A GSULTATION I

.WITH THE COLONIES

To Consider Urgent Questions Affecting

Prosecution of the War and Possible Conditions of Peace. -

(Canadian Press Despatch.)

OTTAWA, Dec. 27.-The cable re-

ceived by' the goverllor-general fronl the coionlal secretary alnplifles the announcement made ill the British house last week by Premier Lloyd George in re'gard to the imperial con- ferullcc to be called to consider the co-ord-lnated war efforts of the empire.

The cable( from the cololliul secre-

tary to the governor-general followszf

LONDON, Dec. 27.-"l wish to ex-

plain that what is contemplated by| ills Majesty's government is not a ses-_ sion of tlhe ordinary imperial confer- ence but a special war conference of theemplre. His Majesty's government' therefore invite your prime minister; to attend a series of special and con-I tinuous/ meetings of the war cabinet In order‘ to consider urgent questions' affecting the prosecution c-1' the war,I the possible coiditions on which, ini

agreement with our allies, we could] assent to its termination and the prob-| lcnls which will then immediately arise.

“Your prime minister for the pur-

pose of these meetings would be a member of the' war cabinet."

“ln view of the extreme urgency

of the subjects of discussion, as well as of the supreme urgencies o fthe subjects, lt is hoped that your prime

[minister may find it possible, ill spite

of serious inconvenience, to attend at au e‘al'ly date, not latcr than the end oi’ February. Wllile the presence' ol' your prime minister himself is ear- nestly deslred by Mis Majesty's go- vernment, they hope that, if he sees lnsuperable difficulties, he will care- fully conslder the question of nomina- ting a substitute as they would regard it as a serious misfortune if ally do- minion were lcft ullrepresellted."

(Canadian Press Despatch.) OTTAWA. Dec. 26-All invitation

to attend the lnlperlal collfcrellce and to Suggest a convenient date for its assembly had been received by Sir Robert Borden, wllo will attend the meeting, but the gove-rllmnt has llot yet considered suggestions as to the time it should be held. Parliament will Ile called for about the first of February and with the attendance of the Premier and probably several ministers at the imperial conference essential, the work of thu session seclms certainly to be considerably' ill- fluenced. ln 1911, when the las-t con- ference was held, an adjournment of the .house was made to permit of Sir Wilfrid Laurie-r’s attendance, and pos- sibly this course may again be follow- ed through the coming conferenceto take place between now and sprillg

You can safuly give that nr- the British army's answer to all peace talk," declared a staff general today ill response to the-questions as to what he and his men thought of President WIlsoll's note. The note is- varlously commented upon by the fighting men and the feeling was that strong influences had succeeded in inducing Wilson to believe this 'was- an opportune time to act. Such action was expressed as smoothing Cer- nlany`s road and enabling' her to take a. second step ill her peace' plot.. ITlle sentiment at the front is unanimous- ly against peace now. Every- indica- tion points to lmuch worse' conditions ill Germany than the world even sus- pects. O_ll the other hand, the Allies are daily better situated to wage a successful offensive. The Brltisll wllo are little given to demoll`strativene';ls are unanimous in their expression of absolute confidence in a. comparative- ly early defeat of the Central Powers _under pressure' of the Allies’ gather- ing strength.
