New York, Deo. 25-Beleased from pledges, I am able to gire what I believe to be the whole Amizing story of the German Peace Nole and President Wil- son's demsida on the belligerents, The incidents commenced at a recent Cabinet meeting, where the recurrence. of Germany's Submarine atrocities was the chief subject of đigerssion. The President announced that if the videnos in the Marins and
imilar cases proved conclusivo sgaiort Germany, he favoured the immediate severance of diplo- matic relations.
Possibly to bis surprize, he found the majority of the Cabinet were agreed on euch a policy.
The State Department felt that courtesy demanded Barnstorf should be informed of the im- pending doom, whereupon he immediately took action.

UNCLAIMED TELEGRAMS.

The Kaiser had already decid- ed to issue a Peace Note at Christmas through the Pope. Apparently Bernstorf saw a origís only avertable by entangling the President in peace negotiations,
might fatter
him respecting the anti-German action concerned. Communiost- ing with Berlin the Am- bassador got the Pesce Note in- tended for the Pope transferred to neutral nations, necessarily in- |cluding America.
Meantima evidence against Germany socumulated, but the pre-arranged brest became Tar-practically impossible after send-
ing the peace massage.

The 2.1
The President Telt it necessary to demand from Ge many details of her intentions, Meanwhile Great Britain was arranging the mobilation of her merosot le first, and Azerica feared resulfant disorganisation of commerce. Therefore, it is believed; the President decided he would ask each belligerent for a statement se to objectives, proposals, and plans.
Tus me Nɔte contained sa implied warning to Germany, but anfortunately the President may reluctantly accept the view which Barnstorf is inspiring that it would be dishonourable (having. stacled for Germany in forwarding the peace message, and what Germans cunningly insist was an eodorarment) to act against Gor- many antil negotiations finished.
