'LOW AIRSHIP PROGRAM
DISPLEASING TO PERSHING

Apparently not many more will be
shipped abroad before the end OF the
month.
This information came from an au-
thoritative source at the war depart
ment today.
AS a result of delays by the signal
corps, that branch Of the service has
succeeded the ordnance bureau as an
object of attack and investigation.
The aeroplane problem is being IN
vestigated from several sources.
The president has a commission
headed by H. Snowden Marshall; j;
Chairman Howard e Coffin, Of the air
craft production board Is probing de-
lays; Gutzon Borglum, sculptor, has
made a preliminary probe apparently
with Secretary Bakers sanction; and
besides, the inspector generals depart
nent is also digging into the signal
corps.
And congress has been inclined to
be critical of the vast sums spent In
aeroplane construction, especially as
the results have been more closely
shielded by censorship and official
secrecy than any other phase OF war
work.

Substitute Peace Drive for Offensive.
[By Ed l.. Keen, United Press Staff
Correspondent
LONDON, March 1S.--Germany has
substituted its most subtle peace
drive for its long prepared western
offensive.
The results of this move depend on
the ability of allied craftsmanship to
show the German people that the war
Is lost-and will merely be repeated
If the allies are induced to trade
their advantage in the west for Ger
many's obvious advantage in the
east and make peace on these Ger
man terms.
There is every Indication that the
recent German peace feelers soon will
assume tangible form, including not
only complete restoration and repara-
tion for Belgium and France, but a
compromise on the disposition Of Al
SAGE and Lorraine. besides an adroit
offer to assume liability for the big
French loans to Russia, which the
Bolsheviki repudiateu--provided Ger.
many is given free hand in the
east.
Tho messages of President Wilson
and other Americans to the Russian
pan-soviet congress at Moscow are
regarded as of unusual timelfness.
Their purpose is interpreted as not
only to stimulate Russia, but to OBJ
tain the approval of the worlds
democracies Of the American policy
Of no peace at Russia's expense
An interesting development is the
s., - 1,o$ ci
laborttes hitherto classed as paci-
fists, are outspoken in their denuncia-
ton of such a peace, considering 1t
not only dishonorable, but calculated
to strengthen Prussian miltarism for
a more formi dafble onslaught against
western democracy a few years later.
The greatest interest Is displayed
in next weeks meeting of the German
reichstag, which will discuss the
Russian peace treaty.
