Opening Way for New Move in World
Peace.
London.—The German newspapers,
according to a Rotterdam dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph Company, in-
timate that Germany will acknowl-
edge President Wilson's speech in
such a way as to encourage the Pres-
ident to continue his efforts in favor
of peace. According to the dispatch,
Count von Bernstorff has been in-
structed to say that Germany is ready
to formulate peace terms if asked to
do so by the allies, and if there is a
possibility of peace negotiations being
successfully undertaken. The dispatch
adds that Austria has sent a similar
communication to the Austrian charge
d'affaires at Washington, and that it
is believed Bulgaria will follow the ex-
ample of the Teutonic powers.
Amsterdam.—Germany and her al-
lles are ready to conclude a "peace
without victory." But in concluding
it she would have the world under-
stand that she views this now famous
term stricily in the sense pointed out
by President Wilson in his Senate
speech—and only in that sense. This.
it is learned on high authority, will
be the sum and substance of the new
note which Germany. according to
strong reports, is planning to send to
the United States.
