actly like mammoth rose, shad-
ing out from pure white to a
beautiful pale green, while the
SHINY leaves in the heart were
traced by rich red veins thru
each separate petal-a thing of
rare beauty and emphasized as
symbolic of the interesting

KA|SER'S MOTIVES
Continued From Page One.l

| The Lusitania affair, coming as a
sort of a climax to other thing done
by Germany has served to cause a
vast amount of discussion of the Ques.
| ton whether Germany could have any
| motive for crowding the United States
into war, and what that motive might
be. A number of interesting theories
are being debated.
One of them is that Germany would
not be unwilling to see the United
States definitely enlisted with the al
lies, because when 1t came to writing
the peace terms she would expect this
country to throw the weight of its IN
fiuence for terms favorable to Ger
many
To be more specific, this theory is
that Germany would expect the case
for naturalization of the seas, which
she favors, to be greatly helped if the
United States were an active factor
in the peace negotiations
AS viewed here, Great Britain will
not relish the naturalization of the
seas, as this would mean the virtual
abolition of her navy and the end of
her supremacy On the seas. But the
United States, backed by strong Pan
American sentiment, might be expect
ed to support naturalization.
Whether this thought is what is
actually. in the backs of the heads of
the Kaiser and his advisers or not, is
something which cannot be definitely
told. But it is known that some of
the chieftans close to the President
/ have pondered it over.
| To Reckon With Unexpected.
Another theory entertained by some
well-informed officials, including a
prominent senator. who discussed 1t
recently, is that Germany believes If
this country actually went to war, 1t
would shut down on the export of arms
and ammunition to the European allies.
In view of the enormous facilities in
this country for the manufacture of
| war munitions, it is doubtful If this
would be the effect In other words,
American plants capable of manufac-
turing war munitions, might be able to
make heavy shipments to Europe and
at the same time supply the United
States.
Still the course of things interna-
tional since last July has departed far
from what is sound and sane from
the American viewpoint American Of
ficials are beginning to believe that
in these parlous times they can reckon
chiefly with the unexpected.
The anxiety felt here over the danger
to neutral shipping by reason of Ger
many's submarine war is not peculiar
to Washington and this country alone.
1t Is apparent that the neutral coun-
tries Of Europe are viewing with grow
Ing apprehension the submarine war
fare on their shipping.
This is indicated by the fact that
the Swedish minister. w. A. r. Eken-
gren. had long conference yester-
day with Counselor Lansing. and later
