GERARD'S VISIT TO
KAISER INFORMAL
Belief Expressed in Washington
that Conference Concerned Pro-
posed Peace Parleys.
GOSSIP ABOUT THE SITUATION

WASHINGTON, oct. 2S.-Ambas-
sador Gerard's recent conference
with Emperor William is causing
much speculation in official quarters
here. Secretary Lansing stated to-
day that the ambassador had not
been directed to visit the emperor
and that no report Of the conference
had been received.
The possibility that Emperor will
liam might have taken advantage OF
the opportunity to express to Ambas-
sador Gerard Germany's views on
peace was generally talked of here
today, particularly as a consequence
OF published reports that Germany
soon intended to make known the
basis on which II would make peace.
Reports that Prince Won Buelow. for
mer German chancellor and ambassador
70 Italy. was to visit King Alfonso OF
spain. and later the United states have
attracted much attention here because
OF the belief that he might be entrusted
with the task of explaining Germany's
viewpoint
President Wilson has made clear that
until one OF the belligerants indicated
plainly desire to accept mediation. there
would be no initiative on the part OF the
American government.
The fact that King Alfonso OF Spain
is mentioned as a mediator Is regarded
here as significant because for some time
It has been indicated that the King OF
Spain was desirous OF acting In harmony
with President Wilson when the time for
making peace arrives.
