The Effect in England. London, Dec. 13.-lSpecinl)-A strong current of public sentiment op posed to Germany's peace proposa is evident in the expressions of public men and the press, although there was no word from high authoritative sources indicating the governments attitude. The proposal did not create profound impressions and was scarce ly discussed in hotels or other public places, and government circles held aloof from discussing it. The foreign office would make no comment, but indicated the British attitude is cm bodied in the declarations from time ... .:.., i.v fni-mpr Premier Asouitii III Ulliv .v ... and Viscount Grey, and that any new proposals would have to be considered l.v nil entente allies before a definite attitude is possible. Those close to the government said the proposal would prove entirely un acceptable, mainly because they were not likelv to touch what the authori ties regard as guarantees against German militarism that will permit England and franco and their allies i ,i.,n,n).nli(. (heir vast armies, re duce the enormous military expenses and return to lasting peace condi tions. The Marquis of Londonderry said: Vi.ive p-ot to win this war. Peace 1 be disastrous. It is only a question of time and we will win out absolutely. Sir Gilbert Parker, after talking with colleagues in the house of com mons, said: "It is clearly a political maneuver to impress the world as a dramatic stroke, but having little n.n.A tnu-nrrf securinsr enduring 1 peace. The chief essential of peace is the curbing ot licrman militarism i resumption of the present conflict will be imr ssible."

A proposition to this effect has just "oen prepared by the General Council of the Department of the Meuse and and will soon be submitted to the French government. The plan is to buy the battle-ground from the far mers. Should this plan be finally ac cepted future generations not only of France but of the entire world, would always have the opportunity of visiting the line of trenches over fiOO kilometers in length on which the French threw back the tide of Gcr- man invasion at the battle of the , Marne and which till the end of the ' war will always remain the basis of , i France's military effort to rid her j ! . soil entirely of the enemy. The immediate land through which these long lines of trences run, to gether with the battlefields of the Somme, of Artois and of Champagne will, it is believed, never again be rendered cultivable. Aside from the deep trenches and bayous, the ground has been so pitted with shell holes to a depth varying from a few to fifteen feet, and all the upper stratagem soil on which fertility depends so com pletely wiped out, that little if any use could ever be made of the ground for agricultural purposes for years to come.
