Allied Opinion
on Note to II. S.

LONDON, Jan, ~.
The peace door is stIll open-but no tan
gible results are to be expected in the near
future.
This was the British view, as reflected in
the press and on the streets today, as to
the effect Of the Allies reply to President
wilson's peace suggestions II would be
difficult to find any Engishman today rash
enough to predict that Germany is now
ready 10 accept the terms which the note
specifies
The man in the street is under no de-
lusions as to Germany's present military
strength, but he confidently believes soon CT
later Germany will be forced both by mill
tary and economic necessity 10 submit to
the terms the Allies have laid down.
The frankness and courtesy OF the note
reflect the popular change OF attitude
toward President Wilson-from bitter re-
sentiment al what was first termed Amer
lean Ineddling" 10 a desire TO illuminate
a somewhat obtuse but doubtless well-in-
tentioned friend. Everywhere today con-
fdence was expressed Of the American
peoples approval Of the Allies position. II
was held they simply couldn't see things
otherwise.
From the standpoint Of a neutral the big
outstanding feature OF the whole situation
seems to be that the peace ball is still
rolling slowly, but Is destined 10 gather mo-
mentum as the discussions proceed. The
Allies might have blocked this movement
altogether, but instead they really gave Il
considerable Impetus by inferentially lnVit-
