It is believed that America's witling

Hermany is based on formal Intima
tions from England that they are will
Ing to mediate. It Is understood that
England has informed the United
States that they are willing to mod
ify the blockade and permit the car
rying or foodstuffs Into Germany If
that country will modify on their
tubmarino warfare.
Gerard expects to confer with Kais
er Wlihelm before Germany makes
her rep!j- to the United States re

finished for a fortnight nt least. It
is understood that Genvrd learned
this at a luncheon gltcn at the em

WASHINGTON, D. 0.. June 15.
According to latest reports the United
States Is doing her utmost to encour
age peace, but necessarily is limited
by the attitude of tho belligerents.
The president contradicted to all call
ers today the reports that the United
States U only neutral, and Is not try
ing to bring peace,
The possibility of the British re
plying to the American note has re
placed the German situation aa the
center of interest.
It Is romorcd that the British hav
flatly denied the American conten
tions, and are attempting to prove
that this country Is not suffering.
