was startled by the coldness of her
face, He then discovered she was
dead. He aroused the house, and doc
tors were summoned immediately, but

complained Monday night after re
tiring about severe pain in her side,
which, she said, was Kkeping her

lief. Some of the drug was found on
a dresser in the room and there was
an odor of chloroform about the lips
of the dead woman.

l WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-—News of
the German peace proposals created a
profound impression here, but in offi
’ fal circles there was the utmost re
luctance to discuss Chancellor von
‘l-u-!:\m;mmH-.il.n g's proffer until all
ivl.v information laid before the neu
i;m.fi envoys at Berlin is at hand.
| It was agreed on all sides that the
?\'fito power that means peacc or war
‘rcsns entirely with Great Britain,
! The success or failure of the move,
{ accordingly, is in the hands of the
:‘nw-.\ Preniier, Llovd-George, now rec
| cgnized as practically England's dic
tator.
There was a general disposition to
regard the peace statement of the
! German (Chancellor as an exceedingly
shrewd step, even though the terms
laid down prove unacceptable to the
Entente Allies, it being pointed out
that it would at least enlist wide
spread sympathy in neutral coun
tries
Unofficial intimation that Germany
’M:Lnnwl a peace move reached the
White House in advance of the Ber
lin announcement, it was learned.
From the information in the pos
session of adm#aistration officials, it
is understood that the purpose of the
German allies is to bring representa
tives of the warring Governments to
at least the informal discussion of
some basis for peace.
It is not expected in Berlin, accord
ing to officials here, that the first
proposals made for peace, transmitted
{to France, Great Britain and Russia,
’will be accepted. The information at
the White House and State Depart
ment, which officials insisted was
“unofficial,” was merely to the effect
that the proposals made today by the
German Chancellor would Q.e trans
mitted to the enemy nations through)
the United States, Spain and Switzer
land, the three countries notified of
the move today.
The ultimate real aim of the Ger
man Government, some officlials said,
was to ascertain the terms acceptable
to the Entente allies for a basis on
which to discuss peace.
Within a few minutes after press
dispatches reached Washington tell
ing of the move of the German Gov
ernment information of the depart
ment was laid before the President
and the Secretary of State. ‘

EVENING
EDITION
(By International News Service.)
BERLIN (via Sayville wireless), Dec. 1Z _.rmany
is willing to make peace.
Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg today notified the
diplomatic envoys of the United States, Spain and Switzer
land that the four nations making up the German Allies—
Germany, Amtria-Hunm, Turkey and Bulgaria—pro
pose to enter forthwith into’peace negotiations.
The Governments in Vienna, Constantinople and Sofia
have given similar notification.
The willingness of the German allies to enter into
peace negotiations immediately has also been transmitted
to the Vatican in Rome.
The special meeting of the Reichstag today was called
for the purpose of hearing the Chancellor’s peace proposals.
| The following was given out through the semiofficial
Overseas News Agency:
“The Chancellor this morning received one after the
other, the representatives of the United States of America,
of Spain and of Switzerland.
“These are the countries that are protecting German
interests in hostile nations.
“The Chancellor submitted to them a note and asked
them to bring it to the knowledge of the hostile govern
ments.
“The note will be read today in the Reichstag by the
Chancellor.
“In the note the four allied powers (Germany, Austria-
Hungary, Turkey and Buigaria) propose to enter forthwith
into peace negotiations.
“The propositions which are brought-forward for con
siderations are, according to the firm belief of the allied gov
ernments (German, Austria-Hungarian, Turkish and Bul
garian), appropriate for the establishment of a lasting peace.
“The governments at Vienna, Constantinople and
Sofia have transmitted notes of similar text.
“The note has also been communicated to the Holy See
an other neutral powers.”
LONDON Dec. 12—The attitude of the new British Govern
ment toward peace probably is revealed by a speech by Arthur Hen
derson last night. He declared in the most emphatic terms that no
peace proposals would be considered at this time.
Peace Terms To Be Told to
Session of the Reichstag
(By International News Service.)
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 12.—Germany,
through her Imperial Chancellor, is
expected to tell the world today in
definite, unmistakable terms on what
conditions she will make peace.
This seesion of the Reichstag is her
alded in Berlin dispatches as the most
important since the outbreak of the
war.
In its fundamental outline the
(_'h:*ellor’n statement will be a repe
tition of his declaration two weeks
ago to. Willlam Bayard Hale, Berlin
correspondent of the International
News Service, that Germany is ready
to make peace upon guarantee of her
ruture gecurity. He is expected, how
ever, to go further and define, if not
in minute detail, at least in a clear
outline, what are these guarantees she
expects.
Von Bethmann-Holiweg will add,it is
sald, that if Germany's enemies in
gist on prolonging the war, the Centra'
powers are readyv to force peace with
the sword. He wlll hint, it is said,
at a gigantle Teuton offensive toward
that end.
The plans for that offensive, dis
patches say, were finally passed on
last week by the two Kaisers and their
respective military chiefs at Austro- £
Hungarian army headquarters. o
Roumania Basis of Position. =
It is generally understood thaé
whatever may be the nwd pur=
port of the Chancellor'sS(atement, its
occasion and basis are the conquest
of Roumania now rapidly appraoching
its conclusion. e
The release of a huge Teuton army
from that campaign inspires the of
ficial German confidence that the Cen
tral powers are now in a position ':’:3
strike out for a decisive blow in g}sV
war. a}
The recent paszage of the auxum}t’w
service bill assures one and one-hal f“!
million more soldiers for active work,-;;‘%
The munitions and supplies needed
for that offensive Germany is said so
be confidgnt of obtaining as a result .
