planes took part in the deliberate
bombing of the American Red Cross
hospital at Jouy late Monday night.
An investigation of the affair has been
made at the request of Harvey d. Glib
son, American Red Cross commission
er for France, by Daniel T. Pierce
of the committee on public tnforma-
tion.
The report shows that four bombs
were dropped at II o'clock at night.
Two fell squarely on tents, one fell
seven feet from another tent, and the
fourth failed to explode. There are
no structures of any kind near the
hospital and the nearest railroad is
three kilometers away. In addition
to the usual Red Cross markings a
large cross, 100 feet long, was in po-
sition on the lawn. Photographs
taken recently from airplanes show
that the cross was visible several thou.

agree that the German aviators ficw

then shut off their engines, dropped to
within few hundred feet, and let go
their bombs after a careful observa-
tion.

Washington, July Reinforcement
of the work-or-fght order will de-
plete the ranks of organized baseball
to such an extent that 1t would be I'M
possible to continue the season.
This was the burden of the brief
prepared today by baseball magnates
for submission to Provost Marshal
General Crowder, in their final effort
to forestall death blow to the game.
After the brief has been submitted to
General Crowder he will confer with
Secretary of War Baker, who will
make the decision.
Secretary Baker has let 1t be known
that when he ruled on the Ainsmith
case last week he was under the i'm
preston that, even though the work-or-
fight order was enforced there would
still be enough players left outside of
the draft age with which to finish out
the season. This has given rise to the
belief that if the baseball men today
are able to prove conclusively that the
game would be doomed with the en-
forcement of the order, the secretary
would announce modification Of his
decision in the Ainsmith case.

London, July 18.Lieut. Quentin
Roosevelt, son Of Former President
Roosevelt, was shot down and killed
on the Chateau Thierry sector Of the
Marne front on Sunday, according to
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Paris. According to the dispatch
Philip Roosevelt, from his station in
the trenches, saw the young American
aviator fall victim to German air
squadron.
Philip Roosevelt Is believed to be
cousin of Quentin.
Lieutenant Roosevelt was last seen
in combat on Sunday morning with
two enemy airplanes, about ten miles
inside the German lines in the Chateau
Thierry sector. He started out with
a patrol of Is American machines.
They encountered seven Germans and
were chasing them back when two
Of them turned on Lieutenant Roose-
velt.
Reports of the fight state that the
Germans appeared to be shooting at
the lieutenant from the rear, the
three machines being close together.
Then one Of the machines was seen
tumbling through the clouds and pa
troll which went in search of Lieuten-
ant Roosevelt returned without trace
Of him. He appeared to be fighting
up to the last moment.
One account of the combat says the
machine caught fire before 1t began
to fall.
The other Roosevelt boys have also
figured In recent dispatches telling Of
their war deeds. Theodore, Jr., ma
jor In the Twenty-sixth infantry, in
the attack at Cantigny was partially
blinded and his lungs were injured by
German gas. He refused to leave his
battalion and was cited for bravery.

PEACE TERMS
CALLED INSULT
TO HUMANITY
Dictated by Thief With Sole Oh
iect Of Retaining Loot He
Has Gathered.
ALLIES MUST REMAIN FIRM
As President Wilson Has Said, No
Halfway Decision Is conceiv-
abIe-Germany Must Prove
Claim to Be Civilized.

Washington, July 25.-"NO new Ger
man peace offensive will distract our
attention from the real task of win
ming the war. Such suggestions as
are now being put forth from inspired
German sources are insults to Ameri-
can intelligence. When Germany
really desires peace she knows on
what terms she can get it,
That was the declaration Of very
high administration official when
shown the London dispatches outlin-
ing Ger1nany's new terms Of peace,
which the Berlin Vorwaerts says have
been sent to Spain with suggestion
that they be used to bring about a
peace conference. Other administra-
tion officials united In this declara-
ton.
The proposed new German plan
was declared to be insulting in the
extreme.
1.-THE terms Of thief negotiating
to save his loot" was favorite char
acterization.
An official In the presidents conf
dence, while insisting that 1t was "ut-
terly foolish to do so," consented to
analyze the German terms as follows:
No. 1--"Germany is willing to fore
go annexations and indemnities In
the west If permitted to retain her
stolen territory in the east and domi-
nate Russia"
q Germany insists that Rus,
|sia nd xlHIlnnia remain vassal

No. 3."Principles of self-determi.
nation to be settled at the peace
table. Stripped of verbiage, Germany
would want to trade Belgium and
the Balkans for her lost colonies
No. 4.-"The same as No. g."
No. 5.-"Germany to dismantle her
enemy's strongholds In the way best
suited to give her all advantage"
In this connection 1t was pointed
out that President Wilson at Mount
Vernon on July practically replied
to the new German terms when he
said:
what we seek Is the reign of law,
based upon the consent of the gov
erned and sustained by the organized
opinion Of mankind"
At that time the president told the
world that there can be no compro-
mise; no halfway decision would be
no halfway decision is con-
ceivable. And he made 1t plain, once
and for all, that there could be no
"peace by negotiation, which had for
its object debating and seeking to
reconcile and accommodate what
statesmen may wish, with their prof.
ects for balances Of power and Of
national opportunity"
Until Germany accepts the princi-
pies outlined by the president, officials
declared again, there will be no in
terest whatever here in feelers for
peace put forth from Germany. The
balance of the war has swung against
Not only in the fighting on
the western front but In the develop.

There Is hardly any difference be.
tween the general principles enunci.
ated by the statesmen of both belliger-
ents,' he said president Wilson's
four new points of July shall not,
apart from certain exaggerations,
arouse our opposition.
ION the contrary, we are able to ap-
prove them heartily to great extent.
Nobody would refuse homage to this
genius, and nobody would refuse his
cooperation This, however, is not the
main point, but it is what can also be
understood in the interests of mankind
Both groups should certainly honestly
attempt to clear this up and settle it
by mutual agreement, but not in the
same manner as, for instance, our
peace treaties In the East were
Judged"
Sensitive About East.
In fact, the foreign minister was
very sensitive about the Indignation
with which the treaties with Russia
and Roumania were received through
out the democratic world. He sought
to assure the allies at another point In
his disclosure that they need have no
fear Of the shameful degradation and
ruin visited by the Teutonic empires
on the East.
''In the midst Of the terrible strug-
gle and in every phase Of this war Of
successful defense the central powers
have had no other aim in view but to
secure the enemy's will to have peace.
IF we sum up all that has been said
on the enemy's side in regard to their
war aims we recognize three groups Of
aspirations which are being set forth
to Justify the continuation of blood
shed SO that the ideafs of mankind may
be realized.
"The freedom of all nations, which
are to form q league Of nations and
which in future shall settle their diff
ferences by arbitration and not by
arms, Is to reign.
"The domination of one nation by
another nation Is to be excluded.
"various territorial changes are to
be carried out at the expense of the
central powers.
"These annexationist aims. though
yaridlsly shaped, are generally known,
especially in regard to Austria-Hun-
gary, to carry out her internal disinte-
grafton for the purpose Of the promo
ton of new states.
"Territorial aims are, In fact, the
only things now separating the differ
ent belligerent groups.
"The enemy's obstinacy regarding
his territorial demands regarding AL
sace-Lorraine, Triest, the Trentino and
the German colonies appears to be in
surmountable There lies the limit of
our readiness for peace. We are pre-
pared to discuss everything except our
own territory.
