Washington. May 21-rresident Will
sons limitations in his speech at

stderation to prospects or peace have
aroused much speculation here as to
the policy he will pursue,
It Is understood that the President

than three persons,

dents speech before the league of en-
forced peace here next Saturday when,
II has been announced he will break
his long silence on the subject OF peace.
The impression given out by those
close to him Is that he viii outline his
views in a definite way.
Whether the President Is preparing
to make overtures to the beligerents
is still conJectural. 1t is assumed that
II this is his plan he alrenedy has
some tangible hint from abroad on
which to proceed
A report current In official quarters
today was that Col. Roosevelt has been
considering making a peace proposal
to the beliigerents, either directly or
indirectly. It was said. however he
has no intention OF disseminating his
vigorous preparedness campaign. one
phase of the report was that origi-
nally he intended to uncover his plan
IN Detroit.
II Was denied TO-DAY that the Presi
dent is contemplating sending Col
f. NJ House. his confidential adviser
abroad again on . peace mission. There
have been suppositions in some quar-
ters that when the President deemed
the time opportune for renewing his
tender of friendly offices TO the war
ring nations he would send Col House
to Europe as special envoy.
