1 of December at his special request. | Before I left I was impressed with the idea that he desired above all things both to keep and to make peace. l Of course, this question of making peace is very delicate one. A direct offer on our part might have subjected us to the same treatment which We gave Great Britain during our Civil War when Great Britain made over lures looking toward the establishment of peace and the North answered, practically telling the British govern ment that it could attend to it's own business, would brook no interference, and would regard further overtures as unfriendly acts.
 The Germans started this war with l out any consultation with the United States and then seemed to think that they had q right to demand of the United States that the United States make peace for them on such terms and at such time as they chose; that the failure to do so gave them vest ed right t9 break all the laws of war fare against their enemies, and to mur der the citizens of the United States on the high seas in violation of the declared principles Of international
 Nevertheless. I think that the in clination of the president was to go very far toward forcing of peace.

by the chancellor into a sort of garder on the gently sloping hillside below the chateau. Here the emperor, dressed IF uniform, was walking
 The conversation lasted far beyond lunch time and 1 will later give a de- tailed account of it. Anxious heads were seen appearing from the windows and terraces of the chateau to which we finally adjourned for lunch. I sat between the emperor and the Prince of Pless. Conversation was for most of the time general, and subjects such as the suffragettes and the peace ex- petition of Henry Ford were amusingly discussed.
 Alter lunch I again had long talk with the emperor. but of a more gen eral nature than the conversation in the garden
 That night, about II o'clock. after again dining with the chancellor, we left Charleville in the same special salon car, arriving at Berlin about 1 ?. m the next day, where at the sta tion were a crowd cf German and American newspaper correspondents, all anxious to know what had hap pened.
 At this iast dinner al the Chancel- lors he took me off in q corner and said, As I understand it, what Amer ica wants is cruiser warfare on the part of the submarines" And I said, Yes, that is it exactly. They may ex- e-cise the right of visit and search, must not torpedo or sink vessels with out warning, and must not sink any vessel unless the passengers and crew are put in place Of safety
 On the morning of the 3rd of May 1 heard that the German note had been drafted, but that it would contain a clause to the effect that, while the German submarines Would not go be- yohd cruiser warfare. neVe; thelesS this rule would not apply to armed merchantmen.
 As such a proposition as this would, of course, only bring up the subject again, l immediately ordered my auto- mobile and called on the Spanish am baasador, stating to him what I had heard about the contents If the note; that this Wou.d mean without q doubt a break with America, and, as I had been instructed to hand the embassy over to him, that l had come to tell him of that fact.
 I gave the same information to other colleagues. of course. hoping that what l said would directly or indirectly reach the ears of the German foreign office. Whether it did l do not know, but the Sussex note when received did not contain any exception with refer ence to armed merchantmen.
 With the receipt of the Sussex note and the presidents answer thereto which declined assent to the claim of Germany to define it's attitude toward our rights, in accordance With what We might do in regard to the enforce ment of them against England, the suDmarine question seemed at least fol the moment settled 1, however. i'm mediately warned the department that I believed that the rulers of Germany would at some future date, forced by public opinion and by the Conservative and Won Tirpitz parties. take up ruth less submarine war again, possibly il the artumn but at any rate about February or March, 1917.

Mr. Gerard's Prophecy of UBoat
 Warfare and Voyage to America

Chancellor Von Bethmann- H ollweS while at Charleville always desired to make any settlement of tine submarine question contingent npoh our doing something against England, but again and again insisted that we could not agree to do anything against some other power as condition of obtain ing a recognition of our rights from the German empire.
 During my stay at the general head quarters, General F'alkenhayn, all though he was there at the time, care fully avoided me, which l took to be q sign that he was in favor of war witE America. In fact. l heard afterWard that he had insisted on giving his views on the subject but that a very high authority had told him to confine himself to military operations.
 After we had been a day or so at Charleville, the vice chancellor, Helf ferich, arrived. l have always believed that he was sent for to add his weight to the arguments in favor of peace and to point out that it was necessary for Germany to have the friendship of America after the war to have markets where she cou place her goods. And l am convinced that at this time, at any rate, the influence of Helfferlch was cast in the scale in favor of peace.
 Luncheon With the Emperor
 Finally, I was told that on the next day, which was Monday, May l, l was to lunch with the Emperor. Grew was invited to accompany me and the chancellor said that he would call for me about an hour before the time set for lunch as the emperor desired to have a talk with me. In the afternoon an extract from the log of German submarine commander was sent to me in which the submarine commander had stated that he had sighted a Ves- gel which he could easily have tor pedoed, but as the vessel was one hundred and twenty miles from land, he had not done so because the crew might not be able from that distance to reach a harbor. When the chancel- Tor called for me the following morn- ing, he asked me if I had read this ex- tract from the submarine officers log, and noted how he had refrained from torpedoing a boat one hundred and twenty miles from land. l told. the chancellor that I had read the extract but that I had also read in the news paper that very morning that a ship had been torpedoed in stormy weather in exactly the same distance from land and the crew compelled to seek safety in the ships boats, that anyway one swallow did not make a summer" and that reports were continually being received of boats being tOrpedOed at great distance from land.
 We then got in the motor and motor ed to the chateau about a mile off, where the Kaiser resided. We got out of the motor before going into the courtyard and immediately I was taken

BILLBOARD CAUSE
 IF AUTO WRECK; bOY
 KILLED IN ACCIDENT

Prevented from obtaining a clear view of the approaches to the inter section at East Van Buren and North Seventh streets because of the high billboard extending north and cast al that point, the drivers of two automo piles on Monday were unable to stop their machines in time to prevent q collision.
 As a result an eight -year-old boy, Alvin Ross, son of MT. and Mrs. $. l.. Morris of 143l East Washington street sustained injuries from which he died shortly before noon yesterday at the Sisters hospital w. H. Knox, a we'll known rancher, driving the car that crashed into the Morris automobile, sustained more or less painful injuries and for time was unconscious from being thrown against his steering wheel Both Morris and Knox claim that the billboard was responsible and their neither was to blame for the ac- cident
 Knox was driving west on Van Buren street while Morris was moving south on Seventh street. Neither was travelling at a high rate of speed Nor l ris believing the road clear ran into the intersection just as Knox drove in
 
 1 to quite clear the path of the Knox | machine, the latter running into the left rear wheel of the Morris car. Both ] rear wheels were demolished and the Ross boy was thrown from the car | distance of about fifteen feet, striking on his head and shoulder. He was un- conscious when picked up and taken l into the grocery store at that corner Dr. M. T. Bailey, who was driving along Van Buren street on his way to his office, was almost an eye witness of the affair. He was at the boy's s side as soon as he was taken in the store. He assisted in the removal of the injured lad to his home and in the evening noted an apparent change for the better. Yesterday morning con. vulsions ensued and Dr. E. Payne Palmer was called by Dr. Bailey in consultation. It was decided that tre- phining was about the only hope ot saving the child's life. It was also de- cided that this operation should be per formed at l o'clock in the afternoon At 11:30 o'clock the boy was seized with heart convulson from which he died.
