Washington. June 29.-President
Wilson's call for volunteers to bring the
regular army up to its full war strength
of 100000 men by today, has not been
realized. War department figures in
dicated that there is still shortage Of
$4,000 men. This discrepancy will be
relieved by taking reservists from the
ranks of the selective army.

SAY GERMANY KNEW Of
u. S. NOTES IN ADVANCE

was the frank statement made to
the United Press today in French
and British diplomatic circles.
These diplomats commented
frankly today on what they term
ed the Clever diplomatic victory
of Germany over the U. S. at the
beginning of the present peace ne
gotiations.
They limited they believe Ger
man diplomats in this country in
some way obtained advance infor-
nation of the peace notes" and
Immediately wirelessed the Berlin
government the information.
BY this course Germany expect
ed either to strengthen her own
offer of peace or to create ill-feel-
ing between the U. S. and the al
lies.
The British and French public
nearly fell into the latter trap as
the editorials and press comment
the first few days after the presi-
dent sent his note showed, the
diplomats pointed out.

criticism. in the general chorus
of approval of the allies answer
to Germany.
That was in the editorial COM
ment of the Daily News, which
feared faulty translation into
English of the French word
sanctions In the notes text
might lay the allies open to the
charge of vindictiveness. The
Daily News pointed out that some
newspapers had translated the
word penalties and some ret
ribution' and some PREPARATION.
Fear misunderstanding.
1.-THE French word sanctions ~"
the editorial asserted, lis rather
a synonym for guarantees than a
blunt threat of punishment which
would probably stimulate the Ger
mans to fight to the last man
rather than submit"
The Manchester Guardian APP
proved the substance of the note
in its editorial today, but severely
criticised the language in which
It was phrased as "undignified
and almost abusive"
The paper asserted that such
expressions in the note as "insin-
cere proposals" were humiliating
blemishes, weakening the general
effect of the note.

LONDON, Jan. with every
word of the allied reply to Ger
many being approved by press and
public, attention conferred today
on just how much further the en-
tente would go in specifying its
stand in the reply to President
Wilson's peace note.
The general belief today was
that the allies. having outlined in
a broad, general way in the Ger
man note the position they must
adopt with regard to Germany's
peace proposals would make the
reply to America a sort of supple
ment, which would go more ex-
haustively into the aims and pur-
poses animating the allies in their
determination to cDntfnue the
war.
In some quarters it was held
the reply to Germany was a full
and sufficient answer to America.
Few Criticisms.
Most officials, however, pri-
vately expressed the belief that
England and her allies should
set their position before the neu-
trail world even more explicitly
by an amplification in the note to
America.
There were only a few notes OF

lege in 1888 by a Mrs. Margaret
Whaley, consulted the family and
wrote to Colonel Endi who was
then president of the William and
Mary College, Va, and learned
from him the name and address of
the English lawyer who was en-
ployed by the college. The
original legacy was little over
$500 placed by the executors
in the Bank of England where it
had accumulated to several thou
sand dollars with the added in
terest. The lawyer discovered the
real estate, but was unable to get
possession of Lord Salisbury's
papers in whose possession the
property was held. There is no
record of deeds in England as in
this country. Thomas Cooch, the
1st, was a solicitor and business
manager for the marquis of Sails
bury at Bishops Hatfield. The old
MAI quis, who was man of bad
character, fell violently in love
with Thomas Cooch's beautiful
daughter. A continuation of his
attentions would therefore have
been most undesirable. To avoid
this contingency Thomas Cooch
the 1st, left England, coming tc
America and purchasing the
Cooch's Bridge property in 1745
bringing with him his son, Thomas
the End, and his wife and daughter
at was while we were looking
into the matter with the aid of the
English lawyer that my cousir
named her new home 'Lowen,
after the English testator."
Upon the purchase Of the prop
erty by Walter C. Curtis, follow
ing DR.. Clark's death, the nam'
was changed by the curtis famil,

cousin, Mrs. Caroline Cooch Clark.
The place was named 'Lowen,' in
honor of an English ancestor,
Francis Lowen of Bishops Hatfield,
near London. Francis Lowen, the
testator, willed his zeal estate at
Bishops Hatfield to Thomas Cooch,
the son of his sister, Sarah Lowen
Cooch, wife of Thomas Cooch. the
1st, who were my great, great
grandfather and grand mother. He
also willed 5000 pounds to the
said Thomas Cooch, making him
also residuary legatee. To the
mother of said Thomas Cooch the
End, my great, great grandmother,
Frances Lowen also willed five
thousand pounds. The will was
made in ITO and reached this
country in due time. It, however,
fell into the hands of a jealous
party, who concealed the fact of
it's arrival from Thomas Cooch, the
1st, who was then on his death bed.
The Revolutionary war broke out
, soon after and my grandfather,
William Cooch, who was in the
American navy, was taken prisoner
by the British and carried to Lon
don. While there he attempted to
gain information in regard to the
property of Francis Lowen, but
was unable to, present facts as the
will had not then been discovered

years after it's arrival in America
