PEACE PROSPECTS POOR.
ALLIES MAKE REPLY.

The entente reply 10 President
Wilson S peace note received
Thursday is regarded in all quar-
tiers as putting an early peace
practically out Of the question, bu
still leaving an open door for the
president 10 make further efforts
The official view on first consid-
GRAFTON is that it constitutes a
complete answer to the presi-
dent note.
German diplomats regard the
reply as even more severe than
they expected. They declared it
evidence that the enemies of
Germany are waging a war of
conquest TO crush and dismember
her. The Germanic allies, they
declared, never would agree TO
any such terms.
President Wilson 5 next move
now becomes the center of atten-
ton. 1t will not be decided up
on until a careful and detailed
study of the replies OF both the
central powers and the entente
has been made.
The reply of the entente al
lies TO the recent note OF Presi-
dent Wilson states the terms up
on which peace with the central
powers could be obtained, as fol-
lows:
Restoration of Belgium, Ser
via and Montenegro, and repara-
ton for the damage they have
sustained as the result of the
war.
The retirement of the Turkish
from Europe.
The settlement of the problem
Of Poland according TO the plans
of the emperor of Russia.
The evacuation of the invaded
territory of France, Russia and
Roumania, with just reparatiOn.
The restitution of territories
taken from the en-
tente by force, which is construed
10 mean Alsace-Lorraine and the
Italian Tyrol.
The liberation of Italians,
'5lavs, Czechs, Roumanians and
>lovaeks from foreign domino
ton.
The reorganization of Europe,
founded upon respect of national
tiles, and full security and lib
erty.
