London, Jan. 1.-The arrival of 1917
was welcomed on the western front by
the British and French soldiers as a
beginning Of the end of the great
world war. There were varying views
and theories as to how the end is to
be brought about, but there is no
question that throughout the British
army there is conviction that the next
twelve months will bring victory to
the allies. .t
Opinion Divided.
Opinion among the British and
French fighters as to how the war
was to end, was divided into two
schools. One believes Germany will be
willing to grant extreme concessions,
and the other that only military
pressure will bring them the fruit of
victory. Both agreed, however, that
it is to be decided this year.
On most sectors of the British
front the new year made it's bow with
little ceremony So many flares and
rockets are sent up from trenches on
these long dark winter nights that it
was impossible to say how many Of
these tonight were in honor Of 1917.
There was one. section, however,
where the British artillery followed
the practice adopted last year of well
coming Jan. with salvos against
their enemies from guns Of all cali

from machine guns to the biggest and

Washington, Jan. Life or death
of the present peace move tests en-
.tirely in the hands Of Germany. This
is known today to be positively the
belief Of Washington officials.
Some officials think that the Enten-
te Allies in their, reply to the Ger
man suggestions left loophole for
peace negotiations, but other officials
think peace is today further away

peace agitation.
Must Show Hand.
The administration maintained the
precedent it has established, and re-
fused to discuss peace. 1t is positive
ly known that this government must
declare herself, II she is to keep alive
peace negotiation. 1t is held possible,
however, that this government may
take gigantic steps in the promotion
of peace, the cause of the conviction
that il peace does not come Germany
and the United States will be drawn
to the verge Of severance of diplo-
matte relations.
SO long as peace is actually alive,
the president will not withdraw his
influence. He still hopes that the al
lied reply to the United States note,
not yet forthcoming, may give bet
ter chance for reopening OF negotia-
tiOns.
The Entente reply to Germany has

Not Cabed Vet.
Secretary Lansing formally an
nounced that the Entente reply had
not been cabled to Germany. He un-
derstood the note will go as soon as
errors in cable transmission are cor
rected. President Wilson received
New Years greetings from many rul-
ers Of the world and it is considered
a certainty that the war will go an
other year. i.
The Central Powers hold out slight
hopes of conference and say terms
may be given Wilson confdentially.
