EXCHANGE Of SHIPS

ROTTERDAM. May 10.--It is an
nounced here that the arrangements
with Germany for guaranteeing the
safety of ships to and from the United
States to carry grain for Holland hav-
ing been completed. the cargo steamers
Zyldyk. Hector and Delfand probably
will sail Saturday for America in ex-
change for the steamers Hollandia,
Java and Stella, bound here.
The announcement from Rotterdam
that the Dutch government will start
three ships to America Saturday in ex-
change for three vessels on this side
means that Holland finally has decided
to accept the American offer to expedite
grain to the Dutch population
When Dutch shipping was seized bv
the United States and Great Britain the
United States informed Holland that to
meet the immediate food needs of the
nation 1t would dispatch three vessels
grain laden II Holland in exchanre
would start three for the United States.
The demand that three ships start
from the other side was to prevent the
three set aside for the grain Shipments
from being held after their arrival on
the other side. 1t was feared Germany
might demand that they not return.
Seven ships loaded with phosphate
rock. oil. coffee and drugs are now on
their way to Sweden. 1t was announced
today. under the recent temporary
agreement by which the United States
will furnish supplies to Sweden in ex-
change for the use of 100000 tons of
Swedish shipping.

Prof. Heron Declines to Pre-
sent German "Offer"
to President.
REBUKES PROF. QUIDDE

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 1O.-A story of how an
attempted German peace offensive, di-
rected toward President Wilson, was
turned down ignominiously by Prof.
Heron, an American living in Geneva, is
told by the Swiss correspondent Of the
Daily Mail in his dispatch dated at An
nemasse, on the Franco-Swiss frontier.
Prof. Heron is described as a friend of
President Wilson.
The German government, according
to the correspondent. tried to get
peace offers sent to the President
through Prof. Heron. who was visited
on April 19 by Prof. Quidde Of Munich,
a friend of Count Won Hertling, the
imperial German chancellor. Prof.
Quidde was accompanied by the Dutch
pacifist. DR.. Jong Van Beck.
Prof. Quidde said he had come to
prepare the way for a mercitul peace.
and gave Prof. Heron to understand
that he spoke for Chancellor Won Hert-
ling and the German foreign office He
assured the American professor that
about to gain predominance in Ger
many. and that he wished to prepare
President Wilson to take advantage of
that auspicious moment.
Proposed Terms.
Germany, Prof. Quidde said. was
willing to make the following terms:
First-To grant autonomy to
Alsace-Lorraine within the limits
+ allies would not broach the sub
ject of Alsace-Lorraine at the peace
conference
second-The Brest-Litovsk peace
treaties not to be discussed at the
peace conference. although the
allies might submit claims for the
revision of them and Germany
might make certain concessions
Third-No economic war against
Germany after the war.
Fourth-German colonies to BE
restored. :,
Prof. Quidde asserted that the present
offensive in France had the ultimate

Prof. Heron. the Daily Nails corre-
spondent writes, after listening to the
German educator, exclaimed: .
II wonder that you have the effroptery
to ask me TO lay SOcn rlgmarOle OF
cant and deceit before the American
people. Far from creating a spirit Of
conciliation. 1t would simply strengthen
the American will to smash the perfid-
ious and nefarious offer of such pro-
posals.
"The United States intends to con-
tinue the fighting until the Prussian
military power and. IL necessary, the
Prussian state along with it, is extin-
guished forever as power for evil
whether 1t takes one year or ten.
.If you call the remorseless sacrifice
Of two million men a peace offensive
and IL you want the United States to
recognize your shelling of Partisan
congregations and churches as a part
Of 1t you are making monstrous and
foolish blunder.
"When I listen to your false and
treacherous overtures I feel ashamed
of humanity"

Prof. Quidde. adds the correspondent,
