SAYS GERMANY HAS HOLD 0N

TRepublican A. P. Leased Wirei
 NEW YORK, March 10.-Brigadier General Joseph E. Kuhn, president of the Army War College, who until re- cently was the American military at tache at Berlin, declared in an address here tonight at the annual dinner of the alumni of West Point, that "the German people are on the edge of star vation," and Germany is prepared to entertain terms of peace and to go a long way to get them.
 How long will the war last? eX- claimed General Kuhn.
 This question is frequently asked. I answer. I do not know. It would seem as if the strain must soon tell and that some one of the principal nations woud break.
 From a purely military standpoint there is no ground for believing that a decision can be reached in the immedi- ate future. But other forces are at work and these may decide the issue. Economic conditions are trying every where. especially in the case fmiddle : powers.
 ! Tt is certain that the German people are on the edge of starvation and the 1 bravest man will succumb to an empty stomach. I believe Germany is pre- pared to entertain terms of peace. and to go a long way to get theH Hei case is that of the man who has caugn' a wildcat by the tail lie needs no heip to hold on. but would like some helr to let go.
 And what does the world war mean TO the United States? One thing IS 1 certain and that is. if We manage tt ! keep out we wi llhave all the money in the world and Europe will have the guns.
 The period of readjustment is one fraught with grave responsibilities II which we may become involved 0nl! too early. That we are not entirely without apprehension on this point Il evidenced by the move for prepare dnass which one hears so much O these days.

 In short the move for preparedness is bearing some fruit but alas, In one direction only. It is only directed to- ward mobilization of our material re- sources. l have scanned the horizon in vain to find any association of the man With the musket, who is pre- pared to grovel in the mre and mud, to dodge grenades and shells, to shiv CT and suffer in the cold and wet.
 Unless this great nation of free men wakes up and safeguards its priceless heritage of liberty and free institutions, ii sooner or later will pay the penalty of it's self assurance, which still confides in the million men who will spring from the earth be- tween sunrise and sunset.
