The good work that hmba ssndor Ger

out OF Germany was praised yesterday by
Mrs. Herman Green OF Brookiyn. who
recently returned from Rotterdam.
Ambassador Gerard has been uniag-
gng in his efforts" she said. "and II lid
not tighten his burdens any to find that
much OF his work was unapprcc ated The
chief difficulty he encountered was not
with the Germans but with his fellow
countrymen, some of whom seemed to
think that they were entitled to n special

ocean for themselves.

Germany Rejects Idea
of Peace at Any Price

American Governments interest and Of
fer OF services in trying to make peace.
Germany did not want war, but had Ii
forced on her. Even II she defeats Franco
she must likewise vanquish poth Great
britain and Russia, as all three have
made an agreement not to make peace
except by common consent
similarly England has announced
through Premier Asquth and her diplo-
matists and newspapers that she intended
TO fight to the limit Of her endurance.
In view of that determination ON tho
part of Great Britain. the United states
ought to get proposals Of peace from the
allies. Germany could accept only "a
lasting peace one that would make her
people secure against future attacks. To
accept mediation now would be inter-
preted by the allies as sign Of weak
ness on the part OF Germany and would
be misunderstood by the German people,
who, having made great sacrifices. had
the right to demand guarantees OF Sc
Curity."
That IL all that Ambassador Gerard
communicated as to his conversation.
lie added only the brcf comment that
he himself thought the way might pos
slbly be opened to mediation.

Is confronted.
"Snce the middle of the eighteenth
century democracy has had Paris for
It's centre. II is from there that a series
OF democratic waves started which,
sweeping In all directions. struck the
walls OF absolntism Heretofore so un-
shakable. The first wave helped to re-
move tho wall which stood In the way
of American independence. The next
two. those OF 1880 and 1S4S. broke the
barriers OF reaction In all the neighbor-
ing countries, and soon France was SUR
rounded by nations which owed to her
universal suffrage and other constitu-
tional guarantees.
During that same period the centre
of absolutism had been located In Ber-
lin. Prussian Cgsariem had had mar
row escape In iS4S and regarded France
as it's natural enemy precisely because.
with varying fortunes. democracy had
clung there and had awakened demo-
cratic aspirations in Germany as well as
elsewhere In Europe.

GERMANY NOT READY.
UnwiliinE to Treat for Peace Now,
Says the Cha pcrlIor.

WAsUiNGToN, Sept. 1I.--Germanys re-
ply to the Informal peace ov"rtures OF tho
United States Government contains moth
ing to encourage Washington officials in
tho belief that Germany Is ready to lnlu-
ate peace proposals.
The reply received to-day came In the
form OF message from the Imperial
Chancellor at Berlin. II was sent In re-
sponse to an informal inquiry made by
Ambassador Gerard at the direction OF
this Government as to whether or not
Germany was prepared TO discuss peace.
This inquiry was undertaken by the
Washington officials after Oscar Straus
had gained the impression through q con-
Versation with Count Won Bernstorff, the
German Ambassador that there was a
likelihood that Germany would he willing
to talk peace with her enemies II was
explained at the time, however. that Count
Won Bernstorffs remarks expressed merely
his personal opinions and not the vie"s
of the German Government.
President Wilson does not regard the
reply from the Imperial Chancellor as
absolutely foreclosing any chance OF
peace discussion as the result OF the pres
ent overtures, but Il was apparent that
the Washington Government could lind
nothing in the communication that would
commit Germany TO peace negotiations
at this time.
In other words, Germany's reply has
left the status OF the situation unchanged.
l. does not preclude the sending "A fur
ther communication from the German
Government or from the Kaiser himself
in reply to the inquiry OF the United
States.
The reply as interpreted here simply
means that at the time when Il was
n nded to Amba ssador Gerard the Ger
man Government was not ready TO COM
init Itself in any way to the peace efforts
Initiated by the United States.
The contents Of the communication
from the Imperial Chancellor were not
made public. but the message was de-
scr.bed by the very highest authority al
a nero acknowledgment OF the inquiry
by the United States. II was added au-
| thoritatvely that tho message was non
committal but contained some comment

WASHINGTON, Sept. l7.--Thc British

marv toward peace AS outlined by Count
Won Bernstorff. II can he said, however
that neither England nor France expects
any progress In peace proposals until
there has been n decisive turn In the iight-
Itg. Their attitude Is that the war has
gone so far that peace must now be de-
termiled on the battlefield.
Both France and England have eX-
pressed a willingness In reply to inquiries
OF the United States to discuss any peace
proposals made to them. but they have
pointed out that such proposals must be
submitted IN definite form.
1t is known that France and England
are prepared to make demands to which
Germany carnot acc.de. Both will de-
mand the Naturalization OF Belgium for
all losses sustained through the violation
OF her neutrality. England will not be
