SUMMARY OF OPINION
IN ALLIED NATIONS.

German terms for a general peace
and the suggestions that the entente
join the Russo German peace confer
ence have brought no Immediate re-
sponse. American, British and French
leaders are silent, probably awaiting
a direct message from the peace max
ers at Brest-Litovsk.
The attitude of the American gov
ernment has not changed and it Is
felt in Washington that the present
German promises of no annexations
and no indemnities are insincere. An
alleged view Of the German peace
terms in high British circles says that
Germany desires a general peace and
does not want a separate peace with
Russia. British newspaper opinion is
divided.
A recess in the peace negotiations
hace been taken and the conference
will be resumed January at a place
not yet determined. Leon Trotzky.
the Bolsheviki foreign minister, IS
said to be preparing a new appeal to
the entente allies to join the confer
ence. 1t is indicated in Russian dis
patches received in London that the
Bolsheviki place most Of their hopes
in retaining power in the consumma-
ton of a peace which Will meet the
wishes Of the Russian population. thus

(By Associated Press,

London, Dec. as.-A statement pur-
porting to give in broad outline the
view taken III high British political
circles of the German peace terms IS
printed by the Daily Express. It says
that two things are known here, first
that Germany does not. want a sepa-
rate peace with Russia, but q general
peace, and second, that Germany fears
Bolshevik influence, being afraid OF It's
effects on the German working classes.
"A stiff upper lip is the attitude In
this country at present the state
ment declares. ."The peace terms are
not sufficient to lead us to lay down
our arms. We must be watchful. It
