with him and supply of shells for
these pieces
From sources here known to be
friendly to Villa ii was learned that
Villa was anxious to put himself in a
better light with the United States
government and this was said to ac-
count for the fact that no Americans
or other foreigners other than Chinese
and Arabs were killed in Chihuahua
City during the five days Villa was in
control. Villa, his friends say, has
realized that he could never win his
campaign against CarranZa with the
United States opposing him actively
and they say he is willing to give
guarantees to Americans and other
foreigners in the zone of his operations
If he is permitted to continue his cam
paign against the de facto government
unmolested.
These Villa partisans say Howard
Gray was killed at Parral because he
had taken an active part in the poll
tical affairs around Parral and had
even organized a small military force
there.
Reports received here by military
authorities yesterday from western
Chihuahua said Villa was preparing
to advance on Santa Rosalia, Parral
and Jiminez after which he plans to
recapture Chihuahua City and take
Torreon.

These answers are so different from
the wishes Of the German paciiists
that the rejection Of the peace offer
would convince these circles OF that
fact and strengthen the union of all
Germans"
The conservative Krqeuz Zeitung
says:
I'VE do not think it altogether i'm
possible that the entente allies in some
way or another will accept the peace
offer. For 1t Is no. secret that the
statesmen of the entente must also
take into account the weariness with
the war, which may not be equally
manifest everywhere. but which tends
to increase everywhere
The Catholic Germania diiates upon
the excellent condition of the military
situation and expresses satisfaction
that the note OF the central powers
also was brought to the attention OF
the holy See
The Spectator leads its discussion
Of peace with this quotation from
Lincoln
I'VE accepted this war for an OBJ
ject, worthy object and the war will
end when that object is attained.
Under God / hope it never will end
until that time"

the German peace proposals with one
word--reparation. We would tell tho
kaiser and his chancellor that if they

for the devastated cities and fields oc
France, for Serbia. ravaged and over
run, for the massacre Of the Armenian
nation and for the nameless horrors
that have dogged the footsteps Of the
German army in the east and west; OF
reparation for every woman outraged,
for every child bayoneted, every host-
age murdered, every home given TO the
flames, that on the basis of reparation
we can tell them our terms, but on
no other basis. II they will not
promise full reparation for deeds
whose infamy cannot be matched in
the records of mankind, then we would
answer that we have nothing further
to say to them"
NO matter how tempting their
actual terms may be. not one Of the
allies will listen. Silence is the re.
