THE QUESTION OF PEACE
By Frank H. Simmonds tCOutinued From YeSterdayO

To The Tribune the fact seems perfectly clear. One of two things must happen. Either the war must go on to a military decision be- main faithful to the gospel of force cause the German people still re- and the doctrine of barbariSm, or the German people must of them selves renounce the doctrine and dtspOssess those who have applied the doctrine all over the world.
 If there must be a fight to a military decision, then there is no need of discussion. All discussion is, in fact, hopeless if the Germans are still of the mind that was writ ten iu Louvain and the Lusitania, expressed in Zeppelin raids and submarine killings, and to talk about peace with Germany is like discuss ing relations of amity with a man. eating tiger whose jaws are still stained with fresh blood.
 But if Germany is to free her self from this doctrine and the pol measure of her own freedom must icy, it remains patent that the be her recognition of the duty of repairing the injuries she has done, so far as they can be repaired. Above all, f a new born Germany democracy is to supersede an over turned autocracy, we can only re- cognize its character when it pre- sents as its peace proposal a pro gramme which carries with 1t as Q first article the indemnificaton of Belgium.
 When Germany attacked Belgium she visibly and unmistakably left the ranks of civilized nations. The issue of Belgium is between the German people and the whole world. Until Germany meets the Belgian issue squarely there can be no crossing the gulf that divides the German people from the rest of mankind, because with a nation and with a people that can permanently justify this crime, the rest of man kind can have no relations, save across the firing line. To use MT. Wilson's rather vague phrase in specific application, the world will not be safe for democracy as long as any nation, with weapons in its hands, is able to justly and in- Horse the Belgian iniquity.
 The gulf dividing reparation from reprisal is very wide. There will be no attempt to visit against a Ger many herself escaped from the lead ing-strings of those who dictated her policies in recent years reprisals of the sort that Germany planned to visit upon her foes and did, so far as she was able,visit upon Bel gium and France. But if the Ger man attack upon Belgium stands without reparation, if it is not paid for to the utternost brick and

DRAFT TO HIT
CITY HARDEST
Senator Calder Says Aliens
Here Mean Calling Most
Americans.

WASHINGTON, June 1,-Compliance
with the terms OF the selective conscrip-
tion law will work a hardship on Amer
lean citizens OF military age who dwell
in those areas of New York city where
there is heavy concentration OF alien
residents.
According to Senator Calder in some
communities there are nearly three times
the number of aliens as there are
citizens, whether native born or natural
ized, so that in these districts prac-
tically every American citizen OF mill
tary age will be conscrpted. In other
districts not only of New York city
there is practically no alien population
and in such districts the proportion of
citizens conscripted would be materially
smaller.
The occasion for this state of affairs
is that the conscription law provides
that the quota to he raised in every
part of the Union shall be determined
by population rather than by the num-
Der OF actual citizens therein.
Senator Calder in directing the atten-
ton of the War Department to the con-
ditions prevailing in Manhattan, Brook
lyn and The Bronx suggested that sup
Elemental legislation be prepared to pro-
vide against the evident injustice of the
rigid observance OF the exact terms of
the new statute.
The following list shows the excesses
OF the present conscrption registration
over the election registration which
preceded the 1915 elections, thereby re-
vealing the large proportion OF aliens.

REED BLOCKS SHIPMENTS BILL.
Holds Tn Final Vote In senate
Planned for To-day.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Enorts of
majority leaders to curtail debate on The
Administration priority shipments bill
and obtain agreement for a final vote to-
morrow were blocked in the Senate to-
day by Senator Reed. The Missouri
Senator declared the bill deserved the
most serious consideration and an
nounced that because OF the failure OF
majority of Senators to remain in the
chamber he intended calling for a
quorum at frequent intervals. He forced
quorum call three times during the
afternoon.
The proposal TO give the President
authority to direct priority in railroad
shipments was attacked as dangerous to
a liberty loving people by Senator Hard
wick. who argued that the authorization
should be limited to munitions and other
supplies for the military and naval
forces. Senators Cummins and Kellogg
defended the measure.

NAVY SITE WINS
BY WILSON'S AID
House Has Adopted 50. 100000
Amendment for James
town Purchase.

WASHINGTON. June 12.-Presdent
Wilson assumed personal responsibility
to-day for the proposed purchase or a
naval training station and operating
base on the site OF the old Jamestown
exposition on Hampton Roads. Va.
Following the reading Of a personal
letter to Chairman Padgett OF the Naval
Affairs Committee. In which the Presi-
dent urged the immediate necessity of
such a base. the House adopted sub
stitute for the Senate amendment to
the $4,000, 100000 war emergency bill
authorizing the President to take over
immediate possession of the proposed
site, fix a reasonable pyice. and in the
event that such price Is unsatisfactory
to the present owners to pay such own
ers IS per cent. OF the price so fixed
and permit them 10 sue the United
States for the remainder. This amend
ment was first considered unanimously
by the Naval Affairs Committee. The
letter from President Wilson to Chair
man Padgett reads:
~ understand that the House will to-
day be considering the proposition of
the establishment OF a naval base. and
take the liberty OF avsiling myself of
this opportunity to ask you to say TO the
House how essential il seems to me that
a naval base and training station should
be established. and established at the
earliest possible date. at Hampton
Roads.
II have considered this matter from
a great many points of view. and ann
more and more impressed with the inn
mediate necessity OF such training
station. II II cannot be had. and had
promptly. the most serious embarrass-
ments will ensue. ! sincerely hope that
1t will be the wish OF the House TO take
the necessary steps for its establish
ment."
The substitute adopted by the House
in addition to authorizing the expendi-
ture OF s1,600.000 in equipment and i'm
provements. appropriates $1.200.000 70,
the purchase OF the site in the event
that the President determines TO spend
that much. However, IL the President
determines that the original price o
81. 400. 900 is reasonable the amendment
authorizes him to expend that amount oil
any excess he may deem fair.

of the battlefield about st. Eloi,
where bitter fighting went on q
year ago around a series Of mine

craters to-day and could find only
two of them. The three others
vanished in the mine explosion in

The crater at Wytschaete is
about 20 feet deep and 800 feet
across, the one at st. Eloi seems
hardly as big, perhaps go feet
deep and 270 feet across. The
two mine craters which remain
are so small beside this huge pit
that they look almost like she'll
