TENTATIVE PEACE TERMS REPORTED
EMBODIED IN GERMAN PROPOSAL

Thin means that Germany's colonial empire must be Riven bnck to her

While Germany would prefer to leave the question of Riinrantccs ngalnst
future wars to be settled after the conclusion of peace, yet should tho Entente
towers insist, she would not be nvcrso to making known In nilvnnco her
general proposnls to this end.

noutrnls would bo invited to bo present.
LONDON, Dec. 29.
The Entente's reply to the German peace note has been completed. It Is
being transmitted to the various Allied capitals before delivery, which means
that it may not be sent to Washington before the middle of next week. It had
been confidently predicted in diplomatic circles that it would go forward today or
tomorrow.
The document will be transmitted to Germany through the American
Government. It is a comprehensive document, much longer than the German note.
By CAUL W. ACKERMAN
BERLIN, via wireless to United Press, Dec. 129.
Judging from unofficial reports from tho front nnd diplomatic comment, tho
peace efforts that President Wilson, the Central Powers and Switzerland nro now
making will not Buccccd immediately in bringing tho wnr to nn end.
That the wnr will not end without tho Allies making nnothcr gigantic,
concentrated effort to break tho German front is indicated by tho nrtlllcry
prcparations'which nro being mnde.
England in tho west, her allies in Grecco nnd Russin in Rumania apparently
expect to ncccpt Von Hindcnburg's challenge for winter battle.
