United States Keenly
Interested in Speech

The United States is deeply inter-
ested in any case, much more directly
than it was in December.
Strictly, of course. the Imperial
Chancellor cannot address the
United States. Germany and the
United States are not on speaking
terms. But owing to the unique
character of the situation existing
between them, he could directly ad-
dress American public opinion.
That is what a great many Wash
ington persons expect him to do. And
opinion is already prepared to believe
that the motive Of putting forth a
peace suggestion" at this time would
be, as before, TO hsrass American
sentiment and embarrass the Presi-
dent in his dealings with Congress.
There is no positive information
as TO what the German Chancellor
will say tomorrow, but the expecta-
ton of a peace overture is so strong
that the attitude of the Administra-
ton is already beginning TO crys-
tallize.

The Hague via London, March %.
The Associated Press has been informed
from an absolutely authentic source
that the German government will ask
American officials and relief workers

in Belgium to submit TO a period OF
news quarantine e"-the time not TO ex-

The news quarantine would apply
equally TO Brand Whitlock. the Ameri-
can Minister TO Bslgium. and his staff
whom the German government since the
break in diplomatic relations regards
on the same footing as relief workers,
although personally in the case Of Mr..
Whitlock the period of detention. as a

Order Only Act That Can

Washington. March est is ex-
pected by the United States govern
ment and all OF Washington that
when the Imperial German Chancel-
lor appears tomorrow before the
Reichstag ne will launch another
peace drive.
1t is awaited without optimism.
There is an assumption, before they
are heard, that peace suggestions
will be insincere if not treacherous.
That is not because the American
government is for war without par
ley. but because Germany's peace
overtures heretofore have not had
such results or sequels as would
greatly prejudice the worlds senti-
ment in favor of successive ones.
The expectation Of peace drive
tomorrow from Berlin is not reducl-
ole to particulars. The German
Chancellor is likely, it is thought, to
address all of Germany's enemies, as
in December, when. with resump-
ton Of frightful U-boat warfare held
as a weapon concealed behind the
back, Germany proposed general
peace conference. lie may address
himself obliquely to the United
States alone; or he may make it a
double-barrelled effort, aiming in two
directions.

One More Detail
Of Unpreparedness
By Frank II. Simonds

4 LITTLE less than two years ago.
II in the second attack upon lpres'
the Germans for the first time made
use Of poison gas. Since that time
several forms OF gas have been used
and to-day all European soldiers are
equipped with gas masks as one of the
necessities Of their business. Up TO
the present time no gas masks Of any
sort have been provided for IN the
United States Army. The country IS
A. the point Of war. We have been
told many times that Germans are or
ganizing an attack from Mexico. Moth
ing would be simpler or easier than TO
provide Mexican force with gas, and
tne result would be the sacrifice OF
American lives.

Asquith Praises Women
Mr.. Asouith said that the House

ne and other members no longer re-
osrded the question Of woman suffrage
from The standpoint they took before
the war. He made this statement IN
moving the adoption of plan for cleo
toral reform.
Mr. Asouith said his opposition TO
woman suffrage always had been based
solely on considerations OF public eX-
rediencv. The women had now worked
out their own salvation. The war could
not be carried on without them. What
moved him especially. he added, was
the problem Of reconstruction after the

Women in the War
The fact that Tor three years mere

able campaign which had disigured our
public life" said Mr. Asquith. would
make it impossible for any one 10 say
that in changing their position N re-

lad welded to force what they had re-
fused TO yield TO argument.
With the exception OF the actual
bearing Of arms in the field. there was
hardly service which had contributed
10 maintenance of the cause OF the Al
lies in which women had not been as
active and efficient as men, the former
Premier declared. Wherever one
turned might be seen women who, with ?
out detriment to the prerogatives OF
their sex. were performing work which
three years ago would have been re-
carded as falling exclusively within the
province OF men. After the war ques-
tions would arise with regard 10
women's labor functions and activities
in which the women must have voice.
