WASHINGTON, Dec. ZS.-Ine three Scandinavian nations, Norway. Swed- en and Denmark, through identical notes, the Norwegian copy of which was handed to the state department today by Minister Bryn, have express ed lively interest in President Will sons proposals looking towards the establishment of a durable peace. " and their deepest sympathy" with all efforts to shorten the war.
 Swiss With Wilson
 Unlike the Swiss government which offered to help in any way. mo mat ter how modest" the Scandinavian countries make no direct offer of CO., operation. This fact attracted partic- ular interest because Norway partic- ularly has been one of the greatest sufferers of the war among the neu- trals.
 Nor~ay's Note
 The state department made public the Norwegian note without comment, and in line with the policy of silence adopted by President Wilson and See retary Lansing, no other official in formation concerning peace moves was forthcoming during the day. The text of the note follows:
 Applauds Wilson
 Tt is with the most lively interest that the Norwegian government has learned of the proposals which the President of the United States has just made with the purpose of facili- tating measures looking toward the establishment of a durable peace while at the same time seeking to avoid any further interference which could cause pain to legitimate feel ings
 "The Norwegian government would consider itself failing in its duties to- wards its own people and towards all humanity if it did not express its deepest sympathy with all efforts that could contribute to put an end to the war suffering and moral and material losses. It has every hope that the in- itiative of President Wilson will ar rive at a result worthy of the high purpose which inspired it.
 Letins Are Silent
 Most of the South American na- tions. it was indicated in diplomatic quarters today, will not send com munications regarding the Presidents note on the official understanding that it was addressed to them largely for their own information and not to so- licit action. Holland, whose attitude has been the subject of much specu- lation, also was said to be unlikely to take any action owing to the feeling there that it might appear unneutral to one side or the other and mitigate against the location of the eventual peace conference in that country. Be yond the fact that the Spanish cabinet has not yet decided on Spain's action, no further information has come to the Spanish embassy today.
 As to the belligerents, Turkeys re- ply to the Presidents note, practical ly identical with those of Germany and Austria. was made public by the state department during the day, and Bulgaria's is expected tomorrow.
 Allies Reply "Wednesday
 Dispatches from London that the allies reply to the German proposals was ready and probably would be sent by Wednesday, followed shortly by their reply to the Presidents note, were read with interest here, but drew no comment
 Entente diplomats still profess to be profoundly puzzled about the fun damental purpose of the Presidents note and are undecided whether it was designed primarily to promote neace or for Americas own guidance. They expect, however, that their gov ernments' reply was short and appre- ciative. The real impossibility of peace would be adequately pointed out in their lengthy reply to the cen tral powers, where they can speak di- rectly and to the point, without fear of wounding a friendly neutral
