Hindenburg's Views.
Regarding the situation on the
western front, Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg said the successful employ
ment Of the German policy of elastic
defense continued and that when oc'
casionally sections Of morasses or
smoke -blaokened debris were left to
their opponents for the purpose of
saving human material it was of no
importance Occasional local rebuffs
must be taken into account as an in
evitable consequence of carrying
through great ,offensives at other
points.
Regarding the supreme war council
of the allies the field marshal said
with a smile;
such institutions are always sign
of incapacity and helplessness. When
they are at their wits end a war coun-
Gil is established.
May Crush France Yet.
General Won Ludendorff said that
for Germany there was no question as
to Alsace- Lorraine. He thought a de-
cisive blow against France perhaps
would yet succeed, although nowadays
when national strength fights national
strength, a single blow could hardly
decide the war
The general said, however, that II
was not to be doubted a single mo-
ment who would be the victor.
Ridicules America.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg iron
ically referred to the American ad'
vertising methods" adding:
1T is certain that the United states
is making efforts to create big army
and the war Is an opportune preteN'
for this, as in peace times the diff
culties would be too great to do IT
Japan, too. would not have looked or
with indifference. The Americans vii
hardly send their newly created army
to Europe at once, as by doing 81
their own country would be rendere
helpless in case Japan should show
sudden inclination to square up OH
accounts with America.
Moreover the transport question

supplies. German U-boats would b.

but it is difficult to equip them. But
whenever they may appear, the Ger
mans will not be wanting
Asked whether the western Euro
pean powers, without the prospect of
Americas assistance, would not in the
clude peace, General Won Ludendorff
said:
U-boat Right Policy.
Since the U-boat war gave Amer
lea pretext to enter the war, this
question is tantamount to the ques-
ton as to whether the U-boat was the
right policy Regarding this my con-
viction is unchanged, The U-boat war
is right. 1t has accomplished what
we expected 1t was not a question
of starving England within a few
months but of making her inclined
| toward peace, The supreme army
command intended by means of the
submarine war to cause not so much
| special, but general, effects and es-
pecially as regards England-to cut
| pit props.
How effective thes campaign has
been in this respect is proved by the
report of the chief of the German
field railways that the allied troops
in Italy need no other supplies than
coal. The scarcity of British tonnage
is also proved by Englandis inability
to import Australian wheat"
With reference to the operations in
Italy, Won Hndenburg said:
Operations i'm Italy.
"The Austro- Hungarian army com
mand, with which we have cooper
ated excellently, and its troops have
stood the test splendidly. The Ger
man and Austro- Hungarian troop!
fought bravely and overcame all OBJ.
stacles Their advance and theii
achievements are excellent"
General Won Ludendorff. speaking
on the same aspect of the war, said:
Nothing definite can be said re
garding our final aim in Italy. A
any rate Trieste is out of danger; thu
front has been shortened by one hal
and the enemy has lost hundreds o
thousands of prisoners and half of hi
artillery and material. Moreove
with the advancing season the climatic
difficulties will increase especially il
the mountains. on the whole, ever,
offensive must have somewhat lon
interruption or end
Won Hindenburg in concluding tn
: interview said;
IF for some time yet we main
tain our strength and exercise pa
tience we shall carry 1t to goo

GERMAN OFFER IS
FLATly DECLINED
SWISS MINISTER PRESENTED
WITH REPLY TO TEuTON
PROPOSALS..
United States viii Not Discuss Dif.
ferences Between Two Countries
While Ruthless Submarine
Campaign Is In Progress.

Washington.-The United States
has fatty rejected Germany's offer to
discuss differences between the two
nations while the ruthless submarine
campaign is in progress.
In note on Monday to the Swiss
minister, who on Saturday presented
orally the German proposal. Secretary
Lansing said the United States does
not feel 1t can enter into any dis
cussion with the German government
concerning the policy OF submarine
warfare against neutrals which II Is
now pursuing unless the German gov.
eminent renews its assurances Of the
4th OF May (the Sussex motel, and
acts upon the assurance.
The state department made public
the secretary's reply. together with
memorandum which. at Mr.. Lansing's
suggestion. DR.. Ritter. the Swiss min
lister. had prepared setting down In
writing the suggestion originally
transmitted orally. Previously of.
ficials had declined to confirm the an
nouncement made Saturday afternoon
that such a proposal had been deliv-
cred by DR.. Ritter.
In view Of the fact that the United
States has taken the most vigorous
course possible short of war to de-
nounce the ruthless submarine war
fare, officials OF the government re-
gard the German proposal to nego-
tiate while the campaign is in prog
ress as utterly insincere. From the
first the move has been looked upon
and resented as piece of propagan-
da. designed to becloud the issue
and put the United States In a false
position Of belligerency.

rights. Henceforth he was sole own
er OF the estate; an estate which had
been In the family since its acquisi-
ton by grant in 1910, and which re-
NAMED In the family until sold In
1858 by John Augustine Washington
to the Ladies' Mount Vernon as
ISOLATION.
These facts, which shed some inter
esting light on the early history of
Mount Vernon, were obtained by Mr..
Callahan after constant study Of the
old official records of the courts and
vestry books Of the counties In this
part Of Virginia. They establish be-
yond all doubt the truth which Is that
the central part of the Mount Vernon
mansion was built by General Wash
ingtOn's father, that General Washing
ton lived there for two years when a
baby, and that his father built what
Is now the most conspicuous landmark
ON the place-the old barn.
Visitors to Mount Vernon during the
past few months have had opportunity
to witness the interesting work OF re-
roofing Washington's old home, the
historic mansion wherein he died. 1t
Is learned that this Is the fourth time
the roof has been shingled, the other
dates being 1742, 1885 and 1860. In
each instance the material selected and
Hsed was the best cypress shingles.
A short historical review of the con-
ktrnnfinn al 90 Il
dwelling may be worth notice, as few
among the many visitors happen upon
Information on the subject. The cen
trail portion of the present building was
erected In 1923 for Maj. Lawrence
Washington, who named 1t the Mount
Vernon VILLA" out Of respect for Adj
miral Edward Vernon of the British
navy, under whom he had been serving
In South America. This modest cot
tage, or villa, consisted of four rooms
on the ground floor, with bedrooms
and an unfinished attic above.
At the death of Lawrence Washing
ton, 1852, the property fell to the own
ership Of his half-brother, George, who,
In IT'S, added to the attractiveness of
the Interior by paneling the hall and
h6 ing the ceilings of the parlor and
dining room decorated In stucco.
After the revolution Washington's in
creased fame attracted to Mount Yer
non such a horde of guests 1t was
found difficult problem to entertain
them comfortably In the limited num-
Der of rooms Mt his dismissal
At first General Washington thought
OF tearing down the old building and
erecting a more pretentious dwelling
OF suitable proportions to meet the re-
quirements, but he finally decided to
enlarge the cottage.
