Cologne, Oct. '7.-Delayed.) !.
1t is not impossible that Am
bassador Gerard is conveying
peace proposals to America. Be-
fore departing from Berlin he
held most important conferences
with Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollwcg, Foreign Secretary of
War Won Jagow, DR.. Solff, Sec
retary for the colonies, and sew
eral leading members OF the
reichstag
1t is believed here that now
is the time for Washington to
make peace. Only Washington
can do this because she posses
ses such great influence with
London and Paris.
Now is the psychological
moment, for if peace is not made
now, the war must last another
year as the winter campaign is
now prepared.
An armistics is not mentioned,
but it is believed that President
Wilson can appeal to the powers
and ask them to send special
representatives to Washington
to negotiate peace.
In the meantime, the war can
go on and these negotiations
may form the basis of durable
peace.
