.KAISER'S PEACE
TERMS REACHED
UNITED STATES
OUTLINE OF ALLEGED GROUNDS
ARRIVE IN WASHINGTON THRU
NEUTRAL DIPLOMATIC CHAN
NELS. TERMS DESCRIBED.
BY Associated Press.

Washington. Dec 20.--What pur-
ports TO be- an outline of the kaiseTs
much advertised "Christmas peace
terms has reached here through the
same neutral diplomatic channels
whic hearIier in tf1eaweek resassad in
formation TO support intlnlatio.ls from
abroad that new peace offer was
coming.
In the main, the terms as described
follow the lines OF those said to nave
been written ny Foreign Minister Won
kuehlmann last summer, At that
time they were denounced as having
been written purely for political pur-
poses.
The so-called terms which must be
appraised only at their face value are
said to include the following:
ITO leave the disposition OF Alsace-
Lorraine to a plebescite of inhabitants
England TO pay Germany for her lost
African colonies and the money to be
used for the rehabilitation of Belgium,
Serbia, Rumania, and Northern
France.
Russian provinces bordering the
Baltic, the Black Sea and Prussia to
become independent under Il German
plan.
Poland to be called an independent
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.

is merely another step in the Gerna n
propaganda to impress the public
mind that the allies are responsible
for a continuance of the war, or
whether it really is a feeler for peace
is subject for the estimate OF the
governments concerned.
At first glance. some are inclined
to regard them as the Ka,ser's much
advertised Christmas peace terms
probably designed in large part to
keep the German people under the H.
fusion that they are fighting a really
defensive war against foes who insist
on the dsrnemberment Of their coun-
try.
There is a very decided impression
In competent quarters. however, that
Germany having gained great advan-
tage in Russia might think II to her
advantage to yield to allied demands
in many other directions which in the
estimate Of her own statesmen would
strike a balance. This IS one OF the
reasons why some close observers be-
Iieve an offer of peace coming at this
time probably has more real tnten-
tions Of peace behind it than the pre-
vfous ones. No one here believes
Germany's best terms would be put or
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 discussion OF terms
From what may be gained Of the
war aims Of the allied governments a.
expressed by their statesmen and by
President Wilson, such an Offering O,
