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.

Profit-Sharing with Retail Buyers
On August 1. 1911, we made the announcement that if we
could make and sell at retail 300,000 Ford cnr Iwlween August
1, 1914 and August 1, 1915 we would share profits with the re
tail purchasers, to the extent of from t-tO to IdO on each car.
we have sold over UUO.000 Ford can in the time uiecified, and
profU-sharinir checks of 150 each will be distributed as rapidly
as possible after AuKuat 15. 1915. Retail purchaser who have
not yet mailed us their profit-sharinir coujions, properly en
dorsed, should do so without delay.
Our plan to profit share with retail purchaser f Ford car
during 1914-15 has been most successful. We thorouithly be
lieve in it, but, realizing the uncertainty of condition general'
ly makes it advisable to defer any announcement of future profit-sharing
until a later date.
We are, however, confident of our inability to reduce cost for
several months, and therefore can offer no profit-sharing- for
cars delivered during August, September and October. 1U15-
