to Emperor William and was with him
when the imperial governments reply
was received.
The Rev. James Dickey. pastor Of tho
American church in Berlin. was also a
passenger on the Frederick VIII. He
said he could see no prospect Of an
early peace in Europe, as all Germany
was standing back of the Kaiser and
all England back OF the King.
Another passenger was A. 2. Conger'
Of Racine, Wis. who is returning az
ter an investigation Of trade conditions
in Russia.
He said Russia had 100000 men
under arms now, about half OF whom
we're actually engaged on the various
fronts. Even with that many ready
for service" he continued. there is
no scarcity Of men on the streets and
women have not had TO take mems
places in the industries"
Mr.. Conger gave the further infor-
nation that the Russian troops recently
landed in France were sent by way or
Vladivostok. where they were equipped
with American made uniforms. Their
exact route from the Russian port as
far az he knew. was still & secret, but
10 was supposed that they came down

Fears Stories Current Here
May Be for Local
Political Effect.
ENTRY OF WILSON
CLIMAX TO DRAMA
American "Conceit" Would Be
Gratified if President Acted
as Mediator.

Vienna, May % (delayed)-The Aus
trian press has given the widest pub
Lefty to various peace stories emanat-
ing from the United States. The peace
stories have We'd with the news from
the Tyrol for the most favorable posi-
ton in the papers. The "Neue Freie
Presse" now devotes a two-column edi-
torial 10 their discussion.
The paper assumes a receptive atti-
tude, apparently fearing that the en-
tire movement, which, 1t says, is now
so obvious in the United States has
been occasoned chiefly by political
considerations. and. II not by these,
has been prompted by "the conceit Of
the people, who would like 70 see
Presiden. Wilson in the role Of peace
initintor, that his name and mis- coun-
try might be connected with the great
eat event in history
This policy" continues the paper.
has led TO struggles OF conscience,
and II is possible to understand the
desire 70 add 70 the advantages gained
through the delivery Of capital and
ammunition the renown OF having
brought 10 an end the most earnest
tragedy in human history. The
thought that the only great power not
drawn into this war might take up the
occupation Of throwing its entire polit-
ical and moral influence toward ending
the bloodshed is certainly worthy Of q
striving people, one OF the mightiest
IN culture among nations and one con-
nected By so many thousand ties OF
memory and relationship with Europe.
"The vision Of President Wilson
stepping in 20 stop the battle. Offering
his good services after the loss OF so
much life, il surely attractive. His
entrance would be a climax such as ID
present IN every we'll constructed
drama"
After expressing the opinion that
the peace paragraph in the German
note regs riding the Sussex gave an
impetus 70 the present activity, the
"Neus Freie Presse' discusses how
greet an effect either concluded
peace or peace in process OF bC@S
concluded would have on the &xt
Presidential election and what would
be the effect on the German vote OF
any pesce efforts which might be mace
BY President Wilson.
