CHRISTIANIA, Sept. 18 (Central News).—The Aften Posten to-day publishes a telegram from Berlin, passed by the German censor, an- nouncing that at a conference soon to be held in Washington @ basis for peace will be reached. WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Peace negotiations in Europe hang at pres- ent on the Interpretation which Pres- ident Wilson and bis advisers will place on communications now pass- ing between Washington and Berlin. To-day, it can be said on highest authority, the President does not feel that he has received any message from the German capital which would induce him to renew his offers to act as mediator between the belligerent Powers. The message which he received yesterday from the German Chan- cellor he is disposed to regard as nothing more than a mere acknowl- edgment of informal inquiries which Ambassador Gerard at Berlin had made concerning Germany's willing- ness to receive fresh offers from this Government. He told callers Ambas- sador Gerard, in transmitting it, made no comment, At the White House to-day it was sald that nothing had been recetved which would change the President's view of the situation, It was regarded as significant in official quarters to-day that Presideat Wilson had not cabled Ambassador Page at London or Ambassador Her- *| rick at Paris anything concerning the Imperial Chancellor's non-committal conversation with Ambassador Gerard Although Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Ambassador, called at the Btato Department to discuss some neutrality cases, the subject was not mentioned to him. The French Ambassador, Jules Jus- serand has not been advised of the latest phases, although previously Secretary Brvan took both Ambassa- dors into his confidence on the various steps in the informal movement, It was recalled to-day that the attl- tude of President Wilson in waiting for something more definite from the belligerents was similar to that of the American Ambassadors at Tokio and St. Petersburg before the Russo- Japanese war was settled. The American envoys were artiou- | larly careful at that time to obtain in| writing definite request for the| any action on informal soundings. Count Von Bernstorft in New York sald to-day that undoubtedly the Ger- man Emperor had been informed of and the Imperial German Chapcellor and that the answer given had been first submitted to the Emperor, He added that it should be em- phatically understood that from a military viewpoint Germény was not seoking peace at this time any more than before, os MRS.
