GERMANY SENDS NOTE
TO NEUTRAL NATIONS
Declares That Entente Re

Them by Germany.
DENIES WAR MANEUVER
Says Germany Persuaded
That Just and Honest
Peace is Possible.
DENIES WAR MANEUVER
by AssoCIATEp PRESS

Berlin; Jan. Herman has adj
dressed note to neutrals concerning
the reply of the entente to the Ger
man peace proposals, the Overseas
News Agency announces. The note
says the entente declined the Teuton1c
peace proposition in language which
excluded an answer to them, but the
imperial government considers it i'm
portant to point out it's opinion of
the situation to neutrals
Discussing the entente's assertions
that the German proposals are with
out sincerity and are plainly "a war
maneuver," Germany and her allies
protest vigorously against 'this char
acterization."
The note says: Germany is per-
suaded that a peace which is just and
acceptable TO all belligerents is pos
sible, and that it could be brought
about by an immediate spoken ex-
change of views, and that, therefore,
the responsibility for further blood
shed could not be taken"
The note calls especial attention to
the demands of the entente and the
objects the war as outlined by various
entente statesmen which, it says
shows that the efforts of the entente
are directed against "the conquest OF
AlsacT Iorain~, and several Prussian
provinces, the humiliation of Austria
Hungary, the partition of Turkey and
the mutilation of Bulgaria"
The note accuses the entente OF
using colored troops contrary to the
law of nation, barbarous treatment Of
prisoners, and the deportation of the
civil populations of East Prussia, Gal
icia. The Belgian situation and The
history of the early events of the wal
are discussed.
At its conslusion the note says
"Our allies will continue to struggle
in quiet confidence until peace i:
gained which guarantees their ma
tons honor"

Because of an expressed desire for
a conference from counsel represent
ing the railroad company, the COM
missioners have not yet taken action
on the question or ordering the ~
fixture of the Memphis & Pensacola
bond. Mayor Hinrichs has received
a request from the company's coun-
sci for the conference, and, wishing
to afford the company all the chance
to make good, the mayor has taken
the question up with the city attor-
ney and there it rests for the pres
emit.
The proposed conference will prob
ably take place tomorrow morning,
and final or definite action will be
taken probably at Mondays meeting
of the city commissioners.
Mayor Hinrichs said yesterday that
according to information which he
received Tuesday, practically no &C
tivities on the part of the Nj. & P.

tober or November. 1t was told that
not within the past ninety days had
there been anything like work done
on the road site, and then single
wagon, a mule and one man consti-
tuted the working force.
Because a delay is suffered, it does
not mean that the commissioners are
disposed to view the question differ

There is probably no other case in
which the entire family Of any noted

learned his lesson from his father, the
late Col John Jacob Astor, who was
one Of the hrst men in the country to

Before the United States entered the

be able 10 operate It. In addition to
this he had financed others who were
doing something TO promote aviation in
this country
But he soon found that he had no

business Of fighting. and he turned his
attention to the navy, He knew a yacht
from infancy and figured that his
knowledge might be turned to use.

the office in the custom house where
the naval militia directed things. he
