WILSON MAY HAVE STRAIGHT
TIP KAISER WANTS PEACE

Washington, May 9.-It may be that
President Wilson is acting on a strong
bunch" that Germany is willing to
make peace in being moved to accept
lace value.
Much interest ha been created here
by the deliverance of a message from
the pope Saturday by Mgr. Bonzano,
the papal delegate to the United
States. White House officials would not
discuss the massage, saying it was prl-
vate.
1t was stated, however, it related to
peace and the hope that the United
States and Germany would not become
enbroiled. The view that the pope is
working in conjunction with President
Wilson is strengthened by European
reports that the kaiser has appealed to
his holiness to ~inaugurate some move
to end the war.
Says Kaiser Wants Peace.
1t also is said that Ambassador Ger
ard has cabled President Wilson reports
of his recent conversation with the kali
ser, in which the latter is represented
as having expressed an ardent desire
that President Wilson undertake the
task of restoring peace. Unofficial dis
patches from Germany. probably in
spired, showed the expectation of the
German government that an anlcable

States.
Germany's Terms Easier.
Significance was attached to the
statement in the Berlin reply to the
American note that Germany is ready
TO make peace on a basis of safe
guarding Germany's vital interests
The impression gains ground that
Germany, desiring to end the war while
1t is a victor on land, is exerting every
possible influence to induce President
Wilson to initiate mediation on his own
responsibility. Germany has not form
allv asked the president to mediate and
will not do so, according to German Of
ticials here.

it is contended, would be hailed by the
allies as a confession Of weakness, If
not of defeat, and only would serve to
the entente to ~redoubled ex-
ertions to whip their enemies. If. how
ever. the president would undertake
mediation upon his own initiative. Ger
many would accept the o~vertures.

motive must be sought. not in the terms
in which Germany offers. but in the
wider suggestion which was expressed
by only a hint in the document, but
was presumably amplified in verbal
communications with the American
ambassador. Germany is now at the
top of her military accomplishments.

she can strongly enlist American public
opinion, that is a great step toward the
goal.
