Show TOKIO EVINCES GREAT INTEREST IN PEACE NOTE TOKIO, Saturday, Dec. 23, 9:15 p. m. -President Wilson's note to the belligerent powers has been delivered to the Japanese Japa-nese government. The note has aroused extraordinary interest. The general view-by view-by the press is that, while it is not connected con-nected with the German peace proposal, it is not unreasonable to suppose the two eventually may be joined and lead to peace negotiations. The prediction is voiced that Japan and her allies will reply to President Wilson in the spirit of his idea, but it is commented that they entered en-tered the war "in the robe of peace." and that the efforts to "overthrow German militarism" are based upon a desire to solidify permanent world peace. |
