UNITED APPEAL
MUCH DESIRED.
United States Hopes to Become
Clearing House for Views
and Terms of Peace.
DIPLOMATS ARE WATCHING
Peace is Pointed Out as More
Essential to European Neu-
trails Than This Country.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22--W-ith the
purpose OF President Wilson'S note
to bel1igerents clarified by official
statements on the subject, the atten-
ton of the United States has turned
to the reception of the note in for
eign capitals.
Diplomats here are eagerly watch
ing for indications of whether the
Europeans will follow the lead Of the
United States and make similar APP
peal to the warning powers.
There is growing feeling that the
United States hopes to become the
clearing house for views and possibly
for terms OF the belligerents. Several
of the diplomats have advised their
governments to that effect in order to
guide them in their replies.
The question very much to the fore
today vas whether the European neu-
trails would present q united appeal.
The Spanish and Swiss representa-
tives here have been at the state de-
partment repeatedly since those pro-
posals came out and proba bly, know
full the plans of this government.
1t is pointed out that the European
neutrals have suffered beyond any
other nations not actually involved in
the war and that peace is more essen
tial to them than any but the actual
beIligerents. In addition they have
no bitterness of war and none of its
ambitions and are anxious more for
the comin~ Of peace than for the ac-
complishment of any other purpose.
Nevertheless their geographical posi-
ton between the two contending
forces has been so dangerous that up
10 now they have been able to do no
more than maintain their neutrality
without mixing in the struggle even
to suggesting peace. Part of this
danger is, however, thought removed
by the American action
Charge Grew reported to the sttae
department Friday that the presi-
dents peace note had been received
in Berlin.
Early London press comment that
the note was painful because it said
the objects of the bellfgerents were
practically the same was not unex-
pected here, where attention has all
ready been drawn to the fact that
President Wilson specifically declared
that the published views of the oppos-
ing statesmen left that impression.
1t is stated officially that the pres
ident would not presume to say that
the two groups were lighting for the
same object, but merely that their
official spokesman had outlined much
the same general program without
going into the actual details which he
now seeks.

now.
Referring to President Wilson'S
note, the Evening Standard says:
ANY communication from the
head of a great and friendly power is
assured of courteous and respectful
consideration, but it would be only
misleading the president to leave him
under the impression that any move
on his part toward peace at this
time Of the war would be welcomed
by Great Britain or its allies It is
singular indeed that statesmen OF
AR. Wilson'S perspfcutty can labor
under any such illusion. The whole
facts Of the situation should warn
him that his Intervention Is not de-
sired.
E1He speaks of league to insure
peace and justice. Such a league al
ready exists. 1t consists of Great Brit
ain, France. Russia, Italy and the
smaller powers. All have had an up

clear before them. The enemy has
given a shrill cry of distress, The

surely not suggest that they should
