 CAUSES COMMENT

LONDON. June o. That President Wilson's complete diplomatic victory over Germany and the settled belief that he will also win In the nego- tiations with the Allies have unQucs. tlonably added to his prestige throughout Europe. In the neutral countries. particularly the scandina' vian nations and Holland. he is re- garded as the strongest force in the worlds politics at the present time. This feeling has gained ground since the announcement that Ger. many looks fayorably upon him as mediator for peace.
 It is conceded here that should his fame continue In the ascendant tiat all the countries at war will be compelled to give very serious at. tention to any move that he might make in the interests Of peace. Pub lie opinion will require that. The hope In London and Paris is that he win not move until there have been greater developments in the war situation on ;he western and eaatern fronts
 The probable attitude of the Ann erican President as to peace terms is causing a good deal of speculation. It is conceded that 1t is but a mat ter of time when he will move, and it is believed that he will have some very pronounced ideas which he will endeavor to weave into the peace treaties whom the negotiations reach the making point Ii is gen. orally predicted that he will seek smnller military establishments.
