WILSON SEEKS TO
CONTROL SITUATION
Although Discouraged by Allies Re-
fIsal Of Conference President win
Not Give Up Until All His Ideas
Are Thrown Down Hard.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-Despite
the feeling OF hopelessness of govern
ment officials over the prospects or
peace, men close to President Wilson
believe he will try his utmost to pre-
vent the situation getting beyond his
grasp. Two reasons actuate him. The
desire to end the war. and to avoid
having to put through the Sussex note
threat of a break in relations with
Germany should she overstep her sub
marine pledges.
They made no secret of their pes
simism over the allied rejection of the
German proposal Wilson'S friends
hold that he has placed himself in the
position Of potential mediator and can
not quit unless his ideas are thrown
down hard.
An official told the United Press
that present plans call for no more
note writing to Germany. He added If
the Marina. Arabia and otherss de-
velop clear cut violation of the
pledge given in the Sussex case, or
Germany starts new summarizing in
case peace fails a break is the only
answer.

TeutOniC Reply However is

GERMAN ASIACERITY SCORED
BritOns Much Impressed by Central
Powers Desire for Peace-Beilevs
Teutons Realize Enemies Are
Growing Stronger and Themselves
Weaker.

LONDON, Dec 27.--It was made
entirely clear today the allies will not
accept Germanys proposal for con-
ference.
But the Teutonic reply is nailed as
a splendid opportunity for England
and her allies to set before the world
statement epitomizing their ideals
and aims of the ententes
By the lack Of sincere responsive
ness and the inconclusive nature OF
the reply England thinks Germany
has convicted herself Of lack Of an-
cerity Strong influences are work
ing today to urge England to make
the insincerity more striking by a
statement of the allies fighting prin-
ciples. The public Is impressed by
Germany's overweening desire for
peace. They believe 1t is realiza-
tion OF her waning strength. The
Britons believe Germany realizes her
enemies are growing stronger and the
Teutons weaker.
Lloyd George has issued a call for
conference Of the premiers Of the
British dominions at the earliest mo-
ment possible.
1t is presumed meeting will be de-
cided on to prepare a note telling the
world what England is fighting for
and answering Wilson. It Is known
Lloyd George and Financier Ribot OF
France held long conference yester-
day also the minister of French mu.
nitions Thomas.

RUSSIAN DICTATOR SAID To
WANT SEPARATE PEACE

NEW YORK, Dec 27.-Rasputin. a
Siberian priest, the reported dictator
to the court of Russia, wants a sep
arate peace with Germany, according
to Illiodor, the mad monk Of Russia
who at the beginning of the war was
chaplain of the court of Russia
Hliodor recently gained publicity in
a suit against a magazine for breach
of contract in articles disclosing the
affairs of the Russian court. Accord
ing to nliodor Rasputin backed by
the czarina and other strong influ-
ences at Petrograd, will make efforts
for separate peace. The appoint
ment Of Premier Sturmer. a pro-Ger-
man peace advocate is one Of Ras
putin's moves, he said. The naming
of Trepoff premies in disposing Stur-
mer, was the greatest blow the priest
received.

on the border.
Second was the announcement of

call for conference of the Americans

early date probably this week. At
noon no word had been received that
CarranEa was signing the protocol.
The department declared ii had In
