NAN POWER DwrNDLING

f' BOSTON. Aug 2.
clarence W. Barron. publisher Of the Bos-
IN News Bureau, declared in an interview
uoday that Germany wants peace that the
( 9xerturu Of Russian autocracy eliminated
Al danger OF friction over the most trou-
y ulesone questions of the war--those which
relate to the Bosphorus, Constantinople. the
ooutheastern States, the Bagdad Railroad
and the Persian Gulf; that another year
Z OF war means destruction of man power and
maritime and Industrial position of Ger
many. and that the big men ~ Germany
see II; that German mlltarisn has killed
tself and can never be revived, and that
tho United States has the financial re-
sources to finance peace settlements Of the
whole world, to fight the battle through
--and Germany can take her choice.
Mr.. Barron was seen at his summer home
at Cohasset. The reporter referred TO an
article entitled Germany Wants Peace"
published In the Boston News Bureau. and
asked II he would discuss the peace situa-
tion.
II consider II highly dangerous to discuss
peace prospects save In the most guarded
manner" he replied 'If there Is a popular
impression that peace Is In sight II may
weaken or delay the arms. OF the United
States In striking the final blows for peace.
only from a financial standpoint can
the Importance OF the United States In this
war be understood" he continued. "a few
figures may illustrate this. When Germany
was preparing LOT war Sne lcNIeu II per
cent tax upon the capital OF the empire
but II took her three years to collect 1t. In
the three years of the she has ex-
pended 80 per cent OF her national wealth.
IF peace were to come tomorrow Ger
many would be staggering under a war
burden Of $4,000, 900, 900 600, ,000. 900. 900
marks) This is n larger war debt than
was ever contemplated or assumed by any
nation.
. THE people ought to understand. there
fore, that the impending peace proposals
are forced. not by Germany's weakness in
arms but by the threatened destruction of
Cermany's man power in fourth year of
war and the loss of her position in marine
transportation and In manufacturing and
her bankruptcy in finance. And of these
four factors, the loss in man power is the
greatest loss.
Every man who has studied the situa-
ton has seen that the great difficulty in
any peace settlement Is not In the West, but
In the Far Feast But the moment autocracy
has been overturned in Russia, and the
declaration comes forth that Russia does
not want any new territory, or to be dom-
nant in Constantnope, the way is clear
for terms of peace.
Russia can get that which she Is en-
titled to have--a free waterway. The
Turk may hold that which he is entitled to
hold--his capital at Constantinople And
the pocketbook of Uncle Sam be called
upon to finance the peace settlements just
as effectively as now in financing the war
