TERMS GIVEN FIRST DAY
CENTRAL POWERS WILL HAVE
PEACE OFFER READY WHEN
CONFERENCE coNVENEs.
Count Won 5ernstorff in Statement
Says He Considers Answer to VIII
sons Proposal as Acceptance BY
Teutons Of All Suggestions.

Washington.-In spite of the wide
gulf between the insistence of the Cen
trail Powers for an immediate peace
conference and the forecast of uni
nous refusal by the Entente Allies to
enter such conference without know
ing Germany's terms in advance, the
American Government believes that
the negotiations in progress are result
ing in good. It was said with authority
that until the door to peace actually
closed by one side or the other, Presl-
dent Wilson will continue to hope that
any discussion of the subject will tend
to hasten the end of the war.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador, returning unexpectedly
from New York, authorized the AssO-
ciated Press to make the following
statement:
: II regard the note of my govern
ment as constituting an acceptance of
everything suggested by President
Wilson in his note to the belligerent
nations of Europe
It was made clear at the Embassy
that Germany stands ready to make
known her terms on the first day of
any conference that may be held, and
officials expressed themselves as be-
ing greatly surprised at the view pre-
vailing in some quarters here that
the Berlin government had failed to
meet the Presidents suggestions by
note, setting down in the reply the
terms upon which it is willing to make
peace The German displomats say
President Wilson has no intention Of
drawing a public declaration concern
ing terms from the Central Powers.
On the contrary they think the Pres
ident's suggestion that an early &C.
casion be sought to call out from all
the nations now at war such an avow-
al of their respective views as to the
terms upon which the war might be
concluded" has been fully met by
Germany in seeking an immediate
conference with her enemies.

CENTRAL POWERS REPLY
SUGGEST THAT CONFERENCE
BE HELD TO DISCUSS BASIS
OF PEACE TERMS.
In Washington, Action 10 Looked Upon
as Advancing Cause, Although
There is Disappointment Because
No Terms Are Set Forth.

Washington.-Germany's reply to
President Wilson's note is regarded
here as having advanced the peace
movement another step despite the
fact that it disappoints in not meeting
his suggestion for an avowel of terms.
The reception Germans reply re-
ceives among the Entente Allies,
whose statesmen have publicly de-
clared against such a program, now
becomes the point upon which a fuTth-
er move hinges. The German note
probably is the prelude to a series Of
carefully considered delicate moves in
the great game of world diplomacy all
possibly leading to an approach for g
real discussion of peace terms on
grounds which all the belligerents can
place them at no disadvantage.
This is the official view of Ger
many's reply, so far as it has been
formulated on the basis of the un-
official text. The official copy had not
been received and President Wilson
was keeping his mind open.
Neutral diplomatic quarters, too, re-
garded the note as step toward peace
and rather leaned to the view that
Germany might follow it with a con-
fidential communication of some sort
outlining her terms.
The reply of the Central Powers as
given out at Berlin, says:
"The high-minded suggestion made
by the President of the United States
of America in order to create a basis
for the establishment of a lasting
peace has been received and consider
ed by the Imperial Government in the
friendly spirit which was expressed in
the Presidents communication.
"The President points out that
which he has at heart and leaves open
the choice Of roads.
"To the Imperial Government an i'm
mediate exchange Of views seems to
be the most appropriate road in order
to reach the desired result.
'It begs, therefore, in the sense of
the declaration made on December IL
which offered a hand for peace nego-
tiations to propose an immediate meet
ing Of delegates of the belligerentS
States at neutral place.
''The Imperial Government is also
of the opinion that the great work of
reventing future wars can be begun
only after the end of the present strug-
gle of the nations.

Latest Suggestions For Changes In
Agreement viii Be Considered by
The Three American Representa-
tives, Lane, Mott and Gray.

Washington.-One more appeal for
modification of the protocol providing
for the withdrawal of American troops
from Mexico is made by General Car
rama in a message delivered to Sec
rotary Lane by Luis Cabrera, chair
man of the Mexican members of the
joint commission. The Mexican first
chief replied to the insistent Ameri-
can demand that the protocol signed
by his spokesman at Atlantic City be
ratified with an eight hundred word
document in which he failed to &C.
cede to the demand, but refra1ned
from writing anything that could be
construed as fiat reputation.
The latest suggestions for changes
in the agreement now will be consid-
cred by the three American represen-
tatives- Lane, J. r. Mott
and Judge Gray. Secretary Lane adj
vised his colleagues of the character
of the reply and asked them to meet
him here as soon as they conven-
iently could.

which the Americans will give the
Mexicans their answer and on its ma
ture depends the future course OF the
commissioners.
It was learned that the Mexican
commissioners were confident that no
inseparable barrier had been raised by
Carranza.
The chief insistence of Carranza has
been that the American troops should
be withdrawn Internationally which
the American commissioners would
not consider. It was indicated that
Carranza's insistence on that point
was less pronounced now and that the
change in his attitude had been
wrought largely by the altered mill
tary situation in northern Mexico.

der First Quartermaster Won Luden-
dorf universal labor service law.
Counting four Months before the
probable renewal of the world war
in full vigor on all fronts, these fig
ures mean new immense supply Of
cannon Of all calibers from field guns
up to the gigantic howitzers, to meet
the admittedly gigantic, effort which
the Entente Allies are expected to
make in this the third year of Kitch-
ener's prophecy, to turn the scale
of the war.
Along with these guns the German
factories are turning out correspond
ingly stupendous quantities of am
munition and the production of ma
chine guns, each of which virtually
replaces a platoon of men, has been
placed on a scale far beyond that
of the past year.
The campaign of 1917 will, it is
already evident, be fought as wide
extension and development of the
Somme battle, with even a heavier
conception of artillery over a far
wider front and with lines literally
bristling with machine guns. Con-
fdence that their opponents will be
unable to break through this wall of
steel and fire is not only expressed
by the higher commanders, but also
is manifested right down into the
ranks Of the common people.
