New York. April 5.-No fear of what
may wait beyond the grave troubles the
sleep OF Arthur Warren Waite or inter-
rupts his repose by day.
This young man who scrupulously
avoided ordinary frailties, who disdained
to smoke or drink, or use strong lam
guage, whose only vice was murder, Is
quite positive that he can settle in the
electric chair all debts to God or man.
He talked for half an hour to news
paper reporters this afternoon as he
lay, propped up by pillows. in his room
in Bellevue Hospital, developing with
smiles and some Righteousness his amaz-
ing philosophy. The substance of it all
was his belief that any crime, no mat
ter how shocking, may be expiated on
earth and that a criminal may take the
road to the hereafter unconcerned about
any further retribution to be made
there.
- His own repeated statements that he
Is quite sane were hardly needed to es-
tablish that fact in the minds Of the
persons, who questioned him today.
Throughout the interview he was utterly
composed as II he had been talking about
his victories at tennis, or as If he had
been describing his travels in South
Africa.

That Germany has made peace overtures

said the chancellor.
Let US suppose that suggest TO Pre-
mier Asquith. Of England, that we sit
down at a table and examine the posi-
bilities OF peace and Mr.. Asquith should
begin with the demand that Prussia's
military power shall first be crushed
The conversation would be ended before
it began. To that demand there is only
one answer left and that is the answer
of the sword. II our adversaries want

ings. want TO continue the devastation

celIor.
The chancellor added that Germany
has never contemplated the acquisition
Of territory in any Of the Americas.
Last spring" he said. "a campaign
OF calumnity was directed against US in
which it was said that. after this war,
we intended to rush against the Amer
lean continent; that we would first at
tempt to conquer Canada. This was the
sllliest Of all the inventions directed
against US. Equally silly was the report
that we coveted the acquisition Of any
American territory in Brazil or any other
country in the Americas.
We are fighting for our existence and

1,4OO Aviators
Lost By Kaiser
Report from Rome Also Gives
1868 Aeroplanes and AZ
Zeppehns Destroyed.

Special csble to he washfnston Herald.
Paris, April tdslayed).--A report from
Rome containing information as to Ger
man air losses bears evidence Of &C
curacy. according to E. Percy Noel, the
American aviation expert. He says
though. that It is evident in making the
compilation the common error has been
made OF calling all kinds Of dirlgibles
"Zeppelins."
Germany has lost numerous small non
rigid dIrIgfhles, which added to the
Zeppelin dirigibles lost would make a
total Of forty-seven.
These figures. like those showing that
SSs aeropIanes and LOO aviators had been
lost by Germany were probably correct,
he says, at the end of 1915, but the num-
Der undoubtedly has been Increased since
then.

One of the passengers mistook the ap-
