NEW YORK, Sept. 10. - "I
cannot state that peace is certain,
bLt important news from Wash
ingtOn may be looked for within
a very short time"
The foregoing statement was
made today by a former member
of the American diplomatic corps.
For obvious reasons he asked that
his name be not revealed.
Subsequently, it was learned
that Jacob Schiff, head of the firm
of Kuhn, Loeb s. Co., which is
trying to effect peace, had gone
to Washington.
BERLIN, via Amsterdam. Sept 10.
-Financiers who control the money
marts Of the world are attempting to
bring a speedy end to the European
war. They are exerting pressure in all
the capitals. Whether they will be
successful is still problematical. but
semi-oficial reports have been cur
rent here for two days that Germany
would be willing to listen in the near
future to proposals for mediation pro-
vided her opponents would first accept
such proposals. 1t can be stated that
the German position is this:
The offensive campaign against the
French and British has been success
full, the defense effort in East Prussia
has been successful in repelling the
Russians and German troops have
been successful in their invasion of
Russian Poland. Therefore Germany
feels that her position is such that
Great Britain, France and Russia
should be the first approached with
mediatory proposals from a neutral
power.
When they have acted on such pro-
pOsals Germany will decide what
course she will follow. The declara-
ton made at the beginning Of the war
that Germany had been forced to de-
fend herself is constantly reiterated
here.
Give Austrians Aid
Practically no news is given out
here as to the campaign involving the
armies OF Austria and Russia. 1t is
known that Austria has been given
German reinforcements, but in what
number has not been revealed.
The Berlin papers are filled with
charges Of Russian brutalities. One
printed a report today that wilhelm
Gaedeke, German consul at Abo, Fin
land. had been shot as a spy after
being subjected to torture in an at
tempt TO make him confess that he
had secured information for the Ger
man government as to Russian mill
tary movement.
It was officially announced today
that German troops on the eastern
frontier had captured 1000 Russian
guards and three detachments OF cos
sacks. II was also stated that the
German troops released from the op-
erations around Maubeuge by the fall
Of that fortress, had been sent 10 join
the forces OF Gen. Won Kluck. (The
fall Of Maubeuge has not yet been ad-
Taitted by F'rance.)
The war Office announced today that
because Of reports having reached the
authorities Of wounded prisoners be-
ing mistreated all commanders had
been notified that wounded soldiers
Of the enemy should be given the same
care as that accorded 10 injured Ger
