Says One of Entente
Asked Peace i'm 1916

BERLIN, Feb. 25 By The Associated
Press Hugo SHINES. a leading shir
owner and manufacturer, in state
ment to-day replying to the charge
made by Matthias Erzberger, head. OF
the German Armistice Commission
that SHINES had a prominent role in
the exploitation OF Belgium, introduce ed
an alleged revelation regarding peace
overtures from an allied country early
in 1916. The statement says that evil
dence in the files of the office of the
Chancellor and in the Foreign Office
proves that one of the great powers
opposed to Germany early in 1916 sug-
gested direct interchange of views
with the Entente on peace aims but
Germany rejected the proposition.
SHINES declares that the liberal
press of Germany forestalled and
eventually made wholly impossible an
opportunity to establish an understand
ing with Russia.
The statement further reveals that
the German government and German
industrial leaders contemplated, in the
event of successful outcome of the
war, the establishment of a joint Bel
gian and German administration of the
Belgian railways as part of the condi
tions of peace.
