will probably be held in the milk-produc-
ing centers of the New England states
and eastern New York.

Would State Peace Terms
Ry Ed l. Keen

Omitted Press staff correspondent
London, Dec. l4-Sentiment increas-
ed today in favor of including in Eng
land 5 answer to The German peace a
clear aud explicit definition of the al
lies basic terms.
1t is certain the answer will be a
rejection of the proposal at this time,
but il is felt in many quarters that the
allies should meet the German diplo-
matte strategy in sending the note by
counter move which would put the
allies as the first of the two sides to
make known definite demands and con
cesson.
The Pail Mall Gazette S comment was
typical today of this view. 1t said:
I'VE do not see why the allies should
not turn the incident to their profit
by fresh and vigorous proclamation
of the fundamentals Of our own cause
and the conditions without which they
felt bound to regard any sort fof Peace
a mere springboard for still more ter
rible conflict. 1t is an unique opportu-
nifty to acquaint the whole world with
the real issues.
'sThe essence Of the allies answer
must necessarily be that peace without
justice is immoral and that peace, with
out safety, is a mere delusion.
