Peace Proposals.
READY FOR SACRIFICE
Allies Determined Central Powers
Must Accept Terms or Fight to
Finish-conference of Premiers
Expected Soon.

Paris, Jan. S.-An early con-
ference OF Allied premiers is
semi-officially reported as likely
to be called soon.
Presumably such a conference
will decide the exact outline of
joint re-statement of Allied
war aims.
Washington, Jan. S.-America will
push her work without a thought
peace may be drawing nearer.
Secretary of War Baker and other
officials hold there must be no let
ting down in preparations. Peace,
they say, now is up to Germany.
Lloyd George has stated Allied terms
and insofar as unofficial expressions
here go these are Americas terms,
too.
FooIhardy to Slow Up Now.
IL Germany wants to reform het-
self and accept those terms the way
is open, but If she wants to fight on
the Allies and America are fully
aware OF and ready for the bloody
sacrifice involved, all officials agree.
They added it would be little short
of reasonable and foolhardy for this
nation to slow up now, merely be,
cause OF growing convictions Allies
and Teutons are getting more near.
ly together through a process of un.
official statement of peace aims.
Shift Into Diplomatic Field.
True, authorities here, including
men high in the military councils
do believe peace is coming more
rapidly than is the general belief
But il they had their way wholly
there would not even be a state
ment of war aims. Instead there
would be a policy of blood and iron
which would ultimately make the
German lines crumble and the kais.
er beg for peace.
Some military men, however, are
inclined to feel that already the war
is shifting into the diplomatic field
that by the mere fact of a statement
of terms from both sides a desire
for peace is manifest which sow
the seed for actual negotiations.
Sees Long War or Quick Peace.
Not that they think Germany If
going to accept Lloyd Georges
terms right away, but they believe
Germany now knows she cannot
win, and is willing, therefore to &c
far to get an adjustment.
A neutral diplomat sized up the
situation as a case of peace In
three or four months, or war for three
'or four years. That may be said tc
be more or less prevalent opinion
here, though those who venture into
prophecy vary in their maximum and
minimum figures considerably.

US. DRAFT LAW UPHELD
Found Constitutional BY Coun-
try'S Highest Court.
setectiVe Service Act objectors' Cases
Declared Absolutely Devoid of
Merit"-Four Frone minnesota.

Washington, Jan. s.-The Selective
Service act has been upheld as con-
stitutional by the supreme court.
The governments contention that
power given Congress to declare war
includes power to compel citizens to
lender military service both at home
and abroad, was sustained.
Arguments Lack Merit.
Chief Justice While, who delivered
the unanimous opinion in a brief
statement, declared that after con-
sidering the various contentious the
conclusion had been reached that
most of them were imaginary rather
than real.
Chief Justice White, in handing
down the decision on the nine cases
against the draft law that reached
the supreme court, said the argu-
ments of all the objectors were "ab.
solutely devoid OF merit"
Thirteen Appeals Decided.
"Our mind is unable to conceive
that raising armies by draft Is slavery
and violates the Thirteenth amend.
ment," Chief Justice White said.
The decision resulted from the spe-
cial appeals of 13 cases growing out
pf convictions under the selective
service act, four coming from Min
nesota, five from New York, three
from Ohio and one from Georgia.
Constitutionality of the act was made
the basis for all OF the appeals.
