RESTORING PEACE.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Aug. 1O-Acknowledgmen
of the offers of mediation made by
President Wilson, delayed since the
opening of the war by the uncertain
condition of cable communication
abroad, are coming in from all sides.
The powers unanimously express their
appreciation of the United States Of
fer.
The official replies to the offer sug-
gest that they will favor any plan
coming from the United States which
will settle the European tangle with
out forcing anyone into humiliating
position.
Absence of News Causes Hitch.
1t is further intimated that the pro-
posed mediation should be delayed
until full news of the respective posi-
tons of the powers concerned shall
have come to light.
The absence of news from the front
makes it impossible at present to
formulate a plan that would meet the
situation of the combatants.
Italy is especially favorable to
President Wilson's suggestion. AS
surance comes from Rome that the
Italian government will lend official
support to any peace plans from the
United States.
China Expresses Appreciation.
From high Chinese officials comes a
similar assurance of assistance and
congratulation.
Francis Dyke Acland. foreign under
secretary, gave expression to British
appreciation for the kind and cour-
teous treatment accorded by Ameri-
can embassies to British subjects in
foreign lands.
He hoped that through the United
States 1t would be possible before
long to exchange British subjects in
Germany for German subjects in
Great Britain.
