Hope of Victorious Peace
Said To Be Given Up
by Teuton People
Playing for Stalemate
Berlin Wants Russia to Re
main a Belligerent, but with
Army Impotent
BY ARTHUR 6. DRAPER



London, May 16.-Germany wants
Russia TO stay in the war, but to re-
main militarily impotent.
Germany has renowned the hope OF
a victorious peace.
Germany is playing for a stalemate.
These views ! gather after hearing
several interpretations Of Won Beth
mann-Hollwegs speech. Germany can
not make a separate peace with Russia
without concessions that will antag-
onize the Junkcrs, but with Russia in
the alliance Germany believes she can
bring pressure for general peace.
All the Reichstag parties at the be-
ginning Of the war were committed to
a policy of territorial expansion. Yes
terday the German Chancellor threw
this policy overheard and admitted that
the peace which was anticipated in 1914
was now impossible. Even as late as
last February 23 DR.. Ielferich said
that Germany would not be satisfied
with the result unless she obtained in
IDENTITIES, but that was before the
Russian revolution and American in
tervention.
Serious Internal Troubles
Internal troubles in Germany are not
merely due to food shortage. The
general morale of the people is ex-
tremely bad. They have been fed for
so long on false promises that they have
lost faith in the government and have
grown exceedingly war-weary.
Here is where America will be useful
as the leading actor in the final stages
of the war drama. But everything de-
ponds on the rspidity with which she
prepares for the part. She must have
an army in France this year; she must
relieve the French Of some of their
heavy burden-not next year, but
within a few months. The American
destroyers and American naval officers
here now helping Great Britain patrol

MUNITION MAKERS
VICTIMS OF TINT" :"
Explosive Poisons Many Workers in
Factories of u. S.

The lethal effects of trinitrotuluol
are not faced alone by the man la
the trenches; the munitions maker,
doing his daily stunt in the factories
here in America, faces incapacIty and
even death in making the high ex-

tory explosions but from impercepti-
bic insidious poisoning-
The munitions worker around the

unity to the compound. Not only is
he affected by breathing its dust and
vapors, but he becomes inoculated
even through his pores. The skin abb
serbs the atoms OF the 1t t. in the

In a report to the United States
Public Health Service by ]. W.
schereschewsky, one Of its surgeons,
the need is emphasized for greater
protection for the workers around this
explosive. Ill health Is common and
death not infrequent from the
chronic poisoning caused by ct n t."

urged by John Barrett, director Of the

composed of authorities on the politi-
cal, financial. commercial and eco
nomic conditions Of Latin America.
He presents the practical and press
ing necessity for the appointment OF
the council and its application to the
present world emergency.
These needs are:
Immediate need Of co-ordinating
cooperation between the United
States and these twelve countries to
combat the. vicious German propa-
ganda among them which Is growing
bolder and more desperate every day.
and to initiate similar effort In
the eight neutral countries.
- Fullest cooperation Of the
twelve countries in exporting to the
United States and the allies the
necessary staple food supplies and
raw products required for war manu-
facture: the whole question of build
ing up and conserving the commerce
of the United States with all Latin
America.

ties of war operations. including am
munition, guns, aeroplanes, general
army and navy conditions and use OF

ITALIANS LINE
HOLDS AGAINST
. / HUN ATTACKS
Allied Forces, Still Retain
Mountain Front Along
4 Pave River.

London, Nov. 2O.-In the face On
tremendous pressure the Italians have
held hrm during the last twenty-four
hours on the mountain front between
the Brenta and Piave rivers, where
the TeutonS are trying to break
through to take Diaz's Piaye line in
the rear. y
-Four successive attacks By the army
OF Gen Krobatin which operates on
this sector were beaten on by the
Italians. Berlin was unable to an
nounce any new progress in its day
bulletin.
The situation continues extremely
critical, however. The Teutons now
have massed the bulk of their heavy
guns and a considerable number of
fresh reserves for the final onslaught
on this front. Only one great strate-
gic mountain remains to be taken by
them before they can pour down into
the plain. This is Monte Grappa,
to the east of. Asiage. A height of
minor Importance, Monte Monfenera,
and the summit and southern slopes
Of Monte Tomba are still stubbornly
defended by the Italians. Around
Monte Grappa a battle has been rag
ing now three nights and three days,
and no end is yet in sight.
Italian Line Holds.
with courage beyond all praise, ="
the Rome war ONCE statement puts it.
the Italians drove back the Teuton
storminng columns trying to wrest the
Monte Monfenera from them. In the
Meletta region the Italian counter
Offensive continues. but Rome itself
describes It as a local one. The entire
Venetian campaign now admittedly
depends upon the outcome OF the
Monte Grappo battle. Berlin calls the
fighting there and on Monte Tomba
desperate" The statement asserts
the Italians came on in close masses
and were decimated by the Teuton fire.
Along the Piave the Italians are
holding their own. No fresh attempts
10 cross the river had been undertaken
by the Teutons up to early this even
ing.
To Save Venice.
From Paris came the news today
that Gen. sFayelle, who is TO COM
nand the French forces sent to the
italian front, has started for Venetia.
A Rome dispatch says the General
Powers. in reply to the Pope's plea
to save Venice, have promised to do
20. The fact that Teuton airplanes
that have crossed over the town in
the last few days refrained from
droppingf bombs is taken to bear this
out.
