An ultra-secret diplomacy will -be

will probably be willing that her 'oft,

exported soon, bo made public. Butj
if Germany is to accept the Implied j
invitation to Btate her peace terms,
publicity will have a ruinous effect.;
These facts, coupled with the thought
that the belligerents are. still vastly
apart; have convinced the adminis

able for the United States?to keep
