WAR TO END WHEN Object
is ATTAlNED--LLOYD GEORGE
Premier Says Allies. Will Not Enter
Farley Without knowledge Of
Gcrmany's Terms.

London, Dec. 20.-England and the
Allies do not propose to enter into
peace negotiations without KNOWLEDGE
OF Germany's proposals. This was the
decision announced in the house of
commons by Premier Lloyd George.
Lloyd George quoted the words of
Abraham Lincoln "The war will end
when its object has been attained un-
der God; it will never end until We
achieve the object"
1.-THE Imperial German Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg did not use a
single phrase indicating he was pre-
pared to accept the only terms upon
which peace is possible" Lloyd George
declared.
1--WE do not propose to put our heads
Into a moose, with the ropes end in
Germany's hands," the premier add
ed. He also said that without repara-
ton peace would be impossible. and
that no proposals for peace had been
made.

BRITISH SURPRISED At NOTE
WILSON'S NOTE NOT RECEIVED
WITH RESENTMENT,
Officials Wholly Unprepared for Move
So Close Upon Heels of German
Peace Offer.

London, Dec. 23.-Startled surprise
was the first feeling in Great Britain
aroused by President Wilson's note.
The government was surprised and
frankly admitted it. Members of par
lament and the newspaper offices were
equally surprised. Undoubtedly the
public will be surprised when they
read Ambassador Pages statement to
the foreign Office in the morning pa
pers.
Did Not Expect Peace Move.
All information from America in the
last few days, both in dispatches from
the usually best Informed WASHINGTON
correspondents and in advices to the
banking and business firms, has been
to the effect that the President had
no intention of taking any steps to-
ward peace or of making any move in
European affairs. The tenor Of news
paper comments will be that Premier
Lloyd Georges speech and the speech
es OF the Russian, French and Italian
statesmen have affirmed the Allies
position and unless the German gov
eminent gives notice of the nature of
the proposals which it would bring to
conference the Allies cannot accept
the invitation to sit around a European
council table for a discussion Of it's
terms.
British Officials Silent.
In government circles official ST.
lence is observed regarding the note.
While it cannot be said that the note
was received with anything resembling
resentment, the Associated Press is en-
abled to say that it's sudden and unex-
pected receipt puzzled officialdom,
which was unprepared for it 80 close
upon the heels Of the German peace
proposals. It is, therefore, believed
the note will not interfere with the
plans of the Allies for sending a point
reply to the German proposals, which
probably will be done before Christ
mas.

London, Dec. 21:-In presenting the

of Lords, Earl Curzon, who is a men,
Der of the new war council, said:

crimes, and security given that those
crimes will not be repeated and that
the sacrifices made shall not have been
in vain.

Washington, Dec. %. - Immediately
after the holidays advocates of pro-

SENDS FORMAL NOTES TO WAR;
RING NATIONS WITHOUT PRO-
POSING PEACE OR OFFER
ING MEDIATION.
BELIEVES ENTIRE WORLD
WILL UNDERSTAND MOTIVE
Latest Development in Rapidly Nov.
ing Events Toward Discussion of
Peace Comes as Great Surprise
to Officials at Washington
Want Soundings.

washington, Dec. ~. - PRESIDENT
Wilson has appealed to all the bellig-
erents to discuss terms of peace.
Without actually proposing peace or
offering mediation, the President has
sent formal notes to the governments
of all the warning nations suggestions
that IAN early occasion be sought to
call out from the nations now at war
such an avowal of their respective
views as to the terms upon which the
war might be concluded and the ar
rangements which will be deemed sat-
1sfactory as guaranty against it's re-
newal or the kindling of any similar
conflict in the future, as would make
1t possible frankly to compare them
Notes to All RelIlgerents.
Wholly without notice and entirely
contrary to what administration off,
Gals have described as his course, the
President has dispatched the notes to
all the belligerents and to the neutrals
Tor their information. Summarized in
the Presidents own words, as contain
ed In the notes, his attitude is as fol-
lows:
"The President is not proposing
peace, he Is not even offering media
tion. He is merely proposing that
soundfngs be taken in order that we
may learn, the neutral nations with
the belligerents, how near the haven
of peace may be for which all mankind
aongs with an intense and increasing
longing. He believes that the spirit
fn which he speaks and the objects
which he seeks will be understood by
all concerned and he confidently hopes
for response which will bring a new
light into the affairs of the world"
Note 10 Surprise to Officials.
This latest development in the rapid
ly moving world events toward a dis
cusslon of peace was not permitted to
become known until after the notes
were we'll on their way to the Ameri-
can ambassadors in the belligerent
capitals and probably already in the
hands Of some of them.
1t was most distinct surprise to all
official Washington, which had been
led to believe that with the formal
transmittal of the proposals of the
Central Powers the officers of ths
United States would await further
moves between the belligerents them
selves, and that certainly in view of the
speech of Premier Lloyd George, and
the announcements in Russia, France
and Italy, further action by neutrals
would depend upon the next careful
and delicate moves of the belligerents.
