THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1916. "
PARIS AND LONDON
REPLY IS AGREED
Answer to German Peace Pro
posals Expected to Be
Dispatched Soon.
RUSSIAN NOTE IS SENT
Assembling of Conference as Sug---tcd
by Berlin on Receipt of
Hil-on's Communication May
Await Teuton Terms.
LONDO.V, Dec. 27. England and
France have fully agreed on the terms
of the reply to be made to the peace
proposals of the Teutonic allies, the
Associated Press learned at the For
eign Office today. It Is hoped here
that the answer may be dispatched
by the end of this week, but other
nations of the entente, although agreed
in principle, may require verbal alter
ations which would necessitate further
delay.
It is expected that once this reply
has been forwarded the response to
President Wilson's note will-follow
shortly.
Russia's reply to the German peace
proposals was telegraphed Monday to
the French government, says aReuter
dispatch from Petrograd. It adas that
the Swiss Minister has handed to the
Russian Foreign Minister the note of
the Swiss government supporting Pres
ident Wilson's note.
German Suggestions Wanted.
It is not believed in official circles
here that there -exists any possibility
of assembling a peace conference as
proposed in the German reply to Presi
dent Wilson's note, unless Germany is
willing to 'make suggestions in advance
regarding her ideas of the terms of
peace.
Communications continue to pass be
tween the capitals of the entente al
lied nations regarding the reply to be
made to the peace proposals of the cen
tral powers and their allies. The an
swer has been prepared in Paris and
is now the subject of discussion be
tween the various ministers.
It is understood here that the reply
does not give specific terms, but re
fers generally to the objects of the
allies.
Ainu Difficult to Frame.
Those participating in the discussion
apeak of the difficulty of expressing
the general purposes in concrete form
o that the reply may be definitely
responsive and at the same time con
vey to neutral countries an adequate
idea of the aims and purposes for
which the entente allies are contend
ing. The reason for not stating the spe
cific terms is said here to be that the
terms of the allies largely depend on
the extent of the military victory
which they confidently expect and
that any statement of terms now would
be on the existing military and terri
torial situation, which the German
Imperial Chancellor, Dr. von Beth-mann-Hollweg,
declared was based on
a German victory. Therefore, it is
held that Germany Is In "a position to
state her terms, whereas the entente
terms become definite when military
successes have been achieved.
FRANCE WANTS EXACT TERMS
Press Asks Why Berlin Replied So
Promptly to Wilson.
PARIS, Dec. 27. The newspapers
today comment freely on Germany's
reply to President Wilson's note con
cerning peace. All of them affirm that
it contains nothing not contained in
the first communication of Dr. von
Bethmann-Hollweg's, the German Im
perial Chancellor, except that it pro
poses a conference in some neutral
capital.
"Germany," says the Temps, "invites
her adversaries to a conference with
out matting to them any disclosure of
what she proposes to say until their
Relegates surround the green cloth."
The Temps then attacks in detail
what it terms the systematic men
dacity of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg
respecting the origin of tho war, and
alleges that ho changed the date of the
note of Count von Berchtold. the Aus
trian Foreign Minister, of which the
Chancellor spoke recently in the Reich
tag. The newspaper asserts that, while
Count von Bernstorft says one thing in
the United States, Dr. von Bethmann
Hollweg says another in Germany, and
expresses the hope that Washington
will now be able to measure the sin
cerity of the German government's
declaration.
"Germany desires peace, that is evi
dent," continues the Temps, "but it
will be a German peace which she will
tear from her adversaries by a ruse,
not having the power to conquer It by
force. That is the significance of the
maneuver, which outlines itself more
clearly every day."
La Libert remarks that Germany
received the American note December
22 and that -her reply had already left
Berlin the 36th.
"Never in the exchange of communi
cations with the Government at Wash
ington." says 1a Llberte. "has Wil
helmstrasHe shown such celerity. In
the period of the torpedoing of the
I.uaitania Germany allowed entire
months to pass without communicating
to Mr. Wilson explanations embarrass
ing and belated. . . . The German
note is silent on the essential point;
it evades that entirely. Our enemy
declines to unmask her batteries. The
trap is more evident than ever but the
allies will not be caught."
AIRMAN DROPS 14TH FOE
Frenchman Scores With Battle Plane
and Entente Loses Nine.
PARIS, Dec 27. "The night was
calm, except on the front between
Vaeherauville and Vaux (Verdun sec

SOCIALISTS ASK REDRESS
French Body Wants Allies to In-Nt
on Full Reparation.
PARIS, Dec. 27." The congress of
French Socialists today, by an almost
unanimoua vote, adopted a resolution
requesting allied governments to reply
to President Wilson's note concerning
peace by saying that they are ready
to tell him their conditions for peace,
which must include Just reparation for
the wrongs done by the central em
pires. The Socialists also declared
they were for such a peace as was de
fined by the International Socialist
Congress in London In February, 1915.
It was ecided by the- Socialists of
the entente allied countries at the Lon
don conference that "no hope for peace
can be entertained unM German mill,
tarism Is orushed."
Resolutions were passed urging that
Belgium be liberated and compensated,
that the question of Poland should be
settled in accordance with the wishes
of the Polish people, and that "from
Alsace-Lorraine to the Balkans those
populations that have been annexed by
force shall receive the right freely to
dispose of themselves."

BERNSTORFF HOLDS
REPLY IS DEFINITE
German Embassy Contends
Mr. Wilson Did Not Intend to
Draw Avowal of Terms.
PRESIDENT STILL HOPEFUL
Berlin Declared to Be Willing to
Discuss Territorial Questions
in Council With Belligerents
, and Then Call ln' eutrals.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. In spile of
the wide gulf between the insistence of
the central powers for an Immediate
peace conference and the forecast of a
unanimous refusal by the entente allies
to enter such a conference without
knowing Germany's terms in advance,
the American Government believes that
the negotiations In prdgress are result
ing in good. It was said with authority
tonight that until the door to peace
actually Is closed by one side or tha
other President Wilson will continue to
hope that any discussion of the subject
will tend to hasten the end of the war.
Count von Bernstorff. the German
Ambassador, returning unexpectedly to
night from New York, authorized the
Associated Press to make the following
statement:
"I regard the note of my government
as constituting an acceptance of every
thing suggested by President Wilson In
his note to tho belligerent nations of
Europe."
Withholding; of Terms Explained.
It was made clear at the Embassy
that Germany stands ready to make
known her terms on the first day of
any conference that may be held, and
officials expressed themselves as being
greatly surprised at the view prevailing
in some quarters here that the Berlin
government had failed to meet the
President' suggestion by not setting
down In the reply the terma upon which
it is willing to make peaco.
The German diplomats say President
Wilson had no intention of drawing a
public declaration concerning terms
from tho central powers. On the con
trary, they think the President's sug
gestion "that an early occasion be
sought to call out from all the nations
now at War such an avowal of their re
spective views as to terms upon which
the war might be concluded" had been
fully met by Germany In seeking an
Immediate conference with her enemies.
Territory Question Firat.
The German policy upon which the
reply to President Wilson's communi
cation Is based was outlined as follows:
Germany feels that the conference
suggested by It first should be com
posed of delegates from the belligerent
countries whose duty It would be to
settle territorial terms. Once these
terms are agreed upon representatives
of the neutrals should be called In to
participate in consideration of ques
tions of guarantees for the future, in
which neutrals are as vitally concerned
as belligerents. These guarantees. In
the German view, necessarily would
have to do with the freedom of the
seas, limited disarmament, formation
of a world league of nanons to enforce
peace and the establishment of an in
ternational court of arbitration.
Germany Is said to consider that neu
tral nations can have no interest in
terms relating to territory.
' Private Ward Mar Be Sent.
While there were no official advices
upon tho subject, the view still per
sisted in German quarters tonight that
the note of the central powers might
be followed by some highly confidential
oral or written communication to Pres
ident Wilson, in which at least broad
tentative terms might be atated. In
this connection officiate noted with in
terest Berlin press dispatches saying
that Ambassador Gerard, who as a re
sult of his recent visit to the United
States Is thoroughly familiar with the
views of President Wilson, had taken
lunch with Alfred Zimmerman, the Ger
man Foreign Minister, and probably
discussed the peace situation with him.
Just what the United States could do
towards bridging the gulf In cade the
allies hold to their opposition to a con
ference Is the subject of serious dis
cussion among officials, but as yet no
concrete proposal has been advanced.
That the allies will declare that there
must be a military solution to the war,
both in their note to the President and
in their reply to the central powers,
was the growing belief hero today, both
on the basis of statements at the al
lied embassies and from cabled press
comment. A London dispatch today,
following one from Petrograd yester
day, as well as intimations from both
Paris and Rome that tho allies could
not dlscuaa peace until they actually
held the territories they considered es
sential for their future, was taken to
indicate that the allies want to wait
for a substantial military victory and a
reversal of the present military situa
tion. AUTO CLUB CHANGE3 NAME

PETKOGRAD, via London. Dec. 27.
in the course of an order Issued to
all the units of the Russian army,
dated December 25, the Emperor, in a
brief review showing how the in
equalities in the technical resources
for warfare as between the allies and
tho central powers are being grad
ually removed, with the result that the
enemy strength is apparently waning,
while that of Russia and her allies is
constantly growing, proceeds to say:
"Germany Is feeling that her com
plete defeat Is near, and near also is
the hour of retribution for all her
wrong-doings and violations of the
moral law. As in the time of her
strength she dealared war. ao now.
feeling her weakness, she suddenly of
fers to enter upon peaqe negotiations,
desiring to complete such negotiations
before her military talent Is exhausted.
False Showing of Power Alleged.
"At the same time she is creating a
false Impression about the strength
of her army by utilizing her temporary
success over the Roumanians, who lack'
experience in the conduct of modern
warfare."
Arguing that the allies are entitled
to choose a favorable hour trr peace
negotiations, just as Germany chose a
favorable hour for declaring war, the
order says:
"The time has not yet arrived. The
enemy has not been driven out of the
provinces he has occupied. Russia's
attainment of the tasks created by the
war regarding Constantinople and
the Dardanelles, as well as the crea
tion of a free Poland from all three
of her now incomplete tribal districts
has not yet been guaranteed. To con
clude peace at this moment would
mean failure to utilise the fruits of
the untold trials of the heroic Russian
troops and fleet. The trials and the
still mote sacred memory of those
nobis sons of Russia who have fallen
on the battlefield do not permit of
thought of peace .until final victory
over our enemies.
Allies' Riant to Make Terma Expressed.
"Who dares to think that he who
brought about the war shall have It In
his power to conclude the war at any
time he ilkea?"
In conclualon, the Emperor, express
ing confidence that no Russian sol
dier would desire peaco until the enemy
had been expelled from Russian soil
and had given guarantena to prevent a
possible repetition of a treacherous at
tack, says;
"Let us be firm In the certainty of
our victory, and the all highest will
bless our standards and will cover them
afresh with glory and give us peace
worthy of your heroic deeds, my glo
rious troops a peace for which future
generations will bless your memory,
which will be sacred to them."
