LEWIS PROPOSES
MEDIATION IN WAR
INTRODUCES RESOLUTION RE.
oUEsTiNG PRESIDENT TO
TAKE SUCH ACTION.
Resolution Reoites That II 10 Suggest
ed as Expression Of Desire for
World Peace and Not Favorit-
ism for Any Of Bellieerents.

Washington.--A resolution request.
Ing the president, unless incompatible
with the public interest, to suggest to
warning nations of Europe that the
United States undertake mediation
was introduced into the senate on
Thursday by Senator Lewis of Illinois
to lie on the table for discussion later.
The resolution would authorize the
president to propose that the bellig.
erents declare a truce and that each
of them select a neutral country as
Its representative on board of arbi-
tration thus created; each selected
neutral would name one member OF
the board over which the president or
his representative would preside as
referee. Under the plan each belliger-
ent would present its demands or
claims to the board, which would be
authorized to arrive at an equitable
adjustment.
The resolution recites that II is sug
gested as an expression of the desire
for world peace and not OF favoritism
for any Of the belligerents.
President Wilson told callers Thurs
day that the intervention of a neutral
in behalf Of peace in Europe could
rest only on mutual understanding
by the belligerents that terms to be
arranged are to conserve the interests
OF all and the world at large, rather
than those of a particular nation or
group of nations among the warning
powers.

Thursday afternoon when the leaders
of all factions flocked to the standard

common order, common justice and
a common peace" He expressed the
hope that the terms of peace which
end the present war would include
such an arrangement.
Outlining suggestions for peace,
which the president said he hoped the
United States would make, II II has
opportunity to do so, he included pro
vision for absolute freedom of the
seas. a contention which has been the
keystone of all the diplomatic dis
cussions with Germany and Great

Il am sure" said the president
that the people of the United States
would wish their government to move
along these lines:
First, such a settlement with re.

as the belligerents may agree upon.
We have nothing material of any kind
to ask for ourselves and are quite
aware that we are in no sense or de.

Our interests are in peace and future

Second, a universal association OF

security of the highway of the seas

the nations of the world, and to pre-.

The fundamentals OF lasting

they shall live. Like other nations"

selves, no doubt, once and again of.

for little while controlled by selfish
passion, as our franker historians
have been honorable enough to admit;
but It has become more and more our

Second, that the small states OF

same respect for their sovereignty
and for their territorial integrity that
great and powerful nations expect and
insist upon.
And third, that the world has a
right to be free from every disturb.
