British Could Put Troops on

Make Peace.
NEUTRAL ENJOYS DIVIDED
OVER ALBERTS ATTITUDE
Allied Countries Intend to Fight On
Until Germany Is Crushed. De-
clare Their Diplomats.

Diplomatic circles in Washington yes
terday centered discussion on the news
that Germany is considering making an
offer of separate peace TO Belgium. In
neutral circles speculation as to whether
King Albert would consent to accept
evacuation of his country and payment
for property damage done as payment
in full for the sufrerings Of his people was
about evenly divided.
Diplomats representing the British gov
ernment condemned the plan orrhsnd and
declared unwsvering confidence in King
Alberts continuing his resolution never
to desert the aIhes.
From the German Embassy came an
expression of opinion In the form Of an
interrogatory:
How can the allies object to the res
toration OF Belgium, inasmuch as il was
over this question that the chief Of the
allied powers went to war;"
Peace made in Germany"
Whatever may prove the attitude OF
King Albert, the attitude Of officials con-
nected with the Belgian Legation wa,
clear-cut. The reported proposal of a
separate peace is regarded In this quarter
as merely another attempt to bring
about an advantageous peace, made in
Germany

occupy her invaded territory and grssps

ferred to the Dutch border TO fight Ger.
many on her own soil
In British circles the proposal wa,
taken as being another -'feeler" on the
part Of a weakening Germany looking
toward a general peace. In most positive
terms the declaration is made that there
will be no peace talk until Germany {,
crushed.

MAY DEMAND DISAVOWAL
United States Probably Will
Send Sharp Note to
Constantinople.
REPORT is FROM AMSTERDAM
State Department Without Con6rma-
tion-Government Has No Proof
that Ship Was Victim of Sub.

Turkey, according to an unofficial re-
port which reached here last night from
Amsterdam, has admitted that Turkish
submarine was responsible for the sink
ing of the Peninsula and Oriental liner
Persia, in the Mediterranean last month.
Although officials of the State Depart
ment and members of the Turkish and
Teutonic embassy STATS were without
any confirmation OF the report, it created
a profound sensation.
Should it prove to be correct, 1t was
stated. the United States government
will undoubtedly send to the Ottoman
government one of the sharpest notes
dispatched from Washington to a foreign
power since the European war began.
In the opinion of many persons, it would
be to all intents and purposes an ultama-
tum, demanding of Turkey, under threat
of an immediate severance of diplomatic
relations. a prompt disavowaL punish
ment of the commander responsible,
reparation and assurances for the fu-
ture.
the heels OF the destruction of the Italian
liner Ancona, aroused widespread indig-
nation in American government circles,
for among the victims of the tragedy
were Robert N. McNeely, a newly ap
pointed United States consul. en- route
for his post at Alden, aud an American n
missionary.
Report Surprising.
The report from Amsterdam is particu-
larly surprising in view of the fact that,
up to the present time. the United States
has been without a shred of evidence to
prove that the Persia was attacked by a
submarine and for that reason the Amer
lean government. though chafing under its
helplessness, had practically resigned
itself to the prospect that the tragedy
would go down into history as one of the
mysteries of the war.
From the afidavits in possession of the
State Department. there was nothing to
show whether the liner was attacked by a
submarine. struck a mine, or blew UP
from an internal explosion-nothing but

Bromley that he had seen the wake of a

1t for the very reason that none on

A very large crowd attended the
q. G. B. J. picnic in the grove on
Vanecek's farm last Sunday and a
fine time was had by all. The ball
game which had taken place be-
tween Tabor aid Springfield was
easily won by Tabor, the score be-

violence during the whole affair,
except the collision of two auto
mobiIes-in which James Killian
bumped the car of Eman Novotny
and both cars were partly dam
aged.
Tuesday evening shortly after
nine o'clockthe seven year old son
of Adolph Rehurek was run over
by an automobile driven by Frank
Cansky, son of Joseph Cansky,
with the result that he received a
horrible scalp wound. According
to eye witnesses, the boy had run
directly in front of the car, was
knocked down and dragged about
fifteen feet. While it was no
fault of the driver that the boy
was run over, he failed to stop,
but kept on going until stopped
by a party who ran after the car.

The Cansky family were in the
