SIR ERIC GEDDES WARNS
OF PERIL IN PEACE TALK
FoUv to Believe Kaiser Nolu Is on His Knees
Discussion of His Proposal Paralyzing to
Allied Energies, He Declares

Declaring that talk of peace, should
it become general at this time, would
paralyze the energies of the soldiers
in the field, fatally impair the useful
ness and productivity of the munition
workers and destroy the morale of
citizens upon whose energies at home
the men at the front are dependent FOR
supplies. Sir Eric Geddes, first lord Of
the British admiralty, said in an inter
view today that the quickest and surest
oad to peace was through continuing
tbe hammer blows now being dealt the
boche.
Germany, Sir Eric energetically in
sisted, is not beaten. and it would be
worse than folly to allow the people
of the allied nations to believe the
kaiser is on his knees. To allow such
an impression to take deep root in
the popular mind is to play the game
of the central powers, and perhaps to
invite prolonged suffering and pos
sibly irreparable disaster, the head OF

Wants Peace With mo Next Time
How would you suggest that peace
may be re-established"? Sir Eric was
asked.
II want peace, but it must be peace
with no next time written across 1t.
NY business, however, is not to make
peace. but to get on with this war. l
am not concerned with making peace;
I am only concerned with the means
of prosecuting the war;" was the big
Scotchman's reply. His massive jaws
came together with a snap.. and his
eyes sparkled with the light of an
ticipated battle. And yet Sir Eric is a
lover of peace. devoted to domestic
ideals.
I'VE cannot win this war by talking
of peace" continued Sir Eric. ITO get
us all talking of peace and the time
when all arms will be grounded ais
Just what Germany wants. Just
imagine this kind Of propaganda per-
meating a munitions factory. The
men working there. who have always
been keyed up to the highest pitch of
enthusiasm, suddenly weaken. They
are told that peace is coming. They
look at a great gun and say: This will
not be finished for three months, and
the war will be over in few weeks,
so what's the use Of going ahead at
such a pace'?'
"The soldier at the front who gets
the notion that peace is coming soon
and that Germany is about to COL
lapse loses his enthusiasm for war:
he loses the will to win. which in a
great cause like ours makes suffering
and danger as nothing. When people
lose their enthusiasm to win the war
they have lost the power to win.

the cause Of liberty. decency and hu-

Ground Covered With Dead.
The ground over which the great
battle has been fought is covered with
dead men and horses. Many Germans
are buried under tons of earth in COL
lapsed dugouts. Only a few of the
prisoners captured had heard of the
Austro German plea for an armistice,
and their ideas on the subject were
extremely hazy.
From all sources it is learned for a
virtual certainty that no formidable
wire barriers are ahead of the British
and Americans until the Valenciennes
line is reached. and after that the
line of the Meuse river.
Old Divisions Shadows.
There is great confusion within the
enemy lines. On the front Of the two
British armies engaged elements from
no fewer than twenty-n nine enemy divi-
sions have been identified along the
twenty-mile fighting line. Such concen-
tration of troops seems almost incred-
ible until it is realized that some Of
these divisions have been engaged al
most continuously since August 8, and
many are mere shadows of the old
organizations.

imanity, for which the allies are fight
ing, than a relaxation of energy
brought about by a general conviction
that the war is about to end, that
Germany is licked and that therefore
it is not necessary to continue prep
|aration and striving.
During the war my policy has been
to look two years ahead and always
be prepared two years in advance
Always assume that the war is going
to- last two years longer and you will
be on the safe side. If you do, peace
will one day come and a lasting peace
quicker than otherwise. Your NUM-
ton workers. your farmers, the boys
at the front and all concerned in
winning the war will continue to work
up to the limit of their capacity if
the people will talk of victory and not
of peace.
Il am not interested in how much
longer Germany can hold out What
interests me is how great whipping
we can give her. We can only sue
ceed in thrashing her thoroughly if
we concentrate all our energies, all
supreme enterprise.

But suppose Germany offers to
surrender unconditionally?'
"As said before, in my capacity as
first lord Of the admiralty it is my
business to make war. not to make
peace" was Sir Eric's response; "but
unconditional surrender are words
which would show some understand
ing of the allied language. When
Germany has learned that language

Headquarters, in Sick Aid

DR.. Mustard of the public health
service announced the establishment
of four zones with headquarters in
schoolhouses, to carry out the work
of assistance for the District health
service in battling with the con-
tagion.
The central zone, in the charge of
DR.. Settle of the public health service.
will be directed from the Webster
School. The section covered is east Of
18th street between P street north
west and D street southwest and c
street southeast.
Another zone will be 10Th street east
of and south to +, street northwest,
with headquarters in the Wilson Nor
NAL School, DIR. Gibbs being in charge
DR.. Roberts will pe in charge of the
zone 18th street west, with headquar-
ters in the Curtis School.
A zone including all the territory
south of D street southwest and C
street southeast will be under the di-
rection of DR.. Saunders, at the Van
Dyke School.
This service probably will have four
physicians attached to each zone sta
ton and twelve nurses to look after
the medical treatment and nursing Of
the patients in each zone.
DIR. Mustard said this morning that
with this service in operation he hoped
soon to have every case in the city
under proper medical and nursing
treatment, and in that way break up
the spread of the contagion.
He is receiving from the various
departments of the federal gov
a acfi
turns of the employees of the depart
ments reporting sick from the influ-
enZa. He is having these tabulated

Emergency Stations.
Health Officer Fowler announced
this morning that he plans quick es-
tablishment of four central emer-
gency stations in the city, with one
central station for temporary emer-
gency relief in supplying physicians
and nurses. where people seriously i'll
| with influenza could not obtain a doc
tor or a nurse. This relief, he said,
was to be only temporary and until
a physician and nurse could be OBJ
tanned.
| In addition to the service. he said,
the health department would in ex-
treme, cases undertake to supply
remedies for the treatment of the
patients where it was found impos-
sible to get medicine. which has
been the case in many instances due
to the abnormal demand for the fill
ing Of prescriptions in the treatment
of influenza.

ed at the office of DR.. Mustard, public

of the undertaking will be under the
