OF the interallied council"
The premier said that at this cOun-
Gil would be discussed and decided
questions which would have a greater
effect on international relation than
any one could imagine. So far it had
been a conspicuous success, had been
free from factional feeling and had
helped to remove friction. The ma
chinery established at Versailles
would have a potent influence in uni
flying the war and economic strategy
OF the allies.
The necessity Of sending troops to
Italy and the Russian armistice, the
premier said. had increased the anx-
ieties Of the allies and cast further
obligation to them.
1t Is therefore absolutely neces-
sary," he declared. "for the security
OF our armies and our country and for
the defense OF our allies that this
country should make greater sacri-
fees In order to strengthen the arm
les in the field during the coming
year."
The pledges given to labor in 1916
regarding men exempted, he added,
would either have TO be altered or
cancelled, and Sir Auckland Geddes,
minister OF national service, had
called a conference for next week
the consider the matter.
Another circumstance which i'm
PEELED the government to make q
further demand upon the man power
OF the country was that under pres
ent conditions they had been forced
to send men back to tho fighting line
who had been repeatedly wounded.
That was unfair and intolerable
while there were men who had never
been at the front.
AS to future prospects continued
the premier, one great power had
practically gone out of the war and
another great power had not fully
come in, therefore the burden on
Great Britain would be considerable.
But we must not imgaine that
the enemy has not had his Difficult

THE KAISER'S PEACE OFFER,
OUTLINE REACHES WASHING
TON OFFICIALS THROUGH
NEUTRAL CHANNELS.
Demands Pay for German Colonies,
Money To be Used i'm Rebuilding
Belgium, Serbia. Rumania and
France

Washington, Dec. 2O.-What pur-
ports to be an outline of the Kaiser's
much advertised Christmas peace
terms" has reached here through the
same neutral diplomatic channels
which earlier in the week received in
formation 10 support intimaticns
from abroad that new peace offer
was coming.
In the main, the terms, as de-
scribed, follow the lines Of those said
to have been written by Foreign
Minister Won Kuelhmann last summer.
At that time they were denounced as
having been written purely for politi-
cal purposes. The so-called terms are
said to leave the disposition Of AL
sace-Lorraine to a plebescite Of in
habitants.
England to pay Germany for her
lost African colonies and the money
to be used for the rehabilitation of
Belgium. Serbia, Rumania and North
ern France.
Russian provinces bordering the
Baltic, the Black Sea and Prussia to
become independent, under German
plan.
Poland to be called an independ-
ent State under Austrian suzerainty.
Disarmament, freedom Of the seas,
and commerce to be left to the peace
conference.
Rumania, Serbia and Montenegro
to retain their original boundaries
with the right of access to the sea
being granted to Serbia.
Turkey to remain intact.
Whether such q proposal OF terms
Is merely another step in the German
propaganda to impress the public
mind that the allies are responsible
for continuance Of the war, or
whether it really is feeler for peace,
is subject for the estimate Of the
governments concerned.
At first glance, some are inclined to
regard them as the Kaisers much
advertised Christmas peace terms,
probably designed to keep the Ger
man people under the illusion that
they are lighting a really defensive
war against foes who insist on the
dismemberment Of their country
There is very decided impress
sion in competent quarters. however.
that Germany having gained, great
advantages in Russia might think it
to her advantage to yield to the al
| died demands in many other direc-
| tiOns which in the estimates OF her
own statesmen would strike bal
ance. This is one of the reasons
why some close observers believe an
offer of peace coming at this time
probably has more real Intentions of
peace behind 1t than the previous
ones. No one here believes Ger
many's best terms would be put on the
table at the first Offering, and those
inclined to this view think a proposal
of peace now is at least an attempt to
Start q discussion Of terms
