On the heels of the Kaiser's plea
to his munitlon workers to be
steady a little longer, the Vice
Chancellor's speech at Stuttgart,
comes the first move in the ex-
pected peace offensive. Despite
their tone. both are confession
that they see Germany's doom at
hand and hope to avert complete
defeat by successive notifications
of her peace terms. But it is not
likely that the allies can be per-
suaded to consider any conditions
at all which Germany may pro-
propose, and they will dictate the
only terms which Germany must
accept, as no others will be con-
sidered.

Point O'Woods, N Y, July 19.- Survivors of the t. $. cruiser San Diego, sunk ten iles off Fire Island, shortly before noon today, declared tonight that many members of the en- zine room crew must have been killed by the explosion which wrecked the warship. They were uncertain whether the vessel was sunk from a torpedo from a submarine, OF by Q mine The cruiser remained afloat thirty minutes after she was struck
 The torpedo. or mine, struck the ship just aft of amidships, blowing up the boilers. ne of the sailors declares ;he guns of the cruiser were fired at what appeared to be q periscope. The survivors who landed here. mum pefea les. including six officers. The captain and first officer of the San Diego were the last to leave the sinking cruiser
 Heavy explosions heard here late to- day weer believed to indicate that some patrol boats which dashed to the aid of the cruiser had met German submarine and were giving battle. The explosions continued until after eighf o'clock tonight and mariners iiving

here declared they sounded as it depth bombs were being droppeG
 Several barre1s Of crude oil, one o them badly charred, floated ashore near here and this was believed tl indicate the possibility that tank steamship also has been suEn.
 An hour before the San Diego was struck a barrel floating through the water so fast it was believed IL might conceal 3 periscope, was sight cd Gy the lookout and a double watch was posted
 According to the survivors there was no excitement after the explo- sion. The men were piped to their battle stations and by their coolnes5 and courage maintained the tradi- tions of the navy. All were supplied with life belts and the ships boats were launched without mishap.
 Many of the men leaped into the water when the decks were almost awash and were picked up by life boats or by the wireless calls which summoned ships for help. which soon arrived and gave help in the work of rescue.
 Several of the boats put ashore at Fire Island
 The gunners stood by until the last in. the belief that they might get $ shot at the submarine, if it was a torpedo which had struck the cruiser
 They lcaped overboard just before the San Diego sank beneath the waves
 The survivors who landed here perc given food and dry clothing after which they walked a mile across the beach to Great south Bay. where they were placed in power boats and taken to West Sayville
 The sailors told of the heroic death of a quartermaster who had been or dered to stand on the bridge while the men were being sent to the boats. He remained at his post, the sailors said, until it was too late to save himself or be saved Just as the San Diego sank. they said. the quar- termaster turned until he faced the shore, where hundreds of his com rades were floating about in boats and calmly saluted. Then he went down with his shi,
 several squadrons of aeroplanes and dirigfble were seen to put out to sea soon after word was received that the San Diego had been hit. Late tonight one of the planes in q crippled condition was seen in tow of a patrol boat in the Great South Bay. No information was obtain able as to how it met it's mishaps
 The colOrs of the San Diego were rescued by one of the sailors who .anded here The flag had been lashed to d bit of driftwod and was being held sloft in the boat when ie came ashore The jackie who saved ihe ensign climbed up the mast to gel 1t and then dove into the water
