PEACE MOVEMENT
AMONG NEUTRALS
ASSUMES SHAPE
Reports from Swiss From
tier Say Call for Confer
ence Soon to Be Issued.

Berlin, Nov. Is, via London.-The
movement for peace negotiations, H-
cording to reports from the Swiss
frontier, which were printed by the
,Koelnische Zeitung, is about to as
sumo definite shape in the form of a
joint call from various neutral gov
ernments to the belligerents, asking
them to send delegates to peace con-
vention. The reports assert that the
several European neutrals are al
ready in touch with the American
government, and that various bellig-
erents have been sounded on the
proposition of conference.
According to this story the confer
ence would necessarily open its sit
tingsI without an armistice being pro-
claimed, interruption of hostilities
coming only after it was established
that the negotiations are apt to he
crowned with success.
In authoritative official circles hero
it is stated that no facts are known
upon which the Koelnische lettings
story could be based, while it is cen.
sidered not impossible that neutral
governments may be considering
some such step.
