In this conneo tivn there is a report that the Foreiyn Ministers of the Central Powers Gre assembling in Berlin. Still another report is that Kaiser Wilhelm, Emperor Charles of Austria, King Ferdinand and the Sultan are to confer at Vienna, A cable from London carries a summary of the Allies’ reply to President Wilson which is furnished by Reuter’s agency. This de clares the Allies “twill indicate in more precise fashion the only pre- Uminarics upon which they are prepared to negotiate.” In Washington it is stated the Allics will reafirm previous state ments that they are fighting for restitution of conquered territory, reparation for wrongs done and guarantecs as to the future, WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—President Wilson will not let peace negotiations drop after he has received the reply of the Entente Allies, but will make at least one more move. This became known definitely to-day, although it was indicated that | No final decision on the nature of the next step had been reached. If another communication is sent it is expected to make more clear the position of the President, as it is felt that more or less confusion has arisen as to just what he intended. Col, E, House is here and is supposed to be working out with the President the next move to be made. LONDON, Jan. 4.—Persistent reports from Italy and Switzerland to-day that Germany is to make a reply to the allied refusal of peace terms—and in that reply will list its demands and concessions—aroused the greatest interest here to-day. Lugano, Switzerland, had reports of this nature. From Rome came news that the newspaper Corriere Delticino asserted its receipt of informa- tion that Germany was preparing a counter reply which would be “less ambiguous as to conditions of peace and permitt ing a first p tact in peace progress,” WARRING NATIONS OWE ‘oint of con- ® Considerable prc Jin London ni uinence is gtven s to reports of conferences to eb He don the traditional policy of separa- Berlin, The as 3 2 Fagg we ought to Know where we are | they will relate to policy rather than going. 1 think the people who are fe ose dcee; fighting the war ought to make their| !
