Tor Germany to make another cautious
advance which finally NAV bring ont
the minimum basis of contention.
German embassy officials were optimis
tlc because the British premier did nor
iiatiy refuse to enter into a discussion. Ar
the same time they deprecated the sug-
sestlon that definite peace terms might
pe set forth in formal notes The Cor
man view, as reflected here, is that moth
ing can be achieved by public discussion,

"ei''serents is bound to ask more than it

should Great Britain ask it, be willing to
make some preliminary statement of nrin.
cipie regarding terms, especially if failure
TO take such action should be the on1v
oarrier to the Entente agreeing to send
representatives to a conference. On the
other hand. great emphasis is placed unon
the statement that if the Entente should
decline to send such representatives To

powers, Germany and her allies womb
regard it as a refusal to talk of peace
Germany. it is said here, will answer

ton does not fatty refuse the Teutonic
proposal to enter into negotiations. No
secret was made of the fact that Germa.
ny will use every means known to diplo-
macy in her effort to bring about a con-
ference.
Lloyd Georges declaration that to
accept the German proposals as con-
tanned in the note transmitted through
the United States would be to put
"our heads in a moose" was met in
German quarters by the statement
that no set of belligerents would in
any way endanger itself by appearing
at a conference to enter into direct
negotiations. 1t was added that if the
Entente representatives did not like
developments they could withdraw i'm
mediately; representatives of the Cen
trial Powers reserving the same right.
| Regarding guarantees the Entente
will require for the future and the gen.
eral subject of reparation, German
diplomats were sure their government
would, at least. be willing to enter
discussion.
One of the most interesting features
of the premier's speech, from the
American viewpoint was his reference
to naturalization of Great Britain
shipping. While just what is contem-
plated is not clear, it is realized that
any such step might have a far-reacn-
ing effect upon American commerce
and might take British shipping out OF
the realm of discussion in connec''on
with submarine warfare.
