FOR SLIGHTEST OPENING
Pointed Out That Willingness Of Ger.
many to Arbitrate Might Influence
the Allies, Though They Seek
Decisive Victory, as
Reported.

Washington, Sept. 15.-The knowl-
edge that Emperor William has been
considering for several days a mes
sage from the United States govern
ment inquiring, in effect, if Germany
was DESTROYS of discussing peace
measures, has set official and diplo-
matte Washington on the alert for a
possible exchange of peace terms be-
tween the belligerents.
Seek kaiser's Attitude.
1t had not been a matter of general
knowledge that beginning with the
dinner in New York a week ago, at
tended by Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, and Oscar
Straus, American member of The
Hague Peace Tribunal, an informal
movement has been under way to
learn Germany's attitude toward
peace.
Diplomatists and officials discussed
among themselves the details of the
seven days of peace p%arleying and
there was a noticeable absence of the
indifference with which talk of peace
was regarded several days ago.. This
was due, it was believed, largely to
the apparent turn in the tide of battle
In France and the feeling among diplo-
mat1sts of the allied powers that the
German troops soon would be forced
back to the borders of France and Bel
GUM.
Might Change Aspect.
Notwithstanding the vigorously
phrased statements throughout the
news channels last week that Great
Britain. France and Russia would not
make peace until they had decisively
defeated Germany, it was admitted in
many quarters here that a favorable
answer from Emperor William to the
American governments inquiry might
change the entire aspect of the situa-
ton.
U. s. Officials on Alert.
One thing has become apparent to
close observers of the situation-Presi-
dent W;:son and Secretary Bryan are
keenly alert for the slightest opening
in the diplomatic situation abroad
which might encourage them to press
the powers for an acceptance of media.
ton
1t is considered likely now that the
president may not wait for the powers
to take the initiative and that if an
indication arises from an apparently
authoritative quarter Of a willingness
on the part Of the belligerents to dis.
cuss peace terms, the American gov
eminent will be quick to take ad-
vantage of the opening.
Peace Must Be Permanent.
Both Great Britain and France have
stated unequivocally to the American
government that they were always
willing to talk peace but must know
definite terms declaring with emphasis
their belief that the peace of Europe
obtained through the present war must
be permanent and not temporary truce.
The allied powers have informed the
American government that owing to
Germany's disregard for the treaty
which guaranteed the neutrality of
Belgium. they would be inclined to
doubt the value of effectiveness of
whatever treaty of peace might now
be signed unless German m%ilitarism
were totally crushed.

GERMANS WALKED INTO TRAP
REPORT OF GENERAL FRENCH
TELLS OF ALLIES RUSE.

London, Sept. 15.-That a trap was
set for the advancing Germans by the
allies and sprung when part of Gen
eral Won Kluck's forces walked into it
to the southeast of Paris is shown in
a report submitted by Field Marshal
Sir John French to Lord Kitchener,
just made public by the British Off
cial press bureau. The report covers
the movements of the British expedi-
tionary force from Sept. 4 to 20 inclu-
sive.
Telling a story far different from
that of a week ago, when he reported
the Britons in danger of complete an
Inhalation, from which they were saw
ed only through the valorous stand
of the troops under General Smith
Dorrien, General French's report tells
how the German sledge-hammer ad-
suddenly encountered a stone
wall.
The invaders, previously numeric-
ally stronger than the allies, met their
match and their sudden rush into
France was stopped short.
A few days. of skirmishing for a
change of position, and the allies sud-
denly leaped to the offensive, driving
the Germans northward toward the
frontiers which only a few days be-
fore they had crossed with rapid
rhythmic, swinging strides.
Field Marshal French reports that
the Britons held the invaders Sept. 3.
on the south of the river Marne. Be-
ing unable to advance further in that
direction toward Paris, the Germans
turned southeastward, Sept. 4, and met
little effective resistance until Sept. z.
On that day the whole allied line sud-
denly assumed the offensive. Shortly
afterward the German retreat to the
northeast commenced.
General French pays a glowing trib-
ute to the work of the British aviation
corps, asserting that it has proved it's
superiority over the enemy in actual
work in the field.
