would be against the real interests OF
Germany but also the realization that
after the United States joined the
ranks of the enemy the time had
passed when Germany could hope 70
dictate terms of peace or even MOD
crate terms.
The Associated Press correspondent
heard this view in even gloomler
terms from various sides in Germany
at the time of the rupture OF rela-
tions between the United States ana
Germany, namely that If the Unlteo
States decided to take an active part
in the war, Germany would no longer
hope to gain a victory but after hold
ing out for year and a half or two
years, must inevitably submit to the
economic pressure of the blockade.
Worwaerts speaks of the great
strength of America as a peace max
ing power and points out that with
out its cooperation at the peace con-
ference it would be impossible to Sc
cure the possibilities for economic de-
velopment which Germany will so
screlv need after the war.

appear with a plan that will solve the
entire U-boat problem. The subma-

One suggestion is that the United

the most effectual, it is said. On the

sending "our boys" to the allied

ALL WELL WITH WAR.
Bethmann- -Hollweg Talks Optimisti-
cally OF Situation.

London March 30-A Reuters
dispatch from Amsterdam today adds
the following to the wireless version
of the speech of DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, the German imperial chan
cellor, in the reichstag:
Regarding the military situation
l have little to add to the army re-
ports. In the East, extensive opera
tions are out of the question at pres
ent. The season of impossible roads
prevents operations on a greater
scale.
"In the West our backward move
ments are being effected according to
plan and lead to daily increasing free
dom of movement The thanks OF
the entire people are due to the troops
and their skillful leaders.
"On all the other fronts our troops
are standing with undiminished ten
acity. In Macedonia, Bulgarian and
German troops are splendidly repuls-
ing French attacks on a great scale.
Regarding the submarine war,
the secretary of the admiralty today
made a detailed statement to the
main committee of the reichstag."
Discussing internal politics, the
dispatch quotes the chancellor as
saying:
although I would like it best If
we could make reform in the fran
chise tomorrow. 1 doubt whether the
moment when We are concentrating
all our strength in fighting the enemy
is the right one for inaugurating a
new electoral law. We must subor-
dinate everything to bring the war
to a happy conclusion"

secretary, speaking on the American
situation said The United States can

Cavalry On Border.
The creation of Is training centres
would provide for two infantry dl-
visions at each post. Presumably the
centres for the four cavalry divisions
would be somewhere in the region
OF the Mexican border, so that this
mounted force can take over the bor-
der patrol work to a large extent. re-
lieving the majority of the $4,000
regulars now assembled there.
With the calling out of the first
100000 of the new army provision
would be made for a new complete dl-
vision at each training centre.
No further steps toward calling out
the National Guard will be taken until
congress has acted. 1t is proposed To
draft the entire guard into the federal
service, divorcing it from its militia
status at once, instead of summonlns
them under their dual allegiance Or
CARNATIONS.
This can be done only with author
ity of congress. When that has been
granted. even the 10000 guardsmen
now in the federal service on police
duty will be drafted formally so as
to do away with any possibility OF
dual authority over them or restrict
ion on their use.
