Brotherhood leaders are confident that

known here that the brotherhood leaders
are confident of an agreement on the other

attentions to peace moves but rather they
discussed the powers Of the President to
swear i'm the railroad employees and operate
the railroads under military law.
Statements made by railway managers

PEACE MOVE NEAR,
BELIEF AT CAPITAL
Washington Diplomats See
Early Action-Point to
Growing Upheavals
HUNGER CHIEF DICTATOR
WASHINGTON, March


A general peace move will be launched
+ within three or four months, according to
Views of diplomats and officials today.
In the opinion of military men, Govern
u3ent authorities and representatives OF tor-
Z oign Powers here there are many elements
at work which are tercing to BRING the
great world war to its closing stage.
These elements include an Increasingly
acute food situation in all the warning
nations particularly among the central
Powers a growing unrest among the peo-
ples as indicated by the dissatisfaction
manifested toward the Entente Cabinets
possibility of any one of the principal ma
tions breaking suddenly under the milf
tary strain and growing belief that neither
side can achieve an overwhelming victory
such as would force strictly military
peace.
II is now believed here that President
wilson's suggested peace without victory
will result in fact and possibly not later
than July 1. BY that time all believe that
empty stomachs and physical and financial
exhaustion will have argued successfully Tor
terminating the struggle
AS one diplomat here expressed 1t. An
empty larder may serve to restore reason
AS a result belief grows here that Ger
many will do everything in her power to
prevent entrance of the United States into
the world war.
II this country does enter. the Central
4 Powers feel that it would serve only to pro-
long the struggle and increase the suffer-
ing by another country possibly another
hemisphere and millions of persons
There are reasons to believe that Ger
many will exercise every precaution against
4 sinking an armed American merchant ship
without first complying with every stipua- =
ton of international lay demanded by this
Government
BY July it is believed that success or
failure of the U-boat will have been
6etcrmined.
III II does the service expected by the
German Government. 1t is believed. the war
will degenerate into contest which will
end with the survival of the fittest
II the U-boat campaign fails, Germany
may be forced "for the sake of her women
tures.
In all events. the U-boat. whether sue
cessful or not promises tp hasten the end
OF the war.
Political events now shaping themselves
IN Europe are read here as the handwCit-
ing on the wall
England and France both have their
Cabinet crises while the Russian and ItaI-
ian situations indicate disruption or weak
ness.
Germany maN drive against Russia OF
Italy as the most vulnerable adveFsaries
and this may serve TO inflct such blow
a. to enormously lessen opposition against
the Central Powers
And aside from political and food ques-
tions there IL, too, the question of finan-
x cial stress The drain on purses grows tre-
mendously large. and tins factor itself is
such as to tend toward halting the ter
rifc death dealing.
