WAsHINGroN. May 21--"Germany
must tight on TO the end and cannot es-
cape retribution by useless appeals TO
neutrals for peace"
This Is the answer OF the Entente Al
lies to the steadily increasing peace talk
which has reached official circles here
from Berlin. The Allies position, 1t is
explained. has been made perfectly clear
to President Wilson, and this is the
prime reason why the Presidents efforts
to act as mediator in the war have been
confined to more or less academic utter
ances on the general subject of peace in
stead of taking the form OF definite
proposal to discuss the ending of the
war.
Both the President and Secretary
Lansing have been informed confiden-
TALLY from sources close to the Entente
capitals that peace proposals now are
out OF the question. The time is not
ripe. II is explained, and the time will
not be ripe until t;ermany's military
dominance has been completely broken.
Peace Talk Discouraged.
Realizing that this position assumed by
bli' <tillts might ttilu TO IN
nuenCe public opinion in neutral coun-
tries. the chanceleries In London. Paris
and Petrograd have discouraged all talk
OF peace proposals. The attitude of the
Entente, however has been explained to
the world by Rene Niviani OF the French
Cabinet. who with the full sanction OF
all the Entente Governments made a
statement in Petrograd on Friday in
which he said that the Allies stand solid
for fight to n finish" that they intend
Il break Germanys heavy sword and
that they are steadily forging Germany's
Chastisement.
Diplomatic circles here fully realize
the impor;anc, To b. attached to this
official utterance made through the
French Embassy in Petrograd. II IL in
fact the first statement from an authori-
tat!ve source setting forth the Entente $
reply to Germany's proposal TO bring

Monday will be known as "Twen-
tieth Centuy' Club Day" at The Wash
ington Zines cooking school and pure

Mrs. Edward Il. Clark, president of
the club, placed the invitation of The
Times to have the members of the club

1.-THE idea of an exposition of pure
foods was strongly Endorsed by the

believes a demonstration such as The
Times plans Is an effective way to ad-
vance the movement"

Officer Harper
RecOuers From
Short Relapse

Reports were circulated yesterday
that Police Officer Harper who was
shot several days ago, had suffered
a serious change, but report from
the Pensacola hospital at midnight
announced that he was doing nicely,
and that his condition had improved
considerably since Sunday.
Friends, and especially men in the
city hall and at the police station,
manifested great deal of interest in
the reports and many telephone mes
sages were answered at the hospital,
friends inquiring about the officers
condition.
The change in the officers condi-
ton was said to have been noted late
Sunday night, and Monday morning,
it became known that the usual pro-
gress in dis condition had been in
terrupted by complications. Friends
were pleased to know last night, how
ever, that not only was his condition
satisfactory, but that he was pro-
crossing nicely.
