Contrast of Voices
(By Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-A policy of absolute silence regarding the peace negotiations has been adopted by President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. It was stated officially today that all steps henceforth would be re- garded as confidential, that no com. ment would be made of any develop ment and that rumors will not be dis cussed in any way
 The decision to pursue this course was made known after the state de partment had received the texts of the German and Austrian replies to the Presidents note.
 Secrets Passing
 In many quarters the official atti- tude was construed as indicating that secret exchanges were expected to fol- low if they did not proceed the formal answers to the entente nations to the notes of President Wilson and the cen tral powers. Because of the highly confidential nature of any such nesO- tiations it is pointed out, the interme diary would be obliged to refrain from admitting even that they were in prog ress.
 Allies Waiting Game
 So far as the entente governments are concerned it is understood that little if any confidential information has reached here to shed light on their attitude. Consequently, there IS no disposition here to doubt that the allies will refuse to enter peace con ferences until Germany has indicated clearly on what conditions she will stop fighting.
 Germany Anxious
 On the Teutonic side. while the re- ply to President Wilson is regarded by the German embassy as complying with President Wilson's suggestion of a method Of procedure, Germany is said to be willing to consider other suggestions regarding methods from any quarters including her enemies.
 The views of the German govern ment are reported as being as fol- lows:
 Germans Frank
 If the entente considers that guar antees for the future are the princi- pal elements to be achieved. and. lacking confidence in the German gov ernment, insists upon knowing some thing of the guarantees that Germany is willing to give. the Berlin govern ment might make some declaration regarding the principles to which she fs willing to subscribe. leaving details for settlement at the proposed con ference. The German government con siders that there is but little to be gained by going into any discussion present time. In this connection. Germany. it is asserted, never has in- tended that the conference suggested should result immediately in the es- tablishment of peace: it is considered that it necessarily would be of a pre- liminary nature to determine whether it might not be possible to end the war.
 Invites Neutrals
 According to the German diplomats, the plan Germany is proceeding on would provide that the delegates sNnuld first agree on territorial and immediately connected terms and that the preliminary tentative territory then should be settled upon. This

"lf for any reason." the order con tinues, there shall not be enough re- servists or enough voluntary enlist ments to organize or to keep the re- serve battalions at prescribed strength a sufficient number of the unorganized militia shall be drafted by the Presi- dent to maintain such battalion or lesser unit at the prescribed strength"
 The language of the national defense act with regard to the organized militia puts every male citizen within the prescribed age in the militia re- serve.

Want Secret Farley
 Diplomats familiar with the views of Germany and her allies were es- pecially emphatic tonight in saying that Germany necessarily would be able to make much better terms in confidential negotiations than in pub lie. The radical element in German politics, it is said, must be considered. Under any circumstances, however. it was said, Germany would not con- slider making peace if the entente in- sists on retaining Germany's lost col Onies. and requiring Germany at the same time to evacuate all enemy ter ritory now occupied.
 Teuton Texts Differ
 The official texts of the German and Austrian replies, received today. varied slightly from each other and from the original cabled press trans lations. Most of the difference, off cials thought was in the warmer. more cordial tone of the official versions.
 Differences between the two replies were noted with interest. For instance the German reply refers to the Presi- dents note as calling for the "crea- tion of bases for the foundation of a lasting peace" while the Austrian has it "an exchange of views for the event ual establishment of peace" Germany proposes the speedy assembly on neutral ground of delegates of the warning states" and Austria proposes that representatives of the belliger- ent powers convene at an early date. at some place on neutral ground"
 The most decided difference noted was in Austria's assertion ascribing to President Wilson himself the view that it was necessary to postpone dis crssion of guarantees for a permanent peace. The Austrian reply "concurs with the President that only after the termination of the present war will it be possible to undertake the great and desirable work of the prevention of future wars. The Presidents note said that the United States would be glad to cooperate towards permanent peace. when the war is over" but did not specifically declare the two subjects could not be discussed at the same time.
 Allies Aim High
 In the entente countries there is hostility to any plan guaranteeing "reparation, restitution and guaran- tees"
 Statements in the Austrian press, which have turned from hostility to the Presidents note to expressions suggesting that he is allied with the central powers for the accomplish ment of the same end. caused further embarrassment here today in the ad- ministration's attempts to disassociate the American action from the central powers note of six days before.
 U. S. VS Germany
 President Wilson. believing that the peace discussions may go on for months. is looking forward to the most arduous and troubled work on foreign affairs that he has ever faced. The President is said to realize that a complete failure of the peace nego- tiations probably would be followed by very serious difficulty with Ger many over the submarine issue. He will devote almost his entire atten- tion to the negotiations and as few engagements as possible will be made for him

NORTH IDAHO IS
FOR THE PRIMARY

Northern Idaho solid for q prefer
entail primary"
That was the slogan OF the vanguard
OF Democrats from the north who
reached Boise last night, including a
number of state committeeman and
prominent leaders, to attend the meet
ing Of the Democratic state committee
tomorrow. They brought the inter-
esting information that Clearwater
county has Endorsed Jerome j. Day for
state committeeman and that Boun-
Diary county at meeting held Thurs
day by thee county central committee
rescinded a resolution that it had pre-
viously passed indorsing Robert H.
Elder for state committeeman. In
view OF the fact that both Day and
Elder have declared for q preferential
primary and it was the desire to have
harmony. the committee decided not to
indorse either candidate. The northern
Idaho Democrats declare that it Is the
duty OF the committee In face OF the
plank in the Baltimore platform and
the declaration of Secretary McCoombs
to declare for a preferential primary.
The state committeeman who ar
rived from the north last night are as
follows:
Shoshone county. Harry L. Day; La
tab county. j. w. Liewallen, Idaho
, county, A. w. Talkington; Clearwater
county. I. r. Grow; Boundary county.

Other north Idahoans arriving from
the north at the same time were A.

mer state representative, and d. w.

newspaperman.

declare for a preferential primary

tives alst night. Il do not believe there
will be serious opposition to It, The
