WASHINGTON. Muv 26. Presi
dent Wilton is giving more serious
consideration to the possibility of
restoring pence In Kurope than at any
time since the outlironk of the war.
From hii authoritative source it was
lcariunl toilsy that the prosldeiit is
pieparing to do everything possible
In an Informal way to bring about
tho discussion of peace lietwaeu bel
ligerent nations, although he has not
Indicated an Intention Immediately

preliminary overture.

The president Is convinced the war
is deadlocked ami that continuance
merely moans the killing of more
people and the further Improvetlsh
mout of Kuropean netlous, both bel
ligerent and neutral.
Mr. Wilson's olosost advlior be
lieve the rulers of warring nations,
because of their close relationship,
even kinship, will have as Important
a part In restoring peace a the min
isters of their governments. It will
occasion no surprise In official cir
cles if In some manner the rulers of
tho countries at war open the way
for peace conveisatious.
The picslilent takes the position.
It was authoritatively stated, that
the neutrals of the world, as much
aa belligerents, have a right to" par
ticipate In, and If possible, Initiate
pence negotiations because of the
economic results already developed
und those which will follow the con
flict.
N Deeply Inleieoted.
The president has been deeply In

among responsible officials, lie hu
read and filed away recent apeeches

has conveed the impression to those
who have talked with him that he
thluka the continuance of these dis
cussions Is bound to have Its effect In
restoring peace, despite the belllger.

officials.
The president has Indicated that he
Is deslrious that the United Stales
