WASHINGTON GETS NOTE
Communication Says Entente Allies
Believe IL impossible at Present to
Attain Peace Which Will Assure
Guarantees They Consider Essential.

Washington, Jan. 19-Great Britain
has officially accepted President VIII
sons proposal, outlined in his recent
peace note. for world peace alliance
to maintain peace after the war
This is the Interpretation placed in
official circles on note from the en-
tente allies, written by Arthur Bal
four. British foreign minister, received
by the state department and made
public.
The note explains why the allies
believe it impossible at present to at
tain a peace which will assure them
the guarantees they regard as essen
tial.
A durable peace cannot be realized
unless three conditions are fulfilled,
according to the allies communica-
tion. These conditions are:
First" Existing causes of interna-
tional unrest shall be, as far as posi-
BILE, removed or weakened.
Second-"The aggressive aims and
the INSCRIPTIONS methods OF the cen
trail powers should fall into disrepute
among their own people.
Third-"Behind international law
and behind all treaty arrangements
for preventing or limiting hostilities
some form of international sanction
shall be devised which would give
pause to the hardest aggressor.
Explains Territorial Changes.
The note also explains why the al
lies demand the expulsion OF Turkey
from Europe. restoration of Alsace-
Lorraine to France, of Italia Irreden-
ia to Italy and the other territorial
changes set forth.
After charging that German infiu-
ence in Turkey had resulted in con
ditions as barbarous and more ag-
gressive than we're known under Sui
tan Abdul Hamid, and that it has
been shown Germany cannot be ex-
pected to respect treaty obligations,
Mr. Balfour says:
so long as Germany remains the
Germany which, without a shadow OF
justification, overran and barbarously
i'll treated a country ii was pledged
to defend, no state can regard its
rights as secure II they have no bet
ter protection than a solemn treaty
Asserting that Belgium was not
Germany's only victim and that "neu-
trails were intended to note outrages
which accompanied its conquest" the
note recites the reign of terror" at
tendant upon Germany's method OF
warfare and in that connection says;
The war stats of the central pow
ers are well content to horrify the
world If at the same time they can
