C, Dee. 28. Kollowinir n confuronco in Uerlin Tuesday between thu knitter unci AmbiiMmdor Gerard, thu American ntnbiiHsndor has advitted President Wilson that Ger many ia rcatiy to grant greatly modified peace tenns. TIiIh is thu information obtained from official circles here. It Ik known that several cablegrams were received nt tho White House today from Ambassador Gernrd, but neither the Wliito llousu nor Secretary of Stale Lansing would iIIbcush them. Thu proposal lo establish Poland ami Lithuania as independent kingdoms and the proposal to pay a Ilelginn indemnity, offset by nllled Indemnities, have been abandoned in the modified terms, it was learned. Other proitosnlH are: Kvncuntion and restoration of Helgium, Germany paying an indemnity for damages to persons and property on the ground that thu invasion of Kelgium was n military necessity. Evacuation of Russian territory upon condition that Russia f hull pay Germany an indemnity for damages lo persons and prop erty in tho invasion of East Prussia. Disposition of Rumania, Serbia anil Montenegro on terms satis factory to Austria. Hiiltmrin nnd Turkov. Restoration to Germany of all colonies in Africa, Kino Chau and tho Pacific Islands anil payment of an indemnity by tho allies for damages to persons and properly therein. Evacuation of Frqnch territory. President Hopeful of Good RcsuKh. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. U8.--.In Bplte of tho widu gulf be tween tho insistence of tho central powers for an immediate peace conference nnd the forecast of a unanimous refusal by the entente allies to enter such a conference without knowing Germany's terms In advnnce, the American government believes that tho ne gotiations in progress arc resulting in good. It was said with authority todny that until the door to peace actually is closed by one side or the other President Wilson will continue to hope that any discussion of tho subject will tend to hasten tho end of tlic wnr. Count von Hernstorff, tho Gorman nmbassador, returning un expectedly from New York, authorized tho Associated Press to make the following stntemeivt: "I regard tho note of my govern ment as constituting an acceptance of everything suggested by President Wilson in his note to tho belligerent nations of Europe." England SajH No Possibility of Conference. LONDON, Dec. 28. It is not believed In official circles hero that there exists any possibility of assembling n peace confcrcnco as proposed in the German reply to President Wilson's note, unless Germany Is willing to make suggostions in advance regarding her ideas of tho torms of peace.
