antagonism develops to the princi
ples he proclaims. From an au
thoritative source it is reported that
the Premier will reaffirm the dec
laration formerly made by ex-Pre
mier Asquith, namely, that Ger
inany must give up the territory she
has overrun, make recompense for the
suffering she has caused, and give
guarantees for the future that shall
remove the menace of militarism.
However, the Premier may go fur
ther, in view of the delicate diplomatic
situation which arises. It is likely
that he will announce that the attitude
of the new war Government on peace.
is held by a majority of the people.
Then, if a disagreement davolopll
among the members of the House, he
will be given the opportunity of ask-
Ing the King to take the opinion of
the people at the polls,
While there is a division among the
newspapers as to the manner in which

ally lead to a conference. If this con
ference takes place, it will probably
sit at The Hague.
Opposition to the acceptance of the
proposals has developed from a brand
new source. There are some officials
In the Government who are opposed
to dealing with Dr, von Bethmann-
Hollweg or with Germany mso long as
the present Chancellor is in office.
This opposition is based chiefly upon
the utterances of the Chancellor early
in the war, when he referred to the
treaty guaranteeing Belgium’s neu
trality as a “scrap of paper.”

(Gigantic Obstacles
To Agreement Seen
(By International News Service.)
COPENHAGEN, Dre. 18.—Even
should the German peace proposals
lead eventually to a peace conference
‘at The Hague., which now seems to
be a very remotes possibility, diplo
mats see stumbling blocks which
would prove gigantie obstacles in the
'way of an agreement. Briefly, these
are:; .
1. Germany’s desire to have Great
Britain relinquish her sea supremacy,
2. England’'s proposal to curd the
military strength of Germany.
3. France's aim to acquire Alsace
and Lorraine from Germany.
4. Guarantees for commercial
equality,
5. Indemnities.
6. Division of Balkan territory and
the recognition of Poland as a sepa
rate kingdom by the Allies.
o dlspatcéh from Berlin quotes The
11-‘unkfurhr Zeltung as saying that
an agreement as to the limitation of
)Armunonu would be possible, in view
’of the staggering loss of life and suf
fering entailed by the war.
_ But when it came to work out the
definite terms of this agreement, the
conferees would find their real difi
culties. The Zeltung seunds warning
that, If the present proposals are re-
Jected and Germany Is compelled to
fight untll her enemies are completely
crushed, terms of a very different
character from those contemplated at
present will be demanded.

Mesopotamia Drive
LONDON, Dec. 18.—British troops
In Mesopotamia are driving toward
Kut-Fl-Amara, where General Town
shend's army was tripped and ocap
tured by Turks last spring.
The new offensive of the British in
the Mesopotamia theater of war is
commanding widespread attention.
Military experts express the opinion
that the new thrust against the Turks
along the Tigris River may have for
one of its objects the weakening of
German and Austran pressure unln-tl
Russia. There have been reports that
If the German allies were successful
In overrunning Roumania they might
try to invade Ruutan through Bea
sarabla simultaneously with a Turk
ish drive against the Russians in Ar.
menia. By attacking the Turks in
Mesopotamia the British may compel
a shift of Turkish troops from the
Armenian arena.
