peace plan by neutrals and the vati-
can the hope Tor early results from

diminishing. Administration officials
point gIoomily 20 the recent pro
nOuncements Of belligerent rules as
sufficient basis for this view
With the exception of the presi-
dent himself and his official family
OF advisers. it is generally conceded
here now that the effect Of the en-
tente stating the terms on which it
would consider peace has been to
temporarily close and bar the door
TO any results through direct nego-
tiations between the belligerents.
Also, il apparently has aroused the
central powers 10 new determination
10 fight if need be until victorious
or crushed.
IL is clearly recognized by officials
here that the present would be a
poor time 70 attempt 20 secure even
the unofficial and informal terms of
the central powers as, smarting
under the sweeping demands of the
entente as the only basis on which
il could discuss peace. Germany and
her allies doubtless would frame
terms now quite as drastic and i'm
possible of acceptance by her en-
emies.
So far as the administration eff
forts at present are concerned.

is admitted. When the next move
