ALLIES SAY Time Is
NOT RIPE FOR PEACE

Paris, April 21-"This is no time
even to suggest peace talk. Stoppage
of the war at this time would benefit
only Germany.
THE allies have assumed the task
of crushing Prussian militarism and
must refuse to be diverted from that
task"
That is the word given Colonel L.
Nj. House. personal friend and observ-
er for President Wilson, who is now
in this city Because of various sto-
ries in circulation coupling the Amer
lean financier with a real peace mis-
sion a high official of the government
visited him II was desired to pre-
vent embarrassment and the visit was
unofficial. But the position of the
allies was made very plain.
In blunt, courteous language Colo
mel House was told that if he desired
to initiate a movement for peace this
is not the time. Such a mission is
worse than useless. Any real or at
tempted movement to end the war
with the German troops holding the
long liue through French territory
and Belgium would give Germany
too great an advantage. And Colonel
House was told that France could
view only with disfavor the initiation
of a movement for Germany's bene
fit.
The allies are now prepared, he
was told with men, money and am
munition to continue the war until
Germany is completely defeated. The
countries are under the necessity oil

EVIDENCE Is INSUFFICIENT

Swoboda. says the Petit Parsien.
Captain Bouchardon, the officer ap.
pointed to investigate the case, is
credited with having expressed the
opinion that there is not sufficient evil
dence against the prisoner to obtain
a conviction on this charge. He still
faces an accusation of espionage, how.
ever.
Swoboda. who admitted at a pre-
liminary hearing that his real name
is Raymond Schwind, was removed

Captain Bouchardon. He is now per.

PEACE RUMORS ARE CURRENT
Rome Dispatches Hint at General
Peace in Near Future.

Rome, April 21.-Within the past
twenty-four hours persistent reports
have arisen in Rome that the grave
international questions confronting
Italy may be solved in the near fu-
ture by what at first sight seems al
most incredible-the conclusion of a
general peace in Europe at a near
distant date.
While these reports are intangible
and cannot at present be ascribed to
a definite source they nevertheless
are reflected in high quarters and
they are given heed by careful OBJ
servers of international policies.
Among other reasons in support of
this argument is offered that Rome
Is an excellent field for the conduct
