alone proof positive that Germany is
rot considering a move for peace by
way of the White House.
Ambassador Gerard had talks with
the Chancellor and Won Jagow before
he left Berlin, but they were merely
conversations in which the leaders OF
the fOreiSn office reaffirmed their
willingness to talk about peace IN the
customary unspecific manner, and
offered no basis for a peace move by
the president. Indeed, great as Is the
desire for peace in Germany the
leaders of the foreign office do not
look with favor upon mediation by
the president of the United states
At the present moment Germans from

Wilson is the hand of England ana

Indeed at the present moment Ger

States. That is the true reason for
the return of Mr. Gerard. The ann
hassador's object is to discuss with
the president the specific steps when
may be taken by the United States
to keep Germany from beginning
again to sink merchant ships with
out warning. In addition, his wish is
/ to acduaint the president with the de-
/ tails of the inner political struggle
] between the supporters of Won Ilr-
pitt and the supporters of the
chancellor. a struggle whose outcome
will determine whether the United
/ States is to be drawn into the war.
/ The fact that Mr. Gerard has seen
! fit to leave his post indicates, to be
sure. a belief on the part of the am
| bassador that there is danger of an
! immediate resumption Of sinking

I leading newspaper OF CoPSnhagtn'
was well informed when it wrote,

1.-THE prediction that sinking without
warning win be recommended with
the next six months. The supporters
of the chancellor, who is opposed 10
sinking without warning, remark
''There is an even chance that Won
Tirpitz will win before spring. me
chancellor basC3 his opposition to the
resumption Of sinking without warn
ing on the assertion: No damage that
the submarines can do England Will
compensate us for the entrance INTO
THE war of the United States Holland,
Denmark and Norway
Feel Sure They Could Starvc England.
The Tirpitz argument runs: The
iT-niId States could harm us no more
las beligcrent than she is harlnlllE
us today as a neutral. We couId
starve England in three months if the
submarines were allowed to SINK
without warning. The United States
is as much an ally Of England as any
British colony. President wilson
sends notes to us which are virtually
Iultimatums every time we break IN
ternational law. he never follows up
his protests against England lhlia'-
