Wilson is conferring with the Prem
jers o* thp'entente as to the form
ol answer to be given th© German
government to its peace proposals.
Th? indications are that it will not

presid-en* has formulated an answer
tuat wil constitute an historical
record. Lloyd George, Premier Clen
enceau and Orlando haye been
asked their acquiescence. There
is oo question as to its nature but
It may not us© the the term 'uncon
ditional surrender" which would re
floe* th# sentiment that ha^ come
from every nation, but it is sure to
convey tc 'he German governmew
the f^ct that nothing less than the
terms already lain down can be ac
cepted.
