NEGOTIATIONS FOR
PEACE DISCUSSED
Newspaper Says Germany Should Ac.
cept the Services of President
Only as Messenger.

LONDON, Dee. 5.--An article predict
ing the approach of peace negotiations has
appeared in the Berlin Tageblatt and j.
quoted in an Amsterdam despatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company. The
.Tageblatt says: The moment is near
when business peace will be possible, a
peace which the allies and the central
powers can discuss in view of the securi-
ties they possess. OF course those who
consider such proposal must not be al
lowed to return home empty handed.
The status quo ante bellum is impossible
since the independence of Poland is pro-
claimed but it is remarkable that the
number of Germans who wish to annex
Belgium has shrunk recently to almost
nothing while many pan-Germans are
ready today to listen to the words pa
cltism' without protest.
The Nosfsche Zeitung also prints an ar
ticle discussing the possibility of peace. 1t
says that probably Ambassador Gerard
is returning to Germany with some peace
proposal. If such is the case, the paper
goes on, America is an unsuitable media
tor and if warned Germany will accept the
services of President Wilson only as a
messenger and not as an arbitrator
