No Terms Announced.
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 6.-The Lokal
Anzeiger and T'ossische Zeitung unite
in denying today that President VIII
son has received Germany's peace
terms from any official source.
The statements by the two papers
were made in the course Of comment
on Count Andrassy's declaration that
the American president was In pos
session Of Germany's terms.
It was eclared that on the con-
trary Germany will not make Wilson
her confidant. that it had been learn

received Germany's terms from any
official source and that the govern
ment did not intend to give them to

Reason for Murder, Unknown.

substantial motive which would prove
why Bernard Wesley Lewis, wealthy
Pittsburgh youth, murdered Maize COZ
bert, whose battered body was found
in her uptown apartment week ago.
was still mystery today.
While the suicide of Lewis in an At
lantic City hotel when police went to
arrest him, is taken by detectives as
a confession of guilt, reason for his
act is unknown.
The chain of circumstantial evidence
the police have woven about the name
Of Lewis was almost complete today
1t was learned that the day after Miss
Colbert was beaten and then strang-
led to death, Lewis engaged rooms at
the hotel Adelphia under an assumed
name. Definite information is in the
hands of the police now showing that
ne had an engagement with Miss Col
bert the day she met her death.
Lewis and Miss Colbert met nine
years ago-when the model was seven
teen, the police said today. They ex-
pected to be married. Lewis parents
objected, it is said, and the engage
ment was broken. From the minute
social distinctions separated her from
Lewis, Maize Colbert entered the
career that ended in death.
Miss Colbert and Dewis did not
meet again until three years ago. The
old infatuation once more gripped him
and their acquaintance grew, the po-
lice say, until the murder.
