New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-30

wv IHEN The Review went to press
w the cables had just brought news
of the Kaiser's offer to evacuate
Belgium upon his own conditions. 1t was
too late to incorporate any general press
discussion Of this subsidiary offer; hence
the present article is confined to the dis
Cussion of the replies proper of the two
Kaisers to the Pope. Two New York
papers, however have already made brief
reference to the offer respecting Belgium.
THE World" wrote
What Berlin fails to understand is that
the evacuation and restoration of Belgium
is only ore of a series of conditions OF
peace, the most essential of which is a
rev kind of government in Germany"
"The Herald" spoke of the offer as "the
newest peace trap baited by Berlin" and
reminded Berlin that the certain con-
Gltions" will be stated by the Entente
lilies and not by the Kaiser" adding:
He, or his successor, or the man repre-
senting defeated Germany, will agree to
the conditions laid down and will thank God
they are not as hard as they deserve to be-"
The German and Austrian answers to
the Pope have been treated by the press
unanimously except for Mr.. Hearst's So
called "American"-with a mighty chorus
Ct indignant rejection. Never has diplo-
matte document been spurned with more
burning scorn than the German reply at
the hands of American editors. They ex-
haust all the resources Of their rhetoric
to express utter contempt for the Kaiser's
latest peace effort.
Two points stand forth strikingly in the
American comment. The first is that the
replies are just what was to be expected
the second, that they change nothing and
90 not bring peace nearer. That they
awaken no surprise is remark that re-
ours over and over again in editorial dis
cussions. Another thought that finds fire.
quent expression is that the Kaiser makes
the mistake of assuming that mere words
can change anything in the present posi-

The German Peace Reply

EIRST of interest in world affairs dur
Il ing the week is the long-waited Ger
nan and Austrian reply to the Pope. Aus
tria asserts her willingness to enter into
negotiations in the sense of the Pontiff's
suggestions. her belief that the future
arrangement of the world must be based
on the elimination of armed force and on
the rule of international justice and
legality, and her readiness to enter into
negotiations for the submission of inter
national disputes to compulsory arbitra-
ton

The Bernstorf Message

CLOSE on the heels of this information
~ Secretary Lansing gives out a mes
sage which former Ambassador Won
Bernstorff sent to Berlin on January p,
1917, ten days before the declaration OF
unrestricted submarine warfare, asking
$4,000 for the purpose of influencing
Congress "as on former occasions" through
a certain organization to prevent war.

Reactions to the Reply

II HE Allies uniformly view the main
4 reply as barren of hopes for early
peace negotiations. In England, where
radical revolt trembles under the crust,
Asquith declares that Berlin lodges the
issue, though Arthur Henderson says Ger
many is ready for revolution. From Italy
comes word that the Pope will soon send
another note. The United States says least
of all.
Only in Germany is the reply generally
praised. Liberal papers are surprised by
It's warm attitude toward disarmament,
and all dwell on its dignity. Macmillan
Harden declares it sincere, insists Ger

The B0lskevih Peril

EANTIME the aftermath of the
wi Korniloff- Kerensky dispute is fol-
lowed by another serious internal crisis
for Russia. The Bolsheviki-most radi-
cal of the Socialists, and supporters of de-
fensive war only-threaten to gain control
of the Provisional Government. A con-
gress of all the councils of Russia is called
to exercise its authority in the name OF
Russian democracy to insure the stability
and inviolability of the present admin
straton led by Kerensky.
Complicating the situation appear
charges that both Kerensky and Korniloff
recently planned to crush the people OF
Petrograd. Explanations are demanded
of Kerensky, while the Korniloff revolt

The Bucharest Violation

THE next day Secretary Lansing re-
L sumes his disclosures, showing how
Germany abused the protection of the
United States by secreting in the German
Legation at Bucharest, after the Amerl-
can government had taken charge of Ger
many's affairs there, quantities of power
full explosives for bomb plots and deadly
microbes with instructions for their use IN
DESTROYING horses and cattle.

The mild cases of this trouble are re-
sponsible for great many OF the
epidemics, as they are able to walk
about, and mingle with other children.
We have no specific treatment for scar

drastic in its quarantine nor too much
afraid of it. / would advise that you
avoid it, just as you would German

be reduced to minimum and many
