NO FURTHER PEACE
OFFER, SAYS BALFOUR
Germany Has Never Made
Any Serious Proposals,
He Declares
London. June 81.

A debate was started in the House OF
Commons by Philip Edward Morrell. a
pscifist, on the question OF peace by
agreement by moving that secret Treaties
with Allied Governments should be re-
vised since. in their present form, they
are inconsistent with the object for
which this country entered the war, and
are, therefore. a barrier to democratic
peace"
The motion was ncgatived without di-
vision.
In moving his resolution. Mr.. Morrell
declared there was a passionate desire
for peace in Germany, IL II could be
got with security. but the Germans, be-
liered the Allies were unwilling to listen
to reasonable terms. a.,
Arthur J. Balfour, the Foreign Secre-
tary, declared 1t was fact that Ger
many was pursuing her aim of universal
domination with persistent and elaboi
rate care and foresight, and with
ruthless, cold-blooded discrimination
which left ,Napoleonic tradition far be.
hind. I'VE never rejected proposals we
thought had the slightest probability OF
producing a reasonable peace, and. there
is no evidence whatever that the Ger.
man Government has ever been serious
in making such peace offers" he as.
serted.
Contending that Belgium remained
the greatest blow to German honor, tn,
Secretary asked whether Germany hat
ever in any document or speech openl,
or plainly offered to restore Belgium t.
absolute political and economic indie
| pendence.
Mr.. Balfour emphasized that in the
| matter of war aims there was not tn
| slightest difference between Great Brit
ain and the United States, and he denie'
! that secret treaties were an obstacle {,
| peace. 1t was quite a mistake, he said
to suppose that the treaty with Ital.
would stand in the way of peace.
Certainly" he continued, 'the Gov
ernments are not going to shut thei
ears to anything that could be calle
reasonable suggestions, II such sugges
tions should be made. These treatie
were entered into by this country witt
others as members of an alliance. B.
these treaties we stand. Our nationa
honor is bound up in them"
This was the very last time, said tn
Secretary, that the Allies were likely t
make proposals to the Central Powers
or, as far as he was able to judge tina
the Central Powers were likely to max
proposals to the Allies except for tn
one purpose Of peace offensive.

again effectively shelled enemy first
lines and also a town behind the Ger

troops were using were destroyed.
There was much aerial activity
throughout the day, the American
anti-alr batteries driving off a number

An American patrol comprising one
officer and eight men which had been
missing since Tuesday night In the
sector northwest of Toul suddenly
emerged from a shell hole close to
the German lines and made a dash
across No Mans Land without shct
being fired at them.
It was noon when the patrol carried
out it's rush to the American line. The
mems comrades looking on expected
every second to see them wiped out
and their safe return was an agree
able surprise. They explained that
they had lost their way IN the dark.

While Wilson Is Opposed to

Washington, March S.-Mighty

The outcome Of these moves on

Upon President Wilson and the heads

Decision Still Pending.
Attention is still riveted upon the
impending decision of Japan on the
question of intervening In Siberia at
a time when the advices from Europe
add daily to the revelation of Ger.

Press on Despite Treaty.
Despite the peace treaty German
armies are pressing on into Russia
without the Bolsheviki uttering a
word of appeal to the Allies to help
them save Siberia or any other part
of their domain from the invaders.
England. France and Italy are con.
vinced that to permit Siberia to re.

signs, whether they be the acquisi
ton of territory or only the acquire
ment Of Entente supplies will be tan
tamount to rendering enormous aid

Russia, to save Russia from her own
internal enemies, and to provide a
rallying point for new provisional
government of Russia faithful to the
Allied cause.
They are for commissioning Japan
to employ this force in Asiatic Rus
sia because Japan alone Is capable OF
placing an army in Siberia.
Intervention Opposed.
President Wilson is opposed to this
policy. He would not intervene III
Russia except upon the invitation OF
the Russian government, though he
has not recognized that government
as the lawful government Of Russia.
He is Of the opinion that under the
circumstances moral suasion will be
more effective than Japanese inter.

Russian people in resistance of the
German menace and that the moral
effect of unsolicited Allied interven'
ton would be worse for the Allied
cause than physical losses OF war
