PEACE HOPE YANIsHEs
Teutons and Their Allies Declare
They Will Not Agree to Terms
Prepared by Allies.

Washington, Jan. l2.-The Entent'
reply to President Wilson'S peace
note is regarded in all quarters here
as putting an early peace practically
out of the question, but still leaving
an open door for the President tt
make further efforts:
The official view on iirst conslde
ration is that it constitutes com
ulete answer to the Presidents note
German diplomas regard the reply
as even more severe than they e%'
pected. They declared it evidence
that the enemies of Germany are
waging a war OF conquest to crush
and dismember her. The Germanit
allies, they declared, never would
agree to any such terms.
Berlin, Jan. 12.-"Wc :,ffered
peace and meant what We said. The
offer was spurned; We shall fight
on until that peace, which might
have been gained by diplomcy, is
won by our sword
In SUBSTANCE this is what Ger.
many, speaking also for her allies
Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Tur,
key-told the neutral world today
The following is substantially
the answer of the entente allies:
"They believe that it is impossible
at the present moment to attain a
peace which assures them repara-
ton, restitution and such guaran-
tees to which they are entitled.
"The allied nations are not fight
ing for selfish interests, but above all
to safeguard the independence Of
peoples. Of right, and of humanity.
"They associates themselves and
all their. hopes with the project for
the creation of a league Of nations
to insure peace and justice through
out the world"
Suggested terms of peace:
"The restoration of Belgium, of
Serbia. and Of Montenegro and
the indemnities which are due them.
THE evacuation of the invaded
territories of France, OF Russia, and
of Rumania with just reparation.
'The reorganization of Europe
guaranteed by a stable regime and
and founded as much upon respect
of nationalities and full security
and liberty for economic development
which all nations. great OF smaN
possess. as upon territorial conven-
tions and international agreements,
suitable to guarantee territorial ana
maritime frontiers against unjust'-
fed attacks.
"The restitution of provinces OF
territories wrested*in the past from
the allies by force or against the
will of their populations, the liberia
tion Of Italians, of Slars, OF Ruman-
ians and OF Tcheco SlovaQues from
foreign domination.
THE enfranchisement of popula-
tions, subject to the bloody tyranny
of the Turk.
"Tbe eynulsion from Europe OF
the Ottoman Empire.
The intentions of his majesty the
Emperor of Russia, regarding 70
land have been clearly Indicated"
"lt has never. been the design OF
the allies. as has been alleged, to
encompass the determination OF the
German peoples and their pol'tlcal
disappearance
The allies announce their deter
mination to attain these ends and to
"act with all their power, and to
consent to all sacrifices to bring to
a victorious close conflict upon
which they are convinced not only
their own safety and prosperity
depend, but also the future civiliza-
tion itself'

The parting came at the station, but
1t brought no sighs Of regret. Mr..
Glenn had his auto sent up and be-

field had her auto sent up and began
C make the acquaintance nf the high

Then one morning the snubber took

She had been sitting and musing for
an hour when she saw an auto bear

There was but one man In the auto.
but that made no difference. Gentle

out few days later.
The hunter was walking softly and
peering about when he caught sight
Of a girl instead Of a bear. Then a
voice haiied him with:
"Mr. Glenn. Will you please come
here?"
Mr.. Glenn pleased. As he stood be-
fore her, he said:
