War That Will Follow x
Declaration of Peace

Washington, May 2. - Administra-

bers of the British and French mis-
sions that. despite reports to the con-
trary, German industries turned out
for two years after the war began
enormous quantities of nonwar mate
rial, to be dumped into the worlds
markets when peace comes.
AS producer. it is asserted, the
German to-day is worth two Ameri-
cans. For cheapness of production II
is contended that the Germans will
compete with the Chinese. If defeat
cd, Entente Commissioners believe,
Germany will turn all her attention
to the field of economics. trade and
manufacture and take revenge upon
her present enemies through these
channels
The French government Is said to
have proof that Germany is now con-
structing merchant fleets to carry out
the commercial program after the
war. This is in direct conflict with
reports of returning American OFF,
cials and agents.
A member of the French mission
said that Germany must be treated
fairly after the war or there will be
cause for another disturbance of the
worlds peace.
