NEW IMPETUS TO PEACE MOVE
AMERICAN OFFICIALS ENCOUR-
AGED BY LATEST NOTE.
Believe II Gives Opportunity for Pres
ident to Take Initiative Toward
Establishment of League.

Washington, Jan. 20. - Great Brit
aims supplementary note simplifying
the allied reply to President Wilson's
peace note has given much encourage
ment to American officials who are
looking forward to a league of nations
to preserve peace.
Severity of Terms.
Although the principal portions in
Foreign Minister Balfour's note de-
livered to the State department are
designed to justify the severity of the
terms set forth by the Allies in their
reply to the note of President Wilson
the formal acceptance in principle of
some sort of national sanction as a
force behind treaties and international
law is regarded as of great importance.
May Give Opportunity.
Many officials believe that the
terms of the British note may afford
the President an opportunity for a
move toward the establishment of such
national sanction. Officials are watch
ing carefully for public expressions
abroad on the subject.
English Paper Approves.
London, Jan. 20.-Commenting on
the note of Foreign Secretary Balfour
supplementary to the Allied reply to
President Wilson, the Manchester
Guardian says:
THE most notable words in Mr..
Balfour's dispatch are those in which
he speaks of the American proposal
for a league Of nations. The war has
shown that mo international law is OF
the least avail as a protection against
a power unscrupulous enough to disre-
gard it and strong enough to dispise
the condemnation of n~eutrals."

sonal affairs and getting ready for the
final goodby less than "a hours away,
after which they will be on their way
to camp to learn to shoot guns and
plunge guns in defense of their govern
ment
They are all under orders to re-
port in person to the members of the
local exemption board headquarters
| from Maine to California and from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf
After being shown to the government
lodgings or given permission to spend
tonight at home, the men will be at
liberty until $50 p m., when they will
again be modified at headquarters Of
the local boards for retreat roll call.
Put One Man in Charge
At that time one member of each
group will be chosen by the local
boards to command the party on the
way to camp. All local boards have
strict orders from the War Department
to watch their men carefully and in
case any of them fail to report, or re-
porting, disappear afterward, institute
instant and vigorous search for them |
and turn them over to the United /
States army for trial and punishment |
as deserters.
Thousands of mothers, sweethearts, /
sisters, fathers and brothers accompa-
MED the boys to local board headquar-
ters today. In many places arrange
ments had to be made to rope off suf-
ficient space around board headqpar-
ters to mobilize and take account of
the men. An even greater mob of
relatives and friends is expected to-
morrow, when the men say their final
goodby and are off to camp.

srnment today to make sure that no
irafted man escapes military service
