British Peoples Answer to Peace Proposals On Basis

London, Dec. 13--The British people have already
answered Germany's offer of peace"no, not such
basis as proposed"
That answer perfectly apparent today 1t was re-
fected not only in the newspaper comment but in
pressions from the people on the streets

news of the German proposal came he had been an
nounced ready to outline that date the aims and pur
poses of the cabinet.
Press and public alike look to Lloyd-George on this
occasion to voice the nations rejection of any peace which
is based on Germany's idea of her victory.
Germany's peace views, given out by German en-
bassy official in Washington, generally regarded
preposterous and unworthy of serious consideration here

Britains attitude toward Won Bethmann- Holweg
The only keynote of difference observable in editorial
comment today whether the allies in their reply to
the German note should set forth their terms upon
which peace discussion would be considered.
If the practical unanimty of opinion of the press and
public means anything, the reply will be rejected.

BY Carl d. Groat.

Washington, Dec 13-What part the United States
will play in furthering Gernanys suggestion for peace
is undetermined today
But these three big ideas toward it are in official minds
That England and her allies should at least discuss the
offers.
That any settlement especially in Germanys present
frame of mind would have to be backed by world
guaranty of peace.
That the United States will not be stampeded in the
peace movement
On the whole the sentiment here is at present the
United States ought merely to act messenger for Ger
many and pass on her proposals.
President Wilson is undecided he has not even told
his cabinet what he thinks But his closest followers be-
ieve that this nation ought to know what the allies think
of the offer before making any move.
furthermore, they say frankly they believe England
will the OFFER especially if based the terms
nounced by German embassy official.
In these circumstances, Americas must be

Juarez, Mexico, Dec l3.-Important

gress today, according to reportl
brought to the border by foreigners,
who declare that the city of Puebla, an

German Press Comment.

Berlin, Dec. 13.-If Germany's bid
for peace is rejected by the entente
powers, it is certain the central empires
will not take the initiative again to end
the war.
The public today voiced complete ap.
probation of the imperial chancellor s
solemn warning in the reichstag yester.
day that if Germany s enemies continue
the war it is because they have conquest
in mind Such a belief imbues the gen
eral public with an inflexible determin.
alton to fight OH to the bitter end
against any dismemberment of the faith
erland.
The hopes of the German people are
whole hearted, but if the present pro
posal is scorned the rejection of the
plan for discussion of terms would
serve to cement the empire more fully
i'll its determination and to dispel peace
talk and speculation which has beer
current.
Berlin newspapers were not sanguint
today that the peace offer would be ac
cepted, although applanding the chan
cellor's steps. The comment of Editor
Theodore Wolff of the Tageblatt, is typ
ical:
g If the opposing governments should
decline the peace overtures or diselain
them as sign of weakness and suffer
ing the people will once more ask them
selves whether they are not being driv
en- senselessly and without urgent need
to new sacrifices and renewed mas
sacers.
"The German people, if their oppon
ents answer in the negative, win see
clearly it is their duty TO bear tie heavy
burden, or heavier burdens, so long as
there is no possibility of agreeing upon
an acceptable and sensible peace"
Die Post warns the entente "if Ger
many's hand is refused. her fist will
soon be felt with increased force"
The editorial also suggests that Ger.
many's own peace offers indicate there
is no necessity of neutral nations of.
fers of peace.
