veterans.

made gas attack also in this sector,
firing so proiectiles of high per cent
gas and 20 high explosive shells.

HertIing Sees Chance for Peace
in Wilson's Speech.
GOAL NOT YET REACHED
Yelled Overture Made To Belgium
Would Not Adopt Antago-
nistic Attitude II Ap-
preached.

Amsterdam-Spe before the
Reichstag the Imperial German Chan.
cellor, Count Won Hertling, made this
declaration:
81 can fundamentally agree with the
four principles which. in President
Wilson's view, must be applied in a
mutual exchange OF views, and thus
declare with President Wilson
that a general peace can be discussed
on such basis.
"Only one reserve need be made in
this connection: These principles
must not only be proposed by the Pres.
ident OF the United States, but must
also actually be recognized by all
states and peoples. But this goal has
not yet been reached. There is still
no court of arbitration established by
all the nations for the preservation
of peace in the name of justice. When
President Wilson incidentally says
that the German Chancellor is speak
ing to the tribunal of the entire world
| must decline this tribunal as preiu.
diced, joyfully as | would greet 1t II
an impartial court of arbitration cX
listed, and gladly as would cooperate
to realize such ideals.
Unfortunately however. there is no
trace of similar statements on the part
of the leading powers of the Entente.
England's war aims are still thorough.
ly imperialistic and she wants to i'm.
pose on the world a peace according
to England's good pleasure. When
England talks about the peoples
rights of elf-determination she does
not think of applying the principle to
Ireland, Egypt and India.
1T has been repeatedly said that we
do not contemplate retaining Belgium,
but that we must be safeguarded from
the danger of country with which we
desire after the war to live in peace
and friendship becoming the object or
jumping.otf ground of enemy machina.

titude, even though the discussion at
first might only be unbinding.
Meanwhile, / really admit that
President Wilson's message of Febru.
airy IL constitutes perhaps a small step
toward a mutual rapproachement."
With reference to statement re.
Gently made by Walter Runciman, the
former president of the Board of Agr.
culture, in the British Cabinet, the
Chancellor said

Four Sentenced To Die.

Washington.-Four American sol
diers, caught asleep while doing sentry
duty in the first line trenches, have
been sentenced to death, but General
Pershing, although he has authority
to carry out the sentences, has re-
ferred their cases to the War Depart
ment for review
These are the first cases of the
kind since the American troops went
to France One soldier has been exc.
cuted there for an unspeakab.e Of.
fense on a French child, and in his
case General Pershing acted swiftly
without as much as referring Z! TO
Washington.
In these cases, however, some ex.
tenuating circumstances may be
found for the men, tired and nerve
worn by front line trench duty in a
hitherto unknown manner of warfare,
to save them from the death penalty
at the hands of their own fellows.
President Wilson probably, in the
end, VIII review their cases Going
to sleep on sentry duty has long been
recognized as an uniorgivable Of
fense, punishable by death, and such
cases, rare as they have been in the
American army, have furnished some
of the most absorbing incidents Of its
history. One of the most touching
recollections which attaches to the
memory of Lincoln was his pardon of
q country boy, who, tagged out by
the hard duty of campaigning, went
to sleep on a sentry post.
