GERMANY FAVORS
PEACE WITH j. S.
TAKES STEPS TO OPEN DISCUS
SION OF MEANS TO PREVENT
WAR WITH UNCLE SAM.
OVER SUBMARINE WARFARE
Want Conference on Safeguarding of
American Ships and American
Lives on Seas-kaser's Ac-
ton No Surprise.

ashington.-Germany has taken
steps to open discussion with the
United States of means of prevent
ing war between them.
In seeking an exchange of views
on the subject, however, it is not un-
derstood that the Berlin government
proposed any modification of its ruth
less submarine campaign, and Off
Gals here say they can not enter
upon such discussion while vessels
continue to be destroyed in violation
of the international law. The new
move is understood to be predicated
upon a willingness on Germany's part
to discuss especially the safeguard
ing of American ships and American
lives on the seas, and backed by a
renewed expression of the desire of
the German government to prevent
the diplomatic breach from leading to
actual hostilities.
Just how American interests are
to be safeguarded if the German
war zone proclamation is to stand,
however, and whether any specific
means of preserving peace between
the two nations is included in the
communication has not been revealed.
Might Embarrass Officials.
1t has been felt here that Germany
has been warned more fully than she
had any right to expect regarding
the attitude of the United States, and
that she decided on her course with
full knowledge of it's results. 1t is
not felt that Germany will be in a
position to negotiate in the matter I'M
til she has withdrawn from a cam
paign which the United States has
condemned with the most serious
step it could take short of war.
Officials, however, apparently are
not surprised at the German action.

A British aviator who has been fly
ing In France since the beginning Of
the war told Popular Mechanics the
story of meeting shell from Ger
man seventeen-inch gun while he was
in the air.
l was at an altitude of about six
thousand feet one day, and climbing
higher at an easy angle, when one
of those big fellows, almost at the
end of its long flight. came plough
ing along in the opposite direction.
First, a dark little blur appeared
ahead at an angle of about thirty
five degrees above me. At first ii
seemed to be coming right at me
and / swerved to the left in an in
ened blow. Then a sort of dronine
hum became audible, and that sound
increased during the two or three
seconds that elapsed before the big
missile came up to me and swept
past. 1t was probably several hun
the distance seemed less.
A few faint STRINGS of air began
to rock my machine even before the
shell went by, but the full force oil
the .'air wash" came a fraction Of
second later. Then an almost solit
wall of air nearly threw me on my
beam ends, and was really hare
put to 1t to get the Keeling machine
back on an even keel. For the mex
mile or two the air was like water
in the wake Of big side-wheler,-
all chopped to pieces,-and the ma
chine rocked like a springless motor
lorry going over cobbles. The ali
was disturbed for some seconds aftel
loud roar astern had told me tina
the shell had come to earth.

And pretty as can be.

The very palest blue.
And in the center there's a heart,
AS red as red can be!
And on it's written, all in gold.
