PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Imperial Government Declares
In Note Presented to
Cardinal Gasparri.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE following
not was presented today by DR.. Won
Muehlb erg, German Minister to the
Vatican, to Cardinal Gasparri, Papal
Secretary of State.
According to instructions receiv-
cd I have the honor to send to Your
Eminence a copy of the declaration
which the Imperial Government to-
day, by the good offices of the pow
ers intrusted with the protection OF
German interests in the countries
with which the German Empire is in
state of war, has transmitted to
these States, and in which the I'M
perial Government declares itself
ready to enter into peace negotia-
lions. The Austro-Hungariap, Turk
ish and Bulgarian Governments also
have sent similar notes.
The reasons which prompted
Germany and her allies to take this
step are manifested. For two years
and a half terrible war has been
devastating the European Continent.
Unlimited treasurers of civilization
have been destroyed. Extensive
areas have been soaked with blood.
Millions of brave soldiers have fall
en- in battle and millions have re-
turned home as invalids. Grief and
sorrow fill almost every house.
Not only upon belligerent
nations but also upon neutrals the
destructive consequences of the gil
gantic struggle weigh heavily. Trade
and commerce, carefully built up in
years of peace, have been depressed
The best forces of the nations have
been withdrawn from the produc-
ton of useful objects: Europe
