NO CHANCE OF PEACE
UNLESS GERMANY
REPLIES SPECIFICALLY
International New* Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—The state
department announces that word from
United Slates embassies in London,
Paris and Petrograd have been re
ceived relative to the views in official
circles concerning the entente re
sponses to Germany's peace proposal.
The reports from each of these cap
itals are to the same effect and show
that the allies will consider the pro
posal for a peace conference upon the
terms now offered by Germany.
It is not denied that the allies are
willing to conclude the war, but, thi
embassy reports say, a prerequisite
to a conference for this purpose is
that the German allies shall state
specifically what term3 they offer.
The chief demands and concession
of the Germans must be given with
exactitude.
INCORRECT REPORTS
OF GERMAN REPLY
MAKES STOCKS DROP
Interantional News Service.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Owing to in'
incorrect announcement thU morning
that the official reply sent by Ger- j
many to Wilson’s note contained a
confidential supplementary eopimuni- j
cal‘on another bear market prevailed 1
on the stock exchange. All war stocks
took a tumble. Those who were on
.he short s de of the market made a
hig profit.
After nearly two hours of frenz'ed
trading the announcement from Wash
ington that there was no confidential
supplement changed the market to the
bull side and the reaction carried all
stocks nearly to the level of last, night’s
trading.
Many rumors are rife as to the eon
tents of the British answer to Ger
many's proposals with the result that
the trend of war slocks is downward.
The possibility of war with Mexico,
however, has served to offset to a cer
tain extent the probability of an early
conclusion of the European struggle.
