Kaiser Said to Favor
Peace by Agreement;

BY the Associated Press.

ROTTERDAM January 30.--Emperor
William is in sympathy with the move
menI for peace by agreement. accord
ing to Prof Hans Delbrueck of the
University of Berlin, as quoted in an in
terview with the Nieuwe Rotter-
damsche Courant's Berlin correspon-
ent.
Prof Delbrueck. who himself is a
peace by agreement advocate, said the
warning nations were now divided into
two camps. the first comprising those
who like Premier Lloyd George in Eng
land and Admiral Won Tirpitz in Ger
many, wanted a fight to a finish. and
the second consisting of those who, like
Emperor William. the German govern
ment, the reichStag majority and the
great majority of the people, were
working for negotiated peace.
Germany, declared Prof. Delbrueck,
has no thought of Infringing upon the
integrity or sovereignty of Belgium,
and he regretted that Chancellor Won
Hertling in his reichstag speech did
not say so more definitely Nothing was
further from the chancellor's intention
than the carrying out of a policy of
force, in Prof. Delbrueck's view, and
the masses of the people were behind
him.
The professor thought the fear that
power to shape things as he desired
was quite unfounded.
Prof. Delbrueck pointed to the furi-
Gus attacks by the pan-Germans upon
the emperor-something hitherto un-
heard of in Germany-as sufficient
proof of the emperor's sympathy with
peace by agreement

according to Archibald H. Grimke
president of the Washington branch OF
the National Association for the Ad-

statement submitted in behalf of the
association in regard to the provision
for the buildings and grounds of the
colored public schools of the city in the
appropriation bill for 1919.
In the statement it is pointed out
that the item of buildings and grounds
is fundamental, and that it is vital to
the welfare of future generations of
school children.
II say that profound injury will be
done to the development of the colored
community unless Congress insists that
the fair and square thing be done for

item of buildings and grounds" states

of school children are at stake, but the
