MAMMALIAN TO CHIEF

Amsterdam.--The text OF the note
forwarded by Imperial German Chan
cellor Prince Maximilian. to President
Wilson through the Swiss government
follows:
1.-The German government requests
the president of the United States to
take in hand the restoration of peace,
acquaint all the belligerent states with
this request and invite them to send
plenipotentiaries for the purpose of
opening negotiations.
1T accepts the program set forth by
the president of the United States in
his message to congress on January 8
and in his later announcements, es-
pecially his speech Of September q.
as basis for peace negotiations.
with view to avoiding further
bloodshed the German government re-

TOO BUSY TO DISCUSS PEACE
Unconditional Surrender Of Central
Powers Is Official Sentiment

Powers Is Official Sentiment
Washlngton.-The outline of terms
which Prince Maximillian is said to be
ready to discuss and the report that
he Is ready to consider President Will
sons fourteen points In no way af-
fects the situation.
The United States government is
not going to enter into discussion of
terms with the German government no
matter how ingeniously the Teuton
diplomats approach the subject of
peace. President Wilson in his last
speech made it very clear, it Is point
ed out, that this government was not
interested in terms.
Officials therefore do not care par
ticularly what sort of terms Prince
Maximillian wants to discuss. The
fact of the matter, according to the
best available information here, Is that
the United States is now too busy
bringing real peace nearer through
prosecution of the war to be side
tracked into useless consideration Of
made in Germany" terms OF any sort
Germany obviously Is trying to keep
the peace talk going because 1t Is all
to her advantage to do so.
1t Is admitted here that the first of
these ingenious peace feelers is bound
to attract considerable notice in the
United States and in entente coun-
tries. but 1t is believed that the pub
lie will soon become used to these eff
fuslons.

the French press generally as an at

prince in his inaugural speech before
the reichstag. News of it reached
here through dispatch to the news

dent
The prince offered immediate sus-
pension Of hostilities and suggested
that all belligerents send ENJOYS to a

Throughout the day reports and ru-
nors of a German peace bid had been
coming thick and fast. Berlin dis

reichstag for special plenary session.
The Baden prince was to make his in

as chancellor, he was to cover the in
ternational field.
The first definite hint that sensa-
