I CROOK COUNTY JOUNAL tlLSON TO ASCERTAIN IF PEACEIS DESIRED Ambassadors to Find Out if Belligerent Nations Want America to Mediate. ' 'WJtttutigtoti President Wilson took Hm Jlrat step to ascertain whether a forvuii offer of mediation by the Unit ed -States government would be wel corned bj the European belligerents. TS'jr state department sent a cable Message to Ambassador Page at Lou don to report the opinion of th re ception that would be accorded by Great Britatn In a mediation proposal by the president A similar cable message was dis patched to Ambassador Gerard at Ber lin. The understanding In official cir cles Is that the same Inquiry will be addressed to the American ambassa dors at Petrograd. Paris, Rome, and Constantinople. Officially it was denied that the president has agreed upon the sugges tion of Pope Benedict that he under take the task of bringing about peace In Europe at this time. Officially this Is the fact, for the president does not purpose to proffer his good office un less ono or more of the belligerents should give him unquestionable rea son to believe that his services as me diator are desired. Unless one or more of the warring nations is ready to propose peace and desires to make the United States government the channel of the over tures. It is probable that no publicity will be given the result of the in quiries directed to American ambas sadors abroad. Hello !
