WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Couched

language" the allied reply to fresi-
dent Wilson's note to belligerents
reached here today. with an unmls-
allies are fighting for.
The message was decided and
translated and laid before Secretary
Of State Lansing shortly after noon.
In transmitting 1t, Ambassador
Sharp sent instructions about publi-
cation.
Secretary Lansing expected to give
the note out some time this afternoon
for morning publication under the
agreement with the entente. In the
meantime he declined to give any
inkling as to the contents or the ma
ture OF the answer.
Insofar as officials would reveal,
the message places the burden Of re-
sponstbility upon Germany in the
matter Of giving her peace terms. In
asmuch as she left the way open for
Germany to do this, it might be said
that she left the door open for furth-
er peace negotiations.
One official indicated to the United
Press that there was not a complete
throw down of President Wilson's
note.
This strengthens the view that the
peace door is still ajar, though Of
fetal discussion and information was
SO limited that a complete interpre-
tation of the governments feelings
toward the message could not be OBJ.
