ZURICH, Switzerland. October 10
Optimists here see willingness on the
part of Germany to discuss President
Wilson's demand that the people them
selves must guarantee the treaty OF
peace They thus interpret Foreign
Secretary Won kuehlmann's speech In
which. as previously reported. he said:
"Outside of Alsace-Lorraine there is
absolutely no hindrance to peace. There
Is no question which would justify. be-
fore the people and before history,
such destruction and bloodshed, and
. which cannot be solved by negotia-
-tions"
This utterance is reinforced by his
statement that 1.-THE foreign policies
can only be successful If they are sup
ported and Endorsed by the broad
masses of the German people.
These optimists also see a great sig
nifcance in DR.. Won Kuehlmann's hur-
fiedstrip to Vienna.
