GEORGES PEACE TERMS.
German Liberals Give Hopc Of Re.
construction Desired by the Allies

Washington, Ian S.--Presiminar.;
reports indicated today that Ger
many is indisposcd 10 accept Lloya
Georges peace terms as Il basis fo-
peace negotiations.
However, other adviccs showed
that Germany's liberals are begin
ming to assert themselves more
strongly than ever before Hence
this gave some hope that the intern
al reconstruction desired by the ~
lies and the United States as q pea =
basis will eventually get under way.
The Liberals opposition to Ger
many's annexation plans for Russl'.
was considered as perhaps the most
hopeful sign the Teuton mind mas
shown. While some here suggested
that ii Germany were to get the slice
Of Russia she wishes, peace could be
obtained, the general feeling was thai
such peace would only lead .
trouble later. Protection against fu.
ture wars IS one OF the main things
the allies want. however, in any peace
agreement now reached.
Some authorities say that, With
England's feet intact and Suard.ra
ports all over the world, England
vii! shut Germany of from future
world trade, while with Germany:
mi!itarism existent, she will constant
w be menace 70 the peace of Gu'
rome. Until these two nations ART
willing to make concessions in these
respect peace will be difficult, the e*
perts say, inasmuch as dollars an
cents are at the basis Of every wal
ever fought.

an Inclination TO believe that -

/! against Lloyd Georges speech We.
