CENTRAL POWERS REPLY

?
OF PEACE TERMS.
In Washington, Action is Looked Upon
as Advancing Cause, Although
There Is Disappointment Because
No Terms Are Set Forth.
Washington. ? Germany's reply to
President Wilson's note is regarded
here as haying advanced the peace
movement another step despite the
Tact that it disappoints in. not meeting
his suggestion for an avowel of terms.
The reception German's reply re
ceives among the Entente Allies,
whose statesmen have publicly de
clared against such a program, now
becomes the point upon which a furth
er move hinges. The German note
probably is the prelude to a series of

This fs the official view
nany's reply, so Ear as it has been
formulated on the basis of the un
official text. The official copy hagdo^
been received and Presldent^wllaon
was keeping his mind open.
Neutral diplomatic quarters, too,
garded the note aa a step toward peace
and rather leaned to the view that
Germany might follow it with a con
fidential communication of some sort
outlining her terms. > t ,> ?
The reply of the Central Powers as |
given out at Berlin, says :
"The high-minded suggestion made
by the President of the United States
of America is order to create if basis
for the establishment of a lasting
peace has been received and consider
ed by the Imperial Government in the
friendly spirit wihch was expressed in
the President's communication..
"The President points out that j
which he has at heart and leaves open ;
the choice of roads.
"To the Imperial Government an im
mediate exchange of views seems to
her the most appropriate road in order
to reach the desired result

Latest Suggestions- For Change* In

The Three American Representa
tives, Lane, Mott and Gray. ~
Washington.? One more appeal ior
modification of the protocol providing
for the withdrawal of American troops
from Mexico is made by General Car
ranza in a message delivered to Sec
retary Lane by Luis Cabrera, chair
man of the Mexican members of the
Joint commission. The Mexican first
chief replied to the insistent Ameri
can demand that the protocol signed
by his spokesman at Atlantic City be
ratified with an eight hundred word
document in which he failed to ac
cede to the demand, but refrained
from writing anything that could be
construed as a flat repudiation.
The latest suggestions for changes
in the agreement now will be consid
ered by the three American represen
tatives?Secretary Lane, J. tt- M0" I
and Judge Gray. Secretary
vised his colleagues of the
of the reply and asked them to meet
him here as soon as they conV^n' I
iently could.
A joint session of the Mexican
American commission will be ^held a
which the Americans will give t
Mexicans their answer and on Its na
ture depends the future course of the
commissioners. , ?
It was learned that the Mexican
commissioners were confident that no
Inseparable barrier had been raised by
Carranxa.
The chief insistence of Carransa has
been that the American troops should
be withdrawn unconditionally which I
the American commissionerswo^^
not consider. It was indicated that
Carranza's insistence on; thsJ .point
was less pronounced now and that tbe
change in his attitude had bjsn
wrought largely by the altered mli
tary situation in northern Mexico.

BERNSTORFF'S STATEMENT
Count Von Bernsterff In Statement
Says He Considers Answer to WM
son's Proposal as Acceptance By ^
Teutons of All Suggestions.
Washington. ? In spite of the w>de
guJf between the insistence of the Cen
tral Powers for an Immediate peace
conference and the forecast of a uiil
mous refusal by the Entente Allies 10
?ent6r such a conference without know
ing Germany's terms In advance, the
American Government believes that
the negotiations in progress are result
ing in good. It was said with authority
that until the- door to peace actually
closed by one Bide or the other, Presi
dent Wilson will continue to hope that
any discussion of. the subject will tend
to hasten th6 end of the war.
Count von Bernstorff, the Gorman
Ambassador, returning unexpectedly
from New York, authorited the Asso
ciated Press to make the following
statement: *
"I regard the note fcf my govern
ment as constituting an acceptance of
everything suggested by President.
Wilson In his note tq the belligerent
nations of Europe."
It was made clear at the Embassy
that Germany stands ready to make
known her terms on the first day of
any conference that may be held, and
officials expressed themselves as be
ing greatly surprised at the view pre
vailing in some quarters here that
the Berlin government had failed to
meet the President's suggestions by
note, setting down in the reply the
terms upon which it is willing to make
peace. The German dlsplomats say
President Wilson has no intention of
drawing a public declaration concern
ing terms from the Central Powers.
On the contrary they think the Pres
ident's suggestion "that an early oc
casion be sought to call out from all
the nations now at war such an avow
al of their resp%ctive views as to the
terms upon which the war might be
concluded," has been fully met by
Germany in seeking an' immediate
conference with her enemies.

According to Dr. Simon N. Patteu,
leading economist at the University of
Pennsylvania, only 25 per cent of the
'graduates in law at . that institution
follow the practice of law after they
leave the university. The statistics
also show that 75 per cent of the law
students, after the long course and at
heavy expense, ?.o into other lines of
work:
"It requires ten years for a college
man to earn as much as the untrained
man of business," Doctor Patten added.
"While college men require ten years
to get on their feet, the high school
