LONG FOR PEACE,
GERARD REPORTS

this time arrives, peace is immedi-
ately before the world.
Has Great story.
Gerard has given a summary of
his story to Secretary Lansing.
He may repeat it to President VIII
son today before leaving for New
York. Should the president, be-
cause of his illness, be unable 10
see him, however, Gerard will re-
turn next week.
After submitting his report in
full, Gerard will seek rest. He is
suffering from a cold of six
months standing; is weary and
worn from nerve-racking expert
ences of the last few months, for
back of his formal recital of po-
litical and economic condition in
Germany, Gerard is carrying a
story amazing in its dramatic Incl
dents, lurid in its colorful details
and with all the blood and thun-
der elements of the modern dime
novel.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Mar. Is.
-Friedenssebnsucht, longing for
peace, is the great deep-seated
emotion Of the German people to-
day.
With grim stolidness, they were
enduring hunger and privations
of all kinds, confident that with
their last and most ruthless war
weapon-the U-boat-an end to
the devastating European struggle
may soon be accomplished.
These are in substance the out
standing features of Ambassador
Gerard's first report to Secretary
ansing and other government Of
ficials on German conditions.
Can Last a Year.
There is another feature that
Gerard conveyed Of equal import
ance:
Despite the food shortage and
tottering financial structures of
government, Germany will be able,
unless there is a crop failure, to
struggle through for another year
by application of the most drastic
self-denial if peace does not come
before another twelve months.
There is no question, according
to Gerard, but that the German
people are united and determined
as never before In the war, to sup
port their government in policy
of unrestricted sub-sea warfare.
No relaxation can be hoped for,
unless the inefficacy of the U-boat
is proved beyond question. When

munitions were on board.
The captain In command was P.

missed his first trip in 25 years by
being detained in England in con-
nection with an inquiry into the
collision of the Sycamore with the
Kelvindale off Liverpool some
months ago.
No details have been received
as to where or when the sinking
occurred.
No passengers were on board
and only two American citizens
wer understood to be among the
crew. These were Michael Halo

LONDON, March 15.-London
is past expecting anything but
the worst from German submarine
commanders, but nevertheless
reports of some of the details of
the sinking of the American
steamer Algonquin aroused indig-
nation here today.
Survivors stories showed the
U-boat crew laughed at the
plight of the survivors when they
refused any aid in towing the
ships lifeboats nearer shore.
The Algonquins crew was al
most used up when picked up,
owing to % hours strenuous
pulling at the oars. They insist
ed the submarine, which was vari-
ously identified as the U-3S and
the U-39, sent rain of shells at
the Algonquin from a consider
able distance and seemed bent
particularly on demolishing life
boats by this salvo, before ap-
preaching near enough to finish
off the vessel.
Then the Germans went aboard,
promptly hauled down the Amer
lean flag and exploded bombs in
the ships hold.

eight-hour day conference head
quarters today gave out "unoffio-

titude would be conciliatory and
that they would be inclined TO
meet the four brotherhoods' de-

The only compromise intention
the brotherhoods had shown was
a statement of willingness to
agree to pro rata pay instead of
time and half for overtime above
eight hours.
There was evidence that the
railway managers would seek to
negotiate over compromise pro-
posals, hoping to postpone strike
action until Minday, when they be-
lieye the supreme court may make

While Stone at first refused to
