washington NOV. 3.-EmperOr Will
helm, in his conference last week with
/ Ambassador Gerard. argued that Ger
| many and the United States should be
/ friends in order to combat the yellow
/; peril"
Mr.. Gerard's message describing the
views Of his majesty as expressed in
| a conference lasting about an hour
has been kept close secret by the adj
ministration Nevertheless, newspaper
correspondents have, uncovered some
Of the features Of the report sent by
the ambassador. of which the refer
ence to the apprehensions of the en-
!. peror regarding the future are of the
most Importance.
| The ostensible object Of the en-
peror in receiving Mr.. Gerard was to
give him message for Transmission
to the president congratulating the
latter upon his engagement to Mrs.
Calf. The head Of the German nation
expressed his warm wishes for the
happiness of Mr.. Wilson and his pro-
spective bride.
Forecasts Race War.
Following Mr.. Gerard's promise
promptly to cable the message given
by him to the president, the emperor
launched discussion of the war sit
uation and the future. The yellow
peril always has been Of serious con-
Germ to his majesty. He coined the
phrase years ago and the world has
escaped up to this time the conflict
he forecast. while it has become in
volved in the most serious war in its
, history, with Europe as the battle
field.
Nevertheless, the emperor, from
what he said to Mr.. Gerard, believes
the time will come when the white
will be forced to combat the yellow
race. He pointed out that Japan, by
the concessions she exacted some
months ago from China, is aiming at
the domination of that country.
Sees Huge Jap Army.
II she should be successful in arriv-
ing at the goal toward which she is
traveling-and the bloody strife among
white nations prevents any real re-
striction Of her ambition-she will
form an army of millions Of trained
men and fleet of immense proper
tions In order to extend her power
thruout the world.
The emperor believed the views he
expressed should receive the serious
consideration Of the government and
people OF the United States.
kaissr Favors Peace.
Exactly what, If anything, Emperor
Wilhelm said about peace is not
known; but no action has been taken
to communicate his views on this sub
ject to the allies and nothing will be
! done.
Germany, Of course, would like to
have peace. She is in control Of ter
ritory belonging to her enemies and
has been uniformly victorious She
Is in condition to make more salts
factory peace than the allies believe
she will be able to make in the fu-
ture.
Emperor Wilhelm has favored peace
for some months, but the allies have
refused to listen to it. because their
prestige would be absolutely destroyed
even though the powers that have lost
territory should regain it as the result
Of a treaty Of peace.
The administration makes no con-
cealment Of It's satisfaction over the
reception Of Mr. Gerard by the en-
peror. and his evident desire to re-
establish friendly relations with the
United States. It is hoped the en-
[perors attitude Will. be reflected in
the policy his government will as
! sumo.
Lusitania Case Up Again.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, called on Secretary Lam
sing today. prepared to discuss the
Lusitania incident with that official.
Little progress was made.
It is believed that conference
which will lead to the final settle
ment Of the matter will be held after
the publication this week of the lat
est American note to Great Britain
protesting against violations of Amer
/ lean commercial rights. This note will
cause the German people to realize
that this government Is not objecting
to their course exclusively, but Is de-
termined to have its rights respected
by all belligerents.
