NEW GERMAN PEACE
OFFENSIVE DEMANDED
Influential Berlin Newspaper
Says Something Must Be
Done Quickly

BY GEORGE RENWICK
Special Gable to Erening Public Ledger

CopyriOht 1918. by Notr York Times Co.
Amsterdam. June 3.
The peace offensive can now begin
a peace offensive and no peace offers.
The preparatory work must be quickly
accomplished. Something must be done,
for time presses. Now is the time. fer
our military successes will make this ac-
tion more effective. He who will allow
only the sword to speak takes too mar
row view of this war and has no un-
derstanding for its political Demands
In these words. taken from a long and
prominently displayed article, an i'm
portant Berlin newspaper makes an en-
phatc demand for definite announce
ment of German war aims and for an
immediate peace push"
1t is not the Norwaerts nor any demo-
cratic organ. but a mouthpiece of high
military and conservative parties which
makes this sudden demand. II Is the
| kreuz-Zeitung.
The article, which attracts a good deal
of attsntion in the rest of the German
press. is all the more remarkable for
| its candid admission thar the German
| Government has totally failed to make
clear to the slightest extent what the
| fatherland l. really lighting or It
| rdicules the idea that a clear statement
| Of war aims is tantamount to throwing
| the cards on the table. and warns the
| Government seriously against appearing
at a peace conference with unexpected

should It do So. then it runs the risk
Of encountering serious opposition. of
making the negotiations more difficult
and of having to bear the odium of the
failure of the discussions. 1t is evident
that any of these results would have a
serious effect on the people Of the coun-

COURT FINDS LIBEL
INSOCIETYLETTER
THAT CAUSED SUIT
CONTINUED from, First Page.l

NCOnllnueQ from lTEL IaBe.l
Mrs. Edith N. Jordan. a sister Of the
defendant. Prior to February 81. 1918,
the plaintiffs sister. Mrs. Emma PralI
Knorr, wrote a letter to Mrs. Jordan
referring to the plaintiff and her
plan for the future. particularly as to
her home life.
This letter was unobjectionable in
tone, apparently most friendly both
in language and spirit, and could
not possibly be distorted into a justi-
fication Of the letter which was part
in reply to it. That letter did not
come from Mrs. Jordan, but from the
defendant, who on February p. 1918,
wrote the letter which furnishes the
basis for the action. II Is most viru-
lent in character. filled with asper-
sions upon the plaintiffs character.
and evidently written for the purpose
Of humiliating and degrading and in
sulting plaintiff and holding her up
to the contempt and ridicUle OF all
those who might have an opportun-
ity of reading it. The whole tone
OF the letter is unmistakable, its pUr-
pose apparent, and the malice which
pervades II Is manifested in almost
every paragraph. 1t was mailed to
Mrs. Rnorr after being copied by the
defendants maid, and in Il the de-
fendant refers to the fact that copies
thereof will be made.
Held Libel Per Sc.
'Tt would serve no useful purpose
to quote at length from the commu-
nication, the sole effect of which
would be to give wider circulation TO
its libelous contents I deem It
enough to say that in my
opinion the portions Of the letter
quoted constitute a libel per Sc; that
though they were written for the
purpose apparent upon their face of
charging the plaintiff with the char
acteristics. defects, failings or acts
set forth in the second paragraph OF
the complaint, and that even without
the innuendo the portions Of the let
ter quoted are plainly libeIous, and.
therefore. plaintiff was entitled to re-
cover more than nominal damages,
and the dismissal OF the complaint
was error"
Nor do l think that the defendant
Is protected by any claim OF privil-
ege, for her letter was not written in
reply to any letter directed to her.
and Mrs. KnOrr's letter to Mrs. Jordan
furnished neither excuse, basis, or
reason for the libelous communication
The defendant voluntarily interjected
herself into a correspondence with
which she had no concern. for the
purpose of gratifying her malice
against the plaintiff or TO satisfy
some grievance OF her own, real or
fancied. The extent to which she in
dulged herself in the libelous charges
finds no qualification in any part oB
the letter which she seized upon as a
pretext for her epistle, and as the let
ter was not sent to her and called for
no reply from her, even when she as
certained its contents, her volunteered
reply thereto Is not a privileged one.
The Judgment appealed from should
be reversed"
