was sent out by wireless today and

Sir: We come in this time of trou-
BILE, not to add to your burdens, but
to help lift them; not to consider
which nations are most to blame for
the disaster that has befallen Europe,
but to end the strife; not to intrude
ourselves upon your national life and
national ideas, but rather with an
earnest desire to understand them and
heartfelt wish to aid in realizing
them.
1.-The love Of country for which ev-
cry day tens of thousands of lives are
sacrificed is the same in every land.
Your nation, like the people of all
the other belligerent countries. is fight
ing for its national existence and its
lbest national traditions, and so there
can. be no irreconcilable differences.
Such common ideals surely must at4
ford a basis upon which to establish
magnanimous and honorable peace
"The time has come to stop the
oloodshed, to save the people from
further slaughter and the civilization
of the world from anarchy and ruin.
Has not war been tried enough in
sixteen months of fighting? Is it not
proven that war cannot solve the
problem, but that it leads only to loss
and misery? Must lives be crushed
and wives and mothers bereaved be-
fore we recognize that Europe is
bleeding TO death and that the griev-
Gus wound must be stanched?
I'VE neutrals are about to join in a
conference which shall without delay
frame and submit simultaneously to
you and all the other belligerent ma
tions proposals as a basis for discus
sion leading to the final settlement.
Therefore, we do earnestly entreat you
and the rulers of all the other war
ring nations to declare an Immediate
| truce. Let the armies stand still
where they are. Then let negotia-
tions proceed SO that the soldiers may
be delivered from another bitter win.

there is no other way to end the war
except by mediation and discussion,
why waste one more precious human
life? For the sake Of humanity,
