In session lasting for thrle
hours, President Wilson ana int
cabinet discussed Germany's p.o
posals for peace, and the attltuae
to be taken by the United States II
transmitting them to the entente bel
ligerents.
1t was said by other officials that
formal note of transmittal probably
would express qualification OF the
Aberocan government at being the
medium of an offer of peace, and p.s
sibly in some way might express hops
for its careful consideration. MIR
Wilson Will not take any formal steps
looking toward peace until after Lloyc
Georges speech in the British house
of commons next Tuesday.
Meantime, through the diplomatic
representatives in the capitals OF the
entente powers, the government vii
keep in close touch with the situation
Il is known to be the view OF mos'
cabinet members that the government
should move cautiously and do nothing
to imperil it's influence for peace.
More of the neutral diplomats have
asked their governments to authorize
them to assure the president OF sup
port in any move designed to bring
about consideration of the offer. Fol
diplomatic reasons they decline tc
permit disclosure of their identity al
this time.
1t is understood that in the case o!
each neutral government the course
of action will be developed by the
respective cabinets and rulers.
Among the neutrals the view was
reflected that the advantages of sup
porting the president in any action
he may take would be twofold. Neu
trail diplomats are certain that the
weight of the collective opinions anc
wishes of many neutra's, headed by
The united States, necessarily woulc
demand the greatest consideration. Al
so should the joint action not hrng
about consideration Of the prop Is
President Wilson would be left f-e=
to act on his own initiative later.
The president is known to attach
great importance to the possibility O.
establishing an association of nation
to maintain, peace.
The authorized statement at the Ge"'
man embassy that consideration of a
least partial disarmament would b.:
one Of the things taken up at a pace
conference attracted the widest atten
ton among government officials and
diplomats. It was accounted doubl!
interesting because Germany had re
peatedly refused such suggestion, even
to the point, it was said, of threaten
ing to withdraw from the second
Hague conference if the question were
pressed.
Attention was called to the result
ing economic crisis, the continual
danger lurking in big military and ma

PEACE TERMS MODERATE

The fact that Germany s&i
