New York, April President VIII
son has not changed his attitude
concerning a negotiated peace with
the central powers. as expressed in
his nag day address, his reply to Pupe
benedict and his message to con-
gress on the declaration OF war with
austria, according to a letter he has
written to Bishop Theodore s. Hem
uerSon. OF the Methodist Episcopal
church, made public here today by
the National War council OF the
Bishop Henderson wrote to the
PRESIDENT in behalf OF 10000 Amsri-
can Methodists, asking in particular
Whether his present unwavering pur-
pose was expressed in the following
words from his messages:
The German power, a thing with
out conscience, honor or capacity for
coYenanted peace. must be crushed.
Our present and immediate
task is to win the war and nothing
shall turn us aside until 1t is ac-
complished.
The Presidents letter dated March
Is follows:
In reply to your letter OF March
II, may / not say that you are
perfectly safe in using the words
which you quote from my messages
as expressing my unaltered thought
and unbroken purpose. IT is always
our duty to find out what the ex-
preston of a desire for peace from
our opponents really means, but un-
less 1t means a complete and convinc-
ing program of justice upon which a
lasting peace can really rest land we
have had as vet no evidence that ii
means anything Of that klnd) it
means nothing"
The Presidents letter win be read
from all Methodist pulpits in the
country on April and the national

odist ministers have been urged to
use 1t as a basis OF a new and hearty

American Efficiency

OF Boastful Germans
Disabled Ship Repaired in Ten Days
That Teutons Said Could not Be
Done on This Side of Water.

Speaking of American efficiency in the
repairing of the German vessels seized by
this Government, the Wall Street Journal
has this to say;
Take the Vaterland for instance, She
is the biggest and most beautiful thing
a1oat. Stood up on Broadway, she would
tower 200 feet above the Woolworth build
ing. She has 18 decks, Is elevators, 5
kitchens, $50 clocks all timed from the
main bridge, hot and cold water in every
room and many miles of piping. wiring
and electric controls,
Captain Ruser, one of the most manly
and gentlemanly of commanders, was SO
in love with his ship that he would not
permit it to be damaged otherwise than as
directed by the Government to insure her
being out of commission for at least two
wears There were no foundries on this
side of the ocean that could give the Vat
erland new cylinder castings OF 70 tons
each. and no dry dock that could receive
her on this side of the ocean, except at the
Panama canal.
The General Electric Co., the New York
Central and Erie railroads all co-operated
with electric workers and electric welding
devices and what it was estimated would
require five months on this ship was done
in ten DAYS. Thirteen breaks or cracks IN
the Vaterland's cylinders were mechanical
" patched by the electric welding system
and made stronger than before, yet without
single rivet having to be put through the
80 inches of metal.
Ii was found that the United States Steel
cooperation had developed ust the right
wire soldering with the proper mixture OF
manganese and that the railroad repair
shops around New York had developed
the electric welding process of the General
Electric Co. to higher efficiency than
anywhere else in the world. The railroad
shops and the General Electric Co. we're
able to furnish the apparatus and the crews
to repair the machinery of the Vaterland
within the time required for overhaulng
and cleaning of the ships bottom by a
half dozen submarine divers, who, among
other things, took $50 bushels of oysters
off the Vaterland's bottom.
The VaterIand was equipped with both
Curtiss and Parsons turbine engine engines
but the Germans have never been able to
work them to full efficiency. Indeed, on
her last trip to this country under German
engineers. the Vaterland was able to uss
only part of her machinery. The Ameri-

The secret of the naval successes here
was not only in American enterprise and
