Paris, May 1.-THE most significant
pronouncement made by President Poin-
care since the beginning Of the war was
uttered by him today at Nancy. the
capital of French Lorraine.
Replying to the reference to peace pro-
posals contained in the Kaiser's reply to
the American ultimatum. President Poin-
care, who was addressing a body of
Lorraine refugees, said:
THE Central Empires, haunted by re-
morse at having begun this war, and
affrighted by the indignation and hatred
which they have aroused among human
kind, are today attempting to make the
world believe that the allies alone are
responsible for the prolongation of hos
tilities
This is ponderous irony that deceives
no one. Neither directly or indirectly
have our enemies offered US terms of
peace. But we do not want them to Of
fer us peace; we want them to ask US
for peace. We do not want to submit to
their conditions; we want to enforce our

leave imperial Germany the mistress to
begin another war and hang as an eter-
nal menace over Europe; we want a peace
that will bring restoration Of rights and
that will carry with it guarantees OF
equilibrium and stability.
80 long as this peace is not assured
to US and so long as our enemies will
not admit they are defeated. we shall
not cease fighting"
