RUMORS OF PEACE
ARE AGAIN AFLOAT
REPORTED THAT GERMANY is TO
ASK FOR PEACE THROUGH
PRESIDENT WILSON.
Story is That Ambassador Gerard is
Coming Home to Lay Request Of
Germany for Peace Before the
President.

New York.-The New York Evening

source that Ambassador James w.
Gerard. now on his way back from

Germany has definitely decided to
apply to President Wilson," the ar
ticle reads, "to use his good offices in
suing for peace with the allies. This
was learned Friday from sources in
position to have absolutely trust
worthy information on these matters.
1T Is understood that Ambassador
James w. Gerard. who is on his way
over here, will lay the kaiser's re-
quest before President Wilson within
a week. Il is a fact, how
ever positively it may have been de-
MED officially, that the possibility OF
President Wilson acting as mediator
has been discussed by German Off
Gals with Ambassador Gerard. 1t is,
by no means surprising
that the reports now take definite

No satisfactory Settlement Of Border

Atlantic city. n. Satisfactory so
luton Of internal questions having an
International bearing must be an inte-

can members OF the joint commission

intention OF the Mexican government
TO so handle such affairs that there

matte correspondence with other gov

The matters especially referred to
by the American commissioners were
those affecting the status and rights OF

Stockholm Prime Minister Ham
marksiold on Wednesday in an inter

done. or intends to do. anything in
consistent with this attitude are due
either TO failure to comprehend her
situation or 20 some legs creiitable
reason.
Whenever Sweden has taker, any

That an ill wind, even an onion
smell, blows somebody good was shown
in police court, Brooklyn. by Simon
Silverman, an onion peddler.
Slyerman missed his roll of $50. A
woman told him she had just passed
two men. one of whom was saying:
You found it; you keep it."
The peddler called a policeman, who
took the pair to court. On one $40 In
bills was found. The policeman asked
Silverman if he could identify his
money.
Don't give them to me, Mr.. Police
man." exclaimed the peddler. IF
they smell of onions they're mine"
The onion Odor convinced the COD.
Silverman got the money and the pris-
oner was held.

GRANT NEUTRALS
USE OF HARBORS
LIBERTY OF ACTION RESERVED
IN DEALING WITH sELLIG-
ERENT SUBMARINES.
American Government Refuses TO Ac-
cept Contention of Allies That
Neutrals Must Deny Subma-
rines Use of Harbors.

Washington.-The American memo
randum on use Of neutral waters by
belligerent submarines. the text of
which was made public by the state
department Wednesday night, de-
clares the allies have failed to show
why such vessels should be denied en-
trance to neutral ports and that no
circumstances have been set forth
rendering the usual provisions of in
ternational law inapplicable to under
water craft.
The United States reserves com
plete liberty of action in dealing with
belligerent submarines
No specific mention of the Deutsch-
land is made in the memorandum al
though the allied communication is
understood to have been prompted by
the failure of the United States to con-
slider that vessel as having any char
acteristics making her status different
from that of the ordinary merchant
man.
The memorandum, originally sent to
France, Great Britain, Russia and
Japan August 81, in reply to their
identic memorandum of August %,
later was sent also to Italy and POrtu-
gal While the allied communication
was published some time ago, the
American reply was not given out till
Wednesday, when the recent U-hoat
activities seemed to make public
statement of the governments posi-
ton imperative
President Wilson and Secretary Of
State Lansing discussed in detail at
Shadow Lawn Wednesday night Ger
man submarine attacks on merchant
men Sunday off the New England
coast. The conference lasted until
late at night and will be continued.
1t was indicated by officials that the
facts so far collected through govern
mental agencies have disclosed no |
grounds for drastic action by the
United States government because of
the attacks themselves. No evidence
has been found that International law
has been violated by the German sub
marine or submarines. 1t was under
stood, however, that the president and
tary Lansing discussed the wis
iom of pointing out to Germany the
of operating her sub
marines in proximity to the interna-
ional waters of the United States.

lNCURABLE DEFECT IN BRAIN
Color Blindness Cannot Be Over
Come, Though Word Blindness
May Be AIleViated.

Two defects In regard TO sight
word-biindness and color-blindness-
are described by an English writer.
He points out that they are not de-
| fects of the eyes at all, but are really
mental defects, and, curiously enough,
are found very often in clever men,
the discoverer of the liberalization,
the great scientist-being himself
color-blind.
Color-blndness occurs in about
three to four per cent of males and In
a smaller number Of females. It In
frequently hereditary, but, strangely
enough, though the males suffer from
the defect, the females carry 1t on
COlOr-blindness is defect In the
registering apparatus in the brain and
is incurable. 1t is of Importance ts
recognize the defect early, and to turn
the attention of the sufferer to work
in which this defect will not be a han
dicap. Such children should learn
early that there is no work for them
on the railway.
Word-blindness is a much more Sc
rious defect, and may be the cause OF
the difficulty some children find In
learning to read. They see correctly
Tested with figures or pictures, they
may pass the standard, but the let
tiers of the alphabet, when strung to-,
gether to form words, convey no mean
Ing to them. The effect is due to g.
want of association of the brain CEN
ters. The defect is usually mistaken
at first to indicate defective eyesight,,
but this is not so. 1t is noteworthy
that these same children may show
considerable ease in reading figures
even money sums. To teach these
children to read, words must not be.
taken letter by letter, but as a whole.
the word "cat" must be taken not as
Cat" equals cat, but the whole
thing must be the sign for cat. The
method is known as the look and say'i
plan, and by its aid it is possible to
leach the child to read.
