Washington, March 23.-Offers OF
mediation, to prevent actual war be-
tween the United States and Germany,
are expected among the next develop.
ments.
Administration officials have just
heard that European neutral was con-
templating such a plan and they frank
ly regarded it as another effort, backed
by Germany, to divide sentiment in
Congress and embarrass the President.
Germany Must Act First.
It was declared authoritatively that
no proposals of mediation or for dis
cussion would be considered unless
Germany first abandoned the campaign
Of ruthlessness. All administration
officials from the President down take
the position that the United States
never has and does not now desire war
with Germany, but is being forced into
1t to protect lives and rights of it's
citizens against unlawful aggression.
Offers Useless Without Change.
Unless Germany is prepared to
change completely her position, it was
declared, offers of mediation and dis
cussion are useless. Germany, it was
recalled, never accepted former Sec
rotary Bryan's proposal to sign one of
his peace investigation" treaties
which would have bound the United
States to inaction for a year while a
commission investigated the situation.
Meanwhile every preparation for an
eventuality is being carried forward by
the army and navy and the President
is awaiting the assembling of Congress.

That "very secret" message which
the person known TO the Government
as "5i32-si67-O2 addressed TO Count
Won Bernstorff on April II, 1915, still
holds some mysteries. Did II reach the
German Ambassador and was It only
a copy that was found in Wolf Won

the day following its date? Probably
the Government officers got only the
copy, for II is unlikely that a docu-
ment so important would have been
withheld even an hour from Won
Bernstorff. II is so interesting that
its text, as made public by Washing
