Amsterdam, October 16-(Corre-
spondence) fb-The public kitchens es
tablished throughout the German en-
pire since the beginning Of the war
would now be able to supply food for
about one-fourth of the population,
according to statement published by
the German war Office. Il would ap-
pear from this statement that there
was $4,000 such establishments in the
Empire and that their ordinary ca
pacity amounted to the production in
a recent month of 2,5O0,O0O quarts Of
food.
There are in the German empire
563 communes having 10000 or more
inhabitants each. Only about SO Of
these now are without public kitchens
The majority of towns report estab-
llshments providing midday dinners
only, although all the kitchens are
equipped for supplying at least two
meals daily.
In Berlin there are now &C public
kitchens. The number of persons who
obtain food from them fluctuates in a
remarkable manner. In recent weeks
the number of participants have aver
aged about 10000 daily.

PEACE TERMS KNOWN
ACCORDING TO FORMER PRE-.
MIER OF HUNGARY.
President Wilson Calls Col. House
for Conferences on Latest
Developments.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Jan. 4.-Coincident
with the receipt. here OF confidential
advices giving the broad, outlines Of
the entente reply to President Will
sons note proposing a discussion Of
peace terms, Col. E. NJ. House, the
Presidents friend and adviser, ar
rived at the White House. The col
onel's last visit was followed by the
dispatch Of the Presidents note.
At the same time press dispatches
from London told Of a speech by
Count Julius Andrassy, former pre-
mier OF Hungary, stating that the
central powers had given or would
give President Wilson a statement Of
tente allies could obtain them from
him.
Officials at the White House and
the State Department would not dis
cuss these developments further than
to say definitely that no further move
ment would be determined until the
entente reply was received. 1t was
said that the President still has his
mind open on the question.
1t was not disclosed whether the
administration considers that the I'M
favorable action of the entente has
left the way open for the confidential
exchange Of terms between the op-
posing groups Of nations.
In view of the delicate nature of
the negotiations, extreme secrecy is
being observed by the few officials
in close touch with the situation.
Both in Germany and entente cir.
cles pessimism over the outlook was
expressed. The President, however,
was understood to think that the
moves already made will be helpful
ultimately, regardless of the immedi.
ate consequences.
Preliminary Information received
here indicates that the entente note
will pay more attention to the Presi.
dents suggestion that means be
found for preserving peace in the fu.
ture than did the reply of the central
powers, which suggested postpone
ment of this question until after the
present war.
