WILL
ELUCIDATE HIS
AIMS IN WAR
New German Offer Expect
ed to Come Through
Sweden.

The President may, within a few
days, elucidate those portions of his
war aims speech which have become
the subject of debate 1T home and
abroad. His statemen: is expected to
reveal the speech as one of war
aims" and not of peace terms"
The renewal of the German peace
offensive Is expected promptly, prob
ably through Sweden, and probably in
an acceptance of some OF the Presi-
dents terms and a denial of others.
War to Go On.
Such tactics will avail Germany moth
ing. The war will go on until all the
Lloyd George-wilson terms are COM
piled with.
These statements we're made in high
official quarters yesterday. They fol-
lowed call at the White House by
Capt. Andre Tardieu, French High
Commissioner to the United States.
1t was insisted that the eall was a
purely formal one upon the return of
Capt Tardieu to his duties in Wash
ington.
1t was further stated that no French
man doubts for a moment that Presi-
dent Wilson has committed the United
Stste to the last man ana the last
dollar to the restoration of Alsace-
Lorraine to France.
French Interpretation.
There is no disposition in France
to question the strength Of the Presi-
dents stand on Alsace-Lorraine be-
cause of his use of the word "must''
with regard to Belgium and the word
should" with regard to France. As
the rape OF Belgium was an out-and-
Out-yiolation Of interna tiOnai law, the
term must" naturally applies TO its
correction.
1t is largely because of this un-
official, but apparently authorita-
tive comment on the Presidents
stand. that the complete failure of
further German peace offensiyes
are predicted. Foreign Minister
Pichon of France Is expected to in
dictate this solidarity Of the allies
anew in his speech to the deputies
today.
Germany Feeds sweden.
Grounds for BELIEF in the immin-
ence Of another German offer were
found last night in news from
sweden Germany has already
shipped into that very hungry conn
Try 10000 tons of potatoes and con-
siderable quantities Of sugar. She
has promised a shipment OF zoe. 600
tons of cereal grains.
Germany. it is believed, has de-
prived herself Of much needed items
IN her own meager store of foods
70 enect these shipments to Sweden.
Ii Is not believed she would do so
without definite political object
or without promises of an imme-
date return in kind from sweden.
promises which Sweden is not in a
position to make.

Count Jean Marie Perreard has
celebrated the fall OF the Bastile
for the last time.

had been a Washington landmark

He was IS years old. and
the end came after an illness
of a few weeks. His wife, ma
dame" almost as well known to
Washfngtonians as the count him
self, was with him when he died.
He had been i'll for five weeks.
Count Perreard's heart was brok-
en- the first of last November. Then
he knew that he could no longer
celebrate that sacred day of July
IA with his native Sayoyard art in
dispensing wine to his friends-the
day when, France overthrew the
Bourbons, when the revolutionaries
broke open the black prison of the
Bastile and made France free
Here Since go.
Ever since he came to Washing
ton in 1869 the count had made the
fall Of the Bastile count for much
in picturesque conviviality when
July IA rolled around. 1t was open
house wherever he was-whether at
his original dramshop at Four
teenth street and the Avenue, on Z
street or on Thirteenth street,
where he spent the last seven years
of his life, it was the same.
In the halcyon days, Count Per-
reard's vividly colored French cafe
was. the rendezvous OF Washing
tons celebrities. and his death last
night caused a flood of reminis-
cences from those who knew him
in his prime-in the days when he
seemed to have stepped right" out
of the pages of Dumas, or Francois
Villon. or a French opera comique.
He struggled valiantly with the
English, or the American. language
for more than half a century, and
his French accent was the delight
of all who heard him.

However, ancient days are, after

get back to the thread Of our story.
Here is his obit: Count Perreard
was born at Fiegeres, Savoy, France,

Philippe, and came to Washington
in 1859. And from that day until
last night he had lived among us.
