Element CT terms of peace"
SPANS muaicstion presented
by Ambassador Cambon is general
in terms and does not make any dis
tinct propositions as TO Cube, the
Philippines or any other possession.
It is simply a request that peace
negotiations be opened. No arms
tice is proposed. After Ambassador
Cambon submitted the proposal a
general talk followed between him,
the President, Secretary Day and
NJ Thiebaut
The President reserved bis an
swer, an understanding being reach
ed that he would at once lay the
subject before the cabinet and then

the willingness of this government
to open negotiations
The manner 10 which the peace
negotiations shall be conducted in
case thu United States accepts

the method likely to be adopted is
to have General Horace Porter,
