MAY SUGGEST
PEACE LEAGUE
FOR NATIONS
President Wilson Will Prob
ably Urge Conference to
Consider Proposals.
ENTENTE WILL
CONSIDER TERMS
U. S. Will Make No Com
nent, However. Until
Nations Receive Offer.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington. Dec. 13.-Although he
reached no decision, President Wilson
s seriously considering the possibility
that the exchange of views that may
follow the German peace proposals
may develop an opportunity to bring
forward the suggestion for league
of the nations to enforce peace.
The German note. however will be
delivered to the allies at once and
from this it is believed that any pro-
posal from the United States will
probably come later. as the American
course will doubtless be guided by the
reception given the Teutonic offer by
the entente.
The impression grew that while the
presidents first consideration was to
safeguard his usefulness as peace
maker by emitting any comment
which might possibly be coupled with
a rejection by the entente powers,
there was a disposition to find some
way, however delicate and informal,
to intimate the sincere wish Of the
United States that some basis for dis
cussion at least might be reached.
Many officials felt that an Indication
of the temper of the entente govern
ments should be available before the
influence Of the United States was
thrown into the balance.
The Teutonic dipi~ssa@ts reffecting
the views of their governna~nts. ha--
lieve the answer Of the entente allies
win be an inquiry as to the basis on
which Germany proposes peace and
with that much as foundation they
see the warning nations well en- the
way to conference from which they
are sanguine peace would result.
The probability of the entente allies
themselves making some announce
ment of the terms on which they
would make peace is regarded here as
having tremendous possibilities for ef-
feet upon the German people them
selves.
In quarters close to the entente
allies an opinion prevailed that If the
entente allies made reply, their first
course might be to inquire what guar
antees would be given by Germany
that the terms of the peace treaty
would be fulfilled and that a treaty
would not be violated, as, the allies
contend, in the case of Belgium. By
making such a reply, entente diplo-
mats see the responsibility for con-
tinuing the war thrown back to the
central powers.

unwise to attempt to use the high

Counting the week lost at the OPEN

resolved to suspend the schools ali
over the county on December p, for
two weeks, to organize again on jan
uary 8. Because Of the unlocked for
occurrence. the high school will be
called in session after the holidays on
January 2, which win then give the
pupils thereof the customary two
weeks of holiday. but viii cause the
course to run through the first week
in June.
The principal. Prof. Rogers, how
ever, requests all the city school chill
dren to report at 9 O'Clock Thursday
and Friday morning for bazaar work
as many plans remain to be worked
out to make the event Of Saturday
highly successful.

BELIEVE ALLIES
WILL CONSIDER TERMS

London, Dec. IS.-The indications
are that the various governments OF
the entente 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 indi-
cate its general attitude, consultation
among the allies under the treaty
binding them to such action probably
would require two or three weeks.
The disposition this morning was
to withhold comment. inasmucn as the
actual proposals had not been receiv-
ed. or so far as was known, transmit
ted to the British government or other
members of the entente. II was ex-
pected this first formality would De
accomplished quickly and that there
would be disclosed what thus far has
been largely a matter of conjecture,
whether any specific terms have been
put forward by the Teutonfc allies.
