Berlin DisavoWs
Peace Endeavors
OF DR.. Hoffman,
Press Insists Former Swiss
Minister Acted on
Own Volition

Berlin, June 90 (via London, June
zD.-The Berlin press comment to-day
on the Hoifmann-G Grimm incident coin
cides with the attitude of official cir
cles by asserting that DR.. Hoffman,
was acting wholly on his own intia-
tive.
The editorials set forth that DR..
Hoffman, was fully within his rights
as set forth in the Hague treaty, which
comedies TO neutrals the right TO inter-
cede in behalf OF peace. DR.. Hof
mann's assertion that the Germans are
not contemplating an offensive on the
Eastern front, owing to the present
state of Russia's attitude. is explained
az being the natural deduction TO be
drawn from official and semi-offcial
utterances during the last few weeks.
The "Tageblatt" deplores that the
door through which ray of peace SUM-
shine might filter has been slammed
shut through the brutality Of the Brit
ish war desires.
But we wish to add" says the news
paper, that the Hoffman, incident is
not an affair into which German poll
tics IS TO be dragged. IL was a bit Of
Grass nonsense when Robert Grimm was
represented by hostile countries as a
German agent II is also still more
nonsensical to stamp the former Swiss
Minister of Foreign Affairs, who always
has been paragon of strictest neutral
ity, as a German agent"

EMERALD MOST COSTLY GEM
Ono Consideration That Makes Them
! Hioh-Prieed 10 They Are Sell
dom Free From Flaws.

In the mind Of the average person
the diamond is regarded as the most
valuable Of precious stones, but as n
matter Of fact large flawless emeralds
are great deal more costly than dia-
monds Of similar size. jewelers. say
that one Of the considerations that
makes these rich green gems so high
priced, If perfect, Is that they are sell
dom free from flaws.
According to the Smithsonian in
stitution good diamonds are worth
from $3.50 to $500 per carat, accord
ing to purity and size, whereas an
emerald varies from $3.50 to $780, the
price increasing rapidly with size.
Flawless emeralds weighing more
than four carats are said to be prac-
tically priceless, but diamonds of that
size are worth only $1,000 to $1,000.
Another factor that is said to con-
tribute to the high price Of emeralds
is that they are hard to initiate and,
unlike some green stones, retain their
color when heated and when subject
ed to artificial light. 1t is claimed
that this latter fact makes them par
ticularly desirable for evening wear.
