attitude of Emperor William toward the

authorized to say that from the beginning

for peace. He, however. has refralned
from advising either of the belligerents,
believing that until one or the other should
intimate a wish to conclude peace any In
tervention or offer of mediation would
prove futile. The emperor, however has
let his strong desire for peace be known.
Ministers Work for Peace.
PARIS. June "a dispatch to the semi
official Temps from St. Petersburg filed at
o'clock this afternoon says:
1T is learned fro man authoritative
source that the unanimous efforts of minis
ters are directed toward peace and that
they hope to succeed shortly.
Information reaching here gives a de-
cidedly more hopeful view to the peace
outlook. This is particularly true con.
cerning the unity of the foreign pressure
which is being exerted. Although it is
not yet evident that Russia will yield tc
these influences, the exchanges in which
Berlin is taking an important part are
considered likely to exert a strong ten
dency toward the initiation of peace ne.
gotiations. 1t is the understanding that
Germany and the United States are now
taking the foremost part in the efforts
toward peace. with the other powers lend
ing them strong moral support.
