over the price of ltAlianX \ neutrality
were productive OF rumors that Inn
pending Developments might pave the
way to termination Of the war. Il
appeared that the representatives Of
the belligerents were taking hand In
the Austro- Italian affair and that both
parties to the big quarrel realized the
tremendous effect on their fortunes the
ultimate decision of Italy would pro-
duce.
Rome to Be Storm Center.
Little by little the inside story Of the
events at the Italian capital last week
is coming out in official and semi of
fcial dispatches received here These
occurrences were the talk Of the diplo-
matte colony last night and the pre-
diction is made that Rome will furnish
the next most interesting development,
in the great war game within the mex,
fortnight.
1t appears from information received
by the Germans, as we'll as by the rep
resentatives Of the allies in Washing
ton, that hitch occurred in the nego-
tiations which caused the Associated
Press to cable the intelligence tina,
steps in contemplation might brina
about an actual peace parley. There
are differing versions here Of the causes
of the hitch in negotiations.
From German source comes the
statement that when 1t appeared that
italy had decided to remain neutral the
British and French ambassador caused
Prince Won vuelow, the German am
bassador, to be sounded upon the con-
ditions on which Germany would be
willing to call q truce for the discussion
Of peace terms. To the Intermediates
Prince Won Buelow returned the an
swcr quoted In the foregoing.
Germany Makes Many Conditions.
It II asserted that there was an ex-
tended discussion Of the German atti-
tude by Prince Won Buelow and the in
termediaries in which the kaiser's am
bassador was drawn into a statement
Of the price Of the evacuation OF Bel
gium which his government would be
willing to consider. Prince Won Buelow
- quoted AZ having stated that there
are several conditions Of the evacuation
Of Belgium 70 which the allies must
agree before Germany would be will
ing to assent to q truce for the further
discussion Of peace terms. These cons
ditions in substance were:
Restoration to Germany Of such Of
its colonies as have been seised by the
allies.
Cession to Germany OF the Belgian
Congo or, Of equally desirable British
or French territory In Africa.
Neutralixations Of the Belgian coast
May Continue Negotiations.
According to the account derived
from German sources the intermediar-
les who were endeavoring to bring
about . truce for the purpose Of peace
parleying carried Prince Won Beulow's
conditions hack 20 the British and
French ambassadors and the action Of
the allies upon the terms has not been
made known.
