more. We cannot afford to. give the
impression that we are chasing after
peace at all costs. After the entente
allies have put out this highly ambi-
ueus programme, an announcement of
the firm and moderate German terms
or peace would by contrast probably be
interpreted by our adversaries as an
indication of weakness and would be
used by them to encourage their peo-
pie to fight on. Our people would not
understand any further effort by us
for the introduction of peace after
the entente's declaration. We have
to consider public opinion here
s DR.. Zimmerman said he could obvi-
.ousfy see the advantages from one
point Of view in declaring Germany's
terms ard letting the world see. by
contrast with those to which the en-
tente powers have committed them
selves, the real state of affairs, but
seemed to be convinced that such ad-
vaHtages were not sufficient to affect
the attitude Of the entente powers or
to outweigh the effect on opinion in
enemy countries of the announcements
of the terms regarding Belgium and
the others in this war.
To the question as to whether he saw
the possibility OF Germany's making
such q declaration Of her intentions,
should a. further inquiry be made from
the neutral side, for example, by
president Wilson, the minister replied
'But viii he make such an inquiry,
after the entente reply. which in its
nature, is, shall we say insulting ?''
DO you think that after an inter-
val there will be any possibility of an
offer of mediation for peace being ac-
cepted by both sides % the minister
was asked.
"Yes," he replied THE desire for
peace of all the peoples-peoples, mind
you, say, not governnents-is so
strong that after the entente has had
another try with new offensive; aft
er it has seen the fruitlessness of all
the endeavors to crush the military
strength Of the central powers, there
may be a better possibility of nego-
tiating a satisfactory and reasonable
peace.

Gerard Was Given Hint to Sign Reaffirming of Treaties or
 Trouble Start.
IS INITIATED
Gerard Said Sandbagging Tactics Would Not Go with Hin Nor Any
 Correspondent.

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 12.-United States Ambassador Gerard's refusal to sign the protocol reafirming trea- ties with the United States after he had ceased to perform his AmbaS- sadOrial functions or to telegraph for instructions unless he was per mitted to use code, has led Count Mongelas to hint that a refusal to sign the protocol might materially affect the status of Americans in Germany and their privileges of de- parture.
 The Count mentioned specifically the cases of the American cores pondents whom Gerard desired to take out with him and whose fate was apparently thought to carry particular weight in the American public opinion.
 This intimation of a rupture m the diplomatic relations if not of war itself and the use of the news. paper representatives as a supposed ly important piece upon the dip. lomatic chess board caused Gerard to declare roundly that he could not be party to "anny such pressure" l" and that he doubted whether any men could be sandbagged or influenced in any way by con. alterations of personal safety or con- venience, and that he must persist in his earlier expressed standpoint regarding these negotiations. From that point nothing further was heard of the protocol or of the possibility of detaining Americans.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. - Ger. many's delay in permitting United States Ambassador Gerard and other American officials to leave the coun. try has aroused the deepest resent ment here especially in view of the steps made to arrange all possible conveniences for homeward trip of German officials in the United states.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. - The government officials today are in clincd to regard the latest offer of Germany to discuss means of pre- venting was as presented through the Swiss Minister, only an effort to east on the United States the ap- pearance of being a bclligerent.
 The official attitude seemed to be shat the United States and the German government can have no dip Iomatic dealings until Germany gives up her program of unrestricted sub marine warfare and that any other advances meanwhile serve only to becloud the issue of American rights. It is not certain whether any an- swer will be made to the latest sug- gestion.
