store peace between Great Britain and
the South African republics. This has
not taken the shape OF proffer of

not be volunteered by the United States
until it is known to be acceptable to
both parties to the war. But the
United States might very properly
serve as intermediary to trasmit an
appeal for peace and the terms upon
which peace can be restored. The
United States has successfully served
in this capacity in the past, notably in
the termination of the Chino-Japanese
war, and it is believed its good Offices
in this line are now being extended. Ii
