Our aims are not to shatter nor annihilate our adversarie: In spite of our con- sciousness of our mi)itary and economic strength and our readi- ness to continue the war (which has been forced upon us) until | the bitter end, if necessary; at the same time prompted by the desire to avoid further bloodshed and make an end to the atrocities of war, the four allied powers propose to enter forth- with into peace negotiations. “The propositions which they bring forward for such ne- gotiations and which have for their object a guarantee of ex- istence, of the honor and liberty of evolution for their nations, are, according to their firm belief, an appropriate basis for the establishment of a lasting peace.

Owue prominent official expressed himself to the As- sociated Press today as being very skeptical thet the proposed terms would offer ‘ven a basis for negotia- tion. ~ Note Dramatic Coup. This official said, howeyer, that the note was a dramatic coup which would create interesting develop- ments in the diplomtic’ situation and provide the first official peace over- tures of the war. The offer finds the foreign office upset in the midst of a change of ad- ministration, but as the new foreign secretary, A. J. Balfour, has kept most closely in touch with foreign affairs while s2rving in a different d~ partmeat in the late government, it is not expected that it will take long for him to be as well prepared as Vis- count Grey, the retiring foreign sec- retary, to take charge of Great Britain's end of any negotiations which might follow.

VON_FALKENHAY N/ FARMERS SEEK-INF0 | “According to instructions received, I have the honor to send to your emi- nence a copy of the declaration which, by the good offices of the powers en- trusted with the protection of German interests in the conntries with which the German empire is in a state of war, has been transmitted to these states and in which the imperial gov- ernment declares itself ready to en- ter into peace negotiations. The Ans- tro-Hungarian, Turkish and Bulgarian governments also have “sent similar notes.” Reasons Are Manifest. “The reasons which prompted Ger- many and her allies to take this step are manifest. For two years and a half a terrible war has been devos- tating the continent. Unlimited treas- ures of civilization have been de- stroyed. Extensive acres have been soaked with blood. Millions of brave soldiers have fallen in battle and mil- lions have returned home as invalids. Grief and sorrow fill almost every house, “Not only upon the belligeremt na- tions but also upon neutrals the de- structive consequences of the gigantic struggle weigh heavily, Trade and commerce, carefully built up in years of peace, have been depressed. The best forces of the nations have been to defend justice and the liberty of national evolution. The pose. rights and justified claims in no way control the rights of these nations. “The spiritual and material progress which were the pride ened with ruin. Germany and its allies, Austria-Hungary, Bul- garia and Turkey, gave proof of their unconquerable strength in this struggle. They gained gigantic advantages over adver- saries superior in number and war material. Our lines stand unshaken against attempts made by armies. “The last attack in the Balkans has been rapidly and vic- toriously overcome. The most recent events have demons- trated that further continuance of war will not result in break- ing the resistance of our forces and the whole situation with regard to our troops justifies our expectation of further suc- cesses.” BARBER AND OTHERS BUY WILD HORSES Tonsorial Artist Says it Would | Peace Terms Would Restore Status Quo Washington, Dec. 12—Advices from Berlin to the German em- bassy indicate that Germany's peace terms in general measure “The four allied powers have been obliged to take up arms glorious deeds of our armies have in no way altered our pur- We always maintained the firm belief as to our own of Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century are threat- ~ VON BETHMAN-HOLLWEG. 0. §.

In fact, they put a number of vital questions up to Mr. Parrish, who, although he had made a comprehensive study of the bill and all its provisions, could not answer for what the board would do in all of these hypothetical cases. He told them many of these things would be discretionary with the local board of each bank. Prof. H.
