the course to be pursued was made
known after the President had con

after a prolong Il Cabinet meeting.
1t was stated that the delay In for.

messages received from Germany.

Since the first note arrived, the

Will Resign His Office If the
President Is Reelected

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE opinion
prevails in Washington that the ma
tons chief executive will be served
by a new private secretary after March
next regardless of whether Wilson
or Hughes is the victor in the ap-
preaching election. If Mr., Hughes is
elected he will bring with him to
Washington a man of his own selec-
ton from among the many efficient
and eligible workers whose acquain-
lance he has made in the course of his
public career. In the event of Presi-
dent Wilson's reelection it is regarded
as a foregone conclusion that the pres

are they willing in any circumstances
to state them except directly to inc
entente It can not be emphasized toe
strongly that the central powers arc
unfriendly to mediation , 49,.
That was made clear few DAYS
ago by Baron Won Dem Busche rad
denhausen. the new underseeretary
for foreign affairs, when in a semi
official interview he stated that the
bringing about of peace was soieiS
| the affair of the belligerents.
The safeguarding of peace IN inc
future is a matter regarded by the
central powers as absolutely dlstinc.
and separatc from the conclusion oil
this war. And they are Wiling tha'
IN this the United States, and posi-
blv ell other neutrals, should take al
important part. The reason Tor TINS
is their strong belief that the neu-
trails, particularly the United States
taxe a vital interest in Germany's pet
aim. the freedom Of the seas, the
safeguarding of which by ironclad m
ternational convention would preclude
the repetition of the blockade.
Political observers here who are
we'll informed of the aims OF Ger
many's peace diplomacy last night
oxnressed the conviction that Will
hcmstrasse. as the result of yester-
DAVIS note, looks forward to an inVi-
tation from one or several neutral
countries to both sets of bclllgerents
to send delegates to talk over inform
allv the conditions of peace, and thus
pave the way for formal conference.
Information from an absolutely
trustworthy source indicates that
Snain is about to extend this invita-
lion. 1t is pointed out that the Span
ish government has deliberately held
aloof from all previous official and
unofficial exchanges Of views regard
ing peace, awaiting tangible sug-
pustion from either side. This Is
now offered in today's note from the
central powers, it is argued.

German Opinion Of Peace Not'
Changes in a Few Hours.

oPiihoh VI
Changes in a Few Hours.
Berlin, Dec. 27.-German opinion
Of President Wilson's peace note has
veered almost over night. 1t is no
longer regarded as inopportune and
an impeachment TO Gcrmany's own
peace efforts as perhaps an attempt
to bring about settlement earlier in
the war might have been considered
On the contrary, responsible circles
are now inclined to regard the Presl-
dents proposition as of great help to
Berlin at the present stage.
Although The speeches Of Pokrow-
ski, BRAND and Lloyd George--espec-
ially that Of the latter-are regarded
in Germany generally as affronting
and detrimental to peace overtures,
the parties Gil the left and govern
mcnt wings have decided to wait for
an official answer before taking ac-
ton.
If the reply Of the entente nations
offers the possibility Of Germany's en-
tcring peace negotiations without hui
initiation it will not be rejected.
