BERLIN'S PEACE
HOPES WANING
Refusal Expected

cepted," Officials Say

Berlin. Dec 2s s-The disposition OF
certain PAN German newspapers TO read
an unfavorable Interpretation into the
Austrian and German replies 10 Presi-
dent Wilson's note is not shared in Of
fetal circles where the Interpretation
generally voiced is that the reply IS IN
principle "a loyal acceptance Of Presi-
dent Wilson's suggestion promoting
the prospects OF peace now and in the
future, and an effort in the same direc-
tion as the original peace proposal OF
the Central Powers
The speed with which the Austro-
German answer was delivered is fur-
ther indication. according 10 high
German diplomat, Of the ready accept
ance here Of President Wilson's ideas.
The diplomat in question declared
that, concerning what he considered the
intimation in President Wilson's com
munication regarding the maintenance
Of The territorial integrity of the bel
licerents in an ultimate peace settle
ment, the answer lay less with the Cen
tral Powers than with their adversaries.

claimed as their goals OF war the de-
tachment of Alsace-Lorraine from Ger
many. Galicia, Bukowina and the Adri-
attic provinces from Austria-Hungary
and Constantinople and Armenia from
Turkey. -,
As 10 the prospects that peace will
result directly from the present nego-
tiations and interchange Of notes there
is no marked display Of optimism IN
either official or unofficial circles. The
example of the Portsmouth negotla-
tions, which ended the Japanese-Rus-
sian War, is. however, sometimes re-
called.
The diplomat already quoted ex-
messed the personal opinion that the
Entente probably would reject the Ger
man proposal for conference in a
neutral country. He said that if the
proposal was accepted Switzerland was
the most probable place for the meeting,
because Of it's central position and facil-
tiles.

U-BOAT MURDERED'
HELPLESS SEAMEN,
BRITAIN CHARGES
Ship TOrpedoed Without Warm
ing and Shelled-"Climax of
Savagery," Says Admiralty

London. Dec. 2S.-The Admiralty has
given 70 the Associated Press the fol-
lowing statement concerning the sink
ing Of the British steamer Westmn-
ster. which was reported lost on De-
cember lS:
"The degree OF savagery the Ger
mans have attained in their submarine
policy appears TO have reached a eli
max in the sinking Of the Westnin-
ster which was proceeding from Tore
Annunziata to Port Said in ballast.
On December II, when $50 miles from
the nearest land, the Westminster was
attacked by a German submarine with
out warming and was struck by two
torpedoes in quick succession, which
killed four men. The Westminster
sank IN four minutes.
This ruthless disregard for the
rules Of international law was fol-
lowed BY a deliberate attempt 70 mur-
der the survivors. The officers and
crew, while efTecting their escape in
boats, were shelled by the submarine
at range Of 1900 yards. The mas
ter and chief engineer were killed out
right. Their boat was sunk. The Sec
ond and third engineers were not
picked up. 1t is presumed they were
drowned.
"The captain Of the submarine must
have satisfied himself OF the effect
iveness OF his two torpedoes. yet he
proceeded 20 carry out in cold blood
ar act Of murder which could not pos
sibly be justified by any urgency Of
war. and can only be regarded in the
eyes of the world as a further proof
OF the degradation of German honor

BERLIN DEFENDS
SINKING OF DELTO
Reply TO Washington Says
Vessel Was Chartered
TO the Allies

Berlin, Dec. 27.-The reply Of the
German government to the American
inquiry in regard to the destruction Of
the Norwegian steamship Delto, with
Americans in the crew, declares that
the steamship was chartered for trans
port purposes to a belligerent govern
ment and hence its destruction was
legitimate. This reply has been de-
livered 20 the American Embassy.
The settlement of the Marina case,
which hinges on the question whether
the steamship was a government trans
port, is being delayed pending the re-
ceipt Of further advices from Wash
ington. The American government has
transmitted for information two state
ments from the British government
asserting that the vessel was engaged
to carry horses as part of its cargo on
eastbound voyages, but was under no
engagement for westbound trips, and
therefore could not be regarded az a
transport. Germany is waiting 70 learn
what Interpretation the American gov
eminent gives these statements.
There have been no further develop
ments in the case of the Arabia.
Text of the Delto Reply
The German reply on the Delto fol-
lows:
after Investigations had been made
by the German naval authorities. the
ship Delto, chartered by the Italian
government for the transportation OF
coal, was stopped on October IL Of
this year about forty sea miles to the
southeast of Cape Polos and sunk by
artillery fire for assisting the enemy
in a way contrary to neutrality, after
the German commander had taken pos
session of the ships papers and had
caused the crew to go into the boats.
Half an hour was given TO the crew
for leaving the ship. The weather was
good and very bright. The boats had

until they reached the Spanish coast,

TISZA'S RETIREMENT DENIED
Hungarian Premier Said To BE at Odds
with Austrian Colleagues

Berlin, Dec. 2S.-The administration
papers in Budapest deny report tina;
Count Stephen Tisza. the Hungarian
Premier, is about 20 retire. This pos
sibility, however. has been in the air
since before the death Of Emperor
Francis Joseph. 4 well authenticated
story then declared that the change
was contemplated as in line with the
determination to weaken the predom-
nance which Hungary, under Count
Tiszs, had acquired in the Dual Mon
archy.
The present report gives as the rea-
son differences which Tisza is alleged
20 have with Count Czernin and the
coalition Cabinet. The Czernin ad-
ministration is believed TO have been
formed primarily 20 conclude delicate
negotiations for an adjustment of the
differences between Hungary and Aus
tra. and it is over the details Of this
adjustment that Premier Tisza is sup
posed to have disagreed with his Aus
trisn colleague.

of America and Entente

The best hope OF permanent world
peace would come through an alliance

yesterday. would be only the beginning,
and there would still be much 10 do be

The alliance with the Allies, accord

agreement 10 bring pressure 70 bear
