Berlin, July 1.-THE coming presi-

prospect of peace in Europe, Theodore
Wolff, editor of the Tagblatt, said to-
day.
With>two other leading German edi-
tors, Wolfblatt discussed the possibil-
ity of peace following the election.
''It is possible, but by no means GER
tain," said the Tagblatt editor. "The
allies for instance, can increase public
enthusiasm for continuance of the war
by mentioning the possibility that
Hughes will defeat Wilson. They can
argue that this will aid the cause of
Colonel Roosevelt and strengthen the
position of the allies in America. i"
