PLAN TO END WAR.
Henry Clews Suggests Ways Peace
 May Be Restored in Europe.

New York, Aug. 7.--Germany to sell to France Lorraine for an equivalent of. its real value and retire from France and Belgium, but to have commercial access to the. Belgian set- port, which would be declared a free port; Germany to pay over to Belgium the amount acquired from Franco to restore Belgium; the colonies to be restored to Germany to be England's and Japan's peace concessions; Aus tria and Italy to agree between each other for a settlement and urged to do so by the other nations; Constaf- tinople to be a free port to appease Russia, Turkeytto acquiesce and Aus tria and Servia to agree between themselves to settle their differences; esta blish a world court able to enforce its decrees by an international police force of the world--military and naval forces superior to those of any single power in the world.
 . All the above nations to pledge themselves for a peace to last fifty years at least, agreeing as advantages to be gained thereby to reduce their armies and navies to a peace basis, which would admit, during that period, of their liquidating their lia- bilities incurred by the war. All these nations to obligate themselves to work in unison to maintain peace not only amongst themselves but throughout the world. I feel quite sure that the United States, South America and China would gladly join in the com bination for the great advantages that would accrue to them by the certain assurance of peace prevailing for the. next fifty years.

 President of the American
