Washington reports suggest no reply yet from Emperor William to U S inquiries on peace terms with the Allies. Diplomats friendly to the Allies hold that Wilson’s influence in Britain and France could push for a definite peace statement if German retreat to the borders of France continues and Austrian reverses extend. German bankers are said to back the effort, believing wartime finances could be managed through a moratorium.
