Amsterdam, Jan. l5.-(Via Lon

graph letter from the German en-
peror to Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollwcg, dated October 81, 1915:
My Dear Bethmann: have been
turning over our conversation thor
oughly i'll my mind. 1t is clear that
the people in the enemy countries
who are kept in hard endurance Of
the war by lies and frauds and de-
luded by fighting and hatred, possess
no men who are able or who have the
moral courage to speak the word
which will bring rclief-to propose
peace. What is wanted is a moral
deed to free the world, including ncu-
trails, from the pressure which weighs
upon all. For such deed it is neces-
sary to find a ruler who has con-
science, who feels that he is RESPONSE
bic to God, who has a heart for his
own people and for those who are
his enemies, who is indifferent to any
possible willful mistinterpretation Of
his act and possesses the will to free
the world from its sufferings.
Il have the courage. Trusting in
God, | shall dare to take this step.
Please draft notes on these lines and
submit them to me and make all nee
essary arrangements without delay"

GERMANY WILL
NOT STATE ITS
TERMS OF PEACE
Foreign Minister Zimmerman
Says Allies Reply Makes
Impossible Any Further
Move by Kaiser.
NO DIRECT ANNOUNCEMENT
Such Action by Central Powers
Would Be Taken as Sign
of Weakness.
YEAR MAY TEACH LESSON

Berlin, Sunday, Jan. l4.-Wireless
to The Associated Press, Via Say
ville.)-Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, the
German foreign minister, informed
the Associated Press today that, in
his opinion, the entente reply to
President Wilson's peace note bars
the possibility for the present of fur
ther German steps to bring about
peace. In particular, he said, it pre-
cluded any direct announcement by
Germany of its peace conditions, in
answer to the terms set forth in the
latest entente note.
DR.. Zimmerman asserted, however,
that the answer of the entente to the
president did not finally and COM
pletely close the door to later. efforts
for peace, before one side or the other
was completely crushed.
Can't Say More.
The foreign minister in the course
of a conversation with the Associated
Press correspondent last night de-
clared though with obvious reluctance
that it was impossible for him to give
a more definite statement of the peace
program of the central powers than
that indicated i'll the declaration of
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the
chancellor, because the German terms
were such that the unsolicited pro-
mitigation of them in their moderate
details, after what he characterized
as the aspiring program of conquest
and dismemberment outlined by the
entente would be interpreted by the
entente powers as sign Of weakness
and of desire for peace at any cost:
Publication Of the peace terms OF
the central powers therefore would
defeat its every purpose said DR..
Zimmerman.
Closes Door on Peace.
The foreign minister expressed
doubt whether after what he described
the rebuff to President Wilson's peace
efforts given in the reply of the en-
tente, the president could take any
further action fer the present, adding
that the entente answer excluded tor
the present any possibility Of peace.
Expressing a profound conviction
that the program of the entente pow
crs> never could be carried into effect.
DR.. Zimmerman instimated that a
failure of the entente's offensive this
year which he expected might again
make it possible to approach the sub
iect of peace on reasonable terms and
with some prospect of success.
