"L'arm6e italienne a-t-elle lieu
de redouter un emprunt du terri

celle de lattaque de la Suisse par
des COLONIES italiennes. Que la

WASHINGTON, April l6.--The

overtures looking toward peace.
made by Count won Bernstorff. Ger
man ambassador TO the United
states. Unless Won Bernstorff makes
his propositions in some more formal
and Official fashion. they will be L.
nored. They are several reasons for
Tits: the chief ones. however. being
that President Wilson has been as
sured I'm definite and unmistakable
terms by the British. Russian and
French ambassadors that the terms
OF the unofficial proposals for peace
put out by Won Bernstorff are entire
~ unsatisfactory and that the pres
ent Is no time TO enter on vague and
Indefinite pour parlours.
Despite oficiai denials. II Is learn
ed that Won, Bernstorff himself Is
responsible for the reports circulat-
ed In Washington in regard TO Der.
Inns willingness TO consider peace
proposals. With the understanding
that he should not be quoted, these
proposals were published. They were
substantially as follows: Cd That
Berlin would not sue for peace; GU
that the subject might be discussed
on the basis OF return TO the
status quo at the time war was de-
clared CD that Germany IL unwill-
Ing TO consider paying an indemnity
Tor the damage to Belgium; CD that
belgium be evacuated by the Ger.
man armies; (5) that Russia shall
have a way out through the Oar.
danelles and that proper arrange
ment should be made by Germany
with Turkey TO accomplish this re-
suit: 90 that Alsace and Lorraine
must remain German territory; (D
that Germany shall purchase the
belgium Congo for reasonable
sum: 81 that In case OF future wars,
The Detroit times., 1915-04-16

shall not be interfered with; and
that other matters should be left to
future adjustment
The information which comes to
the White House Is TO the effect
that any effort TO open up peace ne
gotiations on the basis OF these In
formal overtures would be q waste
OF time and would merely complicate
the diplomatic situation. In the irst
piace, the British. Russian and
French authorities assure the pres
ident that no negotiations can go
forward except with the consent OF
all the allies, and there are many
conditions mentioned In these infor.
NAL suggestions which would stand
In the beginning as permanent bar
uefs TO any possible understanding.
England would insist. for example,
on an indemnity for Belgium and
the permanent assurance as to the
neutrality Of that country. but the
enc thing which Is controlling In the
Thought OF the allies - the datarnia-

part OF Germany, which they main

end, they are not willing TO delay

lures. Is
Discussing the latter In private
and informal way. II Is understood
that the French and English do not
regard these Won Bernstorff propos-
ais as seriously made. II Is suggest
cd by them that the Germans have
put them out for their effect on pub
lie opinion In tho United States.
They are intended, itis charged. as
an Offset TO the prevailing belief that
Germany has been not only responsi-
bic for beginning the trouble, but
from the start has been unwilling to
consider peace proposals by the
United States. When President VIII
son attempted to mediate at the be-
ginning OF the trouble. the German
authorities were as determined and
as outspoken as the allies In reject
ing the good Offices OF the United
states our secretary Of state was
assured that the Germans had no
doubt as TO the successful outcome
OF their venture. and that only when
their arms were crowned with sue
cess would they consider terms OF
peace.
At recent dinner--a private SO
cial occasion--Count Won Bernstorff
was quoted as stating that while the
time for peace negotiations has now
arrived, Il was because Germany has
been victorious. What the Germans
started TO do. he assured his friends.
