PEACE MOVEMENT IS
APPARENTLY GAINING
President Wilson Will Continue
To Hope Until Either Side
Closes Door
Washington, Dec. 27.—In
spite of the wide gulf between
the insistence of the central
powers for an immediate peace
conference end the forecast of
an unanimous refusal by the
entente allies to enter such a
conference without knowing
Germany’s terms in advance,
the American government be
lieves that the negotiations in
progress are resulting in good.
It was said with authority to
night that until the door to
peace actually is closed, by one
side or the other, President
Wilson will continue to hope
that any discussion of the sub
ject will tend to hasten the end
of the war.
Count Von Bernstoff, the
German ambassador, returning
unexpectedly tonight from New
York, authorized the Associat
ed Press to make the follow
ing statement:
“I regard the note of my
government as constituting an
acceptance of everything sug
gested by President Wilson in
his note to the belligerent na
tions in Europe.”
It was made clear at the em
bassy that Germany stands
ready to make known herterms
on the first day of any confer
ence that may be held and of
ficials expressed themselves as
being greatly surprised at the
view prevailing in some quar
ters that the Berlin government
had failed to meet the presi
dent’s suggestions by not set
ting down in reply the terms
upon which it is willingtomake
peace.
While there were no official
advices upon the subject the
view still persisted in German
quarters that the note of the
central powers might be follow
ed by some highly confidential
oral or written communication
to President Wilson in which
broad tentative terms might be
stated.
Just what the United States
could do toward bridging the
gulf in case the allies hold to
their opposition to a conference
is the subject of serious discus
sion among officials, but as yet
no concrete proposal has been
advanced.
Great Britian’s invitation to
the premiers of all the colonies
to attend an imperial war con
ference to discuss “possible
conditions on which, in agree
ment with our allies, we could
consent to its termination,”
proved a decided surprise in
Washington and is taken as in
dicating the seriousness with
which the peace move is view
ed in England.
Bandit Wounded at
Newport Identified
As a Bank Robber
(Continued from page one)
a few days prior to the time
their presence was discovered
in Newport, and it is believed
by many that they came here
for the purpose of robbing the
bank here but decided that the
chances for escape were not to
their liking.
One of the men was not very
talkative, but the other talked
rather freely and pretended to
be looking for land. He gave
his name as Anderson but the
other did not give his name.
Parties here who saw and
talked to the men have gone
to Newport to see the wbunded
bandit known as “Shorty” and
are positive that he is the man
who was in Newark looking
for land and gave his name as
Anderson.
The wounded bandit is im
proving and it is said that he
will recover.
