PRESIDENT TO END WAR
COUNT Won sERNsToRFF NOW
ADVISES KAISER THAT WILSON
is MAN FOR PEAcEMAkER.
western Newspaper Union New. Service.


Washington, Sept. 2.-Germany is
ready to make peace and wants Presi-
dent Wilson to handle her negotia-
tions with the allies.
This was the startling development
following Germany's complete surren-
der to every demand contained In
the Presidents recent notes calling on
the Kaiser to cease his submarine at
tacks on merchant ships on which
Americans were travelling.
Count Won Bernstorff came from
New York Tuesday night, and early
Wednesday morning communicated
to Secretary Lansing Germany's prom
Use to accede to the American de-
mands. as contained in President Will
sons notes.
The German reply is a pledge that
no more American lives will be sacri-
feed. and full reparation will be made
for those already killed.
The German note clears the atmos-
phere and averts the severance Of
friendl. relations.
Following the handing OF the note
to Secretary Lansing, Count Won
Bernstorff telegraphed the Kaiser. 1t
was said, that President Wilson is the
only man who can at present effect
peace.
New German terms are In course of
preparation and in official circles in
Washington 1t is believed that the end
of the war is at least in sight and
that Mr.. Wilson will serve as the in
termediary.
After his conference at the State
Department Ambassador Won Berns.
torff sent Secretary Lansing this let
ter:
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary:
with reference to our conversa-
tion of this morning | beg to inform
you that my instructions concerning
our answer to your last Lusitania
note contains tho following passage:
Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and with
out safety to the lives of the non-com-
batants provided that the liners do
not try to escape or offer resist
ance'
Although | know that you do not
wish to discuss the Lusitania ques-
tion till the Arabic incident has been
definitely and satisfactorily settled
| desire to inform you OF the above
because this policy OF my government
was decided on before the Arabic in
cident occurred
Il have no objection to your max
ing any use you may please OF the
above information.
Il remain. my dear Mr.. Lansing.
Very sincerely yours.
(Signed) ~. BERNSToRFF."
Statement by Lansing.
In connection with the letter Secre-
tary Lansing made the following
statement:
'In view OF the clearness OF the
foregoing statement II seems needless
to make any comment In regard to II
other than to say that II appears to
be "A recognition OF the fundamental
principle for which We have con
tended"
Count Won Bernstorffs letter was
forwarded TO President Wilson ms soon

Shad Still Scarce

The shad fishing season in the
Delaware river has been hamper
ed to a great extent by the strong
northeast wind which has been
prevailing lately, according to the
fishermen who assert that the wind
has driven shad and other fish
from the river. The shad season,
which is ordinarily good in the
early part of April has been very
poor, but few fish being caugh.
Local fishermen, however, predict
better luck in the near future as
the wind has changed and the
weather outlook is favorable.
Down the Delaware bay, oyster
men are busy planting seed oy-
sters, in preparation for the next
season, to start in the fall. The
seed oysters are selling for about
20 cents bushel, while full
grown ones bring $3.50 and So per
bushel.
Reports come from Buckroe
Beach, Va, to the effect that fish,
men there have had the biggest
catch of shad, for this time of the
year, in the history of the beach
The fish bring a market price OF
$1.00 per roe shad.
