Document is Substantially
Same as Unofficial Berlin
Dispatches
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
TO PRESERVE PEACE
Said to Be Favored by President vii
son as One Of the Elements in Settle
ment Of Nothing Heard from
Austria, Bulgaria or Turkey.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-The note
conveying the proposals for peace by
the central powers, which the United
States is to transmit to the entente
belllgerents, arrived during the night
and was being prepared for President
Wilson early today.
The document was said to be sub
stantlafly the same as published in the
unofficial dispatches from Berlin. Ac-
companying it was a confidential report
from Mr.. Grew, U. S. charge at Berlin,
which is understood to be an outline of
affairs which led up to the peace pro-
posal.
As soon as President Wilson has seen
the note it viii be forwarded to min
lister Whitlock in Belgium, Ambassa-
dors Sharpe, Page, Guthrie and Francis
III France, England, Japan and Russia,
and to the legation at the Serbian and
Rumanian governments. There is a
prevailing opinion here that the Presi-
dent is looking forward to some move
ment for a league of nations to pre-
serve peace as one of the elements of
the settlement of the war.
After reading the German note care
fully See. Lansing said that while there
were some differences in the transla-
ttion when compared with the unofficial
copy there was absolutely no change in
meaning. Mr.. Lansing said the note
would 60 forward to the belligerents,
presumably today, and that no decision
had been reached as to whether the L.
5. would accompany it with any ex.
preston.
The German note was the only one to
arrive. Nothing has been heard of the
communications from Austria, Bulgaria
or Turkey. At least one of the European
neutrals here already has sent a des-
patch to his home government asking
10 be authorized to assure President
Wilson of the support of his govern
ment in sending some expression to the
entente allies designed to influence
them to give consideration to the offer
to discuss peace.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

While the warning nations are awaiting
definite developments from the pCesenta-
tion Of peace proposals the operations on
the various fighting fronts are proceeding
as usual
In Rumania the armles OF Field Marshal
Won Maekensen are lighting their way for
ward, despite the difficulties caused by the
bad condition OF the roads in a Rumanian
winter.
Whether The Rmnanians have as yet
succeeded in establishing themselves along
the line OF the Buzeu is not yet apparent.
In any event it appears that the Rumanian
evacuation of Southern Wallachia is vir-
tually complete as the German war office
announces that great Wallachia south of
the Bucharest -Chernoyoda railway has
been cleared of hostile forces.
Beyond the German report Of the re-
pulse OF a French attack in the Argonne
on the western front and of Serbian as
saults on Bulgarian positions in Macedonia
the war news presents little else of inter

terdaT announced last night that 1880

had been made with manufacturers at
the union S terms which include am
eight-hour day and wage increases of
not less than + week.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated association, said that in
some instances, manufacturers had
granted increases in wages of 50 a
week
''This is the middle of the Easter
season as far as the manufactures OF
clothing is concerned, = declared Mr.
Hillman. New York city turns
out $325,000,000 of clothing annu
ally and the calling of strike
at this time of the year means
a tremendous loss to the manufacturers
To-day alone a conservative estimate
shows that there are 100000 coats that
have not been cut. It is commercial
suicide for the manufacturers not tC
deal with our organization.
Mr.. Hillman announced that 5000
pickets would be assigned to shops
throughout the city to prevent the
housing of strikebreakers over night
