WILSON NOTE SEEKS
TERMS OF PEACE
Recent Statements Of States
men Regarded as Being
TOO Vague.

Washington. - Information as 10
their exact meaning in seeking lust
and permanent peace" Is the whole
purpose OF the note addressed TO all
the beIligerents by President Wilson.
The United States desires full. prae-
tIcal and detailed statement from each
OF the governments addressed. II was
stated officially for the administra-
tion.
This government does not know and
feels that II has been given no real
means OF knowing what terms would
be required by each OF the beIIiger-
ents TO make peace. Il regards the
recent speeches Of the leading states
men In all countries as vague and I'M
defined and sees nothing In them that
would enable conference 70 draw up
a treaty.
German Ncte May Be Only Prelude.
Germany's reply TO President VII.
sons note Is regarded here as having
advanced the peace movement ano,h-
er step. despite the fact II disappoints
in not meeting his suggestion for an
ayowal OF terms.
The reception Germany's reply re-
celves among the entente allies, whose
statesmen have publicly declared
against such a program, now becomes
the point upon which further move
is hinged. The German note probably
is the prelude to series Of carefully
considered delicate moves in the great
game OF world diplomacy, all possibly
leading to an approach for a real dis
cussion Of peace terms on grounds
which all the beliigerents feel can
place them at no disadvantage.
This Is the official view Of Ger
many's reply so far as it has been for
mulated.
Lansins's Warlike View Is Modified.
The critical situation Of the United
States and the fact that the nation
has been drawing nearer and nearer
to war was responsible. Secretary
Lansing officially declared, for the
presidents move in the cause OF
peace.
A few hours after Secretary Ian
sing had issued statement explain
ing the presidents action. he was
called to the white house. Exactly
what transpired there has not been
revealed. but Immediately after his re-
turn to the state department Mr.. Lan-
sing issued second statement, ex-
pressing regret for possible misinter-
probation placed upon his words and
asserting that the United States had
no intention OF departing from its
course of strict neutrality.
Congress Takes Recess.
Congress adjourned for the Christ
mas holidays. to reconvene January 2.
In the three weeks of the session the
house passed five government supply
measures-the urgent deficiency, leg
islative, Indian, District Of Columbia
and diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bilis--nnore than ever were
passed before in the brief period pend
ing holiday recess.
The senate passed the immigration
bill. with its literacy test provision,
and it now is in conference. The sen,
ate also began consideration of the
District OF Columbia prohibition bill,
and fixed January for vote.
