BRITISH PEOPLE
FAVOR REPR|SALS


By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 1.-The text Of
the German note to neutrals announc-
ing the abandonment OF restrictions on
naval warfare reached London an hour
after midnight. in a summary cabled
from New York Of the Berlin dispatch.
1t was consequently too late for the
first editions of the morning papers or
for editorial notice. The official state
ment of the German decision in regard
to hospital ships was, however, given
the greatest prominence and the COM
ments thereon indicate that the note to
peutrals will not cause surprise.
The note has created a profound SEN
sation in England, where it was unex-
pected. All interest centers on the pol
icy which neutral maritime nations will
adopt.
The decision of the United States is
awaited with the most intense interest,
as it is recognized that it will have a
strong influence other neutrals and
be the most important factor in the So
luton of one of the most serious crises
Of the war.
Officials decline to discuss the ques-
ton formally at present. 1t is pointed
out that inasmuch as the note is adj
dressed to neutrals and not to the Brit
ish government. it is essentially for
them to deal with. At later time ap-
plication of the measures with which
the note deals may involve questions
affecting the entente nations as well as
neutrals. but for the present there is
a desire to avoid expressions which may
be open to the construction that in
fuence or pressure is being exerted in
regard to the decision neutral nations
will make.
The intimation that the government
plans reprisal is generally acclaimed,
although the Daily News while refrain
ing from speculation as to the form
reprisals make take, says:
THE question is peculiarly difficult,
both practically and officially. If we
are already waging war to the full ex-
tent of our capacity within legitimate
limits there is little margin for re-
prisals unless we are prepared to fol-
low Germany into the region of law
lessness and barbarism where her pre-
dominance over all rivals is unaSsail- |
able. In contest of that kind we
have been and always will be at hope
less disadvantage. OF that Germany
is doubtless aware and lays her plans |
accordingly"

signs of increased ruthlessness and
intensity in the submarine campaign are

1.-THE German manifesto with regard to
hospital ships has all the familiar marks
of German document designed to pre-
pare the way for inhuman deeds"
The Daily Telegraphs naval expert
declares that Germany's latest threat
exceeds in "hideous barbarity" any
thing in the history of modern war.
Behind everything the enemy does,
the naval expert adds, there is a de-
termination to prove that he will adj

must yield, and therefore she is des-

Both Look to America.

The Daily News. speaking of the
threat against hospital ships, says: ut
is clearly sign of desperation that al
ways seemed likely to mark the penulti-
mate stage of her resistance.
The normal standardizing of a new
atrocity need not astonish u.s."
The News then discusses the prob
able effect on neutrals of the German
declaration.
The neutral with which both groups
of belligerents are chiefly concerned is
America" says the News. land it will be
surprising If America shows herself in
different to Germany's proposed embark
alton on a new career of outrage. De-
liberation of the State Department in
negotiations with Berlin over submarine
questions should not blind it to the fact
that there is a long account still unset
tied. Her firm attitude on the arming of
merchantmen is a proof of Americas
determination to decide any marginal
case against the submarine and the at
tack on the Artist will be an additional
weight in a scale already heavily laden
with the Marina and similar cases"

Cites other Bases of Peace.

at is a little hasty, therefore, to say
that no peace can endure which is the
fruit of victory" said Senator Lodge.
The peace which lasts is the peace
which rests on justice and righteous
ness, and If it is a just and righteous
peace 1t makes no difference whether
1t is based on compromises and con-
cessions of treaties or upon victories in
the field"
Senator Lodge quoted from the Presi-
dents address to show that his pro-
posal for the establishment of perma-
nent peace rested upon an international
armed force, which must back up the
DEGREES of the league of nations sug-
gested. He insisted that there was no
other Interpretation. possible of this
part of the Presidents address. This
must mean. he said, the use of part of
the forces of the United States. He
gave an estimate of the force which
would be needed to compel obedience
to the mandates of the league. He said
that an army of at least 100000 would
be necessary. and that the quota of the
United States in this world army would
be not less than 5000 men.
will it not be worth while to pause
. moment before we commit ourselves
to an army of 100000 men to be held
ready for war at the pleasure of other
nations. in whose councils we shall
have but one vote, if We are true to the
Presidents policy of the equality of
nations?" suggested Senator Lodge.

Heavier Armament Urged.

Furthermore there is the recent dec
laration of one of the British ministers
along the same lines. and the British
papers are full of discussion of the
necessity of a heavier and more nu-
merous armament in order to attack
submarines successfully.
"In view of all this. there can be no
doubt, even in American minds, of the
offensive nature of the present arma-
ments and of the design to use them
extensively against small craft conduct
ing operations in legitimate and recog-
nized ways of cruiser warfare
The undersecretary then turned to
the subject of peace discussions and
President Wilson's message and to the
current report that Germany might, to
satisfy the demands here and in neu-
trail countries, make some announce
ment of it's intentions regarding Bel
GUM.
NO" said DR.. Won Stumm, mo an
inouncement which Germany is likely
to publish now. after the entente has
announced it's intention to crush Ger
many and wrest from it Alsace-Lor-
raine 1t would look as if we were
asking for peace, cringing under the
| insolent attitude of our adversaries
AS for Belgium. our chancellor has al
ready announced that we have no in
| tentions regarding that country"

Says Bernstorf Knew.

BERLIN, by wireless to the Assoc
ciated Press. via Sayville, Tuesday,
January 80 (delayed).-Dr. William Won
Stumn. undersecretary Of foreign af
fairs, told the Associated Press today
that Count Won Bernstorff. the German
ambassador at Washington, is fully in
formed on the governments present
attitude on the question of armed mer-
chantmen.
There has been no change of views"
said the undersecretary, since the
issuing of the German memorandum
on this subject last February, in which
it was announced that Germany re-
garded such vessels as warships and
that the German naval forces would,
after short period of grace, be in
structed to treat them as SUCH
The unconcealed intention of the en-
tente governments, as revealed by the
speeches of the ministers and instruc-
! lions to shipmasters, to arm all traders
| for attack, not defense, he declared,
| had forced the urgency of the question
upon the attention of the government,
adding:
| The American standpoint is that
| merchant ships may not be armed Of
| fensively, nor use their armament Of
| fensively, but, in addition to the Brit
| ish instructions captured on the Wood
| field and communicated to neutrals in
| the German memorandum of February,
showing Enthusiastically the offensive
purpose of procedure, we now have
| similar secret instructions of the
French government to armed merchant
men found on French prize and pub
lished by the German press yesterday,
ordering that fire be opened as soon as
| a submarine is within good range and
| recommending attempts to ram sub
| marines. submerged or on the surface.

Measures He Thinks Practicable.

Senator Lodge in conclusion said he
was a8xious that the power of the
United States should be used to pro-
mote peace. but that it was necessary
to fix upon some means which would not
bring about conditions which were
worse than those existing today. He
said:
There are measures which will pro-
mote peace and which are wholly prac-
ticable. The first and most important
Is the protection of our own peace
against foreign attack. That can only
be done by national defense, and we
have no adequate national defense
now.
The next thing TO which we ought
to address ourselves on the conclusion
of this war should be the rehabilitation
and re-establiShment of international
law. International law represents a
great mass of customs and usages
when have become law and which have
been observed, cited and referred to by
the nations. International law has had
an ever-increasing power on the con-
duct or nations toward each other We
should try also. within the necessary
and natural limits, to extend the use
of voluntary arbitration, so far as pos
sible, and create. as We can well do. a
powerful public opinion behind the
system. We can also do much in urg-
ing a general reduction of armaments
by all nations.
ut may be said that these are but
slight improvements and but moderate
advances. This may all be true, but
what propose has at least this merit
II Is not visionary, and I suggest moth
ing that is not practical and reasonable
and that will not, within its limitations,
do substantial good

Danger From Smaller Nations.

II the principle Of the equality of all
nations is carried out, Senator Lodge
said. in the formation of the league.
then majority composed of the small
or nations might plunge the great ma
lions into war with one of the greatest
nations to enforce it's decision.
Senator Lodge declared that the Mon
roe doctrine could not be made to ap-
ply to the rest of the world outside
the American continents, as suggested
by the President, because it had moth
Ing whatever to do with the rest of
the world. except to exclude those
other Nations from colonizing in North
and south America. He pointed out
doctrire which prohibited one Ameri-
can nation from warning with another
and taking the territory of another, as
IN the case Of the United States and
Mexico
Describing circumstances which might
arise should the United States Join q
league Of nations to enforce peace
Senator Lodge said:
suppose the Asiatic powers demand
the free admission of their labor to
the United States, and we resist, and
the decision of the league goes against
us. are we going to accept it? Is it
possibfe, that any one who wishes to
preserve our standards of life and labor
can be drawn into a scheme, yelled nv
glittering and glancing generalities.
which would take from us our SOW,
ereign rights and decide alone and for
ourselves the vital question of the ex-
clusion- of Monaghan and Asiatic
labor

PEACE PLAN SCORED
BY SENATOR LODGE
Says Presidents Proposal Is
Not Practicable and Would
Be Dangerous.
MENACE OF SMALL NATIONS

Let us beware how we take any steps
which may precipitate this country and
the people who are to come after us, ana
whose inheritance it is, into dangers
which no man can foresee." Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, told the Senate
today, addressing himself to the plan for
permanent world peace as outlined by
President Wilson in his recent address to
the Senate.
1--WE cannot secure our own safety or
build up the lasting peace of the world
upon peace at any price. The peace OF
the world, to be enduring, must be based
on righteousness at any cost.
"Of course We all agree most heartily
with the proposition that peace-just and
righteous peace-is infinitely better than
war; that virtue is better than vice.
said Senator Lodge. He then discussed
in detail the proposition of the President
for bringing about a permanent world
peace through league of nations to
enforce peace. Senator Lodge criticised
the President for laying down the gen
eral principles upon which the terms of
peace to follow the present war shall be
based. if the peace thus obtained is to be
a peace worth having.

Scores Peace Without Victory"

'Tn the first place" said Senator
Lodge, at must be a peace without VIC
tory" This can only mean, he said.
that neither side is to gain anything
by victory in the field.
Some of the belligerents, at least,
he said, believe that the one object of
the war is to win victory which will
assure a permanent peace. and would
regard a reproduction of the old con-
ditions, with all their menacing posi-
bilities, as something far worse than
war. Perhaps they ought not to feel
this way; perhaps they ought to feel
as the President does But we must
deal with things as they are.
How are we going to arrange a
peace without victory? The President
says that a peace with victory would
leave a bitter memory upon which
peace terms could not rest permanently,
but only as upon quicksand.'
Senator Lodge recalled that since the
fall of the Roman empire the longest
period of general peace in Europe was
the forty years which followed the bat
tie of Waterloo, and was obtained after
q very decided victory. He pointed out
that the war between the United States
and Spain had closed with a very COM
plete victory and that there seemed. no
reason to believe that a lasting peace
would not enSue

Mrs. Augusta Woodward was
born in Dodgeville, Wis, March
10, f842, and came to Colorado in
1864 in a prairie schooner on her
honeymoon trip which consumed
three months time. Her husband,
Thomas Woodward, who died two
years ago last September, had come
to Colorado a few years previous
as one Of the very early pioneers
and went back in '62 to get his
bride. Many hazardous meetings
with Indians were braved in safety
until their destination, Black
Hawk, in Gilpin county was
reached.
Mrs. Woodward is a much-liked
lady, the mother of Charles Wood
ward, secretary of the Colorado
State Senate, and does not appear
to be nearly SO old as seventy-five
years. The picture printed here
with was taken some twenty years
ago and shows the sterling quail
ties of this most estimable citizen.
