 Now. said he. -f am perfectly con- vinced that there Yill be conference" !"
 The nearest parallel in world in his tory for President Wilson's action was President Roosevelt's move in 1905 to end the war between Russia and Japan. But in that case the president had been assured his proposal would not be dis agreeable 10 either of the belligereuts and curiously enough if was through , Emperor William of Germany that the preliminary soundings crystalized into the suggestion that President Roosevelt take the steps
 Before that time President Roosevelt had conferred with Count Cassini the Russian amba ssador here, and with MT. Takahira. the Japanese minister. In the Russian capital the American am- bassadOr George von L. Meyer. had conversations with Count Lamsdorff. the Russian minister for foreign af- fairs. In Tokio, American Minister Criscom had conversations with Count ! komura, the Japanese minister for for eign affairs. The outcome of all these preliminaries was that President Roosevelt was assured that he would not be humiliated by a rejection of his action.
 Those in official circles who would discuss the notes thought it worthy of attention that President Wilson. after saying his action had long been in mind added:
 The president can only beg that his suggestion be considered entirely on it's own merits and as if 1t had been made in other circumstances
 The president looks forward in the notes to the part the neutrals shall take in assuring the future peace oi the world. He expresses justification ] In suggesting an immediate oppor tunity for a comparison of views as to the terms which must precede those ultimate arrangements for the peace or the world, which all desire, and in which The neutral nations as well as those at war are ready to play their full responsible part"
 The objects which the bellieerents have In mind. the president points out arc virtually the same as stated ir general terms to their people and t. the world, but vet the concrete ob- jects of the war have never beer definitely stated"
 Never yet, he says. have the au- thortative statesmen of either sid, avowed the precise objects whicl would. if attained. satisfy them art their people that the war had beer fought cut. The world has been lef to conjecture with definite result, what actual exchange of guarantees what political or territorial change. or readjustments, what stage of mil ltary success even. would bring tn. war 10 and end.

MAY MOBILIZE SHIPPING UNDER
 GENERAL HEAD
fRepublican A. p. Leased wireJ


 NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-A desire of the British government to mobilize under one general head the entire ocean cargo carrying facilities of the United Kingdom for the exclusive ben eft of the allied armies and the great civilian populations of the allied countries, is the reason behind the statement of Premier Lloyd George that the shipping of Great Britain will be "nationalized, according to leading British shipping men here.
 For some time, one Of the represent tative steamship men said today all British vessels have had aho1t one third of their cargo space cc1 man. deered for grain. This space has re- gently been increased to such an extent that now the New York agent has only about one-third of his ship available to private shippers.
 The same authority added that it was his belief more space would be controlled by the government by regulations requiring that all cargos be officially designated. Designation Of cargo will mean that the shipping in bottoms of any commodity other than that necessary for maintenance of army and civil life will be forbidden.
 It is also deemed not unlikely that British ships now engaged in trade between neutral countries will be called upon to take their place in the line of ships engaged in carrying sup plies to Great Britain and her allies

The whole tenor of official opinion throughout Washington when the pres ident's action became known was that it immeasurably improved the pros poets for some sort of exchanges look ing toward an approach to peace dis cussions between the belligerents with out impairing the position of the Unit ed States should they finally be unable 10 find q ground on which tO approach one another.
 At the White House no statement whatever could be obtained as to whether any of the powers even had intimated how they would receive the note. and there was every indication that the same careful secrecy which prevented anything whatever becoming known about the presidents action un- iil if had been taken. would surround any of the moves.
 Nowhere on the surface appears any indication of the history making events which diplomatists generally are con- yinced must have transpired since the German allies brought forth their pro- posais 10 dispel the generally prevalent belief that such an action on the part of President Wilson would be unac- ceptable to the entente powers.
 British embassy officials declared they were utterly taken by surprise, were wholly unable to explain it. and were emphatic in their statement that no exchanges whatever had passed through the embassy here as a preiim mary The wish and hope of the Ger man powers that President Wilson would intercede in some way has long been well known and has been con Eeyed in different ways to the White FDusc. The attitude of the entente allies as expressed by their statesmen and certainly until recently in official adyices to the American government has been that peace offer by the United States would be considered almost the next thing to unfriendly.
 All that, however. was before the German allies Of their own accord brought forward their proposals fol discussion of peace President Wilson specifically says in the notes he is somewhat embarrassed in making tn, suggestion at this particular time ''be cause it may now seem to have beer prompted by q desire to play part ir connection with the recent oyertures o, the central powers"
 To the central powers the presiden says his action vas in no way "sug. SeSteu ny me Teutonic proposals while 10 the entente allies he says hi note K Fin no way associated witt ihem." To both sets of belligerenti he says he would have delayed offer ing 1t until those overtures had beer answered but for the fact that it alst concerns the question Of peace and ma, thus be considered in connection witt other proposals which have the sam end in view
 Diplomatists considered it incredit ible that the president would brinj forward such proposal at such tim unless he had reason to believe it woul, receive respectful consideration at tn hands of all the beIligerents and abov all would not prejudice the position O the United States as a possible media tor.
