SECRETARY LANSING SILENT
on GERMANY'S PROPOSAL

WASHINGTON. Dec. f2.-Infofm-
ed by the United Press that Germany
had offered to discuss peace, Secreta-
iy Lansing finished reading the dis
patches, saying, II know nothing
about IT,"
The United Press dispatch was
conveyed to him by his secretary,
Richard Crane, who explained that
Ii was not surprising. that press dis
patches regarding such matter
should reach the United States be-
Fore sfie official dispatches.
The news was given to Lansing
JUS fore his regular morning ap-
poingI ent with the newspaper men
while At department conference.
Immediately after receiving the news
Lansing declared that for the mo
msnt' he could not see the newspa-
per men. II was presumed that he
would keep his appointment at a
later hour.
The United States will direct the
peace proposals to the entente ma
tions where she represents Germany's
interests. The administration view
point to date has been a disinelina-
ton to engage in any peace moves
until one side or the other gave an
indication that il wanted peace.
