GERMAN SAYS PEACE
PROPOSAL IS DEFINITE

Overseas News Agency today gave out
resume of an interview with "A
distinguished German dfplomatist" re-

some foreign newspapers that the
central powers should have added def
mite peace proposals to their recent
offer.
The German note to the entente
governments" the diplomat is quoted
as replying. ''is n very definite COM
munication as to the spirit of the peace
conditions that the central powers
would bring to the peace negotiations;
the central powers base these propos
ais on the conviction that their own
right and Just claims today are not In
contradiction to the rights OF other
nations, They further declare that
they neither want to annihilate nor
destroy any other nation. and that the
peace proposals are Of such nature as
10 guarantee the establishment OF a
lasting peace
ITO outline peace any further would
have meant to handicap the central
powers in the event that--contrary 10
some newspapers in the hostile coun-
tries declared--the hostile governments
should decide in favor Of entering Into
negotiations or discussions 1t is
manifest that nobody could come 10
such negotiations with tied hands,
while the hands Of tho other party are
completely free"
