SUNDAY'S TELEGRAMS,

THE PEACE PROPOSALS,

London, January 12. The New York Herald” says that the Allies reply to President Wilson in a new Declaration of Independence on behalf of civilisation.

:

The "New York Times” says that if Gemany has the effron- tery to say the terms are unjust, the judgment of the whole world will be against her, and that it is for Germany to say whether peace will be now. If she continues to fight, defeat is inevitable and the final terms will be harder.

The "New York World” says that unless Germany is willing to follow the example of the Allies and state her

·war aims and peace terms, she can have no standing before the tribunal of popular opinion.

The pro-German "New York American" aays that if the Allies Idrist on their demands there will be no peace until- one side conquers or both are exhausted.

Amsterdam, January 12.

The German Note to Neutrals reiterates that Germany took up arms to defend her existence, and says that this aim has now been attained. The Germans allege that the - Allies have departed more and more from their original ex- pressed aims, which are, (they affirm) now directed towards conquest. They complain that the Allies have not examined Germany's peace offer and have not made counter-proposals. They make a sering of allegations against the Allies, referring to Ireland, South Africa and Greete, accuse the Allies of breaking treaties, ill-treating prisoners in Africa and Busala and of deporting civilians. They endeavour to throw the responsibility of the fate of Belgium on Britain, France and on Belgium, herself and protest against the accusation of German atrocities in Belgium, which they declare to be "calumnies."

London, January 13..

The "Daily Chronicle" comments on the significant absence of any British demand in the Allies' reply. This self-effacement, in view of the conquered German colonies, is bound to impress public opinion in the United States, as it proves that we entered the war simply because of an over- whelming sense of duty. The journal also reminds Americans of British disinterestedacks in relinquishing Cubaand of our action in granting autonomy to the Boers.

The "Daily News" ways that nothing could be better for the Allies than that Neutrais should be able to compare the „Entente's and Germany's Notes simultaneously. The next diplomatic step in doubtful, but it is already a material, adrance to have approached within reasonable distance of negotiation:

Amsterdam, January 13,

The Kaiser in a Proclamation to the German people days

"Our enemies have dropped their mask after refusing, with scorn and hypocitical professions of love of humanity, our honest peace offer.

They are now replying to the United States and have ad- mitted their lust of conquest, the baseness of which is enhanced by their calumnies. They aim at crushing Ger- many and at the enzisvement of Europe and the sens under the same yoke that Greece, with gnashing of teeth, is now enduring.

The Proclamation goes on to declare that "our glorious victories and the iron will with which the Germans have borne hardships and distress in this unscrupulous economie war, guarantee that the beloved Fatherland has nothing to fear.

Burning indignation and boly wrath will redouble every German's strength, and God will give full victory over the enemy's rage for destruction.”

London, January 13.

Reuter authoritatively issuce a statement which may be regarded as expressing the views of the Allies on the German Note.

It again emphasises that it was Germany who refused conference in the critical days of July, 1014.

With reference to Germsay's allusions to Ireland and South Africa, it says that whatever the past differences in connection with these countries, Germany knows to her cost that they are now united with the rest of the Empire in repelling Germany's aggression.

Replying to the German assertion that our starvation policy is inhumane, the statement asks if Germany was of the same opinion in '1670 when she starved. Paria

Regarding the attempted defence of her, overrunning of Belgium, the statement reminds Germany that Dr. Bethe mann-Hollweg in the Reichstag stated that the invasion was justified by military necessity.

FURTHER BRITISH SUCCESS IN EGYPT.

Parin, January 12. Tho British have captured in twelve hourg the strong position of Rafa, by which the Turks are now cleared out of Sinai,

In a masterly" surprise attack, Anzac mounted troops covered thirty miles of difficult ground in twelve hours in the darkness.

The enemy consisted of Turkish regulars.

WIRELESS GERMAN "NEWS,"

London, January 12. A wireless German official report states that the English twice vainly attacked north of the Ancre. Our counter- attack, north of Beaucourt, thrust them back from positione gained. We took fiftý.prisoners and stormed several posi- tions on both sides of Vitaz Road, capturing booty and prisoners..

We pushed back the Russians between Braila and Galatry towards the Bereth and captured Laburtea

Armed enemy vessels attemptodon the night of Jan. 10-11 to pass Loacces. We sank one of the vessels while the other went aground.

The enemy fruitlessly attacked the Austro-Bulgarians behind Cerava, south of Lake Ochrida."

THE GERMAN PLOTS IN AMERICA.
