night and was being prepared for Pres
tdent Wilson early today.
The actual transmittal of the peace
protfcr now brings up the important
question OF whether President Wilson
VIII decide to act merely as an inter-
mediary or whether he will accompany
the tranSmittal with some expression
OF hope IN some form that the proposs
ais fer consideration OF peace shall NOT
be rejected without examination and
reflection.
There Is prevailing opinion here
that the President wants to do some.
thing of the sort and is looking forward
to some movement for league OF ma,
tons to preserve peace as one Of the
elements of the shettlement Of the
war.

there were some differences In trans
