 SPEECH DEFENSE AGAINST |NIRIGUES
Washington Says Entente First Wanted President to
 Make Declaration.
(By AsSociate ted Press. ]

Washington, Jan 5.--Prernier Lloyd Georges address to the British trades union today on Great Britan's war aims created profound impression in official circles. Comment, however, was withheld until officials could give it further study. That the address was not unexpected was plain.
 The growing anxiety exhibited by the entente chancellories since the beginning of the Brest- -Litovsk peace conferences and the openly expressed belief that some steps must be taken to counteract in insidiOus attempts of the German delegates to misrepresent aims of their enemies had convinced Washington officials that there soon must come clear, outspOken ceclara- tiOn of the real position of the powers fighting Germany. Some exchanges between the United States and her CO belligcrents recently have pointed to a desire that President Wilson again should speak in regard to the war aims The state department felt how ever. that as the president twice had outlined in the most formal and pub lie manner his beliefs, Americas posi- ton had been efficiently disclosed. While it was intimated that Washing ton had not been advised in a advance of what the British premier had to say. That the aims he outlined had not led to any differences between the powers seemed assured, not only by the exchanges between the entente powers and Washington, but also the harmonious proceedings of the inter- allied war council in Paris, at which all subjects treated by Premier Lloyd-George today were considered.

Peace Situation Still Clouded.


 beclouds the status of the RussoGer- man peace negotiations Both sides have declared that certain proposals of the other side did not meet with their approval. Russia has said that the German terms concerning occu- pied territories could not be accepted and German Chancellor von Hertling announces that the Germans can not move the conference to Stockholm, as Russia has suggested.
 The Russian position, coupled with reports that the delegates of the Cen tral Powers and even of Germany, were divided as to the question of an- neXations, appears the stronger one, but there is no indication that Ger many will recede. although it has been rumored that the leading German and Austrian emisSaries had returned to Brest-Litovsk with new instructions.
 The speeches before the reichstag main committee of Chancellor vOn Hertling and the under secretary of the German foreign office, did not make clear whether Germany would stand unalterably on the conditions to which Russia objects.
 Germans Attempt to "Fix" Assembly.
 London, Jan. 5.-Pending the re- sumption of conferences at Brest- Litovsk today, no fresh developments are reported from Russia regarding the peace negotiations. Special dis patches from Petrograd report at- tempts by the German delegates at Petrograd to make some sort of a clandestine agreement with the mem- bers of the constituent assembly. The correspondent of the Daily News says that the Germans are try ing through a neutral diplomat to get the assembly, Their object is obvious he adds, as the parties opposed to the Bolsheviki are quite ready to profit by the Bolsheviki refusal to make peace and to tell the people that the Bolshe- wiki promised the mpeace but gave them war.
 The version of the correspondent oi the Daily Mail is that the Germans have been putting pressure, direct ol 1 indirect, upon the government in con nection with the summOning of con stituent assembly as the Germans have been making it pretty obvious that they are unwilling to recognize the Bolsheviki as representatives of 2 majority of the Russian people, ol even as temporary trustees of tht sovereign power. The Daily News dis patch expresses fear that Germany will find the constituent assembl! more amenable than the Bolsheviki fl regard to making peace, and quote!
