eve all want peace. Nothing could
add more to the happiness of our
Christmas holidays than to feel that
it was on the way. But think it will
generally be conceded that to want
peace and to secure it are two differ
ent propositions. The one is a ques-
ton of sentiment, the other requires
vast amount of judgment. Ie re-
peat, do not find fault with the pres
ident. But l want to be informed
myself when I take part in the pro-
ceedings.
81 sometimes think we do not ap-
preciate what this war is about. We
are liable to convince both sides in
Europe that we simply want peace,
regardless of the worth of it, the re-
liability Of it, or the honor of it. If
such an opinion Of our attitude, self
ish, superficial and Indifferent of the
ms in Europe, we will
nave but little influence when the
vital hour comes for action. | sim

WASHINGTON GROWING MORE
CERTAIN THAT WAR IS
NEARING AN END
By John Edwin Nevin,

Washington, Dec. 21.-The convic-
tion that peace in Europe was prob
able tonight because of President
Wilson's not to belligerents and neu-
trails is growing here in the nations
capital.
Administration officials and diplo-
mats of experience so declare. They
base this belief on their knowledge
that the presidents frank declara-
tlons of the desire Of the people of
the country that the belligerents
frankly proclaim what they are fight
ing for must have great weight in
Great Britain. And, after all, Off
cials and diplomats alike agree that
the final decision is in England's
hands.
Germany must accept the sugges-
ton of the head of the greatest neu-
trail state. In effect she already has
aVowed her desire to end the war
and her willingness to make conces-
sions to bring about that result. Her
allies will follow her lead to any
length.
But whether the entente powers
can be influenced to cooperate with
real peace conferences still is very
very uncertain.
France and Russia are expected to
resent the American note. Naturally,
they canot look with equanimity on
comforting with an enemy whose
armed forces hold portions of their
territory. But Great Britain is in a
different position and officials here
are hopeful that she will see the ad-
visibility of giving the most serious
consideration to the suggestions ia

thered by President Wilson. The
president hopes so and Ambassador
Page will be directed to use all of his
influence to attain that end. And it
is admitted that Great Britain can
influence all of her allies for any plan
that meets her approval.
Officials at the white house and
State Department said that the pres
ident now will "mark time" and
await the responses from his note
before even considering whether any
further step will be possible. Up to
tonight no word had been received
of the manner in which the note was
received. 1t was understood to have
been delivered to the British and
French foreign offices today and
State Department officials said that
it should reach all of the chancellor
les to which it was adressed not
later than tonight.
The British and French govern
ments had not yet made the note
public in their respective countries so
far tonight. 1t was suggested in dip
lomatic circles that probably.a cabi-
net council and an exchange of opin-
ion between the allies would precede
its being published in any of the en-
tente countries. 1t is expected that
the note will be published in Ger
many as soon as it is delivered in
Berlin.
The suggestion was made in en-
tente quarters tonight that it was
likely that the joint reply of the al
lies to the Teutonic peace ,sugges-
tions would be completed before any
action was taken on the Wilson note
in view of the presidents emphatic
disavowal of any connection between
the two propositions. If this is so
it may be week or ten days before
any reply is received from the en-
tentc.
