HUNS OUTLINE IMPOSSIBLE PEACE TERMS

double purpose of leading the German
people to believe their government real-
" Is desirous OF making peace and
gaining time for the further strengths
ening OF the German lines In the west.
Ono condition regarded impossible
for the present at least = that the ad-
herence OF al belligerents must be Sc
cured to the peace the Germans are
trying to make with Russia before 1t
has become effective. This Is accom-
panied by > demand for the return OF
the German colonies now in possession
OF Russia's allies.
It can be stated authoritatively that
the position Of the American govern
ment has not changed in any respect
with the regard to its determination to
enter into no agreement with gov
ernment which does not represent the
free will OF the governed people. This
will dispose Of any hope the Germans
might have that the Russians could In
duce America to subscribe to the peace
treaty which they are how trying to ar
range. AS to the German colonies the
American government has never re-
corded itself on the subject and Lloyd
George recently declared that was Q
subject for tina peace conference.
silsnt on Alsaes.Lorraine.
NO provision Is made in Count Ger
nin's terms for the return to France
OF Alsace Lorraine, which is regarded
here as condition that must be met
as preliminary to any peace agree
ment, an understanding declared by
President Wilson in his message to
congress. -
In the light OF the extraordinary eff
forts Germany has been making to RID
these provinces OF French Inhabitants
It Is believed here that Germany may
propose q plebiscite of Inhabitants. re-
lying on the vote Of German soldiers
and the imported German population,
but such proposal probably would be
rejected by the United States and her
CO. o-belligerents.
Apparently Belgium Is promised free
dom by Count Czernin II all the other
German demands are met, but officials
note there Is reservation almost In
separable from German diplomacy IN
the shape Of guarantees, which Ger
many requires to insure the execution
Of all these complicated factors OF the
peace treaty. From public declarations
OF German statesmen and publicists 1t
Is understood that as guarantees,
Germany wo6ld insist on retaining con-
troll Of Belgium for an Indefinite per-
lod.
Aimed at Polish States.
The German insistence that the
pledge to restore the political inde-
pendence of countries occupied by the
central powers shall not apply to ma
tionalities whiah did not previously en-
JOY Independence - aimed directly at
the projected Polish states. Even with
such state created AZ result Of the
peace treaty, It would have to be on
the line or the subject Kingdom which
Germany and Austria already has cree
'ated. g5s

cials that the central powers have pre-
pared to make every effort to gain con-
troll Of Russian trade S.nd markets,
which are threatening to pass to Amer
lea in return for Americas substantial
assistance In the war.

On the credit side of the account is
the rising tide of indignation against
Germany in Scandinavia and Spaind
The anti-German faction in Sweden
has been powerfully reinforced by the
action of the Germans in sinking
three Swedish grain ships. in viola~
tion of their own agreement to re$
spect the safety OF the vessels. SPAIN
is still awaiting a reply to her pro%
test over the sinking of the Spanish
steamer Patricio, also destroyed while
sailing under a German guarantees
and the tone of the Spanish press is
increasingly peremptory in its demand
that Germany be compelled to respect
Spanish rights.
What effect the course of events is
having on the German people remains
practically a sealed book. The Gers
man censorship has reached a point
of unparalleled efficiency and the lit-
tie news that triclSles across the irons
tier of the Central Empires offer
scant basis for even speculation. Ap-
parently the war of the Pan Germans
