GREAT BRITAIN CANNOT
IGNORE OFFER OF PEACE
tBv AanoelATro rHraE,

LONDON. Dec. 16, 11:10 p. MI
The foTcfgn Office announced before
closing today that it had not yet re-
,caived cpeace note and disclafmed#
knowledge of its contents beyond
what the newspapers had published.
The French victory at Nerdun is.
acclaimed by all London papers as
the French reply to the German ems
5peror's speech to his troops In Alsace
weg's claim ofthe inyincibIitv OF Ger
man arms.
Press Opinions
Opinions in the British press as
reflected in the latest editorials. are
almost unanimous that Great Britain
cannot ignore the oyertures and that
the least the government can do is to
make q statement on the Allies in
tentions and objects or ask for the
presentation or the German terms.
The weekly reviews, including the.
financial organs, take the same line
as do also the provincial papers. The
only notable exception has been the
Northcliffe group. which immedi-
ately urged that Great Britain should
ignore tho overtures.
Should Not Hurry.
There appears to be q consensus or
opinion that the Allies should not
consider entering into a conference
until they know approximately the
Central powers policy and unless
they consider that that podicy con-
tains the seeds Of agreement The
Russian rejection OF the overtnres
was submitted too late for comment
by the morning papers. All the for
eign papers refrain from expressing
their opinion
Premier Lloyd Georges first ap-
pearance in the House OF Commons

ter may be delayed until the govern

Sir Henry lie Bias. who IS retired
soldier, writes TO the papers urging
that the men in the trenches have
the highest right to speak on the
question, and that their view should
be obtained before any measures are
decided upon

that Count Tisza, the Hun garian pre-
mier. has gone to Berlin to use his

storm OF Steel.
AS the church clock struck the
hour every French gun opened a
storm Of steel. placing every shot i'm
mediately behind the front line
Meanwhile the French Infantry made
one Of its characteristic dashes and
reached the village of Vacherauyille.
where. utilizing the new method Of
infantry attack, they drove the Ger
mans from house to house until the
village was entirely in their hands.
Advancing beyond the village, the
French attacked a German trench
known as Bethmanns BOWL which
was pierced after a hard fight and its
occupants made prisoner. then up the
slopes OF Pepper Hill infantry men
could be seen making methodical
progress until at exactly an hour
from the start the twin crests Of this
height had been swept clear of Ger
mans and the rockets announced the
French were established there.
In the meantime the Germans on.
the opposite slope had been taken in.
the rear by an extemporized French
flank movement.
Surprise Is Great.
The surprise was so great that both
the infantryTnen and the gunners at
tempted TO fee and French aviators
turned the flight into rout by de-
scending to within hundred yards
of the earth and emptying band after
band of machine gun cartridges into
the disorder1y crowd, of which those
remaining alive surrendered.
Making their way along the valley
behind Pepper Hill the French ap-
preached and took I4ouslemont with
similar and untiring brilliance in
which they were supported by an
other French wave that had fought
its way through the entanglements
Of strongly fortified field works IN
Caurieres Wood Just about the cen
ter of the line.
Strong Opposition.
IN front of Douamont the advance
was equally rapid, but on the right
flank the forward movement encoun-
l.tered strong opposition in Hardau-
mont Wood which was not overcome
iuntil late in the afternoon when Bes-
onyaux Redoubt. about FIVE kilone-
tiers IN advance Of the original French
front line, was taken from the Ger
man garrison.

watching carefully for any indication
OF a softeninE OF the German atti-
tude as result of the protests OF the
United States, Spain. Holland. Swift

occasion no surprise here IL the Ger

despite the governn1 ent's declaration
that the measures taken were nee

national law.
It has been indicated that this gov
eTnment's course would be deter
mined by public opinion as it crystal
lies. but there are indications that
should the practices complained of
be discontinued. the American protest
would not be pressed further. Of
hcials think that IT a discrimination
were decided upon the decision would
be put into effect quietly and prob
ably would not be accompanied by 4
public announcement or any diplo-

Germany already has taken.
Should the state departments i'm
formation during the next few weeks
indicate, however. that the deporta-
lions are continuing unchecked, 1t is
not unlikely that some further steps
might be decided upon to emphasize
the American protest. Officials are
understood to have been much im-
