German Press Sees Solemn
Peace Offer to Petrogrdd

The Hague, June 16.-According to a
Berlin dispatch TO the Netherlands
agency, the German press universally
regards the declaration of the "Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" regard
ing Russia as solemn peace offer.
a Cologne dispatch TO the same
agency states that the "Kolnische
Volkszeitung," in commenting on the
Berlin newspapers statement, says:
president Wilson desires to fan
Russia's will TO persist in the war. The
striking feature is that in the 'Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung' article
the German government not only puts
Mr. Wilson in his place, but addresses
a solemn peace offer TO Russia.
"Our enemies will undoubtedly make
incorrect deductions from this new
peace offer. but the German people
cannot sound il forth too clearly that
the new offer 20 Russia is made at a
moment when Germany's military posi-
ton is equally favorable on all the
fronts"

Anton Lang's Isolation
In Bavarian Village Ends
When He Finally Finds

Copenhagen, June 16.-Anton Lang

ton Of almost monastic isolation, he
has finally been called 20 the colors

"Tageblatt" from Augsburg, Bavaria
Herr Lang has hitherto seen no ser

There were rumors that he was serv-
ing with a ski corps in the Vosges, and
that he had lost his life fighting in the
Champagne. But while he is ONLY
forty-two, and many men past his age
labored with the Landwehr in the
trenches, the military authorities lie,

At first the war did not much move
Oberammergau, remote as the little
village has always been from the things
of this world and wrapped up in It's
great religious festival, celebrated
with scarce an interruption since the
twelfth century. In the beginning Lang
continued his trade as a cotter, or
builder of the tile ovens which are part
Of every Bavarian peasants home.
But gradually a cloud Of sadness
gathered over the village. There we're
partings young men leaving for the
front. and. by and by, men not so

Transportation Difficulties
French Drive Expected
Russian Offensive Highly I'm.
probable, Press Is Told
at Berlin Conference

Copenhagen, June 16.-Representa-
tives of the German press were told
yesterday, at the regular weekly press
conference in Berlin that the arrival
of American troops in noteworthy
numbers in the European theatre was
10 be expected only in 1913.
The general staff lecturer also took
the ground that the American forces
should be treated as a negligible
quantity in the general reckoning
owing to the difficulties Of finding suf-
fcient tonnage for transportation and
supply.
The suggestion was followed in
numerous articles in the newspapers
yesterday and this morning.
The newspaper representatives also
were told that a new Russian offensive
was highly improbable. but that artil.
lery and aviation activity and recon-
NOTHING raids indicated new French
offensive was in preparation.
No Surprises Expected
The British also were certain 70 try
their fortune again, but no surprises
in offensive methods were expected
from either the French or the British.
and the only variant from the earlier
offcnsives would be a change of geo.
graphical location.
Germany's situation was described as
absolutely secure, and German victory
as certain, owing 10 the relentless
working Of the submarine. Heavy esti-
mates of French and British losses
were supplied 70 furnish encourage
ment 20 the readers. England's losses
in fifty DAYS Of the spring offensive
were placed at 225,000 men. from
thirty-four divisions engaged. The
same proportion was applied 70 seven
tv-two French divisions, producing an
estimate of French losses Of more than
100000.
Purpose of Air Raids on Britain
The correspondents were told that
the purpose Of the air raids on England
was TO keep in the islands trained men
Of the aerial corps and guns for de-
fence, and the submarine warfare also
served TO weaken the British offensive
by keeping from the front men and
guns required 10 arm merchantmen.
Another transparent piece Of propa-
ganda for the purpose of encouraging
the people is seen in the Bucharest
story in regard TO the Rumanian grain
oxports. These are described on some
days as surprising the requirements OF
100, 1000, 900 persons, an assurance which
contrasts strongly with the official an
nouncement recently made in regard TO
the necessity Of reducing the amount
of bread supplied in lieu of potatoes.
