HIS STATEMENT CONCERNING
WILSON'S NOTE is MIsIN.
TERPRETED.
OFFICIAL IS IN HOT WATER
Does Not Mean That WesWant War
Sending of Note Will indicate POSI-
bllity of Our Being Forced into the
War.

Washington, Dec. 22-President VIII.
sons note to the belligerents' urging
discussion of peace was officially in
terpreted as not bearing any threat
that the United States might be forced
to enter the war because of the con-
tinued invasion of its rights in the
warning powers of, both sides.
This Interpretation was made late
today by Secretary Lansing in for
NAL statement issued to overcome
what was characterized as widespread
misconception on one given out earlier
in the day saying that because of the
increasingly critical position of the
United States as neutral 1t was en-
titled to know exactly what each bel
ligerent, seeks in order that it might
regulate it's conduct for the future.
Secretary Lansing, in his first state
ment explaining the sending Of Presi'
dent Wilson's notes to the belligerents,
declared it was because the situation
for neutrals was becoming increasingly
critical and the Uuited States itself
was being drawn near the verge of
war;
He further said: The sending OF
this note will indicate the possibility
of our being forced into the war. The
possibility ought to serve at re.
straining and SOLDERING force safe
guarding American rights. 1t may also
serve to force an earlier conclusion Of
the war. Neither the president nor
myself regard this note as a peace
note; it is merely an effort to get the
belligerents to define the end for
which they are fighting"
When word of what the secretary OF
state had said spread throughout the
capital it created the greatest con-
sternation in official circles and among
the foreign diplomats, many Of whom
were calling at the state department
to receive their copies OF the note dis
patched to their capitals.
1t became apparent that the secre'
tary's statement was not fully ap-
proved at the white house and that
there was question as to the wisdom
of making any comment that might
be regarded as an addition to the note
The white house was concerned lest
any word reach the foreign capitals
to be construed as indicating that the
American note was anything but what
It indicated on its face.
