READY FOR PEACE
Germany Is Prepared to Quit
War Without Victory.
New Note To Be Sent to the
United States Soon.
ENDORSE THE WILSON PLAN
Kaiser Willing to Join League
to Prevent Future Wars.
But Peace Without Victory
Must Come Now or Never.

Amsterdam, Jan. 30.-Germany and
her allies are ready to conclude
peace without victory" But in con-
Guiding it, she would have the world
understand that she views this now
famous term strictly in the sense
pointed out by President Wilson in his
senate speech-and only in that sense.
This, it is learned on high authority,
will be the sum and substance of the
new note which Germany, according
to strong reports. is planning to send
to the United States.
What the central powers will sub
stantially say to the United States in
response to the presidents address is
this:
we do not propose to force victory
upon the loser.
Nor do we intend to impose vic
tors terms upon the vanquished."
They will not use the words loser
and ''vanquished.'
They will insist, however. without
using these terms, that on the battle
field they are the victors and that,
therefore. to offer the hand of peace
again, after the blunt rebuffs hurled
at them by the entente, they are not
acting from fear or weakness, but
from the previously emphasized ar
dent desire to bring peace to the world
and save Europe from utter ruin.
Now Is the Time.
They will assert that if there is to
be peace without victory" this. and
this alone. is the time to conclude it.
The peace that Mr.. Wilson has pro-
posed, they will say. is possible only
now. when neither side is crushed
They will state that they are vic
torious on all fronts in their struggle
against a gigantic plan to crush them
that they have attained the only aim
they had in this war-to defend their
existence.
They will outline, in a general way
similar to that of the entente note to
President Wilson, their peace terms
and will emphasize that these terms
! entail no humiliation, no duress, nc
intolerable sacrifice. would leave nc
sting, no resentment, no bitter
memory.
The guiding keynote of the mes
sage, it is said, will be:
We are not crushed and never will
be. We have not crushed our foes
The time to make peace is now. We
are ready
! Endorse Wilson Plan.
The note, it is further reported
will endorse President Wilson's ad.
dress in every essential point. AS in
Dictated in the above. it will mos
likely be virtual parallel to the
presidents speech, referring thruou-
to the conditions outlined by Mr.. Viii.
son and often quoting his own phrase
ology.
The note will announce the centra
powers Willingness to join after the
| conclusion of peace, an "internationa
concert, which must thereafter hole
the world at peace" 1t will announce
their readiness to enter into an agree
ment with the other great powers
again, after peace is made-to limi
| armame ntS.

Italian Crafts Fire.

Rome, Jan. 3O.-The Austrian de-
stroyer HuzZar was put out of action

CAPTIVE SAILORS
OF 469 Taken in South Atlantic Raid,
~ Imprisoned.

London, Jan. 30.-Germany is keep
ing as war prisoners all neutral
members of the crews of armed prizes
taken by the latest German raider,
according to stories of neutral survi-
vors from the Yarrowdale, arriving
at Copenhagen today enroute to their
homes.
Twenty-siX such urvivors-Ameri-
cans, Swedes and Norwegians-arFi
ed at the Danish port direct from Ger
many. They had been taken from I'M
armed vessels captured by the raider
which all agreed was the Moewe-
and brought into Swinemunde on the
Yarrowdale, later being released on
their showing of neutral citizenship,
and because the ships on which they
served were unarmed.
The original German statement on
the Yarrowdale said of the 469 mem
bers of the crews of captured vessels
brought into Swinemunde 1913 were
neutrals. 1t was therefore assum d
here today that the II remaining neu-
trails are being classed by Germany as
members of hostile forces simply be-
cause they served on hostile mer-
chantmen.
The state department at Washing
ton has instructed Ambassador Ger
ard at Berlin, to ascertain whether any
of the sailors held prisoners in Ger
many are American citizens.

Wall street spectators and business

port as an indication of what the

This record caused steel common,
