President Wilson will make another

that his initial elfort has been success
ful insofar as tho Allies havo stated
their aims in tho war and what they
regard as satisfactory peace terms. " It
is believed that Germany's terms havo
also been submitted confidentially to
tho President and that the general
tone of both the Allies and Teuton re
joinders to the President's peace initia
tive shows that the belligerents now
understand clearly tho motives of the
United States and its since'ro desire
to bring tho bloody European conflict
to un end as soon as possible.
High Government ofllcials in Wash
ington believe that tho replies of both
contending groups by no means con
stitute the last word in tho situation,
but are, ou the contrary, nothing more
than "bombastic feelers" and attempts
to gain the sympathy of tlio world,
and that the way for bargaining anil
compromise is now open.

capital regard tlio terms of tho Allies
as absurd, hut stato that Gorman?
would bo willing to continue un inter

rpHE Evknixc UniifiKU is doing a great public scrv--
ice in presenting this series of articles about our
port. Few people outside of Philadelphia and not
many who are doing business in the city havo any
real notion of tlio importance and extent of our
maritime inlliience.
The Delaware i the greatest commercial river
in the United States, and it is now also prob
ably the greatest shipbuilding center of tho world.
Even so, it has not been developed .to its high
est state of efficiency, and will not be until tho
people themselves have been better infoimed as to
its tremendous possibilities.
The series of articles now appearing in the
KvKXixr, I,t:ir,Kit will help everybody to n better
understanding of the relationship df the port of
Philadelphia to the nation at large and to the en
tire world.
When we all realise that tlio Delawnie River is
not local, but national in its scope, the value of our
great river asset will be better appreciated.
