Possibilities of Mediation.
It is becoming increasingly probablr
that certain influences in the United
States will in the near future draw the
Wilson administration into the position
of a mediator, SO that the American
government may aid the belligerent ma
lions in making peace. Abiding to this
subject, Secretary Bryan remarked that
it was too early to talk of mediation.
In view of the attitude of Russia.

seems likely that the war will be

France. Great Britain and Japan that

The original forecast of Lord Kitch-
ener that the war would last three
years seems to be an extreme view, for
the reason that the struggle cannot be

Bankers Efforts for Peace.
Although the European war has been
only seven weeks in progress, powerful
influences for peace are being exerted
in high financial circles. Leading
bankers on both sides Of the Atlantic
are concerned in a movement which is
being made to bring about cessation
of hostilities at an early date. This
effort does not have any sanction from
the German government or any Of the
allies On the part of Great Britain, as
well as the other powers in the triple
entente. there Is determination to con-
time hostilities until Germany'S power
of resistance Is ended and all danger
from Germany's militarism is over.
This was the plain intimation made
70 the American ambassador by Sir
Edward Grey. who said that the war
had not been sought by Great Britain.
He added that full reparation must be
made to Belgium for the violation OF
her neutrality and FOR the spollation OF
that country during its occupation by
German troops.
Further than this, Great Britain was
not inclined to consider proposals from
Germany when that country still held
