Frederick Palmer, war correspond
ent, who has seen more war than any
other American, was in ST. Louis this
week and spoke at Mary Institute on
subjects related to American pa
triotism and preparedness, In an in
terview with the Post-Dispatch, Mr.
Palmer said:
"Let's not talk about the biggest
navy in the world. 1t would take us
at least Is years to build a navy as
big as England's. Let's organize a
good little navy, with its parts COM
plete and co-ordinating. Let's not
threaten people.
"The navy is the thing of first i'm
portance. Guns are the things Of next
importance. We must have artillery
and rifle for every possible soldier
and those things take longer to get
ready than an army does.

fall back on universal service plan
But universal service cannot be had
at this time. My idea is to organize
the best army available.
"If the whole army could be under.
national control, it would be much
better. But if the political influences
behind the state militia system will
not permit this, then let's do the bes
we can with the state militias. Lett

and standardize them just as far al
we can. Then they will at least form
a second line of military defense, anC

hire this number of regular soldiers

For the complete restoration OF

For the establishment Of Poland

For the retention Of CONSTANT

Berlin.-(Via Sayville Wireless.)-
Germany and her allies have proposed
to enter forthwith into peace negotia
tons.
The propositions they bring forward
are, according to Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, appropriate for the es
tablishment of a lasting peace.
The Austrian, Turkish and Bulgar
ian governments are making slmllal
proposals. These proposals have beer
transmitted to the Vatican.

to the German embassy state that Ger
many's peace terms, in general meas
ure, propose the restoration OF tn
status quo before the war with the ex
ception of the establishment OF inde
pendent kingdoms of Poland and Lith
uania. They are understood to pre-
pose the complete restoration of Be
GUM and France in return for Gel
many's captured colonies, and to dis
pose of the Balkan situation, becaus
of it's extremely complicated nature
in the peace conference.
It was indicated that while the Gel
man allies might not entirely expeo
that the proposals would cause peac
conference, they were hopeful at leas
that they would be the means of ge
ting the belligerents together in som
manner to discuss the situation, an
this, it was expected, would lead
peace.
Another object, it is explained b
German diplomats, is to learn whethe
the entente allies are willing to max
peace or whether it is their intentio
to crush Germany and dismember he
Germany, they say, is convinced OF til

to continue the war for ten years

her own ability to do so.

London, March s.--Reports were re.

for a dash against the British fleet in

Rumors that sea fight impends are

20 German dreadnoughts have sailed from
Kiel.
Dispatches from Amsterdam, Rotter-

the report that German warships have
tempted the seas.
Swedish dispatches report Russian tor

Sweden, while half dozen German sub
marines have been sighted off Oxelosund,
