word around that peace proposals viii be entertained
That the allies viii yield to the suggestion is less
likely Careful study Of the present lineup of the allies
will show that many of them at this moment not
so much concerned to smash Germany they are to
gain something for themselves that they have long
eted This VIII operate to proong the war, especially
since the allies all bound not to conclude separate
peace.
As the war goes on, Germany's position viii tend
to decline in relation the combined allies. Britain
especially, is slow to get her maximum forces into
action but her public and her press have already
dropped the big talk of rush to Berlin and the
humiliation Of the German empire, and have begun to
train the British public to think of the problem
of attrition, of slow grinding. But Germany will be
able to hold her own the very end, and viii not be
crushed Final peace viii be by agreement not by die
tation. And Of the very ambitious powers are
going to be very bitterly disappointed.
From now on the world may expect to read frequent
references to tentative terms Of peace proposed by
the Central Empires and the indignant refusal voiced
by the allies through official spokesmen Gradually the
distance between the viii be narrowed, and with
the ghtful losses all sides and the constant wearing

ATLANTIC FLEET TO

Eastern Squadron Will Not Be Sent

DITCH NOT IN SHAPE, ANYWAY

WASHINGTON, May 12.--While
Secretary Daniels said again tonight
that he had not finally determined
to abandon plans for sending the At
lantic fleet through the Panama ca
nal next month to San Francisco. It
now is regarded in official circles as
virtually certain. that the fleet will
be kept on the Atlantic coast.
Mr.. Daniels had a further confer
ence during the day with Captain
Hugh Rodmsn, marine superinteud-
ent of the canal. who told him that
although a vessel drawing thirty feet
Of water could be towed through the
waterway at this time, the canal was
only being used by day and dredging
was going on steadily every night
Major General Goethals talked
with the secretary yesterday and II
is understood advised that while II
would be possible to put the battle
ships through now he could give no
assurance of what conditions would
be in June. and could not promise
that the fleet. once through, would
not have its return blocked by
new slides.
