Outline of "Christmas Peace
Offer" Reaches Washington.
Practically Same as Won Kuehl-
man Gave Last Summer.
PAY FOR LOST COLONIES
Germany To Use British In
demnity To Restore Belgium.
Doesn't Mention Democracy
Aims of Allies and America.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-What pur-
ports to be an outline of the kaiser s
much advertised christmas peace
terms" has reached here thru the
same neutral diplomatic channels
which earlier in the week received in
formation to support intimations from
abroad that a new peace offer was
coming.
In the main the terms as described
follow the lines of those said to have
been written by German Foreign Min
lister Won Kuehlmann last summer. AT
that time they were denounced as haV-
ing been written purely for political
The so-called terms which must be
appraised only at their face value are
said to include the following:
To leave the disposition of Alsace-
Lorraine to a plebiscite of inhabitants.
England to pay Germany for her
lost African colonies and the money
to be used for the rehabilitation OF
Belgium, Serbia, Rumania and north
ern France.
Russian provinces bordering the
Baltic the Black sea and Prussia to
become independent under a German
plan.
Poland to be called an independent
state under Austrian suzerainty.
Rumania and Serbia Intact.
Disarmament, IreeuOHl "a the seas
and commerce to be left to the peace
conference Rumania, Serbia and
Montenegro to retain their original
boundries with the right of access to
the sea being granted to Serbia.
Turkey to remain intact.
Whether such proposal of terms is
merely another step in the German
propaganda to impress the public
mind that the allies are responsible for
a continuance of the war or whether
it is really fee1er to peace, is a sub
ject for the estimate of the govern
mentS concerned.
At first glance some are inclined to
regard them>as the kaiser's much ad-
vertised Christmas peace terms. prob
ably designed in large part to keep the
German people under the Illusion that
they are fighting really defensive
war against foes who insist on the
dismemberment of their country.
May Be Only Kaiscr's Ruse.
There is a very decided impression
in competent quarters however, that
| Germany, having gained great advan-
I tages in Russia might think it to her
! advantage to yield to allied demands
/ in many other directions, which in
! the estimate of her own statesmen.
| would strike balance. This is one Of
| the reasons why some close observer
| believe an offer of peace coming at

tentions of peace behind it than the
