Rumored Terms Germany
Would Be Willing to
Consider
ALLIED POWERS
TO BE ADVISED
No Extension Of Territory,
Evacuation of Belgium
Without Indemnity

Washington, d. c., April l0.-Rumors
of peace in Europe are once more In the
air. There is reason to believe that feel
ers are being thrown out by some of the
governments involved to find out how
the land lies and whether the time is
suspicious for serious peace efforts. Al
though skepticism is felt in some of the
best informed quarters here as to wheth-
er peace Is possible for many months,
keen interest has been aroused in the
fact that this government has been in
formally made acquainted with the terms
which Germany would be willing to con-
slider
The information as to these terms
comes from high sources.
This government has been informally
advised that Germany does not expect
to crush her opponents, but that she will
not sue for peace. She expects the allies
to tire of the conflict when their armies
have smashed away hopelessly at the
German lines, have found them impreg-
nable, and have wasted men and money
The terms which Germany, according
to the information presented this govern
ment, would be willing to consider in
clude no extension of territory by any
OF the belligerents, restoration of coll
onies as before the war; especially in
Africa; German evacuation of Belgium,
without indemnity from Germany, but
payment to Belgium of a reasonable sum
for the Congo Free State; a general
international agreement establishing
freedom of the seas, and immunity of
all commerce from attack in war.
Much comment was caused by the dis
closure of the terms Germany is willing
to consider and of the fact that the
kaiser no longer has hopes of pounding
his opponents into the earth. This means
he has no hope of reaching Paris or pene-
trating far into Russia. Ii means that
Germany will be content in the main
To hold her lines and fight on the defen-
sive or offensive. preserving German soil
from invasion.
IL appears Germany would be willing
10 see restored the status quo before the
war. IL must not be overlooked, how
ever, that these are the terms Germany
permits TO become known. ON the the
DRY that when a man trades he does not
AT first put forth the utmost he is will |
ing to do, IL may be assumed Germany
would make greater concessions than
those here indicated. II is understood 4
this government will informally advise
the other governments what Germany is
willing to do, the president, if not urging
peace, at least standing ready to help
along anything, however remotely trend
ing in that direction.

SAYS u. S. LIKES
JAPAN OUTLOOK
General Impression Is Given That JAP
anese- Chinese Negotiations Are Near
ing Satisfactory Conclusion.

Washington, ID. c., April l0.---AlthougI
very reticent about discussing details
the general impression given yesterday
by officials of the government conversant
with the progress of the Japanese Chi.
nese negotiations was that they were
nearing a conclusion which would prove
to be generally satisfactory.
According to official advices, the con-
ferences of the last few days at Picking
have cleared up many of the misunder-
standings over the meaning of some of
the Japanese demands and have brought
about substantial progress toward an
agreement on the points under discus
sion.
Officials declined to comment on Pc
king dispatches giving outlines of the
American note TO Japan and the latter
reply, but SO encouraging did the nego-
tiations seem that some of those familiar
with their general trend expressed the
belief that no further exchange of notes
with Japan would be necessary to safe
guard the American policy in the far
East.

communication of any kind from the out
side world since Jan. Is.
"The chaotic conditions in Mexico have
worn out the patience of European pow
ers,' says Mr. Huges. "Some morning
after some internationl inmident, the
American people will awake to find
themselves in arms against the Next
cans. Foreign powers have reached the
limit of their patience. They are sick
OF it all. The Brazilian minister at Mex
leo City is disguested with his charge
OF American interests there. He tells
the truth about Mexico and the Next
cans and about the atrocities against
foreigners. He tolerates misrepresenta'
lions because he is a diplomat. He does
not wish to rupture the amicable rela-
tions between his government and the
government of the United States.
"The American people may expect
either the resignation of the Brazilian
minister from his charge of American
interests in Mexico, or Washington's
transfer of that charge to some other
diplomatic chancellery in Mexico. His
health has been shattered by caring for
the interests of country whose admin
is ungrateful. His own gov
eminent gave him vacation a year ago.
Since that time he has been devoting
eighteen hours day to the labors heap
ed upon him by Washington. He is
diplomat; more, he is gentleman, eour-
ageous, honest and truthful. If the peo-
pie of the United States could see the
notes he has sent to Washington they
would erect a monument to the memory
Of Cardoso de 0liyeria."
