P. Leased Wire WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. President Wilson late today went to the capitoi and spent an hour discussing the country's foreign affairs with Senator Stone, chairman of the foreign relations committee. Their talk covered a wide range, but it is understood that most of the time was ilomw to the situation growing out of th' uumvuranie entente reply to the peace proposals of the central powers.

Aside from transmitting the entente note to Germany and her allies, the United Slates will take no furthe--formal action in the peace movement at least, until the entente governments have replied to the communication President Wilson addressed to them. ii the note to the Teutonic nations. mm ucen lorwaraeu tonight the state department did not disclose the fact. Cable reports from Paris indicating that the entente answer to President Wilson had been prepared and would be the same in effect as that to the belligerents, did not increase hope here for a favorable outcome of the negotiations. It is known- that the German embassy believes that unless the note to President "Wilson opens the door for a further advance by its government, the war will go on another year at least.

So far could be learned, the president during his visit today to' Senator Stone, sought no action "from congress relating to the peace movement. Afterward, however, it was learned that administration leaders in the senate were preparing to sound sentiment on adopted just before the holidav adjournment, which would declare it to be the sense of the senate that action of in addressing his notr to the belligerent powers voiced tho overwhelming public sentiment anu earnest desire of the people of the United States. Senator Stone tonight conferred with Senator Hitchcock reeardi ner thu resolution now on the table and urg- I 7u mm lu tomorrow tnat it lii; over for a day in order that there might be a conference of senators on both sides of the chamber regarding it. "When it was first proposed. Senator Borah, of Idaho, objected to its immediate consideration on the ground that it was too important a matter to be dealtli with publiclv.

Senator Stone franklv stated "that was heartily' in favor of adopting rhe resolution, and that friends 'of I he president generally believed that an official endorsement of his action from the senate would be advisable. Senator Hitchcock will confer with the chairman of the foreign relations oommittse on the matter tomorrow morning. The president, it was learned, discussed many phases of foreign problems with Senator Stone, including the Mexican situation. During the day an explanation was obtained from official sources of mysterious clause in the note from Spain to the United States, referrina to another communication" from i the American government suggesting that the time was opportune for Spain to co-operate with the United States. It was learned authoritatively that no note was sent to neutral nations, but that in forwarding copies of the; president suggestion to the belliger- ents the stat.

GUNS WEEKLY Republican A. P. Leased Wire BERLIN, Jan. 1. (Wireless to the Associated Press via Sayville.) Many thousand guns per week is reported to be the measure of the mighty manufacturing effort which Germany is now making for the campaign of 1917 an effort upon which the entire manhood force of the nation which can be spared from the front and their regular occupations is being concentrated upon First Quartermaster General von Ludendorf's universal labor service law.

Counting four months before the probable renewal of the world war in full vigor on all fronts, these figures mean a new immense supply of cannon of all calibres from field guns up to the gigantic howitzers, to meet the admittedly gigantic effort which the entente allies are expected to make. Along with these guns the German factories are turning out correspondingly stupendous quantities of ammunition, and the production of machine guns, each of which virtually replaces a platoon of men, has been placed on a scale far beyond that of the past year. The campaign of 1917 it is already estimated, will be fought as a wide extension and development of the Somme battle with even a heavier concent a-tion of artillery over a far greater field. Confidence that their opponents will be unable to break through is expressed not only by the high commanders but also manifested right down into the ranks of the common people. To produce great masses of war material thousands of skilled men have been brought and are being brought back from the front and placed in the Krupp and other munition factories.

Another expected development of is a change in the center of gravity on the western fronL The Somme battle has swept its way into comparative quietude and while the military experts, here naturally are unable to predict with certainty the plans of the Anglo-French leaders, recent advices point to a transfer of the entente allies' main efforts to another region most likely that of Verdun where the French energies, recently have been concentrated on extending to its original size the Sallyport west of the Meuse the most obvious point as that nearest to the heart of Ger-nv for the effort to roll back the invasion, or, in case of minor success, a point whence operations into the lich fields would be possible. Military experts here point out that the employment of British troops large numbers at this point would be hampered by great transportation difficulties and assert that the French I reserves are inadequate for any neat; ICU trilUtL. i liCj hit- i fullest confidence that with the bal- i ance of artillery strength fullv re- stored, as they expect it to be by (Continued on Page Three) A 111 FOR TEUTONS MAKE MANY THOUSAND in i CAMPBELL'S PEACE DOCTRINE At clock this morning, Campbell and his at-cSSers agam demand admission to the executive The hearing on the mandamus writ will be held before the supreme court at 10 o'clock Thursday moraine HimtlSeL foment between Campbell and I nnimnrnn um i UBtiS ill Lie ADD TO t--. jp?" had nearly doubled There was not a mishap to inar tne flnV fi AT Lilt; Lest mo republican executive made of the at i4Luue oi jus aereattifi pmnfmtin his defeated opponent.
