England is convinced the allies star
walton blockade of Germany and Ger
many's apprehension of defeat on the
west front next spring combined TO in
spire Berlin to sue for peace. 1t is
pointed out that the unofficial list ol
concessions which Teuton diplomats
in neutral countries have suggested
the identical character of the sugges
tions indicating their origin in Berlin
waived much that Germany would
have demanded a year ago
In their reply to America the allie:
probably will subscribe to Russia:
frank ambition to oust Turkey from
Europe and obtain the Dardanelles al
beng collateral with the Italian am
billions as to Tyrol and the French am
bitions as to- Alsace and Lorraine
These hopes of the allies will be elias
sified under the category of "repara
tion and restoration"

Washington, Jan. 3.-American Am.
bassador Elkus has forwarded from
Constantinople an apparently authen-
tic article from a semi-official news
paper i'm the Turkish capital giving
the text of Turkeys fepudiation of
the guardianship of the great treaty
OF Paris of 1856 and the treaty OF
Berlin of 1878.
No official notification of Turkey
action has reached the state depart
ment Neither the German nor Aus
trian embassies here had any word
OF their ally's action, although II was
not unexpected.
One of the motives of the repudia
tion, it was said, was to permit Tur
key to enter a peace conference as
an entirely independent power.
The United States will take no &C
tion in the matter.
