SWITZERLAND
BACKS WILSON
FIRST OF NEUTRALS TO LINE UP
TO FORCE POWERS TO CON-
sIDER PEACE PROPOSALS.
WAR TO TURN TO PEACE
WASHINGTON RI c e I'VE S WORD
THAT OTHER NEUTRAuS WILL
TAKE SIMILAR COURSE.

Washington.-War on earth, with all
its bitterness, will turn to peace and
goodwill before another Christmas,
government heads here believe.
Their hope for and belief in such an
outcome within the new year was
strengthened by Switzerland's note,
approving President Wilson's peace
move and offering the mountain re-
public's "bit" toward hating the world
struggle and seeing that peace is per-
manent.
Atop of this encouraging news came
word that other neutrals would take a
similar course, while it is known that
all, privately, at least, are behind the
American position. Moreover, the ad-
ministration had reason to feel that
the warriors themselves will take
kindly to the peace propositions be-
fore long.
Hence, on Christians Day American
officials felt that there was real cause
for rejoicing, despite the fact that the
big nations stil are doing their
slaughter abroad.
Switzerland, in a note to all
of the warning powers, announced
its support of President Wilson's
appeal for a discussion of peace
terms, saying it would consider
itself happy if it could act in any
way, no matter how modest, for the
rapprochement of the peoples now
engaged in the struggle, and for a
lasting peace"
The note was sent to the belliger-
ents by the Swiss Federal Council, and
DR.. Paul Ritter, minister of Switzer-
land here, sent a copy OF it to the
White House. Secretary Lansing
made it public.
A large number of cablegrams came
to the White House from Holland,
Sweden and Norway. These were
transmitted by organizations and indi-
viduals. All praise the President for
his position, proffer whatever assist
ance can be rendered and intimate
that their own governments will take
similar steps.
All the neutral diplomats in this city
expressed utmost interest in the ad-
vanced step taken by Switzerland. So
much enthusiasm was aroused that
many prophecies were made that
many of the South American republics
would join the procession and send
peace kilograms. These nations are
all far removed from the scene of war
but all of them do a large overseas
business with each of the belligerents.
