LONDON PRESS NOT UNIT ONJPEACEIERMS

0alf Sees Sincerity In Geraan

OifeT,

While Others Believe It to Be

l/)NDON, Dec. 28.—Opinion here on the reply of the central Dowers to the Bolshevik! terms, as far as can be Judged from th^ editorials in the morning "newspapers, follows two main lines. On one hand it seems to be felt that the central powers have made a perfectly sincere offer to end the war Immediately, while on the other hand it is declared that they have set a Cunning trap in which they hope, although vainly, to ^atch the allies.

The former view is not conflnefi to papers generally regarded an having pacifist leaning*. It is supported Strongly for instance, by the conservative Daily Express, which stands uncompromisingly for victory over the Central powers and is an ardent apostle of antl-Prusslanlsm. In all papers taking this view the statement of the central powers is regarded as being •ddresaed less to Russia than to the allies collectively and the offer mads through

tCount

Ozernin Is attained to

an Initial proposal, which the central powers probably are prepared to modify in the course of bargaining, for ao where are the terras of( the central powers regarded as entirely acceptable In tUcir present forju- The Kxprei* iays

Considered First Bid,

"The term* ma£ be taken as flertliany's first bid. The proposals are. of course, wholly Inadequate, but It ta significant that the idea of conquest has been abandoned completely. This Is the first Indication that Oernffcnv ham begun to realize the true position with which she is confronted. v "At the same time the demand of the allies for reparation 1a Ignored totally. There is no doubt tftatthe negotiations are a form of camouflage by which Germany fs attempting to talk to the allies through Russia. It is a general peace which Germany and Austria want and behind Osernin's words ther* Is. w* think, a perlectly sincere desire to ead the war at once. V "An authoritative/ allied reply to Count Czernin might he a message to the (Jermaji people that the allies have so wish to contrive their destruction, hinder their'development or threaten their independency. When they once 'Understand m'hat the allies stand for and what really are their intentions, the German people themselves will complete the destruction of that militarism which has, set out to conquer tty world." V" Meant For Allies.

Th® Daily Chronicle says It Is n "snkimr fat' that the central powers Have accepted the formula of no annexations and no indemnities and continues •The new peace offer of the central flowers is meant, not primarily for iSuppia. but for the allt«v at large and especially the United States. Coming at the same time as threats ana warn-

Irgs of tremendous German efforts on the wesU-rr front. iX is no doubt merely the forerunner of proposals more formal in character. The terms of the central powers offer no security Whatever against a recurrence oi the war whenever the original disturbers of the peace are strong enough to flgut again with a better prospect of vieto rj

The Dally News, which wsrmlv endorsed the recent letter of the Marquis of Lansdowne and is regarded as belug linked with pacifists, contends that Oermany had to choose between extremists and moderates as no peace formula could possibly satisfy both Count Reventlow and Phillip ScheideJnann. "Nothing couM be ho more i?!-ad-vised," it says, "than a general denunciation of the German offer by the .press or politicians of the entente al- •.• liance, as such a reception is precisely what German diplomacy is playing: ftor.'V.

Tht? foreign minister said Germany was seeking to protract the negotiations with the Russians, re-establish-in cf commercial relations in the meantime, believing that In this way the

Bolsheviki might be checkmated later. He said France is ready to discuss direct propositions regarding peace, but that tliis^is indirect. "Russia can treat for a separate peace with our enemies or -not. In either case the war for us will continue. An ally has failed us, an ally who in preceding years carried off great victories. It is a great success for our enemy, but another ally has come: Trom the other end of the world a democracy has risen against Germany's appetite for conquest."

After referring to the German declaration that Alsace and Lorraine would never be surrendered, M. Pichon said": "The question of Alsace-Lorraine does not affect jPrance alone. It^is a world question. It is not a ferrltorial problem, but a moral problem. On its solution depends whether or nol the world shall have a durable peace."
