Americans Forced
Into German Army
Military Authorities Say They
Have Forfeited United
States Citizenship

COPENHAGEN, Aug. l4.-An Amer
lean Of German birth, who was per-
mitted to leave Germany recently, says
that the military authorities there are
commencing to take American citizens
long resident in Germany for military
service, on the grounds that they have
forfeited their American citizenship
and are now denetionalized. Even
native born Americans, he says, have
in some instances been put into the
army, but the military duty usually sp-
plies to naturalized citizens Of German
origin.
The procedure OF the military author
tiles against the so-ealled stateless in
dividuals repeatedly has been the sub
ject Of interpretations in the ReichStag.
usually in the case Of Belgian residents
in Germany. but the authorities refuse
TO change their attitude. The Ameri-
cans, number OF whom have protested
to the Spanish Embassy, il is believed
here, have little hope of escaping SER
vice.

Allies to make clear to their peoples
the peril that lies in settling with Ger

clear that those peoples will not hesi-

They will have to show the public that
all the blood and treasure thus far
spent have been spent in vain If a

This is not an easy assignment, and
no one in Washington has illusions
about II.
The proposals are addressed over
the heads of governments TO the peo-
pies who are doing the fighting The
aim is 10 make the positions untenable

going on fighting for financial repara-

the hours when our own drafted armies
are leaving their homes. 1t is timed
also to make the most of the Socialist
movement in France and England for
a peace on a mo annexation" basis.
Allies Wishes Denied
The effect of this well calculated
movement is expected to be less in
this country than abroad. for there is
not the war WEAKNESS here that there

LONDON. Aug. 14.-The Pope's
peace proposal comes at the psyche
logical moment 10 have the greatest
influence here.
In Catholic circles the Vaticsn's sc-
ton is naturally considered as highly
important step along the road TO peace,
which undoubtedly has been greatly
shortened in the last two months. The
terms are in line with the general opin-
ion. with the exception Of Alssee-Lor-
rsine. which the majority holds snou|d
be returned to France as one of the
preliminary steps to negotiations.
All the Pope's previous interventlons,
"a "The Star" said, have been academic
rather than practical, and it is inti-
mated that he opposed any overtures
until both groups OF belligerents de-
sired peace. Evidently he considers
that that time has arrived. 1t is be-
lieved here that Erzberger conveyed to
the Vatican the wish Of the great
Catholic party in Germany for peace
while the Austrian court since May has
been in constant touch with the Vatican
on the question of peace. About fort
night ago Geneva papers published
remarkable article denying the theory
that the Pope hoped for restoration and
the status quo.
TO state that his proposals will lead
TO nothing is absurd, for every men
tion OF the word peace brings the bel
lieerents closer together. The peace
forces are daily making greater prog
ress in every European belligerent.
From Holland comes the report that
the Germans Intend to make no direct
peace move until October. Meanwhile
tLey intend 70 see whether America
means business, and whether they can
depend upon the submarine as sue
cessful weapon. II they are convinced
the United States will prove failure,
then they are prepared 10 continue the
submarine campaign. in the expectation
of defeating the Allies in year ana

worth without supporting 1t IN any

Equally as interesting as the Pope's
proposals is the action of labor, which
has reaffirmed the Stockholm decision

derson's speech did not force the orig
inal decision. The pacifists and oppo-

For 9 Billions
More in Bonds
He Says Additional Funds
Must Be Voted at
This Session
From The Tribune Bureau


WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Approxi-
mately s9,0o0,OOO,0oO more Of bonds
must be authorized by Congress be-
fore it adjourns, Secretary McAdoo in
formed Chairman Kitchin of the House
Ways and Means Committee at con-
ference at the Secretary's Office to-day
Four billions of this is for additional
loans TO the Allies, supplementing the
three billions already authorized.
Five billions is for the estimated ex-
penditures OF the United States gov
ernment for war purposes, in addition
to the two billions of bonds already
provided for that purpose, and the
funds TO be raised by the revenue bill
now in the Senate.
Mr.. McAdoo expressed the opinion
that the revenue bill should be in
creased to raise at least $4,000, 100000
3 year, instead of two billions.
Kitchin Alarms Colleagues
On his return to the Capitol Mr..
Kitchin alarmed his colleagues by his
pessimistic talk about governmental
expenditures. Mere chicken feed" he
said, with a wave Of the hand. in dis
cussing appropriations already made
and even those already in sight.
Mr.. Kitchin said the revenue bill
would probably not be increased as
much as desired by Secretary McAdOo.
though he expected it would be in
creased by the Senate Finance Com
mittee between four and five hundred
millions over the amount 1t is now es-
timated at. Such an increase would
make the bill raise in the neighbor-
hood of S2.5OO. .O00, 900. Mr.. Kitchin
fayorS raising this additional amount
by increasing the income and war
profits taxes.
Plans Soon Under Way
Within an hour after the Secretary
had conferred with Representative
Kitehin plans were under way for
raising the money. meeting Of the
Ways and Means Committee was called
for August 2j, and arrangements made
for the House. now taking a three-dsy
recess. TO resume it's regular meetings
on August q and expedite financial
legislation.
Announcement that authorization Of
a new bond issue TO meet an Allied
loan was desired came as surprise
20 most Of the Congressional leaders.
They thought the conference the Sec
retary sought with Mr. Ktchin was
for the purpose Of discussing raising
possibly an additional 81 900 900 or
81, 600, 900, 900 FOR emergency domestic
needs. They planned 10 authorize il.

Fighting 69th to Go to France
Under Major Gen. w. A. Mann
Famous New York Regiment Among the Picked
Militia Units Which Will Be Sent Abroad for
Training in New Division

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Eight
ing 69th" New York regiment, now to be
known as the 165th Infantry, was des-
ignated to-day as part Of a composite
army division to be formed at once and
TO be known as the AID Division. II will
go to France soon under William A..
Mann, now chief of the Bureau OF Mi
litia Affairs in the War Department,
but who was nominated to-day to be a
major general in the National Army.
High Tribute to Regiment
The transfer of the seth from the
New York State division TO the new
division under General Mann is high
tribute to the regiment The +2d Di-
vision is the War Departments pick OF
the militia of the country, as the or
ganization best adapted for speedy SER
vice in France. 1t is understood that
the War Department believes this par
ticular division will need practically
no training on this side before being
sent to Europe, where, of course, the
same intensive training will be given
which is necessary even for picked reg
ulars, as instsnced by the Pershing ex-
petition.
President Wilson yesterday sent TO
the Senate the nominations of two hun
dred general officers for the new Ma
tional Army.

Impetus to Pacifist Efforts
London Catholics Feel Disappointment at Position OF Holy
See on Alsace-Many Think the Step lmpor-

By ARTHUR S. DRAPER

nents Of Lloyd George consider the
Stockholm conference of secondary i'm
portance. They say that now Labor
has expressed its feelings, the govern
ment must decide for or against issu
ing passports, and upon that decision
will rest the fate of the government.
One of the Russian delegates who is
here told me to-day that the present
Russian government is more socialistic
than the last, that the two cadet mem
bers are anti-imperialists, that Keren-
sky has not changed his opinions and
that the Russians are confident they
! can make a strong defensive fight on
their own territory. From another
source ! hear unfavorable reports of
Russia. The government has been
forced TO reinstate the soldiers com
mittees and General Korniloff has been
forced into many concessions, and the
economic situation has grown extreme
ly bad.
Though the Russian outlook is un-
favorable, it is we'll TO remember that
the internal situation in Germany is
steadily growing worse. The capital
lets, liberals and agrarian junkers are
bringing increased pressure TO bear on
the government. Financially, Germany
is like a man with strong muscles and
a weak heart. For years Germany has
run a peace deficit When the war is
over the Germans will have an unse-
cured charge for interest Of between
one and one and half billions annual
ly. The mark having fallen to almost
half of it's normal value will be a vital
factor in the foreign trade after the
war.
To meet this deficit the executive
must heap on direct taxation. II any
attempt is made to escape the obnoX-
ious imposts upon land and wealth by
currency devices the prices of commodi-
ties are bound 10 increase. The mere
fact that the German debts are owned
internally will not help II the country
has to gpudiate them for that would
wreck her banks.
There are indications that Germany
is preparing another sideshow at Bag
dad. To the small German investors
the Bagdad railway is what the Panama
venture was to the French, and Berlin
is now trying to justify them. AS the
debt mounts the gloomy financial out
look worries Germany's capitalists as
much as privations unnerve the poorer
classes.

ment is not so serious for land power
such as Germany.
The Allies may reply in some general
idealistic statement, pointing out the
peril to the earth of settlement so
favorable to Germany as the one now
proposed. All Of these individual rea-
sons for fighting on may De effectively
consolidated That is the task before
Allied diplomacy in the coming days
and weeks. Meanwhile inevitably this
move for peace encourages the belief
that Germany needs peace badly. much
worse than she did when the last pro-
posals were made That consideration
and its psychological effect upon the
warning peoples may be taken into ac-
count by the Allied diplomats as they
frame their replies.
