AMERICA MAKING NO
MOVE TO END WAR
United States Has Not Sug.
gested Anything Nor Has it
Been Approached.
ACT WOULD BE RESENTED

| Washington, Oct Ono new stet
to end the European war has beer
taAen by the United States. and ST
tar as officials here can forecast non,
is likely to be taken in the near fu
ture, according to an authoritativ,
statement OF the governments posi-
ton, obtained today in high offica
circles.
While no official professed to know
what is in President Wilson's mind, il
was declared, that no preparations hac
been made for discussion OF peace
through the usual diplomatic chan
nels, and that all the information
gathered here seemed to indicate thai
such a move would be both useles:
and inadvisable. It,was pointed out
however, that in matter of this ma
ture the president usually keeps his
own counsel and might be influenced
by indications Of which the officiall
mere are III ignorance.
Not Offered Nor Suggested.
Regarding the many rumors thai
the United States had made media.
tory advances to the belligerents
during recent months, it was de.
clared authoritatively that mediation
mad been neither offered by this gov.
ernment nor suggested to it from
abroad. 1t was finally stated that
no new peace overtures at all had
been made to any of the belligereni
governments and that no belligerent
government had indicated that such
cvertuyes would be welcomed.
The United States, it was explained
stands exactly whepe it has stood
ever since President Wilson, at the
outbreak of the war, made an open
offer to use the good offices of the
country whenever requested. Since
that announcement, it was declared
there has been no changes so far as
the American government is con-
cerned.
While declining to be quoted d.
rectly on so delicate matter officials
here are understood to be thoroughly
convinced that any peace move al
this time would be resented as un-
neutral and might impair the govern
ment's standing when the time for
action comes.
Other States in Accord.
Attention is called to the formal de-
cision of Switzerland, Norway, Swe.
den and Denmark not to offer media
ton now, the informal decision OF
Spain and the Vatican to the same
effect, the warning against such at
tempts sounded recently by David
l.loyn George the British war minis
ter, and the Swedish premier's dec
aration yesterday that peace propos.
ais by neutrals~ would be futile, and
other utterances by public men in
belligerent and neutral countries.
A close watch is being kept on de-
velopments for any indication that
peace proposals would be welcomed.
Much interest was expressed in TO-
days announcement that Henry Ford.
founder of the neutral conference a.,
Stockholm, had summoned Louis P.
Lochner. general secretary OF the con
terence, to this country. 1t was
pointed out that Mr.. Ford recently
visited President Wilson at Shadow
Lawn, but officials here do not be-
lieve the president would seek advice
through those channels.
