dent Wilson's plea for peace. The
warmest approval. expressed by
members of the government here
was coupled with the prediction
that the whole continent would be
a unit in its support OF such a step.
Officials were swept off their
feet with surprise at the note and
formal comment was not immedi-

ever, theY expressed the belief
that the presidents plea for a defi-
milton of the terms of peace on
both sides was most timely and

WILSON'S PEACE NOTE THUS EXPLAINED
MOVE
HERALDS Peace

President Wilson's note today heralds
peace.
The Star has no. patience with those
who CRY out that his action fayors one side
or the other.
Peace is the important thing-and both
sides are eager for it, They are like two
boys who fight, and fight on, hoping some
thing will end the fight but too proud to
call halt themselves.
President Wilson makes it easy for both
sides to enter into conference.
They may talk Cockily-but at heart
they want an end of the war.
No matter what any of the warning
nations may say NOW. The Star is firmly
convinced that they will confer soon-and
the presidents message is fastening the
day nightly.
There is little possibility that the rela-
tive positions of the belligerents will change
materially in the next year or two. Wilson'S
move, above all. comes after formal peace
talk has been indulged in by both sides. 1t
comes logically-and with mighty good
chance for achieving results.
