Paris, Dec. 2S.-France will not &C.
cept, peace based on the status quo.
fore the war Foreign Minister Plchon
declared in the chamber of deputies
today to the peace terms of the Cen
tral powers outlined to Russia. He
said Germany was endeavoring to in
volve France in its negotiations with
the Bolsheviki but the war would go
on whether or not Russia made a
separate peace.
He said Germany was seeking to
protect the negotiations with the Rus
-0ia.ns, re- esta bl1shfng commercial re-
lation in the meantime, believing that
in this way the Bolshcviki might be
chacked later. Replying to the terms
of the Central powers offered to the
Russians. as published, he said
Germany is trying to involve us
in her maximalist negotiations. After
suffering as we have. we cannot &C
who in preceding years carried foff
BY agreement with our allies, we are
ready to discuss direct propositions
regarding peace, but this is indirect.
Russia can treat for separate
peace with our enemies or not. In
either case the war for us will con-
tinue. An ally has failed us, an ally
pho in preceding years carried off
great victories. It is great success
for our enemy, but another ally has
come; from the other end of the
world, a democracy has risen against
Germany's appetite for conquest.
AT the conference in Paris a pro-
gram was drawn up, and in conse-
quencc unity of action on the part
OF the Allies will make itself felt even
to Macedonia. Germany and her al
lies have undertaken the impossible
task of conquering the world. The
world will conquer them.
I'm this war France will have
played a great role, for, as Roosevelt
has said, she will have saved human
ity."
M. Pichon declared the secret
treaties discovered by the Bolsheviki
had not compromised France. He
said the German diplomats who were
pretending to show indignation were
the very men who sought to negotiate
a secret treaty with the old regime
in Russia, who attempted to draw
Mexico into war against the United
States, and organized plots in Argen-
tina. 49,. >...t
After referring to the German dec
laration that Alsace and Lorraine
would not be surrendered, M. Pichon
said:
1.-THE question of Alsace-Lorraine
does not affect France alone. 1t is a
world question. 1t is not territorial
problem, but moral problem. On its
solution depends whether or not the
world shall have durable peace"
This statement was greeted with ap-
plause.
The occupation of Jerusalem. M.
Pichon said, was victory for the CIV
ilized world. He added that the city
would be given an international status.

London, Dec. 2s.-After denounc-
ing the terms as they would affect
Belgium and other matters as being
altogether unacceptable, the Daily
News says:
These deficiencies might seem for
moment to furnish sufficient
ground for ignoring or summarily
dismissing the German proposals.
Reasons regarding that conclusion
are shortsighted, as already has been
suggested.
IF the Allies are appealed to by
the Russians for their views, they
should seize without hesitation the OPP
portunity of making a candid and
reasoned statement of their war aims
and their peace terms. On certain
important questions. such as the re-
pudiation Of territorial ambitions and
punitive indemnities, there is, in form
at least, a common ground between
the German professions and the de-
clared principles of the Allies"

Ease of American Flotilla in British
Waters. Oct. 25.-When an American
naval ma who has visited Ireland in
time OF peace is asked what has i'm
pressed him most o ireland in war,
the inevitable answer is: 'Ireland's
prosperity and freedom from the
wartime restrictions of other countries"
Hundreds of the Americans in the
naval forces ave visited England,
Scotland and even France. All agree
that there is more freedom in Ireland,
particularly less wartime curtailment
of personal liberty. as for instance, re-
garding restrictions in eating and drink
ing. There is no c~onscription there, no
defense of the realm act" no war
taxes.
And in most parts of Ireland it is
cheaper. Meatless and potatoless days
are unknown there. Potatoes were never
so plentiful. They are cheaper even
than in the United States.
Fresh meat also is cheaper in ireland
than in England or the United States.
The Americans are struck by the
large portions served in Ireland as com
pared with the lean ones they get In
England.
