FIRST REAL STEP
T0ST0P WORLD WAR.
The Permanent Committee
Meets at Berne.
TWO WEEKS TRUCE SOUGHT
PaeIhsts Believe II They Can Bring
This About, Fighting Will Not
Be Resumed - Leaders
Are Encouraged.

Berne, Switzerland. The nrst
definite move to end the world war
was made here when the permanent
committee to established lasting peace
met to formulate proposals for an
armistice.
Peace advocates from several neu-
tral countries were in Berne for the
meeting.
The committee hopes to obtain the
consent Of the belligerents to an
armistice of at least two weeks before
the spring campaigns bring fresh
slaughter in Europe. They believe If
the guns can be silenced for two weeks
the fighting will never be renewed.
Several peace leaders said they
were encouraged by the German Chan
cellor's recent Reichstag speech to be-
lieve that Germany will give beney-
olent consideration to any plans for an
armistice. If they fail in their plans
for a truce, they hope at least to sug-
gcst a program to the belligerents de-
signed to eliminate some OF the more
horrible features OF the war. One sug-
gestion is that the belligerents pledge
themselves to conduct no more air
raids upon cities behind the battle
front.
Prince Won Beulow, former German
Chancellor; Prince Hohenlohe and
Baron Won Kraft have arrived at Lu-
cerne. It was reported they are in
touch with the peace movement here.

MAIL SERVICE

Observation-Disclosures
olan Is To Create More Interest In
Aviation In Connection With Pre-.
paredness--Six Weeks For
Trip Now.

Washington.-Aerial mail service to
isolated points in Alaska and Massa-

Office Department.
Bids we're asked for service on eight
routes, seven of them in Alaska Oc-
tober is named as the date for their
starting.
The routes will be established, the
department announced, as much to
stimulate development Of aviation, be-
cause of its relation to military pre-
paredness, as to improve the mail sery-
ice. The department believes that eff
forts already begun to finance an
aerial patrol Of the Atlantic Coast indi-
cate ready capital will be found for
the mail service undertakings.
II the service is successful gradual
expansion will follow to other routes
where transportation is slow and in
adequate.

New Bedford to Nantucket, Sc miles

by water. Trips would be made 10
times a week curing the summer
months and six times in the winter.
An aeroplane would have to be able to
carry a weight limit of 5000 pounds.
The present cost Of the service is $685.
600 year
The Alaskan routes form a connect
ing link from Seward to Nome, thence
to Fairbanks and back to Valdez Most
of them call for service twice a week
throughout the year
On some Of the routes the cost now
is as high as 100000 a year and in
winter Sax weeks is required to make
the trip. The aeroplane contracts
allow two days for most of the trips.
The longest route, Valdez to Fair
banks. is S5S miles. The extreme time
limit Of six weeks on some of the
routes is required because mail some
times has to be routed via Seattle.

TEUTONS WARN
FOREIGN SHIPPING
Will Treat Armed Merchant
Vessels as Warships.
A TIME LIMIT 70 MARCH I
German Government Gives ou. Liet

sells That Fired Upon
Submarines.

Washington.-Gernany and Austria
have formally notified the United
States that, beginning March /, COM
manders of their submarines will con.
slider armed merchant ships of the
Entente Allies to be varships and will
treat them accordingly.
Under such instructions command
ers would be at liberty to sink with
out warning any armed vessel,
whether passenger OF freight carrying.
The notifications were presented
orally to Secretary Lansing by Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor, and Baron Erich Zweidlnsk,
charge Of the Austro-Hungarian EN-
bassy here. Mites from their govern
ments are to follow.
The intention of the Teutonic Allies
is considered in official and diplomatic
circles here to be q development Of
the memorandum proposing the dis.
armlng Of merchant ships, which Sec.
retary Lansing recently sent to the
Entente Powers. High officials of the
State Department seemed disposed to
consider the dey elopment broad
enough to warrant The claim that the
fundamental questions involved in the
conduct Of submarine warfare have
been settled in accordance with the
contentious of the United States. This
is based on the belief that with Ger.
many and Austria giving notice that
they will sink without warning all
armed ships, the two governments can.
not legally claim the right to sink un-
armed vessels. That is the principle
for which the United States has so
vigorously contended since the begin.
ming of the negotiations over the con.
duct of submarine warfare.
At Their Own Risk.
In view Of this situation American
citizens, il is stated by high author
ity, now may be warned that they
will take passage aboard armed mer.
chant ships at their own risk and be
entitled to no more protection from
the United States than II they had
embarked upon belligerent warship.
officials seemed not to be able to con-
ce,ve that any issue could arise in the
future from a submarine warfare con.
Quoted under these rules.
1t was said in Teutonic diplomatic
circles that the effective date of the
instructions was postponed solely for
the reason that the Central Powers
desired to give enemy merchant ships
an opportunity to disarm and so that
the Entente Allies might have the
chance to make their views conform
to the suggestions put forward by the
United States in its memorandum.
