GERMANY TO MAKE
NO FURTHER STEPS
IN BEHALF OF PEACE

Berlin, Jan. 16.--Dr. Alfred thinner
mann, the German foreign minister, In
formed the Associated Press yesterday
that in his opinion, the entente reply
to President Wilson's peace note bars
the possibility for the present of fur
Their German steps TO bring about
peace. In particular. he said, 1t pre-
cluded any direct announcement by
Germany of her peace conditions, in
answer to the terms set forth in the
latest entente note.
DIR. Zimmerman asserted, however.
that the answer of the entente to the
president did not finally and completely
close the door to later efforts for
peace, before one side or the other was
completely crushed.
CANNOT GIVE TERMS.
The foreign minister. in the course
OF a conversation with the Associated
Press correspondent Sunday night de-
clared. although with obvious reluct-
ance, 1t was impossible for him to give
a more definite statement of the peace
program of the central powers than
that indicated in the declarations of DIR.

because the German terms were such
that the unsolicited PRONUNCIATION of
them in their moderate details, after
what he characterized as the aspiring
program of conquest and dismember-
ment outlined by the entente, would be
interpreted by the entente powers as
"a sign of weakness and of a desire for
peace at any cost.

Pacihst Turns Patriot
AS Wife Lauds Kaiser

DR.. Thomas NJ. Hatton is a peace
loving member of society, as all good
Quakers should be. He admitted this
in the Supreme Court yesterday,
where he appeared to oppose motion
By Mrs. Anna Kramer Hatton for ali
mony in their separation suit. But he
added that peace with Mrs. Hatton was
an impossibi!ity because of her pro-
German leanings.
According to Dir. Hatton, his wife had
upheld the cause of the Kaiser so
ardently that it was impossible for an
American TO live with her, even though
he were a Quaker. DR.. Hatton added
that his Americanism had triumphed
over his pacifsm and that he had de-
cided to 60 TO Europe as member
of the United States Medical Corps.
Mrs. Hatton denied that she was
unpatriotic and said that her domestic
troubles had begun long before the
war with Germany. She said that her
husband was earning $4,000 a year,
and urged that the war question should
not deprive her Of proper support.
Justice Ford reserved decision.

Expresses Gratitude of Bel
gian Nation for Relief Given
Since War Began

Washington, June 15.-Cardinsl Mer-
cier, the celebrated prelate Of Belgium,
has sent an autograph letter to Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t was presented to-day
by the Rev. John B. Deville, a priest
who has just arrived in this country,
and follows
"Mr. President: Often since the com
mencement of the war | have had the
desire TO express to the people OF the
United States, of whom you are the
highest presentation, my grateful
sentiments. You have been prodisal
to us of your sympathy, of your help,
of your devotion. At the very moment
when you see yourself compelled, to
break off the diplomatic relations of
your country with Germany, you hive
had still an exquisite thought for pur
poor country; to the fifty delegates OF
the Commission for the Relief of Bel
GUM you have given the advice not TO
abandon us as long as the power of
occupation left them free to provide
for our lamentations.
MAY you be thanked for your mag
nanimity, Mr.. President, and may YOU
accept as well, | pray you, the thanks
Of the entire Belgian nation. Permit
ME TO say that we shall pray TO the
good God and ask Him to bless your
noble country. Please accept, Mr..
President, together with the renewed
expressions of gratitude. the homage
of my very high consideration"
The letter was dated February 9, at
the Archbishopric of Malines.

Finance Committee Also
Agrees to Cut Stamp
Levy on Checks
Profits Plan Adopted
Motion to Exempt Requests
from Assessment Is
Rejected

Washington, June l5.-An income
tax exemption allowance of 5000 for
each dependent child of a taxable par
ent and reduction of the 2-cent stamp
tax on bank checks to cent were de-
cisions reached to-day by the Senate
Finance Committee revising the war
tax bill.
The profits tax plan, estimated to
raise about sl5,O0O,oOO, or about the
same as the advertising tax previously
proposed, was adopted by bare ma
jority of one vote, with several mem
bers absent. There now is pending a
motion By Senator Penrose, who voted
for the levy, TO reconsider the decision
Monday.
The committee also decided by a
majority of one vote to repeal the
drawback" allowance 10 sugar refiners,
raising sl9,OOO,ooO additional revenues.
A new tax of 5 per cent on the net
profits of all newspaper and magazine
publishers was written into the bill in
lieu of the per cent advertising tax
previously agreed upon and OF the sec
ond class mail rate increases proposed
in the House bill.
Other stamp. taxes tentatively APP
proved were formally approved to-day,
with little change from the House pro-
visions.
By a tie vote, motion TO reconsider
the committees action in exempting
all confectionery from taxation was
lost in an effort to place a tax upon
high grade candy.
The committee also rejected a mo-
ton to exempt requests and legaci rs
from income and existing inheritance
taxes.
After voting on the publishers tax
and sugar drawback" both of which
have been strenuously opposed and
under consideration fortnight. the
committee adjourned until Monday,
with the prospect of another week 5
delay in completing the bill. Cues
tions which Senator Simmons said
probably will require several days 20
settle, and virtually the only ones re-
naming, were possible reconsideration
of the publishers tax, the rate 10 be
fixed on excess profits and the income
tax section.
Senators Penrose and Lodge are said
to have agreed not 70 press their mo-
ton to reduce the surtax on incomes
in excess Of $4,000. Senator La Fol-
lette, however, has pending a motion in
the nature of a substitute bill which,
it is said. has the support of Senators
Gore, Thomas and one or two others.
Senator La Toilette proposes to raise
all war taxes by leving upon incomes,
excess profits, intoxicating liquors and
tobacco.
The substitute tax upon publishers
