SO REPLIES TO
RECENT OFFER
By Ed l.. keene


LONDON, Dec. 19.-The allies will not
treat with Germany for peace until Germany
formally states the terms upon which her
peace proffer is based.
A formal note to this effect will be sent
to Germany within few days.
Premier David Lloyd-George announced
such a rejection of Imperial Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg's peace offer of a week
ago in an epoch-making speech in the house
Of commons today. He formally stated that
England ndorsed the rejection of the Ger
man peace terms which had been made by
Russia and France. He characterized the
Teuton offer as moose" of rope in which
the allies were asked to place their necks.
"The allies terms are complete restoration
and full reparation WITH EFFECTUAL
GUARANTEE FOR THE FUTURE" the
British premier declared.

identical conclusion" he said. and
on behalf of the government can
give clear and definite support to
this statement Each reached the
same conclusion as the German
note was received.
The allies insist that the only
end OF the war must be a guaran-
tee against Prussian militarism

fortunate" the premier continued.
but at its worst it will only serve
TO prolong the war.
Grea, Crowd on Hunt
Britain has indorsed every word
Of Russia's and Frances answers"
the premier declared amid cheers.
Not since the tense days when
England was preparing to wage
war-back in 1914-has there been
such a crowd at parliament as
there was today.

imperial German Chancellor Won

premier. He did not mince words

planned. The allies suffered two
