GERMANY IS WILLING
TO YIELD IN WEST If
LET ALONE IN EAST
Would II Is Claimed Make
Large Concessions To Get
Free Hand With Slays
By Ed L. Keen
Omitted Press staff correspondent)

NCHlteu L ItSS StalI Correspondent
London, Mar. 1S.-Germany has sub.
stituted its most subtle peace drive
for its long prepared western offens-
i've.
The results of this move depend on
the ability of allied statesmanship to
show the German people that the war
is lost-and will merely be repea ted
if the allies are induced to trade their
advantage in the west for Germany s
obvious advantage in the cast and
make peace on these German terms.
There is every indication that the
recent German peace feelers soon will
assume tangible form including not
only complete restoration and repara-
ton for Belgium and France, but o
compromise on the disposition of Al.
SAGE and Lorraine, besides an adrois
offer to assume liability for the big
French loans to Russia which the Bol-
sheviki epudiated-provided Germany
Is given free hand in the east.
THE messages Of President Wilson
and other Americans to the Russian
pan-sOviet congress at Moscow are re-
garded as of unusual timeliness. Their
purpose is interpreted as not only to
stimulate russia, Dul 10 oDtatn the aF-
proval Of the world s demoeracies OF
the American policy Of no peace at
Russia 5 expense.
An interesting development is the
fact that many responsible British la
borites, hitherto elassed as paeifists,
are outspoken in their denuneiation Of
such a peace, considering il not Only
dishonorable but calculated to strength
en- Prus5ian militarism for more for
midable onslaught against western de-
mocraey 2 few years later.
The greatest interest is displayed in

CAMPAIGN FOR SALE
. OF THRIFT STAMPS TO
START TONORROW "
About $4,000 Worth Sold
viii lake $4,000 a Day
for Balance Of Year

Final preparations for the Thrift
Stamp campaign, which starts in Mar
ion county tomorrow, will be made at a
meeting of the county committee at
the Commercial club - 1880 this even
ing. At this time the details will again
be explained TO the workers, and every
thing arranged for starting with a rush
tomorrow.
The committee headed by w. NJ. Ham
ilton held a meeting at the Lincoln
school yesterday and secured day IS
advantage over the other workers. This
committee is in charge Of the work in
districts 25 to 20, and is composed Of
Mrs. +. n. Derby, Mrs. C. Davis, Mrs.
Anna Acheson, Mrs. ;-;sie Hensley, Mrs.
G. I. Mcintyre, Mrs. j. r. Pollock, Mrs.
DR.. Fairehild, Mrs. George Viesko, Mrs.
w. M. Hamilton and Mrs. E. S. Seley.
The work in the county is in charge
Of School Superintendent w. NJ. Smith,
and he expects that the result Of the
drive viii be all that could be asked.
The sale Of stamps has been averaging
about $4,000 per day for some days, and
it is hoped that after the educational
work to be done by the workers, that
this will be materially increased.
Marion county now has sold close to
$4,000 worth Of thrift stamps, and this
is less than 10 per cent Of the county 8
quota Of 1912, 900. As there are but hme
months remaining to raise the money, it
is apparent that much work viii have
to be done.
The local workers have no idea Of
how much they can accomplish in the
sale Of stamps, but expect to turn in
several thousand dollars.

tions for taking over Dutch tonnage
at noon today, win probably hold up
the seizures until tomorrow, it was of
ficially stated at 1880 o'clock.
While the shipping BOARD stated ear
ly today that the navy would take over
the ships at noon, the navy said it
was standing by and had had no orders
to put its naval reserve men On today
At about the same time, the state
department Indicated Holland had not
signed the proposed agreement, but
added she had never entirely opposed
the use of her vessels in the war zona.
The department. claims to have no
reply from Holland and it appeared
shat the delay in requisitioning was to
ALLOW an opportunity to Holland to
make q last minute argument on the
subject.
The formal requisitioning will be
done by the navy department, which
will put naval reserves aboard the
craft, take off the present personnel
and then turn the vessels over to the
shipping Dodfu.
The board let these facts be known
today, adding that the naval reserve
forces would probably remain in charge
OF the vessels for the present

Seven hundred thousand tons of this
shipping are in American ports.
Under present arrangements, the
Dutch will get portion of the ship
ping and a liberal supply of American
food.
Germany is threatening retaliations
against Holland, saying she viii no
longer keep the Dutch shipping lane
open and that she will submarine the
food ships.
Addition Of the shipping will be a
considerable help, especially as now
America is straining her resources to
the utmost in order to speed up troop
shipments abroad Her work to date is
meeting with success and hence every
added ship is Of material aid
The Dutch problem offers delicate
possibilities, in view of Holland s sit
ratio1f between q" the devil and the
deep sea. She wants to remain neu
tral, for she realizes that with either
cid penetrating her territory, the lit
tie nation win soon become a sham
bles such as Belgium was.
And while the Holland situation IS
difficult, the northern European neu
trails are on edge. Sweden particularly

SIGNAL CORPS FAILS

PERSHINC HAS none
Inexcusable Delay Makes
American Army Dependent
On French Fiers

Washington, Mar. 18-General Per
shing is understood to be far from pleas
ed with the results so far obtained by
the signal corps in its airplane program
There are virtually no American air
planes over our front in France, pro-
tecting the Sammies from the observa-
tion of boche flyers. For our protection,
the expeditionaTy force depends to a
great extent on the French flyers, al
though a number of American aviators
have been in the air in French machines.
General Pershing has been promised
several hundred machines by April /,
but thus far only an insignificant
!" handful have been delivered. Appar-
emily not many more will be shipped
abroad before the end of the month.
This information came from an author
itative source at the war department
today.
As a result of the delays by the sig
nal corps, that branch OF the service
has succeeded the ordnance bureau as
an object of attack and investigation.
The aeroplane problem is being investi
gated from several sources.
The president has commission head
ed by II. Snowden Marshall; Chairman
Howard E. Coffin of the aircraft board
is probing delays; GutzoD Borglum,
sculptor, has made a preliminary probe,
with Secretary Baker s sec
tion; and besides the .==rocsor general s
is also digging into the sig
nal corps.
And congress has been inclined to be
critical of the vast sums spent IN aero
plane construction, especially as the re-
suits have been more closely shielded by
censorship and official secrecy than any
ether phase Of war work.
