LAST FRENCH CLAIM ARGUED
Spoliation Suits Grow Out Of Re-
prisals During War.

The last of the so-called French
spoliation cases arising out of diff
cultfes between this country and
France more than a century ago have
Just been argued and submitted to the
Court of Claims.
In all $3.50 cases have been adjudi-
Gated before this court and Congress
has appropriated almost 100000 in
payment of that courts findings.
There remains to be paid about $1,000
900 more.
These cases arose after Congress
passed an act authorizing American
citizens having valid claims for indem-
nifty against the French government,
prior to the treaty Of 1860. to bring
suit to recover.
The claims grew out of reprisals on
American commerce made after the
United States had failed to keep the
terms Of an early treaty with France
when that nation was at war with
England.

SOCIALISTS START
PEACE MOVEMENT
Germans Would Approach
Members of Party in A.
lied Countries.
SENTIMENT is GENERAL
FOR END OF CONFLICT
Believe That Alsace and Lorraine
Should Be Autonomous-Think
War Cannot Last Long.

THE HAGUE April 22.-The social
lists of Germany are making an earnest
effort to seek for basis on which the
cessation of the war can be brought
about. DR.. Breitschedt. a prominent
member of the German socialist party.
is now in Holland consulting the Dutch
socialist leaders with view to getting
into communication with the British,
and. through them. with the French
socialists in an endeavor to bring pres
sure to bear on the various gov
ernments.
Unanimous for Peace.
1t is declared that the German social
lists are virtually unanimous in favor
of peace and against any annexation
of territory. 1t is said that although
the socialist newspapers in Germany
are not permitted. under penalty Of
suspension, to publish criticisms of the
government or express skept1cism de-
garding the results OF the war, at a
party were admitted and from which
the police were absent free discussions
in favor Of 1eace took place.
The general view of the socialists, It
is said. is that Alsace and Lorraine
should belong to neither France nor
Germany, but should be autonomous.
The argument is that II France re-
captures the provinces ranking for
vengeance would be held by a large
part of the population. which, 1t Is
asserted. does not desire to be gov
erned by the French, and that there
fore the situation would be as bad as
ever.
East Prussians Want Peace.
1t is reported that the great East
Prussian land owners are trying to
treat for peace with Russia, owing to
fears that their property will suffer.
but the socialists are said TO have ex-
pressed 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 evacuating Belgium.
With reference to the Dardanelles it
is declared that the German socialists
believe that it will not be feasible to
internationaliZe or neutraliZe the
straits until United States of Europe
has been formed. They assert that the
futility of neutrality has already been
shown.
The socialists of Germany assert that
it will be impossible to starve Ger
many but express the belief that the
war cannot continue much longer in
consequence of the disastrous effect on
the economic conditions of all the
countries engaged.
