STILL |SUNSETTLE

The question, whether this Govern
ment is going to be content with the
assurances OF the German government
relative TO submarine warfare provid-
ei the German concessions extend
only on passenger liners and not 10
merchant vessels generally. continues
TO stand out prominently.
This Government never has said IL
would be satisfied with concessions re-
lating only to passenger liners. secrH.
tary Lansing was asked about the
matter today.
No public statement has been made
by the Secretary to indicate that the
state Department would feel satisfied
with assurances relative TO pa ssenger
liners only.
In fact, while this Government IL
glad to be reassured as to passenger
liners. there Is every reason to believe
that IT Will continue to contend that
visit and search and warning is az
much right belonging to merchant
ships generally in war as TO passenger
ships.

PEACE NOT SPURNED
IS MASOA'S BELIEF
Engianu's Reply TO Suggestion
Request for Details, Thinks
: War Expert.
r By J. w. r. MASON.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-England's re-
ply to Germany's tentative peace sug-
gestions is in effect request for moro
details. II is in no sense a refusal to
hearken to proposals for ending the
war, but must be accepted as evidence
that the British government wants to
hear further from Germany.
The British statement points out that
Germany's demand for freedom of tho
seas is only vaguely defined. and de-
clares further that Germany has said
nothing about France and Belgium.
When Germany is willing to make a
definite statement concerning these
matters, 1t will then be possible for
Great Britain to speak more effectively
The overthrow of militarism, which
England insists Is still one of the aims
for which she is hshting. can be at
land would consider militarism had
been defeated as the result of peace
negotiations IL France and Belgium
were evacuated by the German armies
without demanding indemnities; and in
particular II Germany were to MAKE a
money grant to Belgium for reconstruc-
tion purposes.
RnTiand's effort to put the peace ne
Eatii,tinns on q detniled basis Is un-
doubtediy step in tho right direction.
1t is the only way peace can be brought
about At the same time under modern
conditions OF government. when public
opinion exercises so dominant an in
fluerce. full publicity must be given to
the fundamental details OF n. peace
agreement. The governments Of the
Western nations can not make pledges
Of large Importance concerning the end
Ing OF the war. without first sounding
public orinion. Domestic resentment
against the individual members OF the
offending government other wiso would
be too vengeful.
For this reason there must be open
exchanges Of views. gradually increns-
Ing specific details as public opinion be-
comes accustomed to the idea OF maxi
ing compromises. At the same time
this open bargaining must proceed cau-
tiOusIy. because international negotia-
tors are always reluctant to reveal the
fuu concessions they are prepared to
make. Nevertheless. while caution Is Il
necessary element. 1t can be made too
expensive II carried too far. The total
cost of the war to all the belligerents is
over $500, ,00lC00 a week. This is a factor
Of vast Importance for urging that some

AMERICANS FIGHTING
ABROAD LOSE RIGHTS

American citizens. naturalized or
native born. who Join European
armies and take the oath OF allegiance
to foreign power automatically lose
their citizenship here under the law
of March 2. 1907, as Interpreted In
formally today by officials Of the bu-
reau OF naturalization.
The bureau has been investigating
several phases Of the citizenship rues-
tion presented since the outbreak of the
war. On of the qustions presented is
that OF naturalizd Americans who vol
untsrilv take the oath OF allegiance to
their old countries in enlisting in the
European struggle. 1t Is held at tho
bureau that such persons expntrin:e
themselves. and IL they we're to return
TO this country after the war they must
again Apply for naturalization.
The courts. however. are expected to
be more lenient with naturalized Ameri-
cans who are impressed into service by
their former countries There are
number Of instances Of this chara ctcr
involving natTaiized persons who re-
turned to the old country and were
called upon for military duty, 1t is
and the courts will not require this
class Of citizens to take out naturaIiza.
ton papers again.
The law Of 1907. according to an or.
f!chl Of the Department OF Lobor. pro-
vides specifically that a person entering
the military service OF a foreign gov
ernment and taking the oath Of alieri-
aEce therto expatriates himself. II is
assumed that when an American enters
European military service he takes an
oath of allegiance which would bring
him within the restrictions Of the law
here.
1t was stated today that this expat-
ration law applies not only to natural
lied Americans. but to native born.
The shouldering OF a musket for a for
eign ruler, therefore, means the loss OF
American citizenship
