PEACE NOT YET POSSIBLE

President Poincare, of France, in an
many's declaration regarding her willing
ness to negotiate for peace, included in
her reply to the American note. He said
"France will not expose her sons to
the dangers of new aggressions. The
central empires, haunted by remorse for
having brought on the war; and terrified
by the Indignation and hatred they have
stirred up in mankind, are trying today
to make the world believe that the en-
tente allies alone are responsible for the
prolongation Of hostilities-a dull irony
which will deceive no one.
"Neither directly nor indirectly have
our enemies offered us peace. But we do
not want them to offer it to us; we want
them to ask it Of us. We do not want to
submit to their conditions we want to
impose ours on them We do not want a
peace which would leave imperial Ger
many with the power to recommence the
war and keep Europe eternally menaced.
$50 long as that peace is not assured to
us, so long as our enemies will not recog-
nize themselves as vanquished, we will
not cease to fight"
Berlin reports, coming by way of Lon
don state that there is a widespread
feeling in Germany that the preservation
of peace with America in the recent
crisis, is harbinger Of coming world
peace Just how much truth there may
be in these reports, is not known, but the
statement is made further that a general
conviction prevails that it will not be
necessary for the Teutonic armies to un-
dergo third winter campaign
Germany considers tbs at the one
stumbling block in the path Of peace, how
ever, is England, and that she will not

NEW YORK CITY HAS GREAT PRE-
PAREDNESS PARADE

A preparedness parade took place in
New York City on Saturday, May 13, in
which it is estimated that from 1875, 900
to 100000 men and women took part All
participating, were civilians, except 10,-
900 members Of the New York National
Guard Many notables, including Thomas
A. Edison, Hudson Maxim, and Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt, were among those in
line
1t is claimed that the great army Of
preparedness, which moved through the
streets of Manhattan, was numerically
superior to the standing army of the

NEUTRAL, STATES WARNED BY GER
MANY TO OBEY INTERNATIONAL
SEA LAW

Germany, in a, note to Secretary Ian
sing, has issued a general warning that
merchant ships, flying neutral flags, must
obey the provisions Of international law
"to the letter., in regard to their con
duct when stopped by German sub
marine; also that they incur danger
should they turn the prows of their ships
in the direction of a submarine.
It is understood that the communlca-
ton. which calls for no reply from the
United States, was also sent to other
neutral maritime nations.

YUAN SHI KAI MAY BE DEPOSED

Notwithstanding the statement of Prof
N. D. Harris, of Chicago, who arrived at
Seattle on May 16 from a tour Of the
Orient, that ''Yuan Shi Kai probably will
weather the storm that has been stirring
the whole Chinese empire" unofficial re-
ports are now published from Washing
ton, D. c., stating that in all probability
the first president Of the Republic of China
will soon be formally deposed More
over, that, while his successor has
not yet been selected, the power Of the
government will be lodged in responsible
ministry, Of which Tong Shao vi
will be the premier It is also stated that
Japan has offered Yuan Shi Kai an
asylum.
1t is charged by prominent Chinese
that Yuan Shi Kai deliberately "sold
out" his country to Japan year ago,
when he appeared to agree to the de-
mands Of that country, under pressure Of
force. 1t is claimed that Chinese states
men are tired Of dictatorship, and that the
President is to be shorn Of power, having
the same relationship to the government
as the ruler of France. The ministry
will be directly responsible to the parlia-
ment, which is to be reorganized.

PRESENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK
BRIGHT

From a financial point Of view, reia-
tions between this country and Germany
are now considered to be Of a more re
assuring character than at any time for
many months.
During the recent crisis, the money
market was slow and hesitating, but
within the past week there has been a
decided upward price movement No one
can predict how permanent is to be the
present peaceable relationship with Ger
many, and Of course, business conditions
will depend largely upon future events.
The American commercial world, however,
has learned from the experiences Of the
past two years that it is poor policy to sit
idly around because Of conditions pre-
vailing in Europe, and that the proper
thing to do is to pay no attention to other
countries, so long as we are not involved
in war, and keep the wheels Of industry
humming.
According to Eugene Hector, financial
editor Of The Chicago Tribune, official
correspondence and unofficial reports in
dicate that Germany is moved by possibly
three motives in maintaining friendly re-
lations. One is the necessity of trade in
tercourse after the war; another, the
moral influence which rupture with this
country would have on other neutral ma
tons; and the third, the great elation
which would be shown by Germany s
enemies if the United States could be
drawn into the cause Of the allies"
In an address to the reischstag, the
other day, DR.. Won Bethmann-Holloweg,
the German imperial chancellor, is report
ed as saying:
II have said before that we must drop
all sentimentality. [ repeat that With
regard to our dispute with America, our
self-respect was wounded by the aggres-
sive wording of the American note to
Germany
"Our feelings urged us to repel this
interference with our legitimate methods
of warfare and tell America to mind her
own business, but considerations of policy
compel us to subordinate patriotic zeal to
patriotic reason. We must be guided not
by our feelings, but by our coolest judg-
ment
eve have one aim and one duty-name-
ly, to- win the war; therefore, any policy
which endangers our victory must be
avoided. The overwhelming majority of
expert opinion regards a rupture Of re
lations with America as grave peril y

GERMANY EARNESTLY DESIRES TO
AVOID, BREAK WITH UNITED
STATES

Following the admission by Germany
submarine, a report has been received
from Carl W. Ackerman, United Press
staff correspondent Of The Chicago Even
ing Post, that deep indignation is felt in
Germany over the U-boat commanders
deception His report, it is stated, was
implicitly believed, until the American
government presented convincing and
conclusive evidence showing that the
channel packet had been torpedoed.
Germany was thus placed in a rather
humiliating position. While no official
statement regarding the matter has been
made, it is believed in well informed
circles in Berlin that the commander has
been severely punished.
Mr. Ackerman also states that Germany,
desiring to avoid a break with America
at any cost, has inaugurated quiet move
ment toward squelching Teutonic plOtters
and propagandists He also states that
If the new orders to submarine com
manders could be published, they would
convince the most skeptical that Ger
many is as much concerned as America
in seeking to avoid accidents in the
future.
He further states that Berlin is chiefly
worried just now over the possibility that
some submarine commander may accident
