Same Old Proposition.

Washington, Oct. THE newest
peace proposal of the German govern
ment as quoted in dispatches from
Amsterdam, differed from the propo-
sttion emanating from Vienna in tone
and wording but not in substance.
Both governments accept President
Wilson's principles, not as a basis OF
peace but simply as that of negotia-
tions. 0s@
In advance Of the arrival Of the
notes through the Swiss legation no
statement as to how the enemy pro-
posals were regarded by the United
States was to be expected. On their
face, however, the offers do not meet
the requirements laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson and the spokesman for
the Entente. governments. s
It is the opinion here Germany will
eventually make peace offering
worth considering. That the war may
not be prolonged unnecessarily no
proposals from the enemy are to be
rejected without examination: There
is, however, we'll defined test which
must be met BY any offer he; may
make. This Is Germany i. hrsts forr1a,4l
offer Of peace. It was noted thst It
was made to the president with a re-
quest that he invite Americas asso-
ctates In the war to- send plenipo-
tentiaries for the opening Of negotia-
tions Attention was also directed to
the fact that throughout the note the
term rThe German government" was
used with the .'Imperial" omitted.
This copy of the note. however, was
not the official one. ~
In the general discussion Of the
proposal two thoughts were voiced in
many quarters. One was that Ger

winter to- aid her battered army, and
the other that the German effort COM
ing at this time might have been in
tended to affect the Fourth Liberty
Loan. campaign by leading many peo-

of the war is near.
No one in Washington gave thought
to any proposal that the victorious
forces of the Allies and America
snould cease their steady push agains,
the retreating enemy while there are
discussions" Of peace terms. AS to
the effect on the Liberty Loan there
was a quietly confident air everywhere
that the American people would give
their answer to the enemy proposal
for any but peace on Allied terms by
an even greater oversubscription of
the loan. than otherwise might have
been expected.
