Geneva Dispatch Says German Gov
ernment Medtates Dramatic Pro-
posal of Complete Disarma-
ment Of All Nations.

London, July 20.-The Reuter- Am

Americans were shot recently ON the
charge of having attempted to take
the German emperor'S life"

Paris, July 20.-A dispatch to the

government, according to reliable In
formation, lGeditates the dramatic
proposal to its enemies and to the
world of complete disarmament, ex-
cept for sufficient forces to maintain
compulsory peace by compulsory ar
bitratiOn.
1.-The German government" says
the Temps, while allowing the solu-
ton of the internal crisis to appear as
success for the pam Germanists. has
in view a maneuver or a quite different
aspect. The bellicose declarations
that resound, and will perhaps con-
tinue In Berlin, will be nothing but
the prologue, designed to represent
Germany as invincible. Afterward
perhaps sooner than is expected, will
come the thee trical initiative In which
Germany will show q disposition tO
disarm."
Conservatives to Have Resolution.
Copenhagen, July 2O.-The German
conservatives have decided to submit
In the reichstag an alternative resolu
ton on the aims of the war from the

between this and the block resolution
will come up. A majority Of thu

is said to be for the latter.
Admiral Won Tirpitz has telegraphet
an appeal to Ernst Bassermann, the
national liberal leader, who is now al
invalid, to leave the sanitarium where
he is under treatment, and assist II
the fight against the block resolution
in the reichstag. The Yon Tirpitz mes
sage says:
mo passing food difficulties Or wal
WEAKNESS must be allowed to softer
the German peoples determination
and render possible a peace which
would threaten the future of Germany
and its working classes. The bull
of the national liberals will probabl,
vote against the nOn-annexationist res
olution."
