DIPLOMATS RELUCTANT
TO DISCUSS SITUATION


Eoth entente and Teutonic diplomats
III Washington were reluctant to dis
cuss the peace situation Tonight. al
though ii was apparent that diplo-
matte Washington believes with the
President that the way toward peace
!S open. and that immediate progress

Tcntonic diplomats, however, tina,
definite peace developments must como
within thirty days. Unless both groups
of belligcrcnts have been forced into
peace negotiations within that time.
they asserted, the big spring drive
would he on, and tho war would con-
tinnc throughout another year.
Tcutonic diplomats were entirely
aroused Tonight over the continucu
agitation by the entente statesmen on
the question OF diSmcnibcrncnt OF
Turkey They asserted that for the
entente TO make Turkish doom con
dltioh precedent To peace was incon-
sisteni one German diplomat declared
that the entente powers had made Wig
"r"ns cTorts tn secure the support OF
Turkey when the war began. and had
offered TO guarantee the territorial ana
political integrity nf the Porte If this
support was Forthcoming. Only th,.
failure To secure Turkish aid. he sai
had committed the entente powers to
the policy Of destroying the Turkish
power in Europe. Diplomatic Wash
ington recognized that the Turkish
question has come to be one Of the
principal points in the peace discussion.
The President looks for u definite
crystallization OF sentiment as to his
peace-leaGuc program in this country
He will study carefully all comment at
public gatherings throughout the coun-
try. and already has looked over the
mass OF kilograms and letters received
ut the whit" House indorsing the peace
plan. He expects discussion in Con-
gross TO take definite form within the
next week. and is confident that a clear
majority Of both the Senate and the
House indorse his peace program.
