Now. according to this rumor-which
is. as I have said, little better than
rumor-Germany has been offering
Russia the Dardanelles as the price OF
a sonarate peace. Turkey is only
nawn of Germany in this game. but she

II is in Germany's power to withdra"
all her officers and auxiliary troops
from Turkey and to withhold all am
munition and munitions of war, and; IN
short. TO leave Turkey, her weak any
in such condition that mere slap
would topple her over. The Germans,
according to rumor. have been oherlng
this price. and it may have tempted
Russia. whose chief national ambition
for a century has been the great warm
water port. Hence the haste OF France
and England to clear and selze the
Dardanelles on behalf OF the Alliance.
This report may be n German lnven-
ton; after hearing all the rumors
which float about Europe these days

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
WORKING FOR PEACE
Believe War Must End
Soon Because of DiSaS-
trOus Economic Effects.
AGAINST ANNEXATION
OF ANY TERRITORY
Want Alsace and Lorraine Au.
tonomous and DardanelleS
UnneutraliZed.

The Hague, April 21.-The Socialists
of Germany are making an earnest Ell
fort TO find a basis on which peace can
be brought about. DR.. Breitscheidt, a
prominent member of the German So
cialist party. is now in Holland consult
ing the Dutch Socialist leaders, with a
view to getting into communication
with the British and, through them,
with the French Socialists in an en-
deavor 70 bring pressure to bear on the
various governments.
The German Socialists are said TO be
virtually unanimously in favor of peace
and against any annexation OF terri
tory.
The general view Of the Socialists, it
is said, is that Alsace and Lorraine
should not belong TO France or Ger
many, but should be autonomous.
1t is reported that the great East
Prussian landowners are trying TO treat
for peace with Russia, owing TO fears
that their property will suffer, but the
Socialists are said to have expressed
the opinion that the prospects of a
durable peace are more likely through
an arrangement of terms by Germany
with France and England and by the
evacuation Of Belgium.
1t is declared that the German So
cialists believe It will not be feasible
to internationalize or neutralize the
Dardanelles until a United States Of
Europe has been formed.
The Socialists of Germany assert
that it will be impossible to starve
Germany, but express the belief that
the war cannot continue much longer
because of the disastrous effects on the
economic conditions Of all the countries
engaged.

acy at the present moment. They indi-
cate doubtless another thing. As mat
tiers stand at present, Germany faces
defeat or a drawn battle. The army
having failed in that splendidly des-
perate attempt to overrun Europe, Ger,
many falls back upon diplomacy ana
tries 10 bring about new alignment OF
forces.
While | am speaking Of reports, here
is one which came true, either by CO.
incidence or by policy. A fortnig ut ago

seen much of Germany since the war.
To him | spoke scornfully Of Zeppelins'
Don't you believe that the Zeppelin
attacks have been abandoned" he said;
"I'm not saying that the Zeppelins Will
do much damage, but they're coming.
It will happen when the Germans have
a setback. The rulers of Germany or
ganized public opinion wonderfully.
Just as they organize everything. 10

the edge off from defeat. For example,
if the Dardanelles fall, look for Yep

A few days afterward Przemysl fell.

ny C,bl. to The Tribune

Petrograd, April 21.-The counter
attack of the Bavarian army against
the Russian left wing IN the Carpa-
thians has now been definitely stopped.
The Russians have reoccupied the hill
village Of Cavtchik, four miles west OF
KoIiomoka and overlooking the Nun
kacz-Stryj road. This attempted Ger
man advance northward has been the
only serious threat the Russians have
had to meet since they crossed the
main ridge The Austrians have Writ
ually evacuated Bukowina. Generally
the situation in the southern campaign
is now very favorable to the Russians
There are signs of discord between
the Germans and Archduke Frederick,
who Is the nominal commander OF the
entire Austro- German combination.
The Germans are ready 10 sacrifice
Hungary, at least. economically, by
fighting a series Of rearguard actions
and drawing the Russians down toward
the Middle Danube. This would re-
lieve the Silesian flank, where great
German forces are now being deployed
from Cracow, chiefly along the Duna-
jecz.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg re-
tains in nearly full strength his ex-
IRENE northern army which attempted
70 reach the Niemen in February along
the borders of East Prussia, but he has
sent great numbers from their winter
position on the Narew, Bzura and
Rawka rivers southwark 70 JOIN the
Austrians on the Pilica and Nida
rivers. thus making a continuous and
strongly held line from Piotrokow TO

also threatened by the Russians, and
may be the scene of great battle pc
fore it is possible to move further
south from the lower slopes OF the
Carpathians.
Explosive Bullets Found.
The Austrians on the Pilics are using
only explosive bullets, despite the fact
that General Selivanof, who directed
the siege Of Przemysl, Informed zen
eral Kusmanek on January 20 that
prisoners carrying explosive bullets
would be shot as criminals. Docu-

In his address in the Commons to-
! day, Mr. Lloyd George. Stain. that as
much ammunition had been expended
in the battle of Neuve Chapelle as
during the whole Boer war, which
asted two years and nine months, said
that the character Of the ammunition
had to be changed in the middle of the
war and to secure supplies sub-con-
tracts were given to between $3.50 and
5000 firms. When il was found that
they could not keep up the supplies. the
government took steps TO take over all
work suitable for the manufacture Of
munitions. As a result there had been
a great increase in the output.
