Czar Proposes Mediation to End War With Germany
Horlin March 16 reports in court and ministerial circles that Russia has entrusted Wie Kaleors with a mission of personal mediation or international mediation to end the war. The idea, if Germany benefits by halting hostilities, could be more successful than English or French overtures. Wilhelm’s Mediterranean cruise and talks with Spain, Portugal, and Italy are linked to this mediation effort. Four reasons urge ending the war: fears of unrest, Balkans explosions, military needs involving Japan, and the risk of German advance should prolongation occur.
