 ID DEFENSE BOARD
Thinks It Awful That Presi- dent Shouldn't Let Pre-
 sumptuous Officers Rule.

Washington, April 1O-Representa- tive A. P. Gardner of Massachusetts, at a dinner he gave tonight to the "reserve, army of the United States" made the charge that President Will son year ago ordered that no more meetings be held of the joint army and navy board, which prepare plans for tte defense of the, country.
 Mir. Gardner sad:
 q have awaited this occasion to reveal an outrage which, owing to the reticence of all concerned, has never been told About a year ago, there was in the minds of many per sons serious danger of international trouble in the Pacific ocean. At that time a board composed Of first army officers and the highest navy officers was in existence. It met to consider what ought to be done in an emerg- ency. Tho members of the board went before the president with rec ommendation that certain precau- tions should immediately be taken.
 "The president flushed With anger at the effrontery of these distinguish ed officers, and peremptorily forbade the board to meet again.

kalser's Government Would Ascertain Strength of the
 Ties of Opponents.
MIGHT QUIT WAR ON
 FRANCE AND RUSSIA
Diplomats Think "Peace Talk' Reyiy. ed by Germany Only to Ascertain If There Is Possibility of Winning
 France, Russia from England.

Washington, April 10.-That the "peace story" now being exploited throughout the United States is a "plant' by the German government. was the report in official circles to- day.
 According 10 the story, all know ledge of which is denied by govern ment officials, Germany has revived the peace talk because she wishes to sound the full strength of the al- liance between GreGt Britain. France and Russia.
 If she finds that Russia is suscepti- ble to discussion of peace, she will re-double her efforts at Petrograd to bring about a separate pact with the Muscovite empire, it is stated, and if France is found amiable to peace talk, she will do the same thing in Paris.
 Germany is basing this propaganda, according to reports in Washington, on the belief that the war must last for several years longer, unless peace be concluded soon. She has no doubt of her ability to sustain a defensive indefinitely. but is said to beosve that when France and England begin their new operations on the WesterL front they will be committed to a fight to a bitter end.
 The position of Italy also is caus- ing concern to Germany, the reports say, and the reported weakening of is viewed as a po- tent factor in Germany's ca'cula- tions.
 Another motive attributed to Ger- many is to Dr4ng about a temporary wave of peace talk so as to enable her to market the new bond issue more advantageously.
 Officia! Washington does not belleV' however, that Genmany will find any inclinat on on the part of the allies to talk peace at the present time.
 Slays Continue Attacks.
