Next Move for Peace Must Be Made by the Kaiser
Washington expects Germany to issue a response to President Wilson on peace without victory. Berlin reports say Berlin will present a statement from Ambassador von Bernstorff showing more conciliatory terms. The message could widen the peace move by endorsing self government for small nations and limiting armaments. The United States may join in efforts with other powers to prevent another world war.
