GERMANS WANTED
PEACE WITH
WILSON
OFFER DESCRIBED THROUGH
SWITZERLAND PROFESSOR

LONDON, May 10.-The story of
how an attempted German peace of
fensiye directed toward President viii
son was turned down ANONYMOUSLY
by Prof Heron, an American living in
Geneva, is told by Swiss correspond
ent of the Daily Mail, Heron is de-
SERTED as a friend of the President
and was visited by Prof Quidde of
Munich who claimed to represent the
German Chancellor Won Hertling and
the Foreign Office. Buidde said the
peace party in the l'aichstag was about
to gain the ascendency and wished to
prepare Wilson to take advantage of
that suspicious moment.
He said Germany will make the fol
lowing terms: Autonomy for Alsace-
Lorraine within the German Empire;
the Brest-Litovsk peace treaties were
not to be discussed at the peace con
ference. There was to he no economic
war against Germany after the war,
and the Germancolonies were to be
restored.
Heron was declared to have refused
point blank to act.
Heron told the correspondent he
believed the Germans were at last
convinced that the United States in
tends to stay in the war until its
righteous objects are achieved.
He said he told Quidde and others
that the the United States no longer
wants peace, but wants to sweep out
Aegean stables at Pctsdam,"

SIGNIFICANCE OF ARMY RsNK
Explanation Concerning the Insignia
of Various Officers That Is More
or Less Romantic.

Because gold is a more precious
confess ignorance of the reason for
geld bars on second licutCnant's
shoulder straps and silver bars on
those of first lieutenant. Through
out the rank of army insignias gold
appears to be subOrdinated. Moss
Officers Manual explains the sig
nificance:
'The second lieutenant stands on
the level ground. looking up to his
supcriOrs at varying attitudes above
BIN. He begins to climb toward the
top, his first step being the lower bar
of the fence, which position is tyrified
by the one bar of the first lieutenant
Upon reaching the top of the fence the
officer wears two bars, which repre-
sent the bottom and top bars of the
fence, from which point he can now
as captain survey the field. From the
fence, the officer must climb to the
branches of the oak, the tree of might
and strength. 1t is long climb and
SymbOliZeS the marked difference that
exists between the company and the
field officer. The gold leaf on the
majors shoulder strap symboliZes this
position. The next step is to the tall
est tree of the forest, the straight, tow
ering, silver poplar, with no branches
for many feet from the ground. AL
though this point of vantage is some
what higher than that of the oak, il
is not materially so, and the duties
and responsibilities of the position are
about the same. The officer is now
among the silver leaves of the poplar
which fact is typified by the silve!
leaf of the lieutenant colonel. The
silver eagle Of the colonel symbOliZes
the bird that scars over the top Of
Tie towering poplar. The next step is
the greatest of all: To the stars III
in the armament, far, far above the
eagles flight, which position is typi-
fed by the star on the general Off
GERS shoulder strap"
This description of the Significance
of our insignia of rank. is, of course
merely a romantic explanation.
