NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 1, ENTENTE SPURNS | TEUTON PROPOSAL Peace Plan of Central Empires Swept Aside in Scathing Note Paris, an. 1.—The following is the official text of the note sent by the Allies to the Central Empires reject- ing the peace proposals of the latter: “The allied governments of Bel- gium, France, Great Britain, Italy, | Japan, Montenegro, Portugal, Ru- mania, Russia and Serbia, united for | the defence of the liberty of their peoples and faithful to engagements | taken not to lay down their arms | separately, have resolved to reply col- | lectively to the pretended propositions of peace which were addressed to them on behalf of the enemy gov- ernments through the intermediary of the United States, Spain, Switzer- land and Holland. “Before making any reply the allied.; desire particularly to protest the two essential assertions of the note of the enemy powers that pretend to throw upon the Allies re- sponsibility for the war and proclaim the victory of the Central Powers. “The allied governments cannot ad- mit an affirmation doubly -inexact and which suffices to render sterile all tentative negotiations. “The allied nations have sustained for thirty months a war they adid everything to avoid. They have shown by their acts their attachment to peace. That attachment is as strong today as it was in 1914. But it is not upon the word of Germany, after the violatipn of its engagements, that the peace ‘broken by her may be based. ‘ “A mefe’ suggestion, without a statement of terms, that negotiations should be opened. is not an offer of peace. The putting forward by the Imperial government of a sham pro- posal lacking all substance and pre- cision would appear to be less an of- fer of peace than a war manoeuvre. It is founded on calculated misin- terpretation of the character of the struggle in the past, the present and the future. ‘“As for the past, the German note takes no account of the facts, dates and figures which establish that the war was desired, 'provoked and de- clared by Germany and Austria-Hun- gary. ‘At the Hague conference it was a German delegate who refused all proposals for disarmament. In July, 1914, it was Austria-Hungary, who, after having addressed to Serbia an unprecedented ultimatum, declared war upon her in spite of the satis- faction which had at once been ac- corded. “The Central empires then rejected all attempts made by the Entente to bring about a pacific solution of a purely loca! conflict. Great Britain suggested a conferencde; France pro- posed an international commission; the Emperor of Russia asked the German emperor to go to arbitration, and Russia and Austrla-Hungary came to an understanding on the eve of the conflict. But to all these efforts Germany gave neither answer nor ef- fect. “Belgium was invaded by an empire which had guaranteed her neutrality and which had the assurance to pro- claim that treaties were scraps of paper,’ and that ‘necessity knows no law.’ . “At the prcesent moment these sham offers on the part of Germany rest on the war map of Europe alone, which represents nothing more than a su- perficial and passing phase of the sit- lation and not the real strength of the belligerents. A peace concluded upon ‘these terms would be only to the advantage of the aggressors, who, after imagining that they would reach their goal in two months, discovered after two years that they could never attain it. “As for the future, the disasters causcd by the German declaration of war and the innumerable outrages | committed by Germany and her al- lies against both belligerents and neu- trals, demand penalties, reparation and guarantees. Germany avoids mention of any of these. “In reality these overtures made by the Central Powers are nothing more than a ca'culated attempt to influence the future course of the war and to end it by imposing a German peace. The object of these overtures is to create dissension in public opinion in the allied countries. But that public opinion in the allicd countries. But | that public opinion has, in spite of all the sacrifices endured by the Allies, already given its answer with ad- mirable firmness and has denounced the empty pretence of the declaration of the enemy powers. “They have the further object AFTER THE GRIPPE Vinol Restored Mr. Martin’s Strength.

In vir- tue of the international treaties signed by five great European Powers, of whom Germany was one, Belgium en- joyed before the war a special status, rendering her territory inviolable and plasing her, under the guarantee of the powers, outside all European con- She was, however, in spite of these treaties, the first to suffer the ression of Germany. Tor this reason the Belgian government thinks it necessary to define the aims which Belgium has never ceased to pursue while fighting side by side with the Entente Powers for right and justice. “Belglum has always scrupulously fulfilled the duties which her neu- trality imposed upon her. She has taken up arms to defend her inde- pendence and her neutrality violated by Germany and to show that she remains faithful to her international obligations. “On the fourth of August, 1914, in the Reichstag, the German chancel- lor admitted that this aggression con- stituted an injustice contrary to the laws of nations and pledged himself in the name of Germany to repair it. During two and a half years this in- justice has been cruelly aggravated by the proceedings of the occupying forces, which have exhausted the re- sources of the country, ruined its in- dustries, devastated its towns and RENIER, PICKHARDT & DUNN 127 MAIN STREET.
