with Colonel Il. f. House, his
friend and adviser, who made a
trip to Europe to sound out peace
sentiment several months ago
Colonel House may go again if the
president makes a move to &C.
company Germany's proposals
with suggestions Of any charac.
ter.
It was reiterated that until the
official documents had been re-
ceived or transmitted to the en-
tente belligerents- no decision
could be reached as to what the
United States would do further
than to transmit them.
The London press comment on
the peace offer is known to be in
accord with confidential advices
coming to this government before
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
weg's speech and the note were
published.
In quarters close to the entente
allies an opinion prevails that If
the entente allies made reply their
first course might be to inquire
what guarantees would be given
by Germany that the terms Of a
peace treaty would be fulfilled,
and that a treaty would not be
violated, a s,the allies contend, in
the case of Belgium. BY making
such a reply. entente diplomats see
the responsibility for continuing
the war thrown back to the GEN.
trial powers.
The President has been urged by

the entente government to the
central belligerents would Le
made.
The German embassy had no
further advices, on the terms of
the central governments, but it
was freely admitted that terms
had supposedly been omitted from
the chancellor's speech and the
note. because the sole purpose was
to propose q conference on terms
and carefully avoid advancing any
which might be made the basis of
q refusal.
The Teutonic diplomats reflect
ing the views of their govern.
ments believe the answer of the
entente allies will be an inquiry as
to the basis on which Germany
proposes peace and with that
much as a foundation they see
the warning nations well on the
way to a conference from which
thew are sanguine peace would re-
suit.
The probability of the entente
allies themselves making some an
nOunc ement of the terms on which
they would make peace is re-
garded here as having tremend-
GUS possibilities for effect on the
German people themselves.
The president cancelled all his
outside engagements today, in
cluding one to preside over the
annual meeting Of the American
Red Cross. and remained in the
White House. where he conferred

WILSON PLANS TO LEND
SUPPORT TO 0ERMANY's
PEACE OFFER.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Presi
dent Wilson'S course of action in
connection with Germany's peace
proposals remained undecided
today while he awaited the official
proffer which the central powers
have asked the United States to
transmit to their enemies.
The impression grew that while
the presidents first consideration
was to safeguard his usefulness az
q pesce-maker by, emitting any
comment which might possibly be
coupled with . rejection BY the
entente powers, there was a dis
position to find some way, how
ever delicate and informal, to in
innate the sincere wish of the
United States that some basis for
discussion at least might be
reached. Many officials felt that
an indication of the temper of the
entente government should be
available before the influence of
the United States was thrown into
the balance.
The United States, by reason Of
its duA responsibility Of repre-
sentinG the interests Of most OF
the central powers and the entente
governments in the capitals OF
their enemies would, of course be.

made a complete conquest of Rou-

that country declared war against

THE BALLAD OF THE SAINT.

The little Cherubs whispered,
What strange new soul is this
Who cometh with a robe besmirched
Unto the Place of Bliss71
Then spake the Eldest Angel,
"The robe he wears is fair
The cropping fingers of the poor
Have held and blessed him there"
The little Cherubs whispered,
''Who comes to be our guest
With dust about his garments hem,
And stains upon his breast?"
Then spake the Eldest Angel.
Most lovely is the stain
The tears Of those he comforted,
Who may not weep again.
The little Cherubs whispered,
What strange new soul is he
Who cometh with burden here
And bears it tenderly?"
Then spake the Eldest Angel,
"He bears his life's award
The burden of mems broken hearts,
To place before the Lord.
''The dust upon his garments hem
Ny lips shall bow to it;
bThe stain upon the breast of him
Are gem thrice exquisite
oh, little foolish Cherubs,
What truth is this We miss -
There comes no saint to Paradise
Who does not come like this"
