NOTE 81 YET RECEIVED

London, Dec. 1.-THE foreign Of
fee announced before closing today
that it had not yet received the peace
note and the prominent officials dis
claimed knowledge OF its contents be-
yond what the newspapers had pub
lished.
The French victory at Nerdun is
acclaimed by all the London papers
as the French reply TO the German
emperor's speech to his troops in
Alsace and Chancellor Bethmann-
Hollweg's Claim OF the invincibility of
German arms.
The opinion in the British press as
reflected in the latest editorials are
almost unanimous that the least the
government can do is to make state
ment on the allies aims and objects or
ask for the presentation OF the Ger
man terms.
The weekly reviews, including the
financial organs, take the same line
as do also the provincial papers. The
only notable exception has been the
Northcliffe group, which Immediately
urged that Great Britain should
ignore the proposition.
It appears to be the consensus Of
opinion that the allies should not con-
slider entering into a conference until
they know approximately the central
powers policy and unless they con-
slider that that policy contains the
seeds for agreement. The Russian re-
lection of the overtures was published
too late for comment by the morning
papers. All the afternoon papers re-
frain from expressing their opinion
thereon.
Premier Lloyd Georges first ap-
pearance in the House of Commons
in his new capacity as prime minister
may be delayed until the government
is in a position to pronounce a definite
statement of its policy toward the
negotiations.

His answer avs:
The German note to the entente
governments contains very definite
communication as to the spirit of the
peace conditions which the central
powers would bring to the proposed
negotiations.
Would Destroy No One.
1.-The central powers base these
proposals on the conviction that their
own rights and just claims today are
not in contradiction to the rights OF
other nations. In addition, the central
powers declare they do not want to
annihilate or destroy anybody and
that the peace proposals will be OF
such nature as to guarantee the
establishment of lasting peace.
"'To go farther in outlining the
peace conditions would have meant a
handicap to the central powers in case
CONTRARY to what some newspapers in
hostile countries have declared) the
hostile governments decided to enter
into negotiations or discussions. II is

Adamson, author of the law. to de-

More Eager for Peace.
Representative Adamson says the
result OF the presidential election
made the employers more eager for
peace than they were last fall and
that the growing belief that the presl-
dent stands for compulsory arbitra-
ton law has put the brotherhood lead
crs in a conciliatory frame Of mind.
Neither labor nor congressional
leaders here have official reports as
to jut what phases of the railway
situation the conferees have taken up.
Belief is current, however, in con-
gressional circles that the foremost
feature of the final agreement will be
an Interpretation of til Adamson law
so satisfactory to both sides that the
suit to test the acts constitutionality
now before the supreme court made
be withdrawn. I'D.
A plan for the Investigation of
threatened strikes also is expected to
result from the deliberations. Labor
is determined that no compulsory
arbitration law shall go on the statute
books, but realizing that the president
determined to prevent strike crises
without investigation. they will exert
every effort to draft compromise
plan that will have his endorsement.
Will Seek Full Consent.
Mr.. Adamson will make an attempt
in the house tomorrow to get unani-
nous consent for action on his reso-
luton designed to provide for con-
tinuance of the life of the Newlands
