WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.—The se-
rious discussion of peace prospects in
belligerent countries has made a pro-
found impression upon administra-
tion and diplomatic circles here. The
intimations from European capitals
that President Wilson has a peace
movement under way were interpreted
here to mean that the diplomats and
consular officers of the United States
are sounding out opinion abroad
among the peoples as well as the gov-
ernments of the fighting nations.
There has been a strong belief here
for several weeks that President Wil-
son hoped to make a visible effort to-
ward peace in Europe as soon as the
Mexican situation had been composed
to the point of reasonable certainty
that this country would not have to
go to war with Mexico.
The report has gained strength of
late from the general belief that all
the belligerent powers are near the
point where further restraint of inter-
national law may not hold them in
check. Great Britain, by usurping ar- j
bitrarily absolute control of the sea. ■

she is given pause.
। That step, in the opinion of many,
is to attempt to invoke the United
States in the war by tempting Ger-
many to violate her pledge to this
country.
