Peace Terms Suggested

Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. 17.--Germany
has suggested informally that the
United States should undertake to
elicit from Great Britain, France
and Russia the statement of the
terms under which the allies would
make peace.
The suggestion was made by the
Imperial Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg to Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin as the result of an inquiry
sent by the American government to
learn whether Emperor William was
desirous of discussing peace as Count
Won Bernsdorff, the German Ambas-
sador, recently had reported
No reply was made by Emperor
William himself nor did the Imper-
ial Chancellor state whether or not
he spoke on behalf of his monarch
Ambassador Gerard cabled Presi-
dent Wilson the Chancellor's re-
marks from recollection which sub
stantially were as follows:
Germany was appreciative of the
American governments interest and
offer of services in trying to make
seace. Germany did not want war
but had it forced upon her Even
if she defeats France, she must like
wise vanquish both Great Britain
and Russia, as all three have made
an agreement not to make peace ex-
ccpt by common consent. Similarly
England has announced that she in
tends to fight to the limit of her
endurance, In view of that deter
minatlon on the part of Great
Britain. the United States should
get proposals Of peace from the
allies.
Germany could accept only n
lasting peace, one that would make
her people secure against further
attack.
"To accept mediation now would
be interpreted by the allies as a sign
of weakness on the part of the Ger
mans and would be misunderstood
by the German people. who. having
made great sacrifices, have the right
to demand guarantees of security" "
Ambassador Gerard added only
tho brief comment that he himself
thought the way might possibly be
opened to mediation.
