PREMIER TO REPLY TO
HOLLWEG'S SPEECH


many would have the most to gain from
an armistice. owing to recent losses on
various lighting fronts and economic
stringencies within TeutOnic territory.
For that reason the prospect of an arm
istice is not regarded with favor in Lon
don, and the suggestion is advanced that
one of the chief motives prompting the
proposal was to gain time.
Concerning unofficial reports that, one
of the Teutonic proposals is a return to
the status quo before the war, except
as to the creation OF Polish and Lithu-
anian kingdoms, 1t is said here that
this apparently is impossible from Stne
British view point. as it would not pro-
vide any compensation TO Belgium
whose defense has always been referred
to as one of the principal motives of
Great Britain in entering the conflict.
In the same circles Russia's refusal
also is expected of any settlement which
would leave parts of Serbia within Teu-
tonic authority. owing TO the bearing OF
the Serbian question on Russia's entry
into the war.

After reading the note the chancellor
said:
Gentlemen. in August. 1914. our ELI

question of peace, which is a question
of humanity. We await the answer of

which IS guaranteed to us by our exte-
rior and interior strength and by our
clear conscience. If our enemies decline

den Of all these terrors which hereafter
will follow, then even I'm the least and

burn in sacred wrath against our en-

slaughter. in order that their plans of
conquest and humiliation may continue.
"In a fateful hour we took fateful

.mpudent Old Peace Trick,
SAYS London Daily Mail
(By Associated Press, }

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The morning
newspapers in their editorial views on
Germany's peace proposals take two
main grounds-that the offer should he
rejected or that it should be met with
a statement of the terms on which the
entente allies are willing to effect 4
peace, leaving il to the central powers
to accept or reject it.
The Morning Post argues that +he
opening of negotiations would imply an
armistice in which Germany would OBJ
viously occupy the predominant position
and that the question would be whether
the entente allies were prepared to ac-
cept terms dictated by Germany. Ii adds
that to grant an armistice would be to
abandon the hope of ever gaining the
power to force Germany to submission,
Germany says the Morning Post,
knows she has reached her zenith and
henceforth must decline. Nothing,
therefore, will better serve her purpose
than an armistice.'
The Daily Mail describes the offer Of
the central powers as "an impudent old
peace trick which is becoming as hack.

BERLIN, Dec. 1E.-kolloWing is IN
ext Of the note addressed by German
Ind her allies to the hostile govern
nents:
The most terrific war ever expe-
rienced in history, which has been
raging for the last two years and n
half over a large part or the world
"a catastrophe which thousands of
years of common civilization was
unable to prevent, and which in
jures the most precious achieve
ments OF humanity. Our aims are
not to shatter nor annihilate our
adversaries. In spite of our con-
aciousness of our military and eco
nomic strength and our readiness TO
continue the war (which has been
forced upon us) until the bitter end,
If necessary; at the same time
prompted by the desire to avoid
further bloodshed and make an end
to the atrocities of war, the four
allied powers propose TO enter
forthwith into peace negotiations.
The propositions which they bring
forward for such negotiations and
which have for their object a guar
antee of the existence, Of the honor
and liberty Of evolution for their
nations. are. according to their firm
belief an appropriate basis for the
establishment of q lasting peace.
The four allied powers have been
obliged to take up arms to defend
justice and the liberty of national
evolution. The glorious deeds of
our armies have i'm no way altered
their purpose. We always main
tanned the firm belief that our own
rights and justified claims in no way
control the rights OF these nations.
The spiritual and material prog
ress which were the pride of Europe
at the beginning of the twentieth
century are threatened with ruin.
Germany and her allies, Austria
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey,
gave proof OF their unconqperable
strength in this struggle. They
gained gigantic advantages over ad-
versaries superior in number and
war material. our lines stand I'M
shaken against ever repeated at
tempts made by armies.
The last advance in the Balkans
has been rapidly and VIGOROUSLY
overcome. The most recent events
have demonstrated that further
continuance of the war will not re-
suit in breaking the resistance of
our forces and the whole situation
with regard to our troops justifies
our expectation of further successes.

LONDON, Dec. 3.-The indications are
that the various governments of the en-
tente allies do not intend to act hastily
in making joint response to the peace
proposals of the central powers.
1t was pointed out in well informed
quarters today that while each one of the
allied governments might indicate Its gen.
eral attitude, consultation among the al
lies under the treaty binding them to
such action probably would require two
or three weeks, making it unlikely that
the joint reply of all the allies will be
available before the first of the year
