attitude Of the warning nations to-
ward peace. and for the terms up

willing to end the war.
In presenting the note to the Hol.
land government. Doctor Van Dyke
stated that the attitude the Amer
lean government expressly insists
upon in regard to the position OF
Holland. is that his country feels
deep sympathy for and thoroughly
understands the peculiarly delicate
position of this country.
The American minister states that
Washington has no wish to urge any
action upon this country, nor do the
American officials expect any sup
port of their attempt to bring about
peace from Holland. So far from
urging anything which might be
deemed unwiSe or imprudent here,
the American government wishes it
distinctly understood, declared Doc
tor Van Dyke, that its only position
in this matter is to help all nations
al war and through them all human
itv.
Doctor Van Dyke also says that

offer mediation, nor does its govern
ment advance any peace proposal
OF any sort whatever. 1t simply
wishes 20 learn what terms arc
necessary to bring about peace.
When both sides are more frank
in their aims and ambitions the
world will be the better able to
judge whether peace is near or far
away.
