VoL. IV. - Sarurpay, APRIL 24, 19165. No. 34

Despite official denials, it is learned that von Bernstorff—the
German ambassador—himself is responsible for the reports cireu-'
. Jated in Washington in regard to Berlin's willingness to. consider
peace proposals. With the understanding that he should not
be quoted, these proposals were published: .
‘1, That Berlin would not sue for peace,
2, That the subject- might be discussed on the basis of a return
“to the status quo at the time war was declared,
. 8. That Germany is unwilling to consider. paying an indemnity
for the damage done to Belgium.

' 4. That Belgium be evacuated by the German armies.-
5. Chat Russia should have a way out through the Dardanelles
- and that proper arrangement shovld be made by Germany with
Turkey to accomplish this result. .
.@ That Alsace and Lorraine must remain German territory.
»,4. That ‘Germany should purchase the Belgian Congo for a
“reasonable sum. ad -
; 8 That in case of future wars neutral ¢ commerce on the high
~  geas should not be interfered with, and that other matters should
be left to future adjustment. 7
Information. which has- reached the White. House ig to the
effect that any effort ta open up peace negotiations on the basis of

- these informal overtures would bea waste.of time. a
In the first place, the Britishj*Russian’ and French - authorities
assure the President that: no negotiations: ean go forward except
with the consent of. all the Allies, and there - are many. conditions
mentioned i in these informal. suggestions which would. stand i in. the
beginnifig:as permanent batriers to ‘any possible understanding,
-Great Britain “would insist, for example, on an indemnity for
Belgium and a a permanent assurance as to the neutrality of that !
country.
