PEACE TERMS THE CRY
Of GERMAN|C PRESS
Chancellor Busy Determining Drift
Of Public Opinion-Speaks
on Tuesday.

Especial Cablegram to The SUNDAY Stur
and New York Times.)
THE HAGUE. May 12.--Peace terms
are now the chief cry Of the German
press. Paper after paper. mostly with
out international reputation. IS be-
ginning to provide lists of peace terms
for Chancellor Hollweg which they de-
clare have high or semi official au-
thority. The terms are mostly con-
Trajectory and evoke much comment IN
the press.
1t would appear that Bethmann Holl-
veg has been engaged in sending out
balloons to try which way the principal
conviction of public opinion runs: MOST
of t. ,se deal principally with the
tariffs of England and America.
Afraid of Tariff War.
It is more than evident that the Ger
mans are now desperately afrald OF
tariff war and it's consequences for
German trade after the war. All the
papers are taking up this and the ques-
tion of the protection of German inter.
ests in foreign countries as the most
important questions in the peace nego-
tiation.
The Rhenish Westphalian Gazette. the
great Essen paper, points out that Ger
many was inclined to underestimate the
Paris conference. The mention OF Il
tariff war has taken on a serious as
pect and may be of grave consequence
TO Germany's commerce, especially if
Great Britain and America are able to
draw all of Germanys enemies into an
imperial tariff union, as they undouht-
edly are.
Chance1lor's Policy.
The paper points out that Germany
will be Obliged to face the hard facts
and can only regain it's lost ground
in the world industry by degrees and
that peace negotiations will be first
opportunity for this. It is evident
Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg is try
Ing to discover some kind of peace
terms which shall give him a majority
of the reichstag. shall avoid military
opposition and yet look as if they
might be discussed by the allies.
