Amsterdam, June 26-That Ger
many can't hope TO win the war by q
military decision was admitted today
by Richard Won Kuehlmann, German
foreign secretary, in a speech to the
Reichstag
For so long" continued Won KuehI-
mann, "as every overture is regarded
by others as a peace offensiye-and
a trap or as something false for the
purpose of sowing disuniOn between
allies, so long as every attempt at a
rapprochment is at once violently de-
nounced by the enemies OF a rap
prochment in the various countries,
so long viii it be impossible to see
how any exchange of ideas leading to
peace can be begun
I'm view OF the magnitude of this
war and the number Of powers, includ-
ing those from overseas, that are en-
gagged, its end can hardly be expected
through purely military decisions
alone and without recourse of diplo-
matte negotiations"

FAXED SALES TO AMERICANS
Highly Capitalized German Concerns
in New York Try to Hide AS
sets From Government.

New York, June 25.-German plots
to hide enemy assets under the cloak
OF American corporations, organized
vealed here today when A Mitchell
Palmer, alien property custodian,
took over three German-owned con-
Germs with an aggregate capitalization
of 50, 100000.
The companies in the group taken
over today were Dieckerhoff, Raffloer
& Co, importers and manufacturer
Of notions, at $50 Broadway; Raffloer,
Erbslch & Co., cordage manufacturers,
of the same address, with plants in
Cuba, and the American Storage Com
pany of Havana.
It is charged that on March II,
1917, three weeks before the United
States entered the war against Ger
many, George Carlton Comstock, a
New York lawyer, advised Ewald c.
DieckerhOff, one OF the principal own
ers, to Safeguard" his property.
Comstock, in a letter which was dis
covered by the department of justice,
is said to have written on that date.
THE best way to safeguard your
property would be to transfer all your
assets to a New York corporation
which could be organized for this pur-
pose, or a corporation already in ex-
istence could be used. We have cor
porations in this office which are not
doing anything at this time-they
having been created for certain pur-
poses and, those purposes having been
accomplished, are now available for
other uses after amendments of the
objects and increases of capital stock
have taken place"
