GERMANY WOULD
NOT SURRENDER
ALSACE-L0RRA|NE
Socialist Says Such Peace
Terms Impossible,

The lavish promises Of some OF the
outside Intermediates in the peace
movement that the German socialists
and the German government, in order
TO arrange peace, would be ready to ne
gotiate a settlement OF the AlSace Lor-
raine question under the guise Of "fron-
tier regulation" have no basis in fact
according to a statement made TO the
Associated Press BY Dr.. Eduard David,
one OF the most prominent OF the Ger
man socialist delegates 10 the stock
holm conference. DR. David was en-
pha,ic in declaring that the German
party nor any government could be
found which would consent to the alien
alton OF territory which was regarded
as fixed part OF the German empire.
Neither Would Give Up Territory.
Neither the German government nor
the German socialists are willing 60
surrender Asace- Lorraine he said.
In further explanation OF the pro-
gram with which the German majority
socialists are ging to Stockholm, Doc
tor David said that it included the
restoration" OF Belgium but his Ian
guage left il uncertain as to whether
he meant financial aid toward restor-
ing the dcSola,ed country to It's pre-
war condition. As far as Russian
Poland is concerned. the majority so
cialsts advocate plebiscltc to deter
mine whether the population wishes the
establiS liShment OF a kingdom under Aus
tro-Gcrman auspices or government
with Russia, either as part ot that
country or as a Polish state with close
relations to its great eastern neigh
Dor.
No Endorsement from Berlin.
The program OF the German major
ity socialist delegates to the Stock
holm conference evidently from the
statements OF Doctor David, carries
no Endorsement by the German govern
ment. Doctor David clearly intlmated
that the action of the delegation is
only binding upon its party and that
the envoy have mo definite pledges
or authorizations from the administta-
ton at Berlin. The hopes OF the dele
gates that the German government ul-
timately will be found amenable to the
majority socialist program OF peace
without anncxatIuns or ,ndcmnl',rS are
based partly upon the party'S strength
and influence in Germany and partly
,,no, ,he indef,nt,e statsn,euts Ot that
master phrase maker, Chancellor Won
Bethmann- Hollweg like his declaration
that the government is ready 20 con
ciude peace which will leave nc
,hornS to rankle"
II the conference proves aboruv'
DR.. David declares that Germany ha'
perfected its organization so as 10 live
ON what il can ranSe and IT will con
tinuc the struggle without weakening
In answer TO a question regarding th'
present German attitude toward Amer
lea the socialist leader said that there
was no one in Germany who did not re-
grc' the break with the United State
and tha, it was the general hope tha
the war would be concluded beior
Americas participation in the oonilio
could become actual
Reform Sure to Come.
Questioned as to the fate OF the re
form movement, DR.. David asSerte
that reform was sure to come, but dl
not specify as TO whether the chang
would he effected during or after In
war.

Peace Delegates
Attack Draft Law

NEW YORK. May 3l,-The conscrip-
ton law was characterized today as
both immoral and unconstitutional at
the first American conference on democ
racy and terms of peace, which was
again In session today at Medison
Square garden with socialists and paci-
fists In attendance. The speaker was
Daniel Kiefer OF Cincinnati, who was
introduced after DR., Judah l., Magnes
one of the organizers of the conference,
had referred to newspaper dispatches
from Washington telling of the purpose
of the department Of justice to take
= stenographio notes at peace meetings
and prosecute those who infringe the
law
II don't know whether this is the kind
of meeting the department OF justice
means" said Doctor Magnes, but II IT
Is and there are stenographerS here |
would like to invite them to this place
where they may see and hear everything
that transplres. In Prussia. at political
meetings, the stenographers as seated on
the platform. They take notes and re-
port TO the government, lnasmuch as
we are very rapidly becoming Prussian-
iIed, we should follow the Prussian ex-
ample at our meetings"
Doctor Magnes pointed out that the
organizers at their conference had re-
solved that proposed adoption of any
action contrary to the law would be
declared out of order but that they re
garded as perfectly within the law and
favored all discussions as 10 the wis.
dom and unwisdom of existing laws"

ried to the position given him, but

three hours before giving up the search.
NEW YORK, December 11.--OficiaIs Of
the Munson steamship line here were still
without advices today regarding Its steam
er Mundale The vessel, carrying thirty
seven men, was reported last night as
a position about fifty miles southeast OF
Cape Hatteras. An oil steamer. which

for assistance was not the Mundale. which
was in government service and bound for
a southern United States port. They said

her departure from Philadelphia and the
time the oil tanker picked up the wireless

POSTMASTER GENERAL IN
REPLY TO Mr.. GOMPERS
Mr.. Burleson States Issue Regarding
Government Workers Main
tanning Organizations.

In a statement last night Postmaster
General Rurleson replied 10 Samuel
Gompers' attack upon his recommended
ton that Congress deprive postal en-
ployes Of the right to organize for
other than social and mutual welfare
purposes and to affiliate with the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor.
Mr.. Burleson quoted paragraphs from
his report, pointing to the difference
between employees working for private
interests and those working for the
government, whose officers are merely
executing the will Of the people, and
added:
The issue is not whether the govern
ment workers should have the right to
maintain organize tons. but whether 1t
Is wise that they should affiliate with
an outside organization and use the
strike and boycott as a last resort to
enforce their demands"
