WHITE HOUSE SILENT

At the White House no comment whatever was made on the note itself nor the statements by Secretary Lans- ing. The German embassy gave no outward evidences of concern over the sudden developments.
 Entente diplomats. at first at an ut ter loss how to handle the unexpect- ed situation, became convinced that clearer understanding of the neces- sities and purposes of the United States proved that their fear of move favorable to Germany was not con- templated and that this country would not try to force peace on Europe. The view grew that the United States feared that unless the peace proposals go through now a period of ruthless ness and retaliation may set in on both sides which will inevitably force this country into action

STOP NONsENsICAL JEALOUSY

Stop all this nonsensical jealousy; get results; what difference does it make about my department when you have none? Work together, like big men, for the best interest of this city. If the city gets results, what difference does it make as to who is directly responsible? Do you nn know the people will properly place shs credit, and if you will all quit this Jealousy and do your duty to the city. ao you not know you will all get praise?

NOT PROPOSING PEACE

"The President is not proposing peace, he is not even offering mediation. He is merely proposing that soundings be taken in order that we may learn, the neutral nations with the belligereAt, how near the haven of peace may be for which all mankind longs with an intense and in- creasing longing. He believes that the spirit and the objects which he seeks will be understood by all concerned and he confidently hopes for a response which will bring a new light into the affairs of the world.'
 The note to the entente group will be deliv cred to Great Britain, France Italy, Japan, Russia. Belgium, Montenegro, Portugal, Rumania and Servia. That to the central allies will be delivered to Germany, Austria Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria.
 It is being delivered to all neutral gov ernnlents for their information.

cate the possibility of our being forced into the war. That possibility ought to serve as restraining and sobering force, safeguarding American rights It may also serve to force an earlier con- clusion of the war. Neither the President nor myself. regard this note as a peace note; it is merely an effort to get the belligerents to define the end for which they are fighting"
 When word of what the Secretary of State had said spread throughout the capital it created the greatest con- sternation in official circles and among the foreign diplomats, many of whom were calling at the state de- partment to receive their copies of the note dispatched to their capitals.
 It became apparent that the secre- tary's statement was not fully ap- proved al the White House and that there was question as to the wisdom of making any comment that might be regarded as an addition to the note. The White House was concerned lest any word reach the foreign capitals to be construed as indicating that the American note was anything but what it indicated on it's face So. after a conference between President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, the second statement was formally prepared and distributed at the state department

SECOND STATEMENT

II have learned from several quarters that 8 wrong impression was made by the statement which I made this morning and I wish to correct that impression.
 My intention was to suggest the very direct and honest intent of which this country as a neutral country has in the possible terms of the belligerents may have in mind, and I did not intend to in innate that the government was consid- ering any change in it's policy of neutral ity, which 1t has consistently pursued in the face of constantly increasing diff culties.
 T regret that my words were open to any other conviction, as I now realize they were. l think the whole tone and language to the belligerents show the pur- pose without further comment on my part. It is needless to say that I am un- reservedly in support of that purpose and hope to see it accomplished ."

diate opportunity for a comparison of views as to the terms which must precede those ultimate arrangements for the peace of the world, which all desire and in which the neutral nations as well as those at war are ready to play their full responsible part. If the contest must con tinued to proceed toward undefned ends by slow attrition until the one group of belligerents or the other is exhausted if million after million of human lives must continue to be offered up until on the one side or the other there are no more 10 offer, if resentments must be kindled that can never cool and despairs engen- dered from which there can be no re- covery. hopes of peace and of the willing concert of free peoples will be rendered vain and idle
 The life of the entire world has been profoundly affected. Every part of the great family of mankind has felt the bur den and terror of this unprecedented con test of arms. No nation in the civilized world can be said in truth to stand out side it's influence or to be safe against it's disturbing effects. And yet the concre.e objects for which it is being waged have never been definitely stated.
 WANTS DEFINITE TERMS
 "The leaders of the several bellgerents have, as has been said, stated those ob- jects in general terms. But, stated in general terms, they seem the same on beth sides Never yet have the authori- tative spokesmen of either side avowed the precise objects which would, if at tained satisfy them and their people that the war had been fought out The world has been left to conjecture what definite results, what actual exchange of guaran- ties, what political or territorial changes or readjustments, what stage of military success, even, would bring the war to an end
 Tt may be that peace IS nearer than we know; that the terms which the bel lgerents on the one side and on the other would deem it necessary to insist upon are not so irreconciliable as some have feared that an interchange of views would clear the way at least for confer ence and make the permanent concord of the nations a hope of the immediate fu- ture, q concert of nations immediately practicable.
