Washington, Sept. -17.-Germany ias suggested informally that the Jnited States should undertake to Meit frot Great Britain, France and 1ussia, a statement of terms under vhich the allies would inake peave. Tiho suggestion was made by the mperal chancellor, von ilethmnaun :follweg, to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin as a result, of an inquiry sent )y tie American government to Iarn 6vhether iEmpijero'\V1illiatm desired to iiscuss peace, as Count von \'ern 4torff, the e-man ambassador 11d sear Strauis recently had reported. EtIperor vliliAt' himself made no reply nor, did ti(e imperial chancellor ndieate whether he )Spoke oi behalf " his ionaei. Ambassador Gterard 2abled President Wilson the (iancel or's remarks from recollection, whihi ubstantially were as follows: Germany apprqciated the Americani overnment's interest and offer. of ser vices in trying to mIake peace. Ger nally had warl forced oil her. 1sven if she defeats Fra'nee, she mutist van :uish Great Britain, and Russia also i1- all three have agreed not to make jeace except by comilmon consent. iEngland has annonciled that she in tWars to fight to the limit of her en Eiuraince. In view of that determinia Aon the United Stacts ought to get peace proposals from the allies. Gvr nany could accept only a lasting peace,' one that would make her peo 0le secure against future attacks. To wccpt. mediation now would be in terpreted by the allies as a sign of 6reakness and would be misunderstood by the German lpeople, who, having nade great sacrifices had the right to 3emand guarantees of security. Ambassador Gerard added to this 'nly the brief comment that he, him self thouoght tle way muign t possileC be )Open to mediation. Presidenr.

The general belief tonight vas that the -president. after waiting a few [lays more for information from tier lint probably would instruct the American ambassadors at London, Pai and Petrograd to comimnieate what the imperial German chancellor had said to Ambassador Gerard. It was5 believed the ambassadors would be0 asked to reiterate the wish of the American govetrnment to be of ser vice in brilnging about peace.

This would not mean a cessation of hostilities unless the mediatig powver speiCfilly made it a condition of tediatton and all bell1igerents agreedi to it.
