THE WAY TO PRESERVE PEACE

It has been remarked many times that the fate of relations with Germany largely in the hands of German-American citizens. It argued that by acting medators between the two nations they might enable Germany and America understand each other better and find common ground for the adjustment of their differences.
 The made of that opportunity far seems to have been very onesided German-American leaders general to have contented themselves with plead ing Germanys before the American public. neglect ing to explain the American viewpoint to the German public
 The New York World points out that German citizens have chance to perform such vice to their country they will avail themselves of it. The suggestion called forth by action the New Yorker Herod, which soliciting signatures for the fol lowing petition to be presented members of congress:
 'The undersigned American citizen not of Ger descent, is of the opinion that submarine should not lead to with German. You therefore respectfully requested to do utmost to prevent action by which would result in America being drawn into the European catastrophe"
 As the World remarks, "our German friends talk ing their to the wrong cour Congress is just desrous the promoters of this petition that the sub marine issue should lead to with Germany" But does not control the matter Congress has authority the German submarine campaign. The only action that congress take in the matter is perform its constitutional function of declaring such amenable step is made inevitable by German az gression.
 Congress cannot prevent Germany
 Let our German friends" says the World "send their petition to congress but to the German ambas sador in Washington Let them Count Bernstorf that if results from Germanys violations of faith, every American of German blood and German birth will be answering in his allegiance to the United States. Once the Imperial is made understand that it need expect aid and comfort from GermanAmeri cans, that these German Americans will stand shoulder shoulder with all other Americans in defense of Amer rights and honor, there will be little danger of war
 If German-Americans will perform this service, they will win the deep gratitude of their fellowctzens and will incidentally do Germany herself true kindness.

CONFERENCE TO BE
 HELD IN JUAREz
tContinued From Page one.l

(Continued From Page One.) tonic until 6:30 o'clock tomorrow evening.
 On account of the late arrival of Generals Scott and Funston, it is thought likely that the conference will not be begun until Saturday and that possibly only the preliminaries vii, be settled then. The real vorl; of the Gonferees may not be reached ooior Sunday.
 The meeting place cannot be set lied until the arrival of the partfcip- ants. Mexican officials thought today, however. that is probably would De held in the customs house in Juarez. They pointed out that General Obre- gon, being of superior rank and min ister of war of the Carranza govern ment, entitled him to the privilege of meeting on Mexican soil.
 The custom house is in a large brick building standing in block of it's own only a short distance from the international bridge where Gener- al Scott held his famous conference with Villa, who then had not relapsed into his bandit ways. Its rooms are spacious and cool and comfortably furnished in the Spanish style. At Historic Custom House.
 Soldiers now keep guard at the entrance, in the center of which stands machine gun, backed up by a chest of cartridges.
 All the meetings will be secret. IL is believed here that the number of persons present will be very limited. General Obregon is accompanied by Trevino, Carranza commander at Torreon and it is probable that Gen. eral Gavira also will attend. There will be no special need for swelling the American representation with in terpreters as General Funston speaks Spanish fiuently. There are plenty of additional interpreters among army men if they are needed
 Outside the conference both sides will maintain privacy. Generals Scott and Funston are coming from San Antonio in private car and will live in it while here. General Obregon is expected to remain in his private car in Juarez as there are no proper hotel acComodatons for him there.
