Our Answer Will Be Given
in Full Accord With Our
Allies" Says New Cabinet
Head.
SEES SLIGHT PROSPECT
Peace Without Reparation
Would Be Impossible;
Prussian Militarism Must
Be Wiped Out.

LONDON, Dec. 19.-The first ap-
pearance Of David Lloyd George be-
fore the house of commons as pre-
mier was made today in circumstances
seldom if ever faced by a new holder
of the office.
Even if the peace proposals of the
central powers had not intervened, his
statement of the policy of his govern
ment, which was chosen in reply to
public demand for more vigorous pros
ecution of the war, would have mark
ed an important step in the world con.
flict. The peace note, however. shift
ed the interest, and every corner Of
the world awaited the announcement
as to the British attitude toward the
move Of the central powers.
Secret Well Guarded.
The secret was so well kept that
the best informed parliamentary cor.
respondents differed as to the treat,
ment the peace proposals would re-
ceiye. The London papers which sup
port the Lloyd George government
most strongly expressed the view that
the government had decided a con.
ference on Germany's terms would not
be considered.
Even the moderate provincial papers
warned the pacificists they had best
make up their minds that a prompt
refusal would be forthcoming But
the hope was expressed in many quar-.
ters. notwithstanding the fact that the
German note contained no terms. that
Premier Lloyd George would be lit
tie more communicative.
Premier Lloyd George said in his al.
dress that it was felt that they should
know before entering on negotiations
that Germany was prepared to acceed
to the only terms whereon it was poss-
tanned in Europe
Will Demand Reparation.
The premier declared that without
reparation peace would be impossible
He said the allies would insist that
the only end of the war must be com.
plete guarantee against Prussian mill
tarism disturbing the peace Of Europe
Lloyd George said there were no
proposals for peace. To enter into
proposals Of which they had no
knowledge was to put their heads into
moose with the rope end in the hands
of Germany.
Little Encouragement.
Much as they longed for it. the pre-
mier added, the Central Powers note
and the speech preceding it afforded
small encouragement and hopes for All
honorable and lasting peace.
Our answer will be given in full
accord with our allies. Each of the
allies has separately and Independently
arrived at the same conclusion. l am
glad Of the first answer given by
France and Russia" he said.
The formal reply of the allies. the
premier announced. will be given In
the course of few days.
The premier said:
1--WE will await until we hear what
terms and what guarantees they are
to offer. Meanwhile we put our trust
into our unbroken army"
The speech of Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg before the Reichstag
was characterized by Mr.. Lloyd Georg3
as constituting in substance a denial
of the only terms upon which peace
vas possible.

PRESIDENT HAS REPORT
ON U-BOAT ACTIVITIES
State Department Is Waiting on
Him Before Taking Any Steps
on Recent Sinkings.

A review of the facts concerning Ger
many's recent submarine activities is
in the hands of President Wilson and
action on any of the cases at issue
awaits word from him. In the mean
time officials Of the State Department
are reticent about discussing the situ-
alton.
Austria Hungary has been asked to
make an investigation Of the sinking
Of the American steamer Chemung in
the Mediterranean November %. The
question Of whether the vessel carried
more than so per cent contraband
cargo, justfying in the opinion Of some
authorities the sinking Of neutral
craft which a captor Is unable to take
into port, apparently is the only point
at issue IN that case. The Chemung
was sunk by an Austrian submarine
after warning. and the members of the
crew in their boats were towed to
within five miles of shore.
Preliminary Reply From Germany.
A preliminary reply from Germany to
the request for information concerning
the sinking of the British liner Arabia
has been cabled to the State Depart
ment by the American embassy at
Berlin. 1t said a submarine commander
had reported attacking the ship be-
lieving her to be an armed transport,
and asked that the United States in
form the imperial government of any
evidence it might have about the Incl
dent and the character of the vessel.
similar situation exists in regard
to the case of the British horseship
Marina, on which six American horse
tenders lost their lives, and the char
acter of which is in dispute.
