PEACE NOT DURABLE
UNLESS ALLIES WIN
Is Text of Amplifying Note Which the
Entente Allies Have Sent to
the American Government.

four, British foreign minister, to Ambas-
sador Spring Rice, and delivered yester-
day to the state department, amplify
their reply to President Wilson's peace
note by explaining in detail why they
believe it impossible at present to at
tain peace which will assure them such
guarantees as they regard as essential.
The note also explains why the allies de-
mand the expulsion of Turkey from Eu-
rope; restoration of Alsace-L Lorraine to
France, OF Italia lrTedenta to Italy and
the other territorial changes set forth.
On the subject of Turkey the note
says:
Evidently the interests of peace and
the claims of nationality alike require
Turkish rule over alien races shall if
possible be brought to an end; and we
may hope that the expulsion of Turkey
from Europe will contribute as much to
the cause of peace as the restoration of
Alsace-Lorraine TO France, of Italia IRE
denta to Italy, or any of the territorial
changes indicated in the allied note.
In conclusion ii is stated;
Though therefore the people of this
country share to the full the desire of
the presidents peace, they do not be-
lieve peace can be durable if it be not
based on the success of the allied cause
For a durable peace can hardly be ex-
peeted unless three conditions are full
filled. The first is that existing causes
OF international unrest should be as far
as possible removed or weakened. The
second is that the aggressive aims and
the INSCRIPTIONS methods of the GEN.
tral powers should fall into disrepute
among their own peoples The third is
that behind international law and be-
hind all treaty arrangements for pre-
venting or limiting hostilities some form
1f international sanction should be de-
Tised which would give pause to the
hardest agTessor."
Great Britan's answer although un-
expected was interpreted as her Official
acceptance and endorsement of the presi-
lent's proposal.

And Shipping Circles in New

New York, Jan. ls.-With the possibil.

captured from Is to a score of allied
ships is still continuing depredations,
owners and marine underwriters were in
state of nervous tension to-day. The
losses on ships and cargoes thus far rep
resent from sl5,0Oo,000 to S20,000,0o0. A
Gordon of British cruisers, reported to
number Is, is believed to be sweeping
the southern seas in search of the raider,
which, according to one report, may be
the auxiliary cruiser Vineta, and accord
ing to another, the cruiser Moewe, the
same sea rover which played havoc with
allied shipping about year ago.
Shipping circles were especially con-
cerued to-day over the wireless warning
that the German raider was working
northward to the more frequented lanes
of ship travel. Possibly the raider may
have armed one or more of her prizes
and dispatched them also on commerce

iety was the report that the British
steamer st. Theodore had been thus
Definite news of the fate
of this vessel and of the Yarrowdale,

crews of the other vessels captured, is
still lacking to-day.

The German sea raider which had played
havoc with allied shipping was reported
800 miles south of Cape Henry, appar-
entity working northward to the more

RETAIN NAVY YARDS.
Although They are Not All Ideally Lo
Gated for Strategy.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. lS.-Return:
of all existing navy yards, esta blishment
Iof submarine bases on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and a thorough aeronauti.
cal survey of the coast of the. United
States and its possessions were recon-
mended to Congress yesterday in a pre-
liminary report by special committee
of navy officers appointed by President
Wilson.
The commission consisted of Rear Ad-
miral j. ID. Helm; Chief Constructor w.
i. Capps; Civil Engineer H. H. Rousseau; !;
Captain G. w. McElroy and Commander
G. L. Hussey.
1t spent several months making in
spections along the coasts and announced
yesterday that further investigation
will be necessary before complete re-
ports can be made on any questions.
! On the abolishment of navy yards the
report says that "full consideration of
the present and prospective size of our
navy, its requirements, not only in
peace, but during the far more exaeting
conditions of war, should bring eonvinc-
ing evidence that the adjustment at this
time of any existing navy yard or naval
station Within the continental limits of
the United States would be quite with
out justification"
The report explains that this should
not be taken to mean that there might
not be transfer of work from one yard
to another or changes in methods of
handling work at certain plants. 1t de-
clares that the present equipment of
many yards is inadequate in drydocking
facilities, berthing space, storage, facili-
ties, machinery and other details.
Not all the yards "are ideally located,
to meet strategic and other requirements.
but the commission concludes that such
considerations must "have little force in
view of actual conditions and the actual
requirements Of the present and prospec-
tive fleet.
The report says in answer to the state
ment that a great concentration OF yards
would be economical that "the question
of economy as determined by concen-
tration of naval repair establishments
must yield absolutely to the far more
serious necessities Of the fleet. as undue 1
of such naval repair estab- /
lishments might very easily involve, in /
time of war. military disaster"

SEA BEING SWEPT.
British Cruisers are Following Up clews
to Raider.

| Norfolk, Va, Jan. lS.--Ats least ter
British warships are searching for one OF
more German raiders now destroying
allied merchant ships in the Atlantic
ocean, from point 1000 miles off the
! Virginia capes to the coast of Brazil
Warnings sent out by British war.
ships yesterday Indicated that they were
then 600 miles south OF the Virginia
coast, and were apparently following up
clews as to the whereabouts of one oil
the German vessels.
This warning also told of the presence
of an unidentified submarine sighted 500
miles off the Virginia coast.
The message reported raider last
sighted about 1900 miles off the Virginia
coast, and probably not trying to reach
port. The vessel was said to have shown
three stacks, two of which may be false.
Following this warning, the British
government sent out an official warning
to masters of all allied ships not to pro-
ceed to sea, in direction of position where
the raider was last sighted.
The British agents here said it was
highly probable that the British war
ships had received such accurate infor-
nation of the location of one of the
raiders as to warrant the statement that
a chase was in progress and that the cap
ture or destruction of this vessel would
probably be made known in few days.
German agents seemed to think the
ship the allied warships had located, if
any, was the British steamer st. Theo-
dore, which was captured by the raider
and put in charge of prize crew from
the German craft.
This vessel has on board passengers
and crews taken from other ships sunk
by German raiders.

POPE PROTESTS
Against Further Deportation of the Bel
gians.

Against Further Deportation of the Bel
gians.
London, Jan. lS.-With view to pre-
venting further Belgian deportations and
bringing about the repatriation of those
already sent to Germany, Pope Benedict
has made representations TO the imperial
government, according to a letter from
Cardinal Gasparri, the papal secretary OF
state, to Cardinal Mercier, primate Of
Belgium, which has been given out here
| The pontiff has also directed Cardinal
| MERCER to do all in his power TO alleviate
| the sufferings of the Belgians and the
cardinal has instructed the priests to de-
! fend the interests of civilians and pro-
vide material comforts to the families of
the deported men. Cardinal Gasparri
wrote as follows to Cardinal Mercier:
Gasparri's Letter.
"The pontiff, whose fatherly heart is
deeply moved by all the sufferings of the
well beloved Belgian people, has instruct
ed me to inform your eminence that,
taking vivid interest in your people,
who have been so harshly put on trial,
he has already pleaded in their favor
with the imperial German government
and he will do everything in his power
in order that an end may be put to the
deportations and that those who have
already been carried off far from their
country may soon be back amidst the
mourning families
"I1is holiness also has been pleased to
entrust me with the agreeable mission of
sending to your eminence and the faith
full diocese of Malines his very special
benediction."
In his instructions to the parish priests
Cardinal Mercier says:
'In spite of the protests addressed to
Germany by the sovereign pontiif and
many neutral powers, the deportation of
your civilian population has not yet
ceased. 1t is our duty to alleviate as
much as is in our power an evil which we
are unable to prevent"
The cardinal then directs how men
now dependent on public charity. the
sick and the infrm, should provide them
selves with necessary Identification GER
tificates and how the priests shall form,
together with leading citizens and relief
associations, committee to visit and
console the families of those who have
been deported.
The parish priests are also directed to
"do everything in your power TO obtain |
the return of the deported men"
