official text of tho Teuton pimco proposal,
which Incidentally was nlmost Identical
with the text carried In press dlspntche,
Kecretary I.annlnc. at tho I'reatdent'a order,
dispatched it to Iindon, I'arls. Petrograd,
Toklo and to the proi lslon.il capitals of
Ilumanla, .Serbia and IiclRlum.

In IlelRlum. Itussta, Great Ilrttaln, France,
Japan Serbia nnd Ilumanla. She rcpre
nenta Austria-Hungary In the same coun
tries She representn Turkey In Clreat
Tlritnln, France nnd Japan.
Tho Oerman communication to her
enemies was rent without any suggestions
or comment by thn 1'resldent.
This. action completely fulfilled the re
quest tho Central Umpires made of the
United States.
The State Department aald officially that
tho Allies would understand that this (lot
crnment la ready to transmit nny answer
to ficrtminy without necessity of making
any definito offer to do so.
In his study of what action. If any. he
may tako toward adding the weight of this
Ooiernmenfa Influence In the matter of
furthcrlnc the Teutonic suggestion that
peace be discussed, the Ircldent received
from Charge drew, of tho American Km
hussy nt Berlin, confidential advices tend
ing to explain Germany's action nnd the
spirit which prompted It.
It ma stated on highest authority that
tho President's mind Is still entirely open.
He still la undetermined. He will reach no
decision until he has confidential adiicei
from American reprcsentutiies nt the
Entente Allien' capitals
Ono point, howoier, boenme clear today
Th'n Is that however nreful the President
and his advisers are that no mo be made
that might bo recoiled unfaiorably by the
Allied governments, the President "it not
golne to overlook the slightest point" on
'which he might hinge nn openlnr wedge
for hla avowed belief that peace, when it
does come, must be permanent nnd must be
made permanent by eome organization as a.
world league to enforce peace.
It ha been auggested to him that perhaps
a statement, concise, clear and full, deliv
ered to the American people nnd to the
world, might be the entering wedge to be

While Secretary lnolng had no engage
ment vilth President Wilson this forenoon.
It waa assumed he would seek tho oppor
tunity of conferring with his chief before
tomorrow afternoon's Cabinet session.
Oennan Ambassador von Dernstorff will
nrobablv have an Interview with Lansing
within the next few daya to discuss tho mat
ter Informally.
It wna learned today, from sources of
authority, that President Wilson's greatest
problem In tho German note la to Indi
cate, beyond question, America's desire
"not to intermeddle," while at the aaine
time to perform the humanitarian part of
eliciting from both aides some official data
ns to the preliminary terms upon -which
each regards peace as possible.
The Administration hopes that the Allies
will not flatly reject the Oerman note
without Indicating In some fashion their
minimum of concessions and maximum of
demands as tho basis ror peace, u wiom
preliminary concessions and demands are
established by tho Allies the Administra
tion regards It as certain that Oermany
will respond with a like list
Thus a starting poini win oo muiuiiwi
from which at some time In tho future
peace may come. There Is no Idea In
official circles that peace Is near, and there
Is no Idea of attempting to expedite a
settlement. It Is recognlied that such ac
tion on the part of this Oovernment would
probably be resented. It U ulio recognlxed,
however, that the first draft of demands
mn.f t lubmltted some time, and It is
looked upon as In the Interest of humanity
In general that this preliminary siep snouiu
be made as early as possible.
As the American Government sees It.
atrmany has achieved a clever dlplomatla
coup In first presenting her peace pro
posalsat least It will be a coup If the
Allies "fall to tako an equal forward stride.
Germany will retain a position of "tactl
cal" advantage If England and her Al
lies fall to meet the Oerman move,
If the President should decide to make
the suggested pronouncement to the world
of America's creed as to peace. It -would
include these two main Ideas:
America's Interest is "only In peace and
ts future guarantees." (Obviously it was
explained acceptance of debatable points,
such as indemnities, boundary lines, etc,
would be regarded as a question the bel
ligerents themselves would have sole right
to pass upon.) ....
jlxpresslon of willingness of the United
States to become a partner In any feasi
ble association of nations "to guarantee
territorial Integrity and political Inde
pendence" of nations, largo and small
The President avowedly believes "the
principle ot publlo right must always take
precedence over Individual Interests and
separate nations, and that the nations of
the world must In some way band them
selves together to see that right prevails
as against any sort of selfish aggression."
Such pronouncement, with audi a
creed, the President U said to believe, would
serve to notify that fnls country stands
ready to assist In bringing- about a lasting
peace at the propitious but not at any
other tlm. . . , . .

BRITISH FAVOR ALLIED
STATEMENT OF TERMS
LONDON. Bee H
Sentiment Increased today In favor of
Including In Ungland's answer to the Ger
man peace note n clear and explicit defini
tion of tho Allica' basic terms
It Is certain tho nnswer will be a rejec
tion of tho proposal at this time, but It Is
felt In ninny quarters that the Allies should
meet tho German diplomatic strategy In
sending the noto by n counter-move, which
would put the Allies as the first of the two
sides to mnko known definite demands and
concessions.
Thu Pall Mall Gazette's comment wna
tjplcnl today of thin view. It said:
"We do not see why tho Allies should not
turn the Incident to their own profit by n
fresh and vigorous proclamation of the fun
damentals of our own cause nnd the condi
tions without which they felt bound to re
gard any sort of peace a inem springboard
for a still moro terrlblo conflict It Is a
unique opportunity to acquaint the whole
world with the real Issues.
"Tho essence of the Allies' answer must
necessarily be thnt peace without Justice
Is 'Immoral, and that peace without safety
Is a mere delusion."
The caution, "Watch out; take care."
sounded by Premier Iirland In his address
to the French Chamber of Deputies will
also be Knnland'H guidance In scrutlnlilng
the German penco proposals.
After the rtrst shock of the news of Ger
many's pence plan and the first and In
stantaneous decision to reject It. there came
today, with a strengthening of thlse deter
mination not lo make the peace Germany
craves, the belief that England and her
Allies ought closely to examine the cir
cumstances of the Teutonic move. Press
and publlo alike were more than aver con
vinced today that somo "Oerman trick" was
behind the proffer.
Most apparent In the German peace offer
Is the attempt to gain tho sympathy of neu
trals. An attempt to create dissension among
the Entente Allies Is believed to be one con
sideration of the note and tha Chancellor's
ipeech, Lastly, the British public believes
the Oerman Government desired to make a
"Play" to the German people to support the
oft-repeated cry that Oermany is merely de
fending herself against enemies who forced
a v ar upon her. England believes there
Is every indication of popular unrest In Oer
many, due to shortsge of food and the stag
gering losses of men and material whlcb
she has undergone since 1)16,
Popular approval wsa emphatically regis
tered to the first otncial answer to Ger
many's bid for peace made for France by
Premier Orland, He spoke to the Cham
ber of Deputies outlining the alms and
policies of the reconstructed French Govern
ment, and In connection with that ex.
planation took occasion solemnly to warn
France and her allies to watch for the
"poison" In the Teutonic offers.
FRENCH PRESS INDORSES
BRIAND'S PEACE STAND
PARIS, nee n,
The warning sounded by Premier Hrland
In the Chamber of Deputies against the
German peace proposals was lialled today
by the press as sound advice to be consid
ered very seriously.
The Premier's speech la regarded aa
France's answer to the peace proposition of
Dr. von Bethmann-iloltweg, the German
Chancellor, although the peace note has not
yet been formally handed In by the neutral
emissaries. '
That the various branches of the Gov
ernment are In accord and that the view
expressed by the Premier struck the pop
ular chord was shown by tha fact that
the chamber adopted a resolution of confi
dence In the reconstructed Government In
addition to that section of the speech re
lating to the peace proposals, the Pramiar
Indicated that the Allies are In complete
accord on all military questons, a well as
questions cf diplomacy
The Rumanian army has been reorgan
ised and strengthened by the Russians, tha
premier said, and Is ready to take its place
on the eastern front
The elevation of Oeneral Joseph Nlvelle
to the post formerly held by General Joffre
Is arousing much speculation ever the new
military tactics that would be pursued on
the western front. It is believed certain
that Jeffrey's "nibbling policy" will b fot
