Taft Urges Nations to League for Peace Now
Internationalist plea attributed to former U S president Taft calls for a league to safeguard new republics, curb imperial successors, and establish an international court amid fears of Bolshevik and riotous upheavals. Berlin unrest grows as Hohenzollerns lose immunity and Crown Prince Frederick William renounces the throne.
Armistice terms hinge on Kaiser Wilhelm risks
Intercepted German dispatches and diplomatic chatter indicate the ex Kaiser Wilhelm Hohenzollern seeks hidden influence over the German army from neutral Holland. Diplomats warn that Hindenburg loyalists remain sworn to him, while covert German messages via Mexico City urge patience for German aims and peace terms. The armistice may be renewed December 17 with stricter conditions, and officials debate the Kaiser’s possible return to power and wider implications for civilization.

Balfour Urges League of Nations Trusteeship for Unequal States
London December 6 The British foreign secretary Arthur Balfour told the Associated Press that the Paris peace conference would form only the preliminary framework for the subsequent conference by allied governments to craft the peace terms. He said the league of nations is vital to curb autocracies and to prevent new Balkanizing conflicts, warning that democracy alone cannot ensure world safety. Russia’s status at the peace talks remains unresolved with no recognition for the Bolshevik government.
