Two Trump Cards Ready.

Washington, Feb. 10-While the
United States hopes almost against
hope-and prepares for any eventual
ity-a tremendous sub-surface move to
keep this country at peace is now pro-
ceeding.
With what is believed to be the Sc
cretly tacit but wholly informal sane
tion of this government, the move has
developed along three lines. namely:
To confne Struggle.
First--Efforts of neutrals -confined
now to almost all neutrals, excepting
the United States--to have confer.
encc called at Madrid. with view
to confirming the war to it's present linn
its and If possible to get secret or
public assurances from Germany that,

Second-An effort by this govern.
ment to avoid a break with Austria by

ment of Germany's under-sea cam
paiSn, and
Move by Bernstorff.
Third and Last-The expected eff
forts of German Ambassador Won Bern
storff to preserve peace after he
reaches Berlin, provided, of course. the
overt act" has not been committed
by Germany by that time.
tThis apparently is an independent
move on Bernstorff's part, though 1t is
admitted it can scarcely fail to meet
with this governments approval)
Rumors of this sub-surface peace

lent for several days, but the full
extent of the move has just become
