step toward peace would be taken here
unless a decided change occurred.
The suggestion from London that
the manner of replying TO the Presi-
dents note will differ from the form
OF replies 10 proposals of the German
allies corresponded with official eX-
pectations. II is thought here that the
Entente Allies may not make extended
answer to the proposals OF the Central
Powers. but will deal with the whole
peace subject in their response TO the
United States.
German Relations Improved
The German view here is that, what
ever the reply of the Entente Allies, the
relations between Germany and the
United States will have been immeas-
urably improved. probably to the point
OF assuring careful steps by the Berlin
government TO avoid any such condi-
tions as led up to a crisis which threat
ened a break In diplomatic relations.
That view is that the advantage Of
comfy with the greatest of neutrals
will be so forcibly impressed upon the
people OF the Central Empires that il
will not be endangered again.
Entente diplomats. while they appar-
emily had decided 10 accept the Presi-
dents attitude in good faith, had not
wholly disposed of their fear that II
might rebound to the advantage Of their
enemies.

Berlin "VOrWaertS"
SEES No Hope of Peace

Berlin. Dec. zc.-The "Vorwaerts.'
which was one of the first newspapers
n Germany to talk Of peace, expresses
deep disappointment over the speech Of
Premier David Lloyd George.
The paper cites passages in the
speech from which IL asserts the only
logical inference is that, firstly, the
Entente refuses 20 make peace until It
can do so upon the ruins OF Germany's
military power; secondly, the Entente.
because Germany breaks treaties. will
make no treaty with Germany at all,
but will itself take substantial guar
antecs by force of arms; thirdly, that
Germany must swallow the Ententes
terms whole and unseen before Lloyd
George will conlescend TO negotiate.
Lloyd George. says the 'Norwserts,
speaks like a judge IN robes laundering
q sentence against poor sinner. II
also compares HIM to supermar and
20 employers VINO during a strike de-
mand that the workmen resume work
unconditionally.
The 'Frankfurter Zeitung" declares
that there is nothing to prevent Lloyd
Georges demand for reparation, rest-
tuition and guarantees against repet-
ton being made IN actual negotiations.
LLOYD George, u says. appears 70 be
afraid of oral negotiations because he
does not trust the steadfastness Of the
Entente
II the reply Of the Entente. adds the
newspaper. contains such conditions for
entering peace negotiations that Ger
many is expected 10 appear as peni-
font. then IL Is clear that the Entente
doe rot honestly desire peace.
