by Karl w. ackcrman.

BERLIN. Dec. 13.--The Central
powers will not take the initiative
again TO end the war IL Germany
bid for peace is rejected by the en-
tente nations il appeared certain to-
day.
Complete appreciation OF Chan.
cellor Won Bethmann-Holweg's warn
Ting in the reichstag yesterday that
If Germany's enemies continue the
war il will be because they have
conquest in mind was favorably re-
ceived by the public. Such belief
imbues the German public with o de-
termination to fight against any dis
memberment of the empire.
The newspapers or Berlin are not
sanguinary that Germany's peace Of
fer will be accepted by the allies,
though they applauded the chancel-
lor's action.
IF the opposition OF the govern
ment decline the peace ovortures or
disdain them as signs of weakness
the people will once more ask them
selves whether or not they are be-
ing driven senselessly and without
urgent need to new sacrifices and re-
newed massacres, editorialized the
Tageblatt. THE German people, in
the event the proposal is answered
In the negative, will see clearly their
duty in the war"
''lf Germany's hand is refused her
fist will soon be felt with increased
force was the warning of the Die
Post
The diplomatic ouTps here gener-
ally considers Germany's peace move
master stroke.
Secretary Grew of the American
embassy personally supervised the
translation of the peace proposal,
of which he received two copies,
one in French He was asked to
communicate the text to London,
Petrograd. Paris and Rumania. the
Spanish ambassador being requested
to transmit 1t to Belgium and Por-
tugal and the Swiss minister to Italy.
The Tageblatt cautiously says that
every one will support the peace
move to the fullest power, which is
the first step toward peace. The
Vossiche Zeitung explains that the
neutrals, in this instance. are not to
act as mediators but merely as car
riers of the proposals.
