Note Encourages Washinaton.

Noto encourages Warrington.
Washington, Jan. 1S.-G Great Britain's
supplementary note amplifying the en-
tente reply to the presidents peace
note has given much encouragement to
American officials who are looking TO
some sort Of league Of nations to pro q
serve world peace after the war islovsF.
Altho the main portions in Foreign
Minister Balfour's note, delivered to
the state department yesterday, are
designed to Justify the severity Of
the terms as set forth by the entente
powers In their reply to the note of
President Wilson, the formal accept
ance in principle Of some sort Of inter-
national sanction as force behind ma.
tional treaties and internat tional law Is
regarded as Of great Importance.
It has been stated that President
Wilson's next step has not been deter
mined on. Many believe the terms Of
the British note may afford the opporS
tunity for a move towards the estab-
lshment OF some such international
sanction, even if 1t be with the view Of
having It come into force after the war
- ever.
