WAR WILL BE PUSHED WITH RENEWED FURY ALLIES SAY [Continued From First Page] While the formal reply of the Allies is made through France, it represents the united stand of the Allies. Its an nouncement of peace terms, severe though they are, was viewed as a hopeful sign by President Wilson. Accompanying the joint replj of the Allies was a note from the Belgian government,' also transmitted to the State Department by Ambassador Sharp of Paris, attacking the manner in which Germany has conducted the war. calling attention to the incon gruity of Germany's vaunted desire for peace in the face of the Belgian de portations, and criticising, by infer ence at least, President Wilson's com parison of the announced objects of tiie two sets of belligerents. Aside from the delinite announce ment of the extreme terms on which the Allies would consent to consider peace, the outstanding future of the two notc3 is the diplomatic allusions to the presumed lack of relation be tween President Wilson's move and the German peace proposals, as well as to the likening of the objects of war, as expressed to their own people "py the respective belligerents. It is apparent from the notes that this un fortunate statement made by Presi dent Wilson still rankles among the Allies. The French note, like that of Bel- ALLIES GIVE PEACE TERMS IN NOTE TO PRESIDENT The translation of the Flench text of the entente note as cabled by Am bassador Sharp at Paris, follows: "The allied governments have re ceived the note which was delivered to them in the name of the govern ment of the United States on the lath of December, 191. They have studied it with care imposed upon them, both by the exact realization which they have of the gravity ot the hour and by the sincere friendship which at taches them to the American people. "In a general way, they desire to declare their respect lor the lofty sentiments inspiring the American note and their whole-hearted agree ment with the proposal to create a league of nations, which shall assure peace and justice throughout the world. "They recognize all the advantages for the cause of humanity and civili zation which the institution of inter national agreements, destined to avoid I violent conflicts between nations, I would prevent agreements which [ must imply the sanctions necessary to insure their execution, and thus to prevent an apparent security from only facilitating new aggressions. "But a discussion of luture arrange ments for assuring a durable peace presupposes a satisfactory settlement of the present conflict; the allies have us proiound a desire as the govern ment of the United States to termi nate as soon as possiulo a war for which the central empires are re sponsible and wfiich intucts sucn cruel sunerings upon humanity. "liut, in their judgment, it is im possible to obtain at this moment sucn a peace as will not only secure to them the reparation, the restitution and tlie guarantees justly due uiem, by reason of the act 01 aggression, the guilt of which is fixed upon the central powers, wnile tne very prin ciple trom which it sprang was un dermining the safety oi Kurope, and, at the same time, such a peace as win enable future European nations to be established upi>n a sure foundation, 'llie allied lianons aru conscious thai they are not Ugnting for seinsn inter ests, but, above all, to safeguard tfie independence of peoples, of rigi-t and of humanity. l*roicst 0110 Point In Wilson's Note "The allies are fuiiy aware of the losses and sultering whicn the war causes to neutrals, as well as to belli gerents, and they deplore tneiu; but uiey do not hold themselves respon sible for tnem, having in no way either willed or provoked this war. And they strive to reduce these dam ages in the measure compatioie with tno inexorable exigencies ui their ue-l tense against the violence and tlie wnes of the enemy. "it is with satisfaction, therefore, that they take note of the declaration that the American communication is in no wise associated in Its origin witn that of the. central powers, transmitted on the 18th of December by the gov ernment of the United Stales. Vucy did not doubt, moreover, uic resolu tion of that government to axoiti even Uxe upi>ein u.ive 01 a support, even moral, of tlie authors rccponsiole lor the war. "The allied governments feel it their duty to challenge in the most lriendiy, but also in tae clearest, way the analogy drawn between the two groups of belligerents. This analogy, baseu on public declarations of tne central powers, is in direct conitict with the evidence, both as regards responsibility for the past and guaran tees lor the future. President \V iison, in alluding to this analogy, did not, of course, intend to adopt it as his own. "if there is an historical fact estab lished at the present date, it is the willful aggression of Germany and Austria-Hungary to insure their hege mony over Europe and their economic domination over the world. Germany proved by her declaration of war, by the instant violation of Belgium and Luxemburg and by her methods of warfare, Germany has proved that she systematically scorns every principle of humanity and ail respeot due to small states. More and more, as the struggle lias progressed, has the at titude of the central powers and their allies been a constant challenge to humanity and civilization. "Is it necessary to recall the horrors which accompanied the invasion of Belgium and of Servia, the atrocious regime imposed upon the invaded countries, the massacre of hundreds of thousands of inoffensive Armenians, the barbarities perpetrated against the population of Syria, the raids of Zeppelins on open towns, the destruc tion by submarine of passenger steam ers and of merchantmen even under neutral flags, the cruel treatment in-■ dieted upon prisoners of war, the juridical murders of Miss Cavel, of Captain Fryatt, the deportation and the reduction to slavery of civil popu lations, et cetera? The execution of such a series of crimes, perpetrated without any regard for universal re probation. fully explains to President Wilson the protest of the allies. "They consider that the no'to which they sent to the United States in reply to the German note will be a response to the questions put by the American government, and, according to the exact words of the latter, constitutes a public declaration as to the condi tions upon which the war could bo terminated. Allies Iji y Down Their Terms "President Wilson desires more. He desir.es flint the belligerent powers openly affirm the objects which tl.cy seek by continuing the war; the allies experience no difficulty in replying to tills request. Their objects In the %vnr are well known; they have been formulated on many occasions by the chiefs of their divers governments. Their objects in the war wilt >iot be made known in detail, with all the equitable compensations and in demnities for damages suffered, until the hour of negotiations. "Hut the t'lUl'n the principle of nationalities, on tile right which ail |>eoplcs, whether small or great, have to Uie enjoy ment of full security and free economic developments, and also upon territorial agreements and interna tional arrangements so framed as to guarantee land and sea frontiers against unjust attacks; the restitution of provinces or territories wrested in Uie past from the allies by force or against the will of their populations; the liberation of Italians, ot Slavs, of It lima ilia n:' anil of Teheeo Slovaqucs from foreign domination; the enfran chisement of populations subject to the bloody tyranny of the Turks; the expulsion from Kurope of the Ottoman empire, which has proved itself so radically alien to western civilization. "The intentions of his majesty tho emperor of Kussia regarding Poland have been clearly indicated in the proclamation which he has just nd dressid to his armies. It goes with out saying that if the allies wish to liberate Europe from the brutal covetousness of Prussian militarism it never has been their design, as lias been alleged, to encompass the exter mination of the German peoples and their political disappearance. That which they desire above all is to in sure a peace upon the principles of liberty and justice, upon the inviolable fidelity to international obligation with which the government of the United States has never ceased to be inspired. "United in the pursuits of this su preme object, the allies are deter mined, individually and collectively, to act with all their power and to con sent to all sacrifices to bring to a victorious close a conflict upon which they are convinced not only their own safety and prosperity depends, but also the future of civilization itself." Belgium Sends Seiwrate Note The translation of the Belgian note, which was handed to Ambassador Sharp, wit-fa the entente reply, fol lows: "The government of the king, which has associated itself with the answer handed by the president of the* French council to the American ambassador on behalf of all, is de sirous of paying tribute to tho senti ment of humanity which prompted the president of the United States to send his note to the belligerent pow ers, and it highly esteems the friend ship expressed for Belgium through his kindly intermediation. It de sires as much as Mr. Woodrow Wil son to see the present war ended as early as possible. "But the president seems to believe that the statesmen of the two op posing camps pursue the same objects of war. TJie example ot' Belgium, un fortunately, demonstrates that this is in no wise the tact. Belgium has never, like the central powers, aimed at conquests. The barbarous fashion in which the German government has treated, and is still treating, the Bel gian nation docs nut permit Uie sup ination tlial Germany will preoccupy Herself with guaruntecuig in tlic lu ture the lights o1 the weak nations which she lias not ceased to trample under loot since the war, let loose by her, begun to desolate Luropc, "On the other hand, the government of the king has noted with pleasure and with confidence the assurances that the United States is impatient to co-operate in the measures which will be taken after the conclusion of peace to protect and guarantee the small na tions against violence and oppression. "Previous to the German ultimatum, Belgium only aspired to live upon good terms with all her neighbors, and practiced with scrupulous loyalty toward each one of them the duties Imposed by lier < neutrality. In the same manner she has been rewarded by Germany for the confidence she placed in her, through which, from one day to the other, without any plausible reason, lier neutrality was violated, and the chancellor of the empire, when announcing to the reichstag this violation of right and ot treaties, was obliged to recognize the iniquity of sueh an act and prede termine that it would bfc repaired. "But the Germans, after the occu pation of Belgian territory, have dis played no better observance of tho rules of international- law or the stipulations of The Hague convention. They have by taxation, as heat y as it is arbitrary, drained Hie resources of the country; they nave intentionally ruined its industries, ruined whole Cities, put to death u.id imprisoned a considerable number of inhabitants. Kvt-n now, while they are loudly pro claiming tIM ir desire to put an end to tiie horrors of war, they increase the rigors of the occupation by dc]>ortiiig into servitude Belgian workers tty die Uiousiuids. "If there is a country which has the right to say that it lias taken up arms to defend its existence, H is as suredly Belgium. Compelled to light or to submit to shame, she passion ately desire's that an end he brought to the unprecedented sufferings of her population. But she could only ac cept a peace which would assure her, as well as equitable reparation, se curity and guarantees for the future.

Germany is ready to tight on and places on the heads of the Entente Allies "full responsibility for the continuation of the bloodshed." Such is the purport of a note hand ed the neutral governments concern ing the reply of the Allies to the Ger man peace proposals. It Is declared that the Teutonic Pow ers shall continue the struggle "In quiet confidence and firm trust in their right, until peaop Is gained with guar antees to their nation's honor, exist ence and liberty of development, and ■well as to the generous Americans eager to relieve the misery of the Bel gian population. Finally, nowhere more than In the United States have the abductions and deportations of Belgian civilians provoked such a spontaneous movement of protestation and indignant reproof. "Theso facts,' entirely to the honor of the American nation, allow the government of the king to entertain the legitimate hope that at the time of the definite settlement of this long war the voice of the entente powers will find in the United States a unanimous echo to claim In favor of Ihe Belgian nation, innocent victim of German ambition and coveteousness, the rank and the place which its irre proachable past, tho valor of its sol diers, is fidelity to honor and its re markable facilities tor work assigned to it among the civilized nations."
