PLEA FOR PEACE
TO BE MADE
Continued from Page IL

rumored at the time of the fist profrer
on December -.
Students Of German internal AFFAIRS
have maintained that Germany lirs.
peace proffer was induced by politlcai
expediency, rather than a sincere oe-
sire for stoppage of the war, unless
that stoppage came on Germany's own
terms. 1t was pointed out after the
first offer that Hollweg, by making II
and bv receiving the flat refusal that
he and other German leaders fully ex-
lpected when they put the plan INTO
operation had forced unity for war Oh
all political parties.
The situation in Germany then was
that the socialists wanted peace; the
Won Tirpitz advocates wanted unorid-
led submarine warfare; the conserVa-
tives fought submarine ruthlessness'
fearing ENHANCEMENT with neutrals-
including the United States.
Hollweg's proffer was made. wltnous
any terms by which the allies couid
Judge Gernany's sincerity. Because
of their dfstrust of such an offer anu
knowledge from unofficial hints that
Germany wanted the peace OF victor,
the allies rejected 1t.
The result according to authorities
on German conditions, was that the
ruthless submarine warfare was decd
ed upon. The Won Tirpitz advocates
were pleased; the anti-ruthless branch
and the socialists were quieted with
the plea that since Germany's enemies
insisted on further war, Germany must
use every weapon Of defense.
Following this same reasoning. 1t
was believed possible that now, with
the socialists fast growing in strength
and with many Germans holding the
forcing of America into the war,
mistake, the German leaders have de-
termined on another peace move with
exactly the same sort of a political
coup in view.1
MAY BE IMPORTANT MOVE.
WASHINGTON, May f.-s~ss
Minister Ritter, In charge OF German
interests in this country today made
an appointment to see President VIII
son at the white house at two O'Clock,
lust thirty minutes before the cab-
net goes Into its bi-weekiy session.
This forenoon neither the house or
Swiss legation In any way would dis
cuss the appointment.
No Official Comment.
WASHINGTON. May State de-
partment officials learned of the re-
ported forthcoming Hollweg peace Of
| fer without comment other than they
| had not received official word OF 1t.
The fact that Swiss Minister Ritter,
representing Germany here had an
appointment to see President Wilson
this afternoon, was thought by some
perhaps to be significant in this con-
nection, though a few days ago he
asked an appointment through the
state department on the plea that he
wanted to discuss the food situation
affecting Switzerland.
The United States has let it be
known that she Is in the war to a
finish. If Germany is merely making
politically strategic move, or pass
ing forth propaganda intended to in
fluence neutrals, her efforts will fail.

ernment for a long time. 1t was
made public without comment, she'd
ding light upon the methods of an
other Swedish diplomatic represent
ative in this hemisphere, at time
when the United States and her al
lies are awaiting with interest Swe-
den's explanation to Argentina Of
the conduct Of her minister at Beunos
Aires who transmitted the German
"sink without leaving a trace" dis
patches.
Baron Akerhielm, Swedish charge
here, said tonight in response to a
query that Cronholm was dismissed
from the diplomatic service last Jan
uary. He would not discuss the
cause, but there was no intimation
that it was in any connection with
Cronholm's relations with the Ger
mans.
Baron Akerheilm called at the
State Department. to inform Secre-
tary Lansing that he had received
from his government the statement
already given to the public at Stock
holm explaining that Sweden had for
warded dispatches from Beunos Aires
to Berlin in German code without
knowledge of their contents. It is
assumed that the Stockholm foreign
office will not address any commun-
ication to the American government
on the subject.
