But President Wilson also tried for
peace. So we waited. We thought he

Presidents peace move delayed the IN
evitable little"
II is now generally accepted in
Washington that the Interpretation
which The Tribune's editorials and ITS
news dispatches have placed upon the
Presidents peace maneuvres since De-
cember Is have been entirely correct
All of Mr.. Wilson's peace moves have
been based on the forlorn hope that
he could. by reinforcing the German
demand for peace, stave OIL the evil
day when this country must break with
Germany.
The information that Germany had
i'm readiness a tremendous new fleet
of submarines has been in the hands
of the American State Department for
three months. II has been known for
certainty here that as soon as the
weather permitted Germany would
launch a big sea campaign against
Britain.
One Official Foresaw Menace
There was at least one prominent
official in the American State Depart
ment who did not hesitate to say openly
that the German government certainly
would violate the pledges which were
made in the Sussex exchange of notes.
All the time during the last two
months that Ambassador Won Bern
storff has been protesting almost daily
that never again would the submarine
issue rise between this government
and Germany. at least one American
official had concluded and stated his
conclusions that this crisis was coming.
The German peace offer was recog-
nized for exactly what it was, sort of
effort on the part of the Kaiser and
his advisers to wash their hands OF
responsibility for the frightfulness and
ruthless murders on which they had
determined, as last desperate re-
course.
President Wilson knew that a Ger
man-made peace would not be accept
able TO the Allies but apparently he
considered it worth while to put off
the evil day as far as possible and
perhaps convince Germany that in this
government she had sincere supporter
in her peace drive.
The utterances of Ambassador Gerard
recently in Berlin, when he so strongly
played up TO the men in the govern
ment who were for moderation, prob
ably were made upon instruction from
Washington. He complimented the
Hollweg government for its success IN
restraining the submarine commanders.
Gerard during his recent two months
visit home received careful instruc-
tions for the effort to bride Germany
According TO Won Bernstorf. the ter
rorist admiral, Won Tirpi:z, has had
nothing TO do with the sudden change
in German policy. Won Tirpitz has no
more influence than an ordinary prl-
vate citizen. But a greater terrorist
than Won Tirpitz has arisen in Hin

SPANS Reply TO Wilson's Note In
creases Popularity Among BelIigerents
Paris, Feb. THE idea that King
Alfonso of Spain may at an opportune
moment play an important role in the
settlement of the European conflict is
gaining ground every day, says Havas
dispatch from Madrid, and has been
strengthened greatly by the reply Of
Spain to President Wilson's note. The
"lmpareial" says;
"The respect and sympathy which the
King has gained among all the bel
ligerents by his discreet reply to Pres-
dent Wilson's note are evident
Premier Romanones is quoted by "El
Mundo" as saying: 1.-THE government is
satisfied with what it has done and will
adhere TO the spirit of the note. That
document was drawn UP with the dou-
bic purpose of proclaiming anew our
absolute neutrality and of placing
Spain in an international situation such
as would permit her to intervene ef-
ficaciously in favor of peace at an OPP
perfume moment"

horrible and useless bloodshed.
THE Imperial government hopes all
the more for such an understanding of
her position, as the nehtrals have UNI

reasons for belle ing the time right Tor
action.
"Where has there been any change IN
the situation since last March," the
Chancellor asked. "In the frst place,
the most important fact OF all IS that
the number Of our submarines has been
very considerably increased as COM
pared with last spring, and thereby a
firm basis for success has been estao-
lishcd
"The second co-decisive reason Is the
bad cereal harvest of the world. This
fact ALREADY confronts England. France
and Italy with serious difficulties whicn
bv means of unrestricted U-boat war
fare will be brought to stae OIL IN
bearableness.
"The coal question. too. is vital
question in war. Already il is critical,
as you know, in Italy and France. Our
submarines will make it still more crit
ical.
Cargo Space Is Short
ITO this must be added. especially as
regards England, the supply OF ore Tor
the production of munitions, in the
widest sense, and of timber for coal
mines. The enemy's difficulties are
rendered still more acute by the in
creasing lack OF enemy cargo space;
In this respect time and U-boat and
cruiser warfare have prepared the
ground for the decisive blow.
"The Entente suffers owing 70 lack
of cargo space. The lack makes itseif
felt in Italy and France, no less than IN
England. II we may now venture 10
estimate the positive advantages or un-
restricted C-boat warfare at very
much higher value than last spring, the
dangers which arise for US from L
boat warfare have correspondlngly de-
creased since that time.
Forced to Fight
"On December u | explained to the
Reichstag the reasons which led to our
peace offer" he continued. "The reply
of our opponents clearly and precisely
said that they declined peace negotia-
tons with US. and wanted to hear only
of peace which they dictate. By this
the whole question Of guilt Tor the
continuation Of the war is decided. The
guilt falls alone on our opponents.
"Just as definite is our task. The
conditions of the enemy we cannot dis
cuss. They could only be accepted by a
totally defeated people. 1t therefore
means that we must fight.
president Wilson's message 20 Con-
gress shows sincere wish TO restore
peace to the world. Many of his max
inns agree with our aims, namely, free
dom of the seas, adjustment of the
system Of balance of power, which al
ways is bound to lead 20 new difficult
ties, equal rights of all nations, and an
open door.
"But what are the peace conditions
of the Entente? Gcrmany's defensive
force TO be destroyed; we TO lose Al
sace-Lorrainc and our Eastern prov
inces: the Danube monarchy to be dis
solved; Bulgaria again to be cheated
of her national unity, and Turkey TO be
pushed out of Europe and smashed in
Asia. The destructive designs of our
opponents cannot be expressed moro
strongly

Defends Previous Stand

Referring back to his previous posi-
ton on submarine warfare, the Chan
cellor said:
THE question Of U-boat warfare, as
members of the Rcichstag will remem-
Der, has occupied US three times in this
committee namely, in March, May and
September of last year. On each occa-
sion in an exhaustive statement ! eN-
pounded the points for and against IN
this question.
81 emphasized on each occasion that
] was speaking pro temporc and not as
"A supporter in principle or opponent in
principle of the unrestricted employ
ment of U-boats, but in consideration
Of the military, political and economic
situation as whole.
II have always proceeded from the
standpoint whether Uboat warfare
would bring us nearer victorious peace
or not"
Consider New Measures
The Chancellor was followed by the
Secretary of State for the Admiralty,
who spoke of the situation from the
technical military and naval viewpoint.
Detailed statistical data in regard 10
the enocomic position of the world was
supplied by the Secretary of the In
terror, and Foreign Secretary thinner
man replied to several special ques-
tlons.
After the ministers had spoken. the
committee went into secret session, at
which speeches were made by repre-
scntativcs of the Centrist, National
Liberal and Progressive parties, the
entire war situation was gone over, and
new steps planned by the Central Pow
ers were considered.

GERMANY SECURES FAT

Government Will Be Asked to
Supply Only Needs Of
Those Countries.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Evidence
that Germany is obtaining vast
amounts of food from European neu-
tral countries has been presented to
the United States by Great Britain for
the governments guidance in deter
mining an export control policy. Much
of this, the British statistics purport
to show, is replaced by the neutrals
with imports from America.
From Scandinavia and Holland the
British information sets forth enough
fat is going into Germany TO supply
100000 soldiers, virtually the Sntire
army of effectives in the empire.
German authorities are said to be
using coercion. exchanging for food
stuffs bought in the neutral countries.
coal and other commodities necessary
for maintenance of the neutral indus
tries. To some extent these coercions
have been recognized by the British
in operation of their blockade, but
with the entry of America into the
war the British believe an arrange
ment can be made for supplying the
neutrals with the most of their nee
essary Requirements from the allied
countries.
Fat, ii is claimed. Is the only food
seriously lacking now in the diet OF
the German people. Imports of this
food, the British declare, furnish one
fourth of the daily German fat ration
