“This proposal was made at the
time when the armies of both sides
had already crossed the frontier
and when it seemed not of the'
question to call a halt to events.
The emperor could, therefore, only
have his thanks conveyed to
President Wilson for his offer arid
thereby remark that while the
present moment was too early for
mediation bythe neutral powers
the president's friendly proposal
might. later be accepted.
“The emperor then conversed
for some time further with Mr.
Gerard and explained to him the
events that led up to the outbreak
of'war. The emperor particularly
pointed out that the ambiguous
