CAPITAL OFFICIALS
GREATLY SURPRISED

Washington, Dec % r. The latest
development In the rapidly moving
world events toward discussion OF
peace was not permitted to become
known until the notes were well on
their way 10 the American ambassa-
dors in the beiligerent capitals and
probably already in the hands Of some
Of them.
1t was a most distinct surprise to
all official Washington, which had
been led to believe that with the for.
mai transmittaf of the proposals OF
the central powers the offices OF the
United states would await further
moves between the belligerents them.
selves, and that certainly, in view Of
the speech of Premier Lloyd-George
and the announcements in Russia,
France and Italy. further action by
neutrals would depend upon the next
careful and delicate moves of the
belligerents
The whole tenor OF official opinion
throughout Washington, when the
presidents action became known, was
that II immeasurahly improved the
prospects fer some sort of exchanges
looking toward an approach to peace
discussions between the belligerents.
without impairing the position OF the
United States should they finally be
unable to find a ground upon which
TO approach one another.

caused by the presidents action in
urging world peace conference ON

Now | am positive there will be

storff said.
In the embassies of the entente pow
ers a very different feeling was en-.
countered. There it was distinctly
felt and stated that. whatever Mr.
Wilson's good intentions. the unmis-
taxable fact was that his action is a
direct reinforcement of the German
position
In entente circles particular EN-.
phasis was laid upon a passage of the
note in which yelled threat was dis
cerned.
This passage asserted the right OF
the United States to interest itself in
peace proposals at this time lest the
situation of neutral nations. now ex-
ceedingly hard TO endure, be rendered
altogether intolerable."
The Interpretation plainly in the
minds of entente sympathizers is that
the United States might take means
of its own to force a conclusion of the

Chicago Dec 22--It was a stormy
time in the wheat pit during the first
fifteen minutes following news OF
President Wilson's note TO the bellig-
erent powers The confusion was so
great that numerous instances were
Witnessed where brokers plunged
through the crowd as If on the foot
ball field and grabbed each other by
the shoulders to shout into each 9th

Buying on the part of the strong
houses quickly brought about sem
blance of steadiness, however. and
In less than half an hour the selling
stampede appeared TO be at an end,
with the market about cents down.
Renewed weakness in wheat prices
was a speedy consequence of a state
ment by Secretary Lansing that the
situation for neutrals was becoming
increasingly critical and that the Unit.
ed States itself was being drawn near
the verge Of war.
Selling broadened out anew on ac-
count of the statement and there was

Country Near War,
Lansing Says.
OUR RIGHTS INVOLVED
Officials Of United States En-.
titled to Know Aims Of Each
BeINgerent.

Washington, Dec %. - Secretary
Lansing, in a statement explaining the
sending of President Wilson's notes to
the belligerents, declared it was be
cause the situation for neutrals was
becoming increasingly critical and
the United States itself was being
drawn near the verge of war Mr.
Lansing authorized the following state
ment
The reasons for the sending of the
note were as follows
1T is not our material interest We
had in mind when the note was sent
but more and more our own rights are
becoming involved by the belligerents
ON both sides, so that the situation is
becoming increasingly critical
Il mean by that, that we are draw
ing nearer the verge of war ourselves
and therefore we are entitled to know
exactly what each belligerent seeks in
order that we may regulate our con
duct in future.
No nation has been sounded Nc
consideration of the German overtures
or of the speech ef, Iloyd-George was
taken into account in the formulation
of the document The only thing the
oyertures did was to delay it a few
days. 1t was not decided to send ii
until Monday.
Not in Aid of Germans.
"Of course, the difficulties that face
the president were that it might be
construed as movement toward
lures. He specifically denies in the
document itself that that was the
fact
Count Won Bernstorif, German am.
bassador, conferred with Secretary
Lansing after the latter had issued his
statement, and it is understood the
secretary explained President VIII
sons action in addressing the bellig
erents
THE sending of this note will indi
cate the possibility of our being forced
into the war, said Secretary Lansing
after the call of Ambassador Berns
torff. THAT possibility ought to serve
as a restraining and absorbing force
safeguarding American rights. II
may also serve to force an earlier con
clusion of the war
Neither the president nor myself
regard this note as peace note; ii Is
merely an effort to get the belligerents
to define the end for which they are
fighting
A resolution strongly endorsing
President Wilson's peace note, intro
duced in the senate by Senator Hitch,
cock, was sent to the foreign relations
committee on objection by Senator
Borah that the senate had not had
sufficient opportunity to consider the
note.
