ALLIES FAVOR
BEING FIRST TO
NAME TERMS
ED L. KEEN
U. p. Staff Correspondent


LONDON. Dec. 14.-Senti.
ment increased today in favor
Of including In England's an.
swer to the German peace a
clear and explicit definition Of
the allies basic terms.
u is certain the answer will
be a rejection Of the proposal
at this time, but IL is felt In
many quarters that the allies
should meet the German diplo.
matte strategy In sending the
note by counter-move, which
would put the allies as the
first Of the two sides to make
known definite demands and
concessions.
The Pail Mall Gazettes comment
was typical today of this view II
said:
We do not see why the allies
should not turn the incident tc
their profit by fresh and vigorous
proclamation OF the fundamentals
of our own cause and the condi
tions without which they felt
bound to regard any sort of peace
a mere springboard for a still more
terrible conflict II is an unluue
to acquaint the whole
world with the real issues.
The essence of the allies an.
swcr must necessarily be that
peace without justice Is immoral
and peace without safety, is a
mere delusion."
After the first shock of the news
OF Germany's peace plan and tht
first and instantaneous decision to
reject It, there came today with q
strengthening OF this determination

TN the light Of the present short
age OF raw material for the
manufacture Of paper a recent
report. Bulletin No. 322. issued
by the Department OF Agriculture,
assumes special significance.
II seems that approximately 1.40o,-
900 ton: OF flax straw are burned
or permitted to go to waste each
year on American farms.
At the present time about 2,2o0. 900
acres are devoted to the raising Of
flax, chiefly In North Dakota and
Montana. The flax Is grown primar-
iiy~for the seed from which linseed
oil ls manufactured. The annual
crop amounts to about 100000
bushels OF seed and is valued at ap-
proxinately So, ,0o0, 900.
The crop also yields approximately
1,60O.0I tons of straw. but OF this
only about 100000 tons are put to
any profitable use. The Utilization of
the remaining l,400.0 900 tons. says the
bulletin. would be of immense eco
nomic Importance. since Its paper
producing possibilities are equal to
paper and more than double the an
nual production OF writing paper IN
the United States.
Its sale. it's estimated, would rep
resent an added revenue to the farm
ers of about $S.O00.O00 annually. This
additional profit would be a very
powerful factor in maintaining the
flax crop In our agricultural system,
and would probably result in the es-
tablishment of paper manufacturing
Industries in sections where there
