BRITON SAYS WILSON'S NOTE ENTITLES RESPECT II. X. IIa roc. Minister ot Pensions, Deiia res American People Want to Ho Friendly.

LONDON. Jan. 8. G. X. Harnes, minister of pensions, in a speech in London Sunday paid Pres't Wilson's suggestion that the belligerents state their teims for peace was entitled to all possible respect. The American people, the minister added, on the whole, wanted to be on friendly term with England and therefore "w ouj?ht to cultivate that friendship." "The president." Mr. Barnes

said, "should be assured that this;

country is not out to smash Germany, or anybody or anything except military power and pride." Declaring that Pres't Wilson should be left under no misapprehension as to the objects of the entente allies, Mr. Harnes said that

what was wanted before the allies could enter into negotiations was the "clearing out of the Germans from Helgium and the territory of small peoples, reparation to thee peoples for all wrong done and the subscribing by Germany to a document of peace which would be backed up by the international moral force of the whole world." Regarding Germany's peace offer, ! Mr. Barnes .said:

"We cannot make terms with a wild beast and the answer given by the allies is the only possible answer. We a'.l want peace, but the

lest way to attain it is to banish peace from oar minds until we have attained the objects we set out to secure in the war."
