WASHINGTON Dec. 20.-The first

reply to the German peace proposals,
with the announcement of Russia,

foreclose further moves which might

ture, but might embarrass such ac-
tion later.
II was stated authoritatively that
for the present the United States
would act only as an intermediary

the British premier's speech as open
