Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1916-12-15


ST LOUIS, Dec. 1.-THE right of
a neutral which has suffered from
the effects of the European war, par
ticularly the right of the United
States TO initiate a movement for
peace, was asserted here last night
before the League to Enforce Peace
by Senator Stone. chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee.
Since the war has, almost from the
beginning, resulted in continuing Of
fense attacks on the rights and digni-
ties of this sovereignty and INJECTING
incalculable injury to our national
interests, all of which we have
borne with patience because of our
friendship for the nations involved"
said Senator Stone, "it seems to mc
that after enduring these attacks and
suffering these losses for nearly two
and half years, with no end yet in
sight, that we have a right, without
regard to any question of sympathy
or humanity, but solely on our own

GERMANY IN FAVOR of UNIVERSAL
DISARMAMENT AS PART Of THE
PLAN FOR A PERMANENT PEACE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The Ger
man embassy last night authorized
the statement that ii was certain,
should representatives of the bellig-
erents meet to discuss peace terms,
that one of the most important sub
jects for discussion would be that of
universal or limited disarmament.
The German view is said to be
that any peace would be worthless
which did not make unnecessary
armament on scale approaching
that which existed before the war
II was suggested that actual forma
tion. as has been proposed in some
league OF nations to enforce peace.
necessarily would have the effect to
bring about limited armament.
The German chancellor has said
Germany would be glad to enter a
league to prevent war The German
view further is indicated as being
generally opposed to international
coalitions, as such have existed in
the past, on the ground that such
coalitions are antagonistic To the
maintenance OF peace, rather than
conducive to it.
Press dispatches from London con
tanning the dread intimation that the

account and to safeguard our own
interests, to approach the combatants
as a mutual friend and open negotia-
tions with a view to the re-establish-
ment OF normal international condi-
tions
Our relations to the combat are
such, and our interests are so in
volyed, that ! think we have a right
to speak, right as clear as to
entitle us to speak Without asking
and without just offense We would
not speak impertinently as inter.
meddlers, but as a friend who suf-
fered grievously and innocently from
the ruthless acts of war"
The senator declared he wished it
distinctly understood that he spoke
on his own personal responsibility,
but said he later might speak 'in
another forum" on whether any neu-
tral or group of neutrals should "at-
tempt any affirmative action to end
the present war" He said he would
not discuss the wisdom or unwisdom

entente allies might insist upon Bel
GUM being indemnified, as well as
restored. aroused keen interest in
Teutonic quarters, where it was in
dicated that If such indemnites were
TO be given those localities where
damage has been done by war, Ger
many would have claims for damage
in East Prussia. Poland and other
places.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, plans to visit the state
department today or Saturday to
ascertain, If possible. the views OF
the United States and at the same
time to furnish the state department
with any information in his posses
sion ii might require.

The president attaches much i'm
portance to the possibility of estab-
fishing an association of nations to
maintain peace
With the apparent moderating of
that first attitude, as reflected in
the British newspapers and among
the entente allied diplomats here,
the way seems easier for the presi-
dent to express in some way the
hope Of the U. 8. that the proposal
for a discussion Of peace will not be
rejected without consideration. In
such a step there is a likelihood Of
the U. s. being supported by some
of the European neutrals.
The change In the attitude Of the
entente embassies. however, was re-
garded as the most interesting de-
velopment pointing to the probable
position of the allies. 1t was indi-
Gated that to avoid being placed in
the position of fatty rejecting peace
oyertures, without knowing what is
proposed, it was not improbable that
after mature deliberation among
themselves the allies would make
preliminary inquiries upon which dis
cussion was discussed. Such action

Arrival of both the German and
Austrian peace notes and broad inti-
nations at the entente allied en-
bassies that the proposals of the cen
trail powers would not be fatty re-
jected without examination are the
outstanding developments in the
peace move.
Germany's note, substantially the
same as the published texts, arrived
by cable early yesterday and Aus
trias note arrived near closing.
The government will keep in touch
with the peace situation through the
diplomatic representatives. Cabinet
members believe the United States
should move cautiously SO nothing
will imperil the influence for peace.
