NO PEACE TERMS FROM
GERMANY, SAYS ZIMMERMAN

BERLIN. Germany. Jan. l6.-There
will be no direct reply by the govern
ment of Germany to the suggestion
from President Wilson that the kellis.
erents make q plain statement Of the
aims and the objects OF the war from
the standpoint Of each OF the parties
engaged.
This was made plain in an official
statement made to the representative
of the Associated Press here by Doc-
tor Zimmerman, foreign minister, yes-
terday, who stated that he believes
that the reply Of the Entente to Tres
ident Wilson, which has been trans
mitted to Germany. bars Germany
from any further effort at this time
to obtain peace.
Allies Has Big Program
The Entente, says the German
foreign minister, lays down a big pro-
gram for its Powers and outlines very
extensive demands which IL proposes
to obtain.
After such highly ambitious pro
gram as this Of the Entente, the very
moderate terms which Germany was
prepared to suggest would only appeal
to the enemy as an indication of weak
ness. Our terms. as we were prepar-
ed to advance them, in comparison
with theirs, would only be used by the
governments of the Entente Powers
to encourage their peoples to continue
the struggle.
Awaits Offensive
There win be better prospects for
peace after the Entente has tried the
new offensive for which they are pre-
pairing. When that offensive has
broken down as have all preceding
ones, then the Entente will be. dispos-
ed to advance reasonable suggestions
when We propose to. conclude the
war;
In reference to the demands of the
Entente that the Central Powers grant
freedom to the races now held by
them in subsection, Doctor thinner
man said: Charity should begin at
home. Let England give a practical
example of what she desires others
to do by herself setting Ireland free. :"

Some people object to examinations
because they are not a test Of what
a person knows, for when a student
has to take an examination he is apt
to be nervous or have stage fright. /
am willing to agree that it is not
a fair test of his real knowledge. 1t
is, however, a test of his available

of an educated man that his know

is called for he ought to come out

nary clearance, and at the close opera
tors have taken 5000 bags Cubas from

advancing the spot quotation 13c per

In view of the meager provision for

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-The
government of Persia, replying TO the
note sent out by President Wilson to
the belligerents and neutrals respect
ing the possibility of a near peace

Persia, the reply points out, is d.
