WILL REJECT
PEACE OFFER
THE REPLY OF THE ALLIES TO
GERMANY ABOUT READY
TO RE DISPATCHED.
REJECT ALL TERMS
The Proposal of Germany for a
Peace Conference VIII he Turn
ell Down Together With
Proffcr of Peace.

LONDON. Dec. 2S.--Dispatch OF
the allies reply to Germany's peace
note is imminent. Information today
indicated that the phraseology OF
their identical notes TO be sent by
cll the entente nations has been
practically settled upon.
The Russian reply -couched in
the terms agreed upon by the allies
lis already enroute to Paris where
III will he handed to the American
ambassador, and with the French
note. viii be transmitted to Berlin
some time within the next few days.
From authentic sources tae United
Press learns that the allied note will
contain rejection of peace based On
German made plans and vigorously
worded summary of the principles
fer which the allies contend they are
fighting-to remove the menace of
militaryism, OF might over right and
the r,le of force over international
law.
II is probable that the allies will
make still clearer their aims and
purposes by recital OF crimes
which they propose to hold Germany
responsible. The note, however. does
,ot otata c,xao;fio fa,.,,,p r.~ xs,hioh tba
allies will consent to talk peace.
Such terms must be inferentially
drawn from the statement Of the
aims and purposes for which the al
lies are fighting. They win not con-
sent to a peace conference as urged
by Germany. The note will not adj
nit time limit of Germany's plea
nor President Wilson's peace sugges-
ton. At the same time these allied
notes go forward to the Central
powers through diplomatic agencies
of Spain, Switzerland and the Uni
ted States. the allies will probably
forward an identical note answering
President Wilson's peace sugges-
tions. This Is likely to point to the
German reply and elaborate some
what on President Wilson's plea for
statement of principles. 1t will
probably emphasize the Importance
to America of the establishment
eventually of peace of such parma
nence as to prevent another such
world disturbance

Proposals.

WASHINGTON. December 2S.-
That General Carranza has not sign
ed the troop withdrawal protocol.
but instead has again submitted a
counter proposal was the growing
belief here today. This belief grew
even in those official circles where
earlier the hope had been expressed
that the first chief would ultimately
sign the paper. Men in close touch
with the situation declared they be-
lieved Carranza would seek another
peace conference This request is
expected to be submitted by Chair
man Cabrera of the Mexican commits
sion when he sees Secretary Lane

THE. MEETING
ENDS ABRUPTLY
CONFERENCE BETWEEN MANA
GERS AND BROTHERHOOD
CHIEFS SUDDENLY HALTs.
MA|NTA SILENCE
Neither the Managers Nor the Broth
erhood Men Would Reveal What
Transpired In the Confer
cnce Proceedings.

NEW YORK, December 2S-The
Railway Brotherhood heads and con-
ference committee of the railroads
held a secret session here today
which broke up in short time with
evidence of having been closed abb
|ruptly by disagreement. The con-
ference was held in an effort to reach
Isoyne agreement on the eight-hour
law.
Both the railroad managers and
the brotherhood leaders refused to
tell what transpired. The railroads
gave the impression that the Broth
Ierhood asked something they could
mot agree to.
Before entering the meeting w
IG. Lee issued statement attacking
the compulsory investigation feature
OF the Adamson law. 1t is also stat
ed that the Brotherhood leaders
agreed to the plan of advocating the
repeal of the eight-hour law for the
sake OF repeating with it the com
pulsory investigation clause.
The railway managers said they
may issue statement regarding ths
lsituation later.

WARNING IN NOTE
Officials See Warning i'm Wilson'S
Peace Note Against Amy Unbri-
died Acts of Warfare-Nay
Have To Make Good Threat.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.--Fears
that II present peace negotiations
fail this nation must then make clear
its attitude on the submarine situa-
ton with Germany grew today.
President Wilson, however, in
tends 10 push his peace work to the
limit To avoid a possible subsequent
unpleasantneSs with Germany.
Both the president and Secretary
Lansing have decided to maintain
q discreet silence on this topic. This
is due, Ii is believed. to the fact that
the president does not wish to appear
as wearing chip on his shoulder,
but peace is being talked even with
slight hopes of success. There is now
no mistaking that the official peace
note to the beliigerents and the two
subsequent ''expianations'' by Secre-
tary Lansing constituted warning
against any unbridled acts OF war
fare that might involve American
lives or rights. Since il has always
been this governments attitude that
violations which affect property are
not - BIC compared TO violations
which affect lives the warning is
generally interpreted as being di-
rected, as heretofore, chiefly against
the Central powers whose subma-
rines have not only endangered Ann
erican lives, but have also destroyed
American property, admittedly in
violation of all rules of humanity
an International warfare. Since, how
ever, the administration officials are
trying not to over-emphasize this, as
they really want 10 aid in peace,
record as not considering any change
in its neutrality policy now. One au-
thority, however. repeated that there
would be no more note writing to
Germany. and indicated that If Ger
many cuts loose with her submarines,
following failure of peace negotia-
tons. then break will inevitably
come in keeping with the American
Sussex note threat.
The fact that the allies intend to
state their terms and aims it is
thought here will likely put Germany
automatically .'in the hole" and
hence To make peace more improba-
BILE than it now seems.

WILSON SIXTY
YEARS TODAY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE CELEBRATES
SIXTIErH ANNIVERSARY OF
HIS BIRTH.
SPENDS DAY INSIDE
4 Heavy Rain Prevented His Usual
Morning Game of Golf With Mrs.
WiIsoR-Looks Youthful in
Appearance.

WASHINGTON, December 29.--
President Wilson was sixty years old
today. From closeup" view he
looks at least ten years younger. A
side view of the chief executive as
he stepped iauntily through the cor
idor leading from the White House
to his offices made him look about
half the three-score years. And DR..
Carey r. Grayson. the presidents s
private physician, declared the presi-
dent was never In better health.
Plenty of outdoor exercise has kept
him fit, said DR.. Grayson.
A deluge of rain prevented his
usual game OF golf with Mrs. Wilson
and he spent the forenoon quietly
and in hopes of going for an auto
ride this afternoon.
Three years ago the president was
reported from time 10 time as be
ling in bad physical condition. con
Itinually suffering from cold which
held on tenaciously. Walking and
golfing have driven away his weak
ness for colds and have added weight
which gives him the appearance ol
perfect health.
