GERMANS FEAR LOSS
OF TRADE Prestige
New Peace Move May Be Inspired
by Economic Motives.
By NEWTON C. PARKE
q. N. s. StnR Correspondent.O

American Headquarters in France.
Oct. 4-There is an increasing fear
in German business circles that the
entry of the United States into the
war will make 1t extremely difficult
for Germany to regain her economic
prestige after peace is declared, ac-
cording to information reaching here
today.
The action of number OF South
American republics in severing rela-
tlons with the Imperial German gov
ernment, thereby shutting the doors to
German trade. is believed to have in
spired Germany's reported new peace
move. 1t is believed that this new
peace feeler will include an offer to
make geographical concessions. in re-
turn for a promise by the allies that
they will not interfere with Germany's
economic development after the war.
Sensational articles dealing with the
"after-war conditions" in Germany
are appearing quite frequently in the
German press. Several charge that
an economic coalition is being formed
against the German Empire under
England's directions.

WILSON TO SEE
ADMIRAL Mayo;
DANIELS MUM
Secretary Of Navy Refuses
to Discuss Conference
Regarding Fleet.

A report spread in Washington yes
terday that as a result of what Ad-
miral Mayo, just back from England,
told Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
and Admiral Benson, chief of opera
tons, at a conference last night, the
Atlantic battleship fleet was to be
moved to European waters.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels refus-
ed 10 discuss the report. IT have
heard it," he said. II won't have any
thing to say about It"
Mr.. Daniels received from Admiral
Mayo a complete outline of the sit
uation in Europe as it affects ship
ping-the vital problem of the war.
He had pictured for him the con-
nection between Haig's drive to cut
in behind the German Notifications
on the Belgian coast and the naval
aspect of the problem of cleaning out
the German submarine nests on that
coast.
He heard definite news-such infor-
nation as has reached the British
and French admiralties-of the situa-
ton within Germany. both military
and naval in the relation the mill
tary situation has to a possible naval
attempt by the German fleet.
Submarine Situation.
He heard the latest reports on the
submarine situation-what the ratio
o: capture Of German submarines is'
how many have been sunk or are sup
posed to have been sunk; what real
efrect they are having now on mer-
chant trade: now they are limiting
the food-and especially the vital oil
supplies o. the allies. He heard the
Judgment Of the worlds greatest ar
ray of naval experts on what the
United States may expect when II De-
Gins to transport men and guns in
mass to France, what It Is necessary
to do to safeguard to the fullest ex-
tent such transports and what the
European allies want most of the
United States a. this time-nen or
ships.
1t was in the early hours Of yestcr-
day morning that the conference end
cd and Admirals Mayo and Benson
left Mr.. Daniels home together.
On all these thiDgs Mr.. Daniels
maintained the utmost silence yester-
dAy. He spent the day much to him
self considering the information
which had been placed before him and
balancing the judgments Of Admiral
Mayo on what the situation demands.
Mayo to See President.
Today or tomorrow Admiral Mayo
Will see President Wilson. What he
tells the President will be placed be-
fore the Cabinet, probably at its meet
ing tomorrow.
Admiral Mayo and Vice Admiral
Sims thra shed the whole situation out
in London from the American view
point before Admiral Mayo left on his
return trip. What Mr.. Daniels and his
operating chiefs have heard and will
hear is the facts. and the best tudg-
ment OF the men on the scene of what
ought to be done.

true sources of power; and the other.
a constitution based on the despotic
principle that kings hold their now

By FRANK MARTIN.

The Swedish people are not yet fully

State Department to force the pres

German influence. both in Sweden
and Argentina, has been sufficient TO
prevent the American government
from gaining its ends. Argentina has
not broken with Germany, despite
strong sentiment among the inlsses
of the people IN favor OF this action.
German influence at Buenos Aires Is
responsible for nonaction.
Sweden is similarly submissive TO
German influence, and the people seem
to be utterly unable to comprehend
the questionable and eQuivocal posi-
ton in which their government now
stands with the entente powers and
the world at large. The recent eiec-
tons did not have the desired effect

the parliamentary forces. IL any
thing, they REINFORCED the present
Swedish administra ton in power.
Past Incident In Sweden
The Luxburg affair Is a past Incl

1t as closed. 1t can be stated su-
thoritatively that the American gov
ernment does not regard it as closed.
There will be a sequel and an After-
math, but its exact nature cannot al
the present time be disclosed.
Let it be sufficient to say that Hol-
land, which now finds itself unable

TO SHOW ALLIES
US. WARMOvES
Motion Pictures Will Prove
America Is Preparing
for Conflict.
BY TRACY HAMMOND LEWIS.

Ihe administration regards the pro-
posed dissemination Of information re-
garding the war activities of this
country through the medium of the
films as the most important step
which has yet been taken by the
motion picture business in the per-
formance of its patriotic duties.
Three fields have been selected as
the center of this work-France, Italy
and Russia. The most vital is the
latter. where w. w. Irwin, general
manager OF the v. l.. s. E. has
volunteered to so as commissioner.
1t Is now generally conceded that
the fruits of the Root mission to
Russia were 4 disappointment. The
greatest difficulty with which the
American commission to Russia had
to deal was their inability to con-
vince the great mass of Russian
people of the effectiveness of the
United States participation in the
war. which German propaganda had
represented as negligible. Root and his
assistants had no medium to which
to change these views except that of
words.
Handicaps Overcome.
BY motion pictures all of the hapdf-
caps with which the Root mission
struggled are dissipated. 1t is plan
ned, through the system of Y. M. c.
A. Camps, which are established
wherever there are Russian troops.
TO cast upon the screen pictures show
ing the big strides America has made
towards the successful mobiliza ton
of an immense army.
Russia has become discouraged, and
has been led to believe that the
United States is making no effort
for participation In the war except to
benefit herself financially. She is con-
WINGED that such half-hearted assis-
tance will be insufficient to bring the
victory which the allies have up to
this time been unable to accomplish
Our government is convinced however
that the screen will present the true
state of affairs. in such a manner
that the Russians will be- given new
heart to resume vigorously the war
against autocracy.

CRILLS TEUTONS
IN FIERY TERMS
Judge Norris, in Speech,
Says They Are the Worst
Barbarians in History.

Pacifsts and those who oppose the
present war with Germany were de-
nounced in unmeasured terms by
Judge William F. Norris, Of the De-
partment OF Justice, last night in an
address on THE Human Drama" at
the central Y. NJ. c. A.
This war;" he declard. in part, 'is
one Of the most righteous ever waged.
The Kaiser wants to be what Caesar
was and can't-the ruler of the world.
1.-THE ancient Hun and the American
Acache were gentlemen compared to
the present German army" he con-
tinued. There are some who oppose
this war, some who would have peace
at any price-at the price of dishonor.
Submit. No!
"The Kaiser restricted our ship
ping, told US to keep 1t off the seas.
He did allow us, I believe, to send
one ship a week, and that under GER
tain conditions to Europe. There
some who wished US to submit to
that, because war is wrong
SuOulu we nave 10 u
No! Go back to the great men of
our country and them what we
should have done. Ask Washington
and he would say Young men, do as
did in the war Of the Revolution,
when I drew my sword to defend the
liberty of mankind
Come down to the last OF the rev.
olutionary Presidents, Monroe. Ask
him what we should have done. Ask
the man who defied the whole of
Europe. and told them that amy en-
croachment upon the new and weak
republics of South America would
be considered an act Of hostility
against the United States.
Norris Warmly AppIaused.
ASK Grant; ask Thomas, of the
civil war days. During the civil war
there was a song sung in the North:
Father Abraham. we are coming.
From where the Mississippi flows to
New England's shore, We are coming,
one hundred thousand strong" Ask
Lincoln what we should have done
now.
THE present German nation Is
worse than all the barbarians of his
tory. Those barbarians who went be-
fore never conceived the frightfulness
of the barbarians who compose the
German army, who cut of the hands
and feet of little children; who violate
women and girls. and cruelty their
enemies alive.
"A German will lie,' the Judge con-
tinued: ''he will steal, he will commit
and he will justify these
things because they are for his Kaiser.
Judge Norris was warmly applauded
at his conclusion and his audience
crowded around to congratulate him.
