INSIDE STORY OF SAB|N
PEACE INTERVIEW GIVEN
England Learned of Gerany's Pans
and Nullifed Them, Chicago
Paper Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 4-The Daily
News today prints the following:
THE inside story of the situation
which led up to the famous peace in
Charles H. Sabin, president of the
Guaranty Trust Company of New York,
came out today for the first time in
connection with Mr.. Sabin's visit to
Chicago.
"Mr. Sabin had received information
from an unimpeaebable source that a
message was on the way to President
Wilson from the German government
asking him to use his good offices to
bring about an early peace" said the
Daily News informant. Certain neu-
trail diplomats had actually prepared
to start for America as the bearers OF
the German governments proposals.
Mr.. Sabin never intimated in any way
that Ambassador Gerard was the bear
er Of the kaiser's message. The coin
cidence of Mr.. Gerard being on his way
to the United states at the time led
to the deduction. printed in some Of tn
newspapers that Mr.. Gerard was bring
ing the message to which Mr.. Sabin re-
ferred.
England Learned Of Plan.
However. at about the same time TIA,
Mr.. Sabin received this news from G r
many the alert intelligence departing
Of the British government had lear led
the same facts. Great Britain lost no time
in nipping the German peace movement IT
the bud It will be remembered that
Lloyd-George Immediately care out wi
an emphatic statement in an interview
saying that Great Britain would resent
any attempt on the part Of any neutral
government to institute q peace movement
at that time. A few days later Premier
AsQuith made a statement in the usc
of commons that this war cannot be al
lowed to end in some patched-up pre-.
carious and dishonorfng compromise ma g.
querading under the name of peace
These emphatic statements caused
the German government to abandon its
efforts at arriving at peace through
| the good offices of the United States
The Lloyd-George and Asquith state
ments were SO evidently intended tC
i head off the movement which was be
ing initiated that IT seemed useless tc

| that Mr.. Sabin was placed in the unfor.
tunate position of having given out q
| warning on a most important subject

Even then, Bobby says Johnson had
that queer 1nack Of catching punches
