Drive for Peace Plan Signals German Offer in East
London dispatch reports Germany shifting from western offensive to a peace drive. If allied terms trade western advantage for eastern gains, Germany could offer Belgium France Alsace Lorraine and loans to Russia, with a free hand in the east. Wilson’s messages are seen as timely in shaping no peace at Russia’s expense, while British Pacifists oppose such terms. The Reichstag meets next week to discuss the Russian treaty amid western war weariness.
