London, July 26.-Germany's dream of world conouest has been shattered and the belief among all classes there now is that the war must end through diplomacy rather than by brilliant victory, according to German prison CTS in England.
 A representative of the Associated Press who has just returned here af- ter a visit to the large internment camp in Dorchester, where approxi- mately 1900 German prisoners are ouartered, is enabled to present many interesting side lights on the German viewpoint as represented by men of all types who have fought with the German forces on land and sea and in the air. These may be summarized as follows:
 Germany having held out so far, she is prepared to hold out to the end.
 The economic situation in Germany is not as bad as it has been repre- sented either by the belhgerent or the neutral press.
 ible shortage of materials actually needed for the prosecution of the war Americas entry to the war will pro- long rather than shorten it. The United States being essentially d commercial nation, she cannot make her great man power felt soon enough to change the course of events The submarines are doing all that was expected of them.
 There is surprising lack of con cern manifested by the prisoners be- cause of the United States being ar- rayed against their country. The cor lrespondent was allowed to mingle with them freely ,at times without any of the British officers being pres- ent. A young German airman who was brought down recently off Dover
 and who exhibited an iron cross which
 he said he had won for many daring feats over the Anglo-French lines.
 seemed to express the view of the
 more intelligent class of prisoners by
 asserting that there had been so many
 declarations of war against Germany
 when the United States came inS that
 any more did not matter. Asked whether it would surprise the German
 people if the United States should ac- tually place 100000 men in France within year. the airman smiled as one amused and replied: T would like to see them there first''
 I A tall, disting glished looking fellow
 who has been a prisoner of war since Ithe battle of the Marne, and who said The was formerly a lawyer in Bavaria

 man people a more democratic form of government. He doubted, however

GERMANY GAN HOLD OUT, BUT NOT WIN WAR ON BATTLE FIELDS; PEACE
 MUST COME THROUGH DIPLOMACY

any attempt to remove tne emperor would succeed. Germany, he said, was so accustomed to an impe- rial head that he did not think it would be advisable for her to follow Russia's example. Others, including a former chemist, a government offi- cial from West Africa and a young man who said he had been a profess sor of English in a German univer- sity, laughed heartily when the thought was suggested to them.
 Three Prussian youths who were taken prisoners by the British in the recent Messines push were believed to have represented the attitude of the peasant classes when they asserted that they did not even know the Uni- ted States had entered the war. They were each 20 years of age and had been called to the colors year ago, much against their will, they added. They had received nine months training prior to being sent to the front.
 The remarkable training of the Ger mans Is shown in the discipline main tained at the Dorchester prison camp Although more than 10000 prisoners have been interned there since the war starteS, only two have attempted to escape. Almost without exception the Germans say they are contented with their surroundings and are well | treated.
 The Germans do their own washing and cooking, Their rations consist of
 13 ounces of bread daily, six ounces of meat five days in the week, three- quarters of an ounce of coffee daily,
 one ounce of sugar daily, two ounces
 of turnips daily, two ounces of beans
 or peas daily, two ounces of oatmeal
 daily, one ounce of Jam daily, two ounces of cheese daily, 10 ounces of fish two days in the week, four ounces of rice daily, and meal, pepper and
 salt. There is a slight reduction oi
 bread, cheese and meal in the ration of those who do no work.
 l Except for their confinement the German war prisoners are not much differently situated than any ordinary lparty of campers. Perhaps the one thing which impresses an American most is the spirit of sympathy which seems to exist between the British officials and their German charges. and which is shown not so much in theil military salutations as by the care the
 one has taken not to contribute any
 more than is necessary to the discom.
 fort of the other. while the prisoner
 himself smilingly accepts his lot as one Infinitely better than that ct his for.

POLISHERS ARE
 NEAR END OF
 2 WEEKS STRIKE
Federal Labor Concilliator Confers With Arms Of
 ficials Today.

Conferences indicating the settle ment of the strike affecting 800 pol ishers of the Remington Arms com pany are under way this afternoon, the conferees being Federal Concilia- tor McWade representing United States Department of Labor and Messrs. Pinney, Hopkins. Ryan and Holland and the Rem-Arms manage ment.
 It is expected that terms will be reached agreeable to the men and the factory heads and that the workers will be back at their lathes within few days.
 The polishers have insisted that the women be paid the some rate as the men: that the eight hour day agree ment made with the company and the union some time ago be adhered to with regard to night as we'll as day forces and lastly that only union workmen be employed. This win mean that discharge of few work men who, have not been on strike. The Polishers had a meeting this morning at Eagles hall and the com- mittee in charge of the strike re- ported that Conciliator McWade was then in conference with the factory officials and that nothing could be announced until the com Ierence enQ- ed. There was evident an air of optim- ism and the belief was general that the strike end is in sight after two weeks.
 Another meeting will be held at Eagles hall tomorrow morning. It is understood that the committee has notified the Eagles that the hall will not be required for meeings after this week and this is taken to indicate an expected settlement of the strike. A meeting of all the machinists in Bridgeport will be held in Machinists' | hall tomorrow night, to set a time for ! general demand upon all factories l in this city for the minimum scale of
 union wage. Under this scale tool
 makers are to receive not less than
 60 cents an hour, machinists 50 cents automatic machine workers AS cents
 specialist 43 cents and helpers ss cents.

PLANS MADE FOR
LONG STRUGGLE
Estimates of Baker Will Cover Until
Middle of 1919.

Estimates soon to be submitted by
Secretary Baker will cover wal
costs to the middle of 1919. The
close of that year represents the
earliest estimate of high army and
navy officers as to the end of the
war and many are skeptical of a
conclusion by that time. The wal
cost program is continuous and
shaped so the struggle can be fl
nanced indefinitely. Men who have
foreseen decision by the winter of
1918 now say frankly that the Rus
sian and Italian problems-chiefly
the Russian-make it appear impos-
sible for any victory before 1919.
The outstanding thoughts in inter-
views obtained We're:
First-Germany is likely to make
a new peace move soon, perhaps Sc
cretly, instead of with the usual fan
fare.
Second-A strictly military deci-
sion is next to impossible under the
present war system on the west
front, unless the nayies take dar-
ing hand against Heligoland, Will
helmshaven or Zeebrugge.
Third-Russia is fully as likely to
drop out of the struggle completely
as she is to recuperate.
Fourth-The Italian situation as
is now shapes up does not affect the
general military situation critically.
Fifth-Because of recent victor
les, Germany would like to conclude
peace, especially as Austria is
practically "down and out" The Ital-
ian offensive is designated to revive
Austria's morale.
Special emphasis was laid on
need for naval cooperation.
1--WE might as well go on with our
plans just as tho we were in for 20
years of it," said one official. "a
war within Germany seems slow in
coming"
