DEMANDS FOR PEACE.

No Sacrifice of Territory or Payment
. of. War Indemnity.
London. April Pa dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph from Am
sterdanl says:
"The Berlin yorwaerts yesterday
publishes an article urging the Ger"
man government to declare before
the whole world that peace must he
reached without the sacrifice of terri
tory by any belligerent or the pay
ment of any war indemnity. The
Vorwaerts adds that Germany must
Immediately bind herself to this pro-
gram. All agreement with the en-
emy. it continues. will not be reach
ed Immediately, but the negotiations
would be bound to bring about an
agreement later. The Vorwaerts
concludes by saying it believes the
entente governments will soon show
an increasing desire for peace"
Another dispatch from Amsterdam
says:
at is announced that the German
foreign office invited all neutral jour
naIists now in Berlin to a secert con-
ference to hear statement of Ger
many's war aims by Alfred Zimmer-
mann, the foreign minister ahd HDr.
William Won Stumm, uhdersecretary
for foreign affairs. The German press
protests that neutrals have been thus
favored, while the German news
papers are hardly allowed to express
an opinion on the subject
Amsterdam, April 25.-Tn an OBJ
scure corner of its Issue of Monday
the General Anzeiger. of Dusseldorf,
publishes Berlin press dispatch that
at a reception to foreign journalists
in Berlin "the most reassuring decia-
rations" were given out concerning
the democratic character Of the new
oreintation as evidenced by the pro-
posed legislation. In fact, it was
said, democracy is on the march"
Nothing was said about Germany's
war aims except the general state
ment that ''the world will be astonish-
ed by the moderation Of the German
peace terms"
So far as can be learned, this in
formation appears in no other Ger
man newspaper.

told of Americas entrance into. the
war
"France and America" he said,
"will fight side by side once more.
He also expressed the opinion that
America would send an army to
France and that they would see some
active fighting in the trenches.
He expects to discuss with Amer
lean officials the necessity of quick
action. He says the Germans right
now are being hit the hardest blow
of the war. The campaign, however,
has been a severe strain on the
French armies, and new men are
being sent into the fighting by the
thousands every day. The casualties
on the French side have been moth
ing compared with those of the Ger
mans, but the strain has been so great
that men uninjured so far as wounds
are concerned have been made unfit
for military duty by continuous
marching and little rest.
Fresh American troops arriving in
France just now would greatly re-
lieve the situation, men in the French. !,
Commission declare. The Germans
have brought in about all their sold
iers and have few fresh troops to /.
call. If they are made to do fighting
without alet-up for some time the
strain on them will become even
more severe and victory would result.

French soldiers are fighting in
the trenches with American flags
pinned to their breasts. And French
mothers and children are praying for
America and their own land.
"There is no question about how
the war will end. But when it will
end is another question"
This was the statement by Gen.
Joseph Joffre, retired commander-in-
chief of the French armies, who ar
rived at Hampton Roads yesterday
with other noted Frenchmen, on the
war committee.
The French steamer bringing the
party received hearty but silent
welcome from American warships
when it arrived. All the American
vessels ran up the French flag be-
side the Stars and Stripes.
The voyage from France was an
uneventful one, the party being fav-
ored with good weather most of the
way.
Gen. Joffre remained on board the
steamer until late in the afternoon,
when he was transferred to the Presi-
dents yacht Mayflower. The party
reached Washington at 1l:45 a. m.
Gen. Joffre made his statement in
reply to notes sent aboard his ship
