WILSON WARNS BELLIGERENTS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-For the
same reason that Great Britain did
aot flatly reject the Teuton's propos-
al, they will not reject Wilson's sug-
gestions, is the belief of some of the
Allied diplomats.
Grew, in charge of American af-
iairs in Germany acknowledged the
receipt of the copy of the note for
Germany.
Government officials and foreign
diplomats are looking to the belliger-
ent foreign offices for the next move.
Officials and diplomats interpret
ed Lansing's announcement to mean
that Wilson was determined upon. a
more vigorous course in maintaining
American rights, and warned both
the belligerents in the event any des-
perato final effort for peace over
lures should collapse, Americans
must not suffer. The move was
made primarily to bring peace be-
fore further violation of the inter-
national law, and it was influenced
by appeals to neutrals as well as in
the interest of the United States.
The United States is determined to
remain peaceful if possible, but
warns the belligerents of the danger
of unrestricted activities. Wilson is
unchanged in his attitude of neutral-
ity and he will do everything possible
to keep the country aloof, but he
sees acute danger from embittered
people If the present negotiations are
failure
