Germans See
Peace Coming


shall probably have peace"
This remark by one of the most
highly placed and prominent state
officials in conversation with the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent may be
taken as indicating the view on the
probable duration of the war held in
German government quarters or at
any rate in certain influential circles
of the government
The person quoted occupies a posi-
ton which lends much weight to his
opinion on this subject and the re-
mark was made incidentally during a
discussion of certain future possibili-
ties in the Balkan situation.
Pressed to give a reason for his
opinion the official replied that he
based his expectation largely on "the
sound business sense of the British"
which would lead them to move for
peace as soon as they saw nothing
was to be gained by continuing the
war.
1--WE now hold the situation in the
East" he continued. Besides. a strong
fortified line enclosing a great con-
cave of French and Belgium territory
we shall soon have a similar line for
tilted in the west. Behind these two
lines we can sit tight and defy efforts
of our enemies to break through. l
have much confidence in the business
sense of the British and think that
when they once have found that the
Dardanelles cannot be forced, this
will lead them to take steps in the
direction of peace"
Since this conversation the cor
respondent of the Associated Press
has heard similar remarks from other
officials. Indications are that the
government is giving consideration to
the subject of peace. This discussion
and the oracular utterances of DR..
Karl Helsserich, secretary of the Ger.
man imperial treasury; Sir Edward
Grey, British foreign secretary, and
other responsible persons on possible
and impossible conditions of peace,
give color to the suspicion that some.
thing might be going on behind the
curtain. The Associated Press cor.
respondent believes that Germany's
terms at present include neither the
absorption Of Belgium nor other
wholesale annexations.
The cardinal point in the desires of
official Germany seems to be large
indemnity and the second cardinal
point is the restoration Of Germany's
colonial empire in undiminished form
with certain additions, presumably at
the expense of Belgium. That nation
would be permitted to retain it's in.
dependence with the exception Of the
Meuse line Of fortresses.

Wilson issued simultaneously today a
proclamation establishing an embargo
on shipment of arms and ammunition
to Mexico and an order excepting from
the prohibition the recognition de fac
to government of which General Car
rama is chief executive. The procla-
nation makes it clear that the United
States intends that no forces opposed
to the recognized government in Mex
leo, particularly those of General Villa,
shall obtain war ammunitions from
this country in the future. The ex-
ception modifies the proclamation so
that it virtually applies only to border
states of chihuahua, Sonora and Low
er California.
In forcing the embargo the treasury
will have the cooperation of the de-
partment of state war and justice.
Orders will be telegraphed tomorrow
to custom officials along the border
and. at both coasts of the United
States. Consular officers, agents of the
department of justice and United
States district attorneys on the border
have been advised and instructions to
cooperate probably will go to Major
General Funston as soon as the state
department informs Secretary CARR
son just what the army is expected to
do. A cablegram to the Carranza
agency today describes scenes of re-
joicing in Mexico City over the news
of Carranza's recognition.
Mexican revolutionary elements
here friendly to General Carranza
were today celebrating his recogni-
ton by the United States and other
Latin American republics as the chief
chief executive of the de facto govern
ment in Mexico. It was the goal for
which the various factions had striven
for almost three years. The first
chiefs friends here regard the action
as triumph of Pan.American policy.
They claim that his recognition means
the restoration of peace and normal
conditions within the southern repub-
lie in short time.
Eliseo Arrendondo, personal repre-
sentative of General Carranza, was
preparing today to leave for Saltillo,
Mexico, where he will personally con-
vey to General Carranza letters Of re-
cognition from the governments of the
United States and the South and Cen
trail American republics. He expects
to depart within the next 4S hours.
Congratulations were being received
by him at the Mexican embassy over
the recognition. A number Of di,lo.
mats called in person while many tele.
grams were received. F
Mr.. Arredondo was the proud pos
SCISSOR today of a letter from Secretary
of State Lansing formally notifying
him Of Carranza's recognition and ex-
pressing the intention to send an am
bassador to Mexico soon. It virtually
has been decided today to name Henry
P. Fletcher, now ambassador to Chile,
for the new post. Renewed assurances
are given in statement today by Mr..
Arredondo that foreigners in Mexico
will be given protection and that for
eign capital will be welcomed.

 marine warfare but the very violence of an understanding indicates that the latter are not without Influence.
 The Cologne Gazette points out editorial1y that the German press in general has shown satisfaction that President Wilson's communication offers opportunity for an understand ing and expresses the belief that di- plomacy on both sides of the Atlantic will work with zeal and good will to this end.
 ..n is quite certain the German government, at least, will do this and will be generally supported therein by the people,
 This newspaper continuesi
 stIt would be pure imbeeility to seek to drag in without necessity a ninth or tenth enemy for ourselves even though its part in the war should be limited to supplying quad rl1ple alliance with money and am munitions.
 ssWe say without necessity; for rec ognition of the fact that Germany is acting in self-defense in using the torpedoes of it's su9marines against hostile merchantn1en so long as Eng lands maintains it's business blockade against us should, we believe, be a condition which the United States should recognize as preliminary to negotiations. "
 In a leading article entitled Bad Advice" the Cologne Gazette takes the Lokal Anzeiger to task for att tempting to palliate the British sstarV- ing out policy and expectations from America of war supplies.
 Regarding the exportation of nauni- tions, from the United States, the Gazette adopts the argument of Phi1- fpp zorn. German member of the Hague tribunals, that although the convention adopted at The Hague j1stifies sales by private concerns, neutral state is bound to prohibit sales of this nature when the com rnerce in arms assumes an extent that continuation of war is directly de- pendent thereon.
 That the German representatives Cat The Haguel voted in favor of per-. mission to deliver arms is incontesta- ble'' the article continues, tsbut there is a great difference Between stamping every sale of arms by a private firm in a neutral state as a violation or neutralfty-th was what the German representatives objected to-and ar guing that to supply enormous quan- titles to one group of belligerents alone and to- devote practically the entire available industry of a country thereto, Is consonant with the spirit Of trde neutra1ity.'
 Captain yon KuchlWetter, the nav al expert of the Tag, points out that the American note passes over in si- Ience the German representations re- garding the British admiralty's in structions to merchantmen to seek cover under neutral flags and attack st1bn arines under this cover. He declares this is the kernel of the whole argument and the Justification for the German hpalduy .vaft t9s
 If a submarine attacks ship there is an outcry about barbarians who violate international law and en- danger innocent neutral passengers.' Captain Von Kueh1wetter continues:

Band of Bicycle
 Thieves Busy Here

In an epidemic of bicycle thefts that have been reported in this city during the last few days, Martin Kane, the we'll known business agent of the Carpenters and Joiners' Union, living at 14S4 Park avenue is the loser of a new bicycle which he left standing in front of a new house on Kossuth street yesterday. MT. Kane came for his property just in time to see it ridden away by a young o1an.
 There has been large increase in bicycle thefts in this city during June and there is little doubt that a band is operating here. All those recently stolen are new machines of the better class. It is thought they are being shipped out of town.
