Polite REPLY TO
Note EXPECTED
But Allies Are Unlikely to State
Their Terms.
ENTENTE TRUSTS PRESIDENT

War Powers Now Sure American
Executive Is Not Seeking to Aid
Foe-Purpose Of United States Il
to Be Hono.ed.
Chicago, Dec. 26.-The entente pow.
ers will make conciliatory reply to
the peace suggestions Of President
Wilson, John Callan O'Laughlin says
in special dispatch.
"They will politely acknowledge the
humanitarian reasons which prompt
ed him to urge that steps be taken to
terminate the war;" Mr.. OLaughlin
says.
Will Blame Germany.
"They will place the responsibility
for the conflict upon Germany, each
as its own interests dictate, and will
declare their willingness to pass upon
the terms Of the Central powers when
they shall be transmitted. Further
consultation may cause the allies to
set forth the terms upon which they
will be prepared to enter upon nego-
tiations. These are difficult to formu-
late, however, and more embarrass-
ing to make public.
"For example, Great Britain and
Russia agreed the latter should &C.
Quire Constantinople as compensation
for the losses suffered during the war.
Not a German Move.
"The agreement was not given to
the press until conditions compelled
Italy has an agreement with. her al
lies covering Albania which may
arouse Greece. Theye may be other
understandings which will cause the
central powers to fight until destroyed.
1.-THE same situation is true Of the
central powers with reference to the
confidently expected, therefore, that
neither side will state its terms with
the explicitness which President Will
son has urged. The allies have been
moved to act considerably upon Pres
ident Wilson's suggestion, largely be-
caues they have satisfied themselves
that it has no connection whatever
with the German proposal.
Believe Wilson eIundered.
"They are convinced that Mr.. Will
son made a mistake as to the time of
his note and they re-
gard him as guilty Of excess of zeal in
his action.
But it seems a great deal to have
the powers realize that he did not
act from any interest in the success
Of Germany and her allies. The real
reason for the dispatch of the note the
allies attribute to the presidents fear
that unless the war should terminate
the United States will be forced to
rupture relations with Germany on
account of the operations of German
THE allies know as we'll as does
the president that the Germans con-
template a comprehensive submarine
in the spring. This will
mean further trouble for the United
States unless peace should GOMEZ.
