other devices.
The second machine to arrive struck
the top of flag pole about 80 feet
from the ground as the aviator
sought a landing and fell heavily into
ditch. Neither the aviator nor the
passenger with him was injured, but
one of the wings of the machine was
damaged.
Attitudes ranging from 1000 to, s.
900 feet were attained during the
flight, the aviators said.

Peace Offer q Sham

Peace Offer q Sham.
The note then reviews a history of
diplomatic exchanges leading to war
to show it was precipitated by Teu-
tonic powers. Continuing it says:
At the present mouent sham offers
on the part of Germany rest on q
superficial and passing phase of the
situation not on the real strength of
the belligerents. Peace concluded on
the terms of the "war map" would
be only to the advantage of the ag-
gressors, who, after imagining they
reach their goal in two months, dis
covered after two years, that they
could never attain it. Disasters
caused by the German declaration of
war and islnumerable outrages COM
mitted against both belligerents and
neutraIs, demand penalties, repara-
ton and guarantees. Germany avoids
mention of any of these. In reality
the overtures are nothing more than
a calculated attempt to influence the
future course of the war and end it
by imposing German peace. Final
ly the overtures are an attempt to
Justify in advance a new series of
crimes, submarine warfare deporta-
tions forced labor and the forced en-
listment of inhabitants against their
own country and in violation of neu-
trality.
"Fully conscious of the gravity of
this moment, but equally conscious of
its requirements, the allied govern
ments, closely united to one another
and, in perfect sympathy with their
people, refuse to consider the propos-
al which Is empty and insincere. The
allies again declare that no peace is
possible so long as they have not Sc
A cured reparation for violated rights

istence of small states; so long a;
they have not brought about settle
ment calculated to end once and fol
all the forces which have constituted
a perpetual menace to nations anc
to afford the only effective guaran
tee for the future security of the
world"
The note in conclusion, concretel!
outlines Belgium's aim in the war
which is described as the re-establish
ment Of peace and justice, but the!
