The proclamation reads:
Our enemies have depressed the
mask. After refusing peace
with scorn and hypocritical words
OF love for peace and humanity.
they now, in replying to the
United States, have gone beyond
that and admitted their lust OF
conquest. the baseness OF which
is enhanced by calumnious asser-

Their aim is the crushing Of
Germany; dismemberment Of the
Central powers, and enslavement
OF the freedom OF Europe and the
seas under the same yoke that
Greece, with gushing teeth is now
enduring
But what in thirty months of
blOodiest lighting and unscrupu-
lous economic war they could not
achieve, they will also fail to
acnicNe IN tho Iutur0.
Our glorious victories and the
iron strength Of will with which
our fighters at the front and at

wrath will redOuble. the strength
OF every German, man OF woman,

who planted this glorious spirit

WASHINGTON, Jan 13.--The next
move OF the United States toward

process of formation today.
After a conference with his cabinet
yesterday at which the Entente reply
TO his first overture was discussed in
detail and after a long talk with Col
onel House, confidential advisor. Presi-
dent Wilson has begun laying the
groundwork for further mediatory ne
gotiations.

consumption" and to win the sympa-
THY Of neutrals. has passed. II any
iheadway is to be made now, It must
DE developed through secret channels,
they believe.
II is deemed likely by some that
the President will bo given his first
cue, II he does not already possess
confidential advices from Ambassa-
dor Gerard-by Won Bethmann Holl-
veg in an address before the Reich
stag on the Entente terms.
What the President is looking for
is some common ground on which
the Entente demands and Teuton con
cessions square sufficiently to give
him base for effectual work.
In the meantime the submarine
boogy again acts as prod to Amer
ican people for peace. Reports from
abroad, confirmed to a large extent in
German circles here, indicate that II
there is no peace now Germany will
push her submarine warfare on a
larger and more relentless scale.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff has as
sured that there will be no further
violations OF the submarine warfare
which Germany has agreed to
cruiser warfare.
