Wilson Has Not Determined Whether
to Wait for German Initiative In
Stating Peace Terms Before

Wilson May Make Next Move.
Whether time will be allowed for the
Teutonic nations to state their terms
on their own initiative, or whether
President Wilson will make some
move to give an opening, remains I'M
determined. There are indications,
however. that II no statement of the
Teutonic terms Is forthcoming within
a reasonable time, the United States
may seek a means to indicate the de-
STABILITY Of such a course.
1t is reiterated that the President
has not determined on his position.
In other administration quarters it
has been suggested, however, that the
objects which the President had in
mind could best be promoted now by
the Central Powers publicly decsar-
ing their terms.
Officials Waiting Anxiously.
Officials are watching particularly
just now the trend OF public sentiment
abroad and the apparent change since
the dispatch of the Presidents nete
has proved q source of increasing
qualification. There Is no indication
In official circles, however, that an
early peace is thought probable.
Germany Would Name Terms.
The German view here is that there
is little likelihood of a public state.
ment of specific terms by the Teutonic
Allies at this time unless further
move to that end is made by the
President. Should a request for such
a statement be forwarded to Berlin,
however. 1t is declared Germany prob
ably would comply.
