SHIPS STRIKE ENEMY MINES
French Transport and TrawIer Strike
Mines and Sink in Sight Of City
Of Marseiles.

Paris.-Forty lives we're lost
through the sinking Of the French
freight transport Drome and trawler
Kerbihan, which struck mines within
sight Of Marseilles. The Drome first
came into contact with mine and
the Kerbdhan shortly afterwards
struck another near the same place.
Aviators later discovered other
mines in this region, which immedi-
ately was swept in an endeavor to
clear them away.
Available shipping records do not
contain a steamer OF the name OF
Drome. There Is, however, vessel
OF 1926 tons named La Drome. This
vessel was built in New Castle in
1900 and is owned by the French
line.

Washington.-The thirty German

The vessels represent an aggregate OF
about 10000 gross tons.
This announcement by the state
department gave further evidence of
the inter-allied agreement that the
provisioning OF France should not be
hampered by troop movements from
America. This government had con-
sidered entering into negotiations for
the vessels to supplement the trans

PEACE PROPOSALS
IN FAR DISTANCE
CENTRAL POWERS ANGLING TO
FURTHER PEACE DISCUS
sloNS WITH ALLIES.
NO INTENTION OF JUSTICE
Make Subtle Appeal to Russia and
France to Talk Separate Peace,
But scornfuIly Reject cesslon
of Alsace-Lorra!ne.

Washington.-Th central empires
are angling for further discussion with
the United States and the allies, but
are not yet ready to go far enough to
bring peace now.
That contention was drawn by inter
national experts from the Hertling
and Czernin replies to President VIII
sons and Lloyd Georges war aims
speeches.
The main baking point appears to
be Alsace-Lorraine.
Germany manifested no intention
OF "righting" or "reconsidering" the
wrong done her, as demanded by the
English and American statesmen,
Her reply as to the first five points
Of the Wilson speech was fully antici.
pated.
Her answer to the sixth and eighth
points were regarded as a subtle ap-
peal to Russia and France to talk
peace independently, but scornful re-
lection Of her statement that she can
not talk cession of Alsace- Lorraine
will be the French answer. AS for
Russia, she apparently is temporarily
unfavorable to any more parleys with
Germany.
The answer to the seventh point
was regarded as distinct concession,
indicating that Germany has modi-
fled her original views as to Belgium.
Omission of part of Hertling's re-
ply to the important ninth, tenth,
eleventh and twelfth points bearing on
Italy, Austria, Poland and the Balk-
ans, left officials curious as to what
the Germans thought about those very
big problems.
Czarnin's speech was regarded as
far more coneiliatory than Hertllng's,
though authorities saw in Hertling's
a tone far more subdued and diplo-
matte than anything Germany has is
sued to date. There was, however, a
certain brusqueness to both which IN
didated that the Teuton militarists
are still debating and that there must
be further fighting to accomplish
American allied aims.
Experts here have foreseen that the
Teutons would bid for peace con-
ference or for further statement OF
war aims, but have warned that this
by no means meant that the Teuton
feeling was sufficiently genuine to
bring peace. Reading between the
lines, some saw a reflection of intern.
al difficulties more marked than ever
before, but there was doubt that Ger
many is sufficiently convinced that
her military power is on the wane.
