PEACE HOPE
NOT ENTIRELY GONE

Washington, Dec. 20.-The first Off
cial impression here of Lloyd Georges
reply to the German peace proposals,
with the announcements of Russia,
Italy and France, is that it does not
foreclose further moves which might
lead to discussion of peace such as
the central powers have suggested.
This view is held by officials of the
administration and of the German en-
bassy.
Official Washington practically is
unanimous, however, in the opinion
that the British premier's speech has
shown that any positive action by. the
United States toward mediation not
only would be premature but might
embarrass such action later. -
It was stated authoritatively. that
for the present the United States
would act only as an intermediary

Dealing with the war situation. the
premier said he had to paint stern
but not gloomy picture.
The Roumanian blunder was an un.
fortunate one, but at the worst it only
prolonged the war and could not at.
feet it.
1t might have salutary effect. he
continued, in calling the attention of
the allies to obvious defects of or
ganization.
Sees Certain Victory.
Speaking of the Western front Mr..
Lloyd-George referred to the growth
Of tho British armies there and con-
thuod:
II am convinced ultimate victory
h sars Y the nation shows the same
spirit OF endurance and readiness to
learn as tho mudstained armies at
the front"
Turning to the more purely politi-
cal OF the domestic problems before
the new ministry the premier said:
1--WE are anxious to avoid all con-
troversial questions. The functions of
the premier and leader of the house
Of commons have been separated be-
cause it was believed the double
tasks were too much for one man.
"The organization of the new cabi-
net is best adapted for. the purpose of
war; In war you want prompt de-
cision, and the allies have suffered
disaster after disaster from hardness
of decision"
The speech of Chancellor Won Beth
nn-Hollweg before the German
reichstag was characterized by Mr..
Lloyd-George as constituting in sub
stance a denial of the only terms on
which peace was possible.

British Premier Sees Little
Hope for Peace.
ALLIES ARE IN FULL ACCORD
Germany Must "Accede Complete Res:

Against Prussian Militarism."

London, Dec. 20.-Premier Lloyd.
George said in the llouse of commons
that it was felt they should know be-
fore entering on negotiations that Ger
many was prepared to accede to the
only terms whereon it was possible for
peace to be obtained and maintained
in Europe. ST.,
The premier said that without repa.
ration peace would be impossible.
To enter into proposals of which
they had no knowledge was to put
their heads into a moose; with. the rope
end in the hands. of.IGet1nany. Mr..
Lloyd-George said: =; :.,.' - '.''..'..
"Our answer. will be-. given in full
accord with our allies; Each of the
allies separately and Independently
arrived at the same conclusion. am
glad of the first answer given by
France and Russia,"',
Much as the entente allies longed
for it. the premier added, the central
powers note and the speech preceding
it afforded small encouragement and
hope for an honorable and lasting
peace.
Mr.. Lloyd-George said the allies
would insist that the only end Of the
war must be q complete guarantee
against Prussian militarism disturb
ing the peace of Europe.
Formal Reply Coming.
The formal reply of the allies, the
premier announced. will be given in
the course Of few days.
1--WE will wait until we hear what
tegms and guarantees there are surer
than those which Germany broke.
Meanwhile we put our trust in our un-
