A Monroe doctrine as the world

WASHINGTON, March ia new
German peace movement, dangerous,
and as hitherto, on German military
made terms, is apparently about TO
be foisted upon the world, diplo-
matte authorities believed today.
Rumors of it indicate that Germany
will suggest retention of the plunder
in the near east while she gives up
her anbitionse in the west.
It probably will get stonier hear
ing than any proposal to date, though
indications are that it will be SO
framed as to stir up the paclnsts,
relegated to the background by the
aroused allied fighting spirit here
and abroad.
AS usual, it will be timed to fol
low a German victory" and 1t VIII
nut forth victor's terms, according TO
indica tions.
If authorities here read the signs
Alright, it will make an appeal to that
group which believes Russia should
be left to her own fate. Lloyd-George
practically washed his hands or any
responsibility for Russia when she
first began toying with German
peace; and the Rome newspaper or
Baron SOnn1uO, iIdiletIi lol SiSi ''AAii'
ter saw in LloydGeorge's speech the
thought that Germany should pc
given free hand with Russia II cnly
she would make certain concessions
in the west.
The idea, however, will have scant
support, especially in the light or
President Wilson's pledge Of United
States aid to help free Russia OF the
Teuton yoke.
The especially dangerous element
in any peace drive at this time, how
ever, lies in the fact that the next
two or three months will find the
allies in common with the central
powers on shortened rations and be-
cause of this pacihst appeal may
have a greater response than other
wise. However, entente diplomats
saw allied determination is stlfer
than ever before and that the war
spirit is growing fast upon this coun-
try. The picture of plundered Rus
sia, of game but helpless Rumana,
of Armenia blood soaked and pledged
bv Germany to the Turk, or devas7
tated Belgium and France, are now
defeating peace, proposals.
