WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Advices received in diplomatic circles today convey the impression that the allies will not state their peace terms as re requested by the president. Accord ing to these reports, this is almost certain. And the best that the pres ident can expect, it is learned on un- impeachable authority, is an amplifi- cation of former expressions that the allies will make peace only on their own terms and after Germany has assured that she will make reparation for all the damage that she has caused and has furnished a guarantee for fu- ture peace of the world.

Allies Will Not Make Peace Only on their Own Terms
 Lloyd George Says.

BERLIN, Dec. 26.-The German gov ernment proposes an immediate meet ing of delegates of the various nations to discuss the peace proposals made few days ago
 Germany's answer to President Will sons note was transmitted to Ambas- sador Gerard today. The answer laso contains a reply from Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, and reads in part thus: The high minded suggestion made by the President of the United States of America, in order to create a basis for the establishment of a lasting peace, has been received and considered by the imperial government, and in frien dly spirit expressed in the note in which the president points out that which he has at heart, and leaves open the choice road to the imperial govern ment for an immediate exchange of views, seems to be most appropriate to repeat the declaration made by the inn periaI government December F with the addition of the proposition that an immediate meeting be held of the del egates of the belligerent nations at neutral place, there to discuss terms.
 Tt is also the opinion of the im- periaI government that the great work for preventing future wars can be be- gun only after this one is ended. And when this present struggle is ended between the belligerent nations, the imperial government shall be with pie asure ready to cooperate with the Uni ted States in this exalted task"
