Peace Near, Says Herrick
Myron 7. Hcrrick, former Ambassa-
dor to France and newly elected presi-
dent of the Ohio Society, predicted in
his speech comparatively imminent
termination of the present war.
IL am not one of those who believe
that the war is to last five or ten years
longer" he said. 1.-THE forces that
nave gathered and are gathering in op-
position to Germany must soon crush
down her defences. Already it is evil
dent that Germany has failed In her
ambition for world power"
In discussing the Russian situation
Mr. Herrick scoffed at the idea that
the newest republic could ever become
an ally of the Kaiser

saved vassai OF Germany, and it is not
,MmpoSslnle that she may vet find q
Napoleon to bring her out of her pres

prove liability to Germany instead
or an asset. Already she has discov-
cred the cloven hoof in the peacc pro-
posals.'
SAYS Germans Influenced Congress
IN speaking or German propaganda
n the United States Mr.. Herrick said
that it had been carried on full-blast
long before the European war began.
He told Of the attempt that he and
other Ohio men had made to induce
Congress to establish an American
merchant marine. This measure. he
said, was defeated twice. and after its
second defeat John A. Penton, secre-
tary of Mr.. Herrick's organization, was
arrested for criminal libel because he
said that a Congressman from the
Northwest had been bribed by the Ger
man steamship companies.
THE Congressional investigation
which followed" the speaker continued,
developed such state Of affairs that
the companies were glad to drop the
matter. 1t was thoroughly disclosed
that these German shipping companies,
which are aided by the government and
are said to have the Kaiser as their
