upon the achievements Of the central

Washington, Dec. l2-Premier Lloyd
George will "discuss" Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H Hollweg's peace proposals
when the former addresses the house of
commons, in the view of British emhas-
sy officials here today.
These officials said they believed the
premier might outline England's s ideas
on peace proposals.
Pending his coming speech, the EN-
bassy referred to Lloyd-George g recent
statement to the United Press for Eng
land ideas on peace. They had nc
reason to believe, they said, that Lloyd
Georges views on that subject had
changed since then.
Speaking privately, embassy officials
said when given the German embassy 's
forecast of Germany's peace terms, that
the important question of limitations OF
armament or perhaps partial disarma
ment must not be omitted if any dis
cussion is to be initiated and continue
for any length of time.
Another official said that the whole
principle of continuing the war is tt
convince the German people Of the
"evil German militarism. - Whether the
German people yet realize that "evil'

The procedure in transmission of Ger

in the eases of all the neutral powers

The diplomatic representatives of Am

ward the note handed them by Beth

tails. The foreign offices, or state de
partments, of these neutral nations will
then transmit the text to the Amer

ministers at the capitals of the entente
allies. These ambassadors will, in turn
formally deliver the note TO the gov

The same procedure will be followed
in the case of formal replies to the

STIR THE ANIMALS IN.
NEW YORK S MENAGER|E
Bears Get After Bulls and
All Stocks Feel Effect
of Raid

New York, Dec. 12.-Chancellor Holl-
weg's announcement that Germany had
formally proposed peace caused near
panic in Wall street today and prices
on the stock exchange broke two to
five points.
lin spite of the mad rush of bears to
sell, the stampede apparently had been
halted an hour s.pfter the Berlin flash
appeared, by the belief of conservative
traders that the announcement does NOT
mean peace is near.
Anglo French bonds, which yesterday
dropped to a new low level, advanced
l-2 to SO 1-2 as the result of the
Hollweg announcement. Great Britain
and Ierland five per cent sold up halt
at SO "a and City of Paris six per cent
bonds sold at IS IA.
More than q million shares had been
dumped into the market at noon and OF
this total 100000 shares was U. S. Steel
common, which dropped from 1913 3-S
to 119 IA, then moved uncertainty be
tween that figure and 1870.
At O'Clock nearly 100000 shares
had been traded in.
The crash carried Bethlehem Stee,
down SO points to 5000, but aside from
this "war bride" leader prices held
remarkably steady and fractional recov
cries had been made at noon.
1t was reported that many traders
who believed the market was due for {
slump, following several weeks Of gen
orally upward movement, had sold short
and made big killings today. On th'
other hand, small spectators who hat
bought for rise, saw their margin!
wiped out and their accounts closed.
In the foreign exchange market Ger
, man marks and Vienna kronen, both o.
which sold at new low records yester
| day, advanced today. Mark cables wero
quoted at 66 l-2, against IS 3-4 yester
/ day, and kronen rallied from 1882 tt
1l.20.
The scene on the curb was of grea
activity and barking of orders on glis
tening pavement while darkened skiet
alternately spilled sleet and snow. ThC
curb brokers jostled one another, clat
in raincoats and wearing "slicker'
hats of various colors, the colors denot

BUT WOULD HESITATE In
MAKING SUGGESTIONS
Would Have to Consult Other
Neuhals Before Taking
Any Action
By Carl D. Groat.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Dec. 12.-If Germany Is
peace proposals are such that she mere
ly wishes the United States to act as
courier in transmitting them, this gov
ernment will pass the proposals along
without any comment of her own.
On the other hand, if Germany's pro-
posals are that the United States it.
self, along with other neutral nations,
shall make proposals In their own name
in Germany's behalf, the administration
will study the proposal before taking
action.
This does not mean, however, that the
United States would not transmit the
proposals under the second plan.
These. facts were officially revealed
at the state department shortly after
Secretary Lansing was shown United
Press dispatches from Berlin saying
that Germany had initiated a peace
move. In the absence, however of exact
information as to what Germany thinks,
Secretary of State Lansing withheld
comment. His only statement for pub
lcation: "I know nothing about it and
have nothing to say"
/ He would not indicate whether the
proposal came as surprise to him, but
his manner indicated more clearly than
words that the German news was prob
ably the happiest word he had heard
from Berlin in months.
Insofar as the United Press dispatches
show, Germany's course, officials point
ed out, is unprecedented. For that reas-
on, Secretary Lansing was unwilling to
commit himself as to the United States
attitude.
If Germany's offer involves merely
the use of the United States as mes
senger, the state department will send
along her note as matter of course and
diplomatic courtesy.
But larger question is involved in
case Germany wants neutral nations tc
do the sounding out or to make definite
proposals. In that case the attitude OF
the allies, tested out by public opinion
abroad and by secret American diplo'
matte investigation, win have broad
bearing upon what this government
does.

German Colonies To Be Re-
stored, Some Changes in
Balkan Lines

Washington, Dee. 12-Germany g
peace proposals, according to a German
embassy official, will include sug-
gestion that the territorial status of
the nations engaged be returned "prae-
ticallv to what it was before the war
started.
The exceptions are establishment of
independent kingdoms of Poland and
Lithuania and some readjustment of in
ternational boundaries in the Balkans.
On the latter question, it was said,
the situation Is SO complicated that it
lis hard at this time definitely TO sua-
gest anything like positive terms that
would be accepted by all belkgeTents.
The one concrete suggestion made is
that Bulgaria probably will want the
return of the territory she lost in the
second Balkan war, andsit is supposed
Germany guaranteed this when Gar
Ferdinand cast his lot with the central
powers.
The peace terms, the United Press
informant said, include the evacuation
of northern France, restoration of the
kingdom of Bilgium, at least a partial
restoration of Serbia and Rnmania, and
the return to Germany of her lost colo
nies.
The factors which are said TO have
led to the German peace proposals at
| this time are:
/ The favorable military position of
the central powers.
The fact that the winter at hand will
necessitate cessation Of hard fighting
for three months.
A desire to "smoke outn the allies
to announce just what they are fight
ing for.
! Desire to convince the world and the
German people wherever they are That.
Germany is not fighting war of ter
ritorial conquest.
Desire, it war continues, to let the
world know Germ&ly will not be re-
sponsible for further blo0dshed.
the peace terms outlined, the Ger
man official intimated, are not neces-
sarily Germany's S final proposition.
The important question is to find
out whether the allies will talk peace"
said the official
" Germany makes the proposal in
order to find out whether it may be
more reasonable to stop fighting be-
fore either side is able to get in what
Lloyd-Georgc called, in his interview
with the United Press some days ago,
a knock out. y
Although he has no appointment, it
is expected Ambassador Won Bern
storff viii see Secretary Lansing and
thoroughly discuss with him the whole
matter. 1t is believed possible Won
Bernstorff may shortly express de-
sire for an audience with President Viii
son.
1t is not believed Ambassador Ge-
rard had any definite information of
Germany IS peace proposals when he
left Berlin. In diplomatic circles it was
said Germany's action might have been
partly determined by the success of the
Rumanian campaign and by cabinet
crises in England and France.
The peace conference, if it comes,
probably will be held either at Berne
or at The Hague, it was predicted.
