that t1ime and affixed to tile request
were seenithe signatures of several
hiusdr'ed muen, besides the names of
eight or more of the jurors who decid

NOULD HAVE ALLIES
STATES PEACE TERMS
nformal Suggestion from uermany
that ANtes StateTerms of Peace.
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.
Wilson, however, (id no', regard the
message as bringing anything targ

statement that Germany he1! war

Il almost identical with ramirkr Sir
id.ward Grey made to At barsad(totr
Pm'ge in London last week.
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.
Ilplomatists were dlisposed to be
lieve thtat th rdughi such. infotrmal con
versaltions something dlefinite might
be obtained as working basis. If a
conlcord of opinion for discussion of
ipeace terms were reached Presidlent
Wilson then woutld endeavotr to -'ob
tain an accepitanice by all belligerents
of the original tender or good omeies.
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. An armistice wouldl ser've
merely as a trutce while peace was
dliscussed.
