eERMANYs OFFER TO BELGIUM
Must Give Up Everything and Receive
Slavery in Return.

London.-Germany has made
definite peace offer TO Belgium, ac-
cording to information received here.
The terms of this proposal are as fol
lows:

"That thereafter the entire economic
and political independence of Belgium
shall be reconstructed.
'sThat the pre-war commercial treat
les between Germany and Belgium
shall again be put into operation after
the war for an indefinite period.
'That Belgium shall use her good Of
fees to secure the return of the Ger
man colonies.

Pacifying a Pacifist.

During a recent patriotic parade a
marine who was helping keep the
crowd back heard an old man at his
side granting and mumbling, and he
finally asked him what was the matter.
The old man said, Them out there, "
as he pointed to the passing soldier
boys.
"Why, don't you wish you were one
of them?" the marine asked.
NO" the old man said. Il belong
to the army of peace, the army of
heaven"
Yes, my man, but aren't you a
good way from your barracks?'
stopped the old mans grumbling and
started the crowd laughing.

AMERICANS REJECT
HUN PEACE FEELER
U. S. TERMS FOR PEACE ALREADY
GIVEN OUT, DECLARES
SECRETARY LANSING.
Governments Position Restated in
Plain Words When Suggestion of
Austro- Hungarian Govern
ment Reaches Capital.

Washington.-The United States, as
was fully expected, has unconditional
ly rejected Germanys peace feeer In
doing so, the government has spoken
for all the co-belligerents.
Almost Immediately after receiving
the Austrian governments note from
the minister from Sweden, Mr.. Ecken-
gren, Secretary Lansing issued this
formal statement:
Il am authorized by the president
TO state that the following will be the
reply of this government to the
Austro-Hungarian note proposing an
unofficial conference of belligerents.
"The government of the United
States feels that there is only one reply
which it can make to the suggestion of
the imperial Austro- Hungarian govern
ment. 1t has repeatedly and with en-
tire candor stated the terms upon
which the United States would con-
slider peace, and can and will enter
tain no proposal for conference upon
a matter concerning which ii has made
Its position and purpose so plain"
Mr.. Lansing's statement was given
out within half an hour after he had
received the Austrian proposal. 1t
would have been forthcoming almost
Immediately upon the delivery of the
Austrian note, had it not been found
necessary, in order to avoid the posi-
bility of grave error, to make a care
full comparison between the official
text and that which was received in
news dispatches from Amsterdam.
Thus, emphasis was added to the
declination, if any were needed, the
Quickness of the reply indicating the
existence of no shadow of doubt In
the minds of the administration as to
what it should be.
There is some reason to believe that
the secretary acted with this unprece
denied promptness in matter of such
great import with the design not only
to indicate clearly the position of the
United States government, but perhaps
to anticipate and prevent as far as
possible newspaper discussions of the
Austrian proposition, which might con-
vey to the enemy a misleading impress
sion that there was any considerable
element in the United States willing
to consider a negotiated peace, such as
the non-binding" discussions pro-
posed by Austria might develop.
