Berlin Peace Move Cleared Way
For U-Boat War, Says Harden
German Publicist in Daring Attack on Government, De
tends IT, S. Warns People and Calls for Demo
cratic House Cleaning in Nation

an ideal TO reject n continuance OF its
profitable neutrality. to load itself with
a burden Of expenditures which no
other country could safely bear. Those
who would profit, Harden tells his read
ers. can be sought nearer home, in the
ranks of those wanting to retain Bel
GUM. the Briey iron district, Courland
and Livonia.
Condemns Peace Overtures
Herr Harden condemns the limita-
tions of the peace offer of the Central
Powers. whose purpose was, he says
to pave the way for a declaration OF
submarine war and the rejection OF
President Wilson's offer of mediation,
and the German official efforts TO de-
ceive and mislead the President regard
ing the coming submarine campaign.
A rupture of relations was inevita-
BILE from President Wilson's notes the
moment this was proclaimed, but Herr
Harden believes that it might have
been limited TO this and armed neu-
trality if it had not been for the over
lures looking to an alliance with Mex
ico and Japan. upon which he lavishes
ell the language of ridicule and con-
tempt. He laments that this did not
lead to the fall of the Imperial Chan
cellor. DR.. Won Betnmann-HolIweg, and
tho Foreign Secretary, DR.. thinner
mann which Presiden. Wilson may
perhaps have expected when the publ
cation occurred.
Coming TO the lessons for the Ger
mans. Herr Harden declares that tne
impotence Of the Reichstag is not due
to the weakness of the German con-
stitution or franchise, but to the de-
liberate choice of members, who refuse
IN use their control credits to force
accountability. and who are therefore
co-responsible for any guilt IN the
origin of the war and any misfortures
in its endings.
Situation Must Be Faced
"Wbat is now needed" he continues
"is not longing whimpers Tor peace
not the crazy peace missions OF ocheio-
emann, Ergberger and otner amateur
diplomats. but a bold attempt to rec
ognize again the plain truths Of the sit.
uation and restore worthy freedom OF
criticism and decision"
put the German house in such or
der that tomorrow 1t Will be napitaDle
end NOT an eyesore to the world. The
United States won't fight German
Empire which is guided by fresh men
and heading for the goal indicated by
President Wilson.
Democracy" concludes Herr Harden,
sis the word of the hour. A league OF
nations is on the way. Shall Germany
freeze without. and in the era of com
ing peace shall militarism remain the
root and branch of German political
life? Responsibility for the coming
peace can be borne not by any prince
or any family, but only by the backs
of the whole nation"

Fire Burns Stables
AT Pimlico Track
Fourteen Valuable Horses Per
ish in Flames

Baltimore. May 1.-On the eve oil
the opening of the spring meet of the
Maryland Jockey Club fire broke out at
the Pimlico race track at 1880 O'Clock
this morning and burned the twin
stables occupied b. Dr. J. S. Tyree''
horses and those of the Sage stables,
Of New York.
Fourteen valuable horses persisted
among them being Don Moran and San
fara, of the Tyree stables.
Bucket brigades worked TO save the
other stables, and a change in the wind
aided the rescuers. Horses from other
stables ran wild over the track and
were corralled with difficulty.
Ineendiarism is suspected. II was
announced that the meet will begin this
afternoon.

Copenhagen. April 30. Macmillan
Harden, the German "enfant terrible,
publishes in the latest issue OF Die
Zukunft" another daringly frank arti-
Gle exposing to German readers the
"shams, pretences and mistakes OF
their governments policy.
The article is devoted to the entry
Of the United States into the war, which
Herr Harden warns the people must be
taken most seriously. both from the
moral side, as a symptom Of the weak
ness Of Germany's appeal to the neu-
trail world and the failure OF her for
eign policy, and because Of the physical
aspects of the weight which America
will ultimately be able to throw into
the scale.
Herr Harden reviews the steps lead
ing TO the German and American peace
proposals, the proclamation of unre-
stricted submarine war and the Ameri-
can declaration of a state of war, and
declares, with daring to which prob
ably no other German puDlicist is
equal. that Germany's peace overtures
were put forward only as a bridge over
which Germany could pass to relentless
submarine warfare.
Consistent with his earlier attitude,
Herr Harden has only words of high
praise for President Wilson and his
policy. and reveals in various passages
a sighting opinion of Foreign Minister
Alfred zimmerman, which he did not
conceal at the time Of Zimmerman S
elevation TO ministerial rank.
= Calls for Democracy
Another article by Herr Harden cul-
inmates in an appeal to Germany to
put the interior of her house in order
and introduce democratic conditions,
which the writer says Is the only sure
basis for future peace.
Scarcely less noteworthy than his
scathing criticism of German diplomacy
but not that of Count Won Bernstorff,
former Ambassador TO the United
States, whose work he praises is Herr
Harden's justification TO German read
ers Of Americas attitude during the
war and his demolition Of the favorite
Pan German arguments that the United
States was inspired solely by dollar
chasing and looked upon war only as a
source for enormous profits from NUM-
ton supplies.
The United States, Herr Harden de-
clares, could have continued to amass
unmessured riches. not from munition
contracts, from which only a minute
part of its income was derived, but as
q worlds source Of supply. Instead,
he adds, the United States chose for

Soldiers and Workmon's Delegates to-

sity Of providing new formations for

needed. provided authority is first given
by the Council
A new general alliance Of military
and naval officers has been constituted
in Petrograd, with the aim Of assisting
the higher command in organizing the
army on new bases for the object Of
attaining victory.
Il is evident from foreign kilograms
mat the attitude Of the Russian democ-
racy toward peace has been miscOn-
strued and distorted by the foreign
press. The desire for peace has be-
come more widespread and articulate
since the revolution. but Il is based on
entirely different conceptions from
those entertained during the old re
CINE.
Idea of Separate Peace Gone
These new conceptions have nothing
20 do with a premature peace with Ger
many. The idea OF separate peace
died here with the old regime. There

advanced Socialistic factions. These
are eager for peace and favor con-
ference of the workkingmen OF the
other countries al war, but until such
an event be possible unanimously de-
clare their patriotic desire to continue
the war. Speaking on this subject
Premier Lvof said:
There has been up 10 the present no
mention anywhere in Russia of the pos
sibility Of concluding a separate peace
between free Russia and the powers or
Teuton militarism. Among our Social
ist party leaders no one has ever gone
so far as 10 suppose that any agree
ment is advisable in this direction:
