sified as third class mail matter with in

dignation when in July, 1914, he re-
ceived from the German chancellor the
suggestion that Germany, if English
neutrality were guaranteed, would en-
ter into an obligation not to aspire to
territorial extension at Frances cost
also If Germany were victorious in the
war. At that time also Grey declared
this proposal as most shameful"
1.-THE Tangible Point"
And the hproacnes that the German
peace Offer contains nothing tangible?"
was suggested~
THE tangible point said Director
Hammann, was that Germany declared
her readiness to communicate her peace
conditions in conference with her adver
saries The Entente has declined this
proposal. To me it seems evident that the
Entente, when doing this, felt seriously
concerned and greatly depressed on &C
count Of the impression this refusal Of
the German peace offer must make on
the neutral world.
This is clearly indicated by the tone
of the Entente note. 1t is exactly as if
the Entente were in certain sense
afraid to listen to the conditions of the
Central Powers Are those men who gave
to the Entente note its particular tone,
perhaps, afraid that these conditions of
the Central Powers are much too sensi-
BILE and moderate for them before their
nations, who long for peace, to under
take the responsibility of declining those
individual conditions?
"All events, our adversaries would
have acted more frankly if they had
fatty and plainly said: We will wait
because we still hope that we need
not negotiate, but can dictate the
terms of peace In order to avoid this
awkward avowal the Entente now
takes the attitude of the judge of the
world.
But all that the Entente obtains by
this proceeding is that it's guilt for the
continuation of the war, Enthusiastically
in the eyes of the whole world is not
diminished. but increased"
And what will the Central Powers
reply to this note?" was asked.
DR.. Hammann answered: II am no
more in office, l do not know the Off
cial peace plan, but I do know what
every German, what every citizen in
the countries allied with us feels at
this hour-however, to such overbear-
ing language there need be no discus
sion."

guilty to murder and pleaded guilty of

sentenced to life Imprisonment.
This disposition of the case is under
stood to have been the outcome of ne
gotiations between the prosecutors Of

that Atwood would never be brought to
trial and that revelations which he had
promised to make would not become
public.
