German Paper Finds
"Peace Movement
Growing in y. S.
ESPECIAL Correspondence

LONDON, Oct 1.-THE peace cur
rent in America" runs a prominent
headline in the Berlin Vossischc lei
TINA for October Q. Under this head
ing follows special correspondence from
Switzerland dealing with the pacliist
activities in the United States. The
correspondence reads:
From the New York and Boston
newspapers of the first week Of Sep
tember that have just arrived here it is
seen that the peace movement in the
United States is growing, and that it is
not only war preparations that are FILL
ing up the political life, as Reuter-
would like to make Europe believe.
The following interesting facts can be
found in these September issues:
"'Senator Stone, the president Of the
Senate Committee OF Foreign Relations,
presented to the Senate at the end of
August resolution of the well known
paciist group of Pinchot, Eastman and
others, which demands a thorough con-
sidcration Of the Reichstag peace res
olution. At the same time Senator
Stone defended himself against the dis
honorable insinuations that had been
raised against him, and he announced
that he would unswervingly continue
his cndeavors, the aim of which was
not a German peace but a peace by
understanding.
"Also Charles W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard University, one Of
the most furious haters of Germany,
expressed himself, as can be seen from
long letter he had addressed TO The
New York Times in favor Of peace by
understanding. Eliot finds the situa-
ton on European fronts more or less
unchangeablc, and demands an imme-
diate conference of all belligerent
powers which would discuss the possi-
bilitics Of peace without suspension
of hostilities.
"As before, now, too, there are being
made attempts in the East of the Unit
ed States 10 Illustrate pacifist meetings.
And in the West Governor Burnquist
Of Minnesota, has, against all justice,

Political Effects of the

Awaited by

The Italian army is still retreat
ing toward the line of the Taglia-

rear guard forces, which appear to
be retarding the enemy's advance.
French and British troops have
been sent to aid them, Jules Cambon,
Secretary of the French Foreign
Ministry. announced yesterday.
A dispatch from Italian army
headquarters says normal conditions
are rapidly being restored.
Mackensen's army, in eight days,
has conquered nearly 1000 miles Of
Italian territory and captured l20,-
900 prisoners and more than 1000
guns. The invaders have driven to
within four miles of the upper Tag
liamento, but the military situation
as whole seems more favorable TO
Italy. The country is united behind
the army and the new Premier, Or ]
lando.
The primary purpose of the Teu
tonic blow at Italy is to produce po-
litical effects favorable to an early
peace of advantage to the, Central
Powers, according to the belief In
Washington. If Mackensen obtains
a decision in Italy, Germany will
make peace offers directly to France
and Britain, it is believed.

France S Ban
On Hearst
rs,,r forrpondenesl

PARIS, Oct. 18.-The news service Of
William Randolph Hearst is back in
France as the guest of the United
States War Department Twice the
French authorities refused the use OF
the cables to the international News
Service, and the second time the Hearst
represen natives we're informed that the
ban was permanent, or at least for the
duration Of the war.
OF course, the French did not like
the pro- German editorials of the Hearst
papers, but their particular basis OF
complaint was that dispatches sent
from France were twisted and rewrit-
ten in the Hearst Offices in New York
in order to conform to the editorial
policy Of the Hearst papers. When the
ban was lifted for the first time the
representatives Of Mr.. Hearst promised
that they would not offend again by
changing cables from abroad. The
French authorities say that this pledge
was not kept, and for second ana, as
they supposed, last time the use OF the
cables was denied TO the international
News Service. The service had already
been barred from use Of the English
cables, but the French deny vehementiy
that any English pressure was brought
10 bear upon them TO discriminate
against Hearst.
When the American army cane 10
France the censor was surprised and
81 H,I that thn "a
War Department, ignorant or needless
Of the French quarrel with Hearst, had
accredited one Of the ]. y. S. men to go
with the forces Of Pershing. The dis
matches which he wrote carried the
stamp "Controle American" and the
French, therefore, felt that it would not
be courteous for them TO intercept
them.
But the Hearst representative soon
proved TO have a larger mission than
that of merely covering the American
army. He was the one Hearst man in
Europe who had the cable privileges
and he used TO refer TO himself as "cov-
eYinp the continent" for his paper. In
deed, he did just that, for from tiny
and isolated French town he proceeded
20 send cables commenting on the po-
litical situation in Russia, or the mill
tsry condition OF the Rumanian army
The "Controle American" took them
all through and they appeared back
home as special cables presumably
from q man In touch with the situa-
tions Of the far of lands.
The Hearst correspondent played
Hearst politics by coupling propaganda
matter with American army news, and
n. tried 70 send dispatches home built
on q fake inquiry among the donghboys
a. 20 what they thought OF Hender-
son's break with Lloyd George.
The French have never trusted
Hearst or his men, and they trust them
les, since IL was shown that Bolo Pacha
crossed the ocean In company with Ber.
tell, the Paris representative OF
Hearst, and that Hearst himself met

First Wounded
American Saw
Shell Coming
By Haywood Broun

fCoDrsh, 1911. by Tho Tribune As.ociauonl
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY
ARMY IN FRANCE. Oct. 31.-"You
never hear shell that hits you" is a
saying at the British front. but the
first American to be wounded says he
not only heard but saw the she'll which
left fragments of steel in his knee.
| saw this man, lieutenant. in the
oase hospital to-day. He was cheer
full, because the surgeons had told
him he would be well soon and proba-
bly, would be able to walk without
trace of limp.
A badly built fire was the cause Of
the leutenant's being wounded. II
drove him out of dugout for air. and
he had hardly Strengthened up before
he ducked again. He declared that he
saw the she'll coming over the brow of
the hill. IL seemed only about nine
feet high, and this guess was con-
firmed when it was found wires at
that height had been cut on the tor.
The shell, coming down on an arc.
was making straight for the lieuten
ants head. lie fell fiat. and the mis-
sile exploded twenty feet beyond.
Thinking there would be more along
soon, he ran toward another dugout.
He noticed nothing but slight twinge
in his knee. He had hurt it once In
football at West Point and thought
it was only the old twist come back.
In the entrance Of the dugout he
suddenly collapsed and found blood
gathering at mis- knee. A French Off
GER ran up to him. you're mighty
lucky" he said. "You are the first
American to be wounded" The lieu
tenant. however, did not cheer up i'm
mediately, not even when the ranking
French officer told him he purposed
TO put up wooden sign with the in
scription "On this spot the first Amer
lean was wounded"
After a night in the field dressing
station the wounded man was started
for the base hospital in an ambulance.
He heard a lot of loud explosions near
at hand on the journey, and thought
the ambulance must be passing an
American battery. what were those
explosions? Was that an American
battery" he asked the driver. IL
should say not" said the driver. THE
Germans were shelling us and trying
to get the ambulance
The rest of the journey was quiet.
At the next village French of1cer
was on hand TO congratulate the pre-
mier blesse."
Now the lieutenant would be per-
fectly happy if he only had some
cigarettes and IL the doctors would let
him smoke them.

lndecisive Peace
Brought Nearer by
Italian Catastrophe
By c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.--If Ger
many's drive into Italy is successful
that is, if she thrusts Cadorna beyond
the Taglamento line and skaters the
Italian morale-it is fully expected here
that she will make another and more
direct effort at peace than any she has
made hitherto. She may play another
political card, perhaps induce Sweden
to enter the war on her side, before
moving for peace. But every blow she
strikes now is aimed to produce polt-
cal effects which favor her getting early
q peace agreeable to herself.
Bernstorff used TO say before he left
here that peace-that is to say. a Ger
man peace-was lying on the floor for
any one to pick up. All Germanys
efforts since then have been TO make
some one pick it up. OF these efforts
the present drive into Italy may easily
be the biggest in its consequences.
An indecisye peace is nearer to-day
than at any time since this country
entered the war II will remain one OF
the possibilities as long as it is uncer-
tain whether the Maekensen drive can
be stopped. And doubt of the power. OF
Italy to hold Mackensen will exis. as
long as it is not clear whether the
Tagliamento line is likely to be turned
or broken by direct attack. An answer
to this question may take days.
Next German Move
Expected To Be Direct
No weakness upon the subject OF
peace is detected here. Probably no.
where else in the world is there ss
Inconclusive peace, which NAV hold out
the prospect Of further hostilities in
the future, as exists here in Washing
ton.
II Germany really means to get peace
and thinks she can have II, there will
be no more moves through neutrals or
through the Pope. but England or
France or both OF them. II is believed
here, will be approached directly. Peace
will no longer lie on the floor for any
ere to pick up, but will be offered d.
rectly into the likeliest hands, and they
are felt to be those Of the strongest
powers in the war. who. by reason of
the suferines they have undergone. are
readiest to listen 10 proposals. There
Is no disposition here to suspect any
