Diplomacy Instead Of Warfare

-
But instead OF forclbly seizing peace,
Germany elected to- endeavor to cajole'
1t through doubtful diplomacy. In 1915
the war at sea with every ounce of
vigor which Germany had, | was In
stead directed to open negotiations with
friendly Russians looking toward a
peace with Russia by offering conces-
bsions to Serbia, establishing the Ma
rev line as strategic security for East
Prussia in return for which Russia was
to nave part Of Galicia for which in
turn Austria would compensate herself
by taking Sandjak, Novibazar and Al
! bania. Warships of both nations were
to be allowed through the Dardanelles
and we would abandon thesBagdad rail
way or share it with Russia. Russia
was to have Persia and Germany was
| to take owe the Russian debt to France.
The conditions were to be much more
favorable to Russia II through her we
could establish peace with Japan. In
that case Japan was to give Tsingtau
to China, and Russia and Germany
would occupy It, unfortified, under lease
from China. Germany would pledge her
| self to assist Japan If she were at
tackled by a On European or a Euro
pean power.
The attempt at this rapprochement
| was doomed to failure by sending the
l lar 100 Conspicuous LAliltO NhoA - D"
den to negotiate 1t.
Our premature attempt to bring about
| peace negotiations through the Danish
| court did nothing more than acqualnt
the Danes with our weakness.
This seems to be the first pub
lished statement that peace rapproche-
ments were conducted at this time
through the Danish contributors

/ attribute directly to Bethmann- Holl-
veg the failure to make possible the
realization Of Petrograd's wish for
peace. But this opportunity was lost
and never again was Germany in a po-
sition to offer Russia inducements which
would have evoked a complete CONT
mental peace advantageous to Germany,
1t was this diplomatic dickering that
led to the adoption of the catch phrase
"purely defensive war" The attitude
OF mind which this fostered In Ger
ruin. 1t was purely an Illusion. Should
the German nationality survive, the
curse Of history and our descendants
will fall upon those who brought abou'
this state of mind.
How different was this from the Wig
orous antagonistic attitude or LloyC

OF the British people the idea Of full

strength and will to fight was sappet
by the wtdesDi cad propaganda tha

Final submarine War Came
Too Late.

Whether the ~reversion to unrestricted
submarine warfare in 1917, declaring al
waters contiguous to Great Britain and
Ireland to be enemy territory, n ar
fording, ever more numerous irritations
to the United States was a wise step
or not, l am not prepared to say: In
1916, if submarine warfare a been
persisted in, l believe England would
have been defeated.
(At this period, foreshadowing the re-
tirement Of Admiral Jellicoe as first
sea- lord, British naval experts were
clanioring that his defensive naval poll
/ icy was allowing the U-boats to ruin
British merchant shipping, and in Au-
gust Of that year Arthur Pollen. the
leading English civilian naval critic,
said in Washington that a drastic
change in the British naval policy was
necessary II the submarine destruction
was to be stopped,-Editor's Motel
1t is impossible for me to make up
my mind, whether If the responsibility
had been left to me and / had known
all the facts, / still would have waged
the submarine warfare in 1917 AS an
actual fact at that time, / had an I'M
stinctive feeling that it was too late,
but | allowed myself to be convinced
by those in high office that II must be
risked. Our entangled situation left
us scarcely any other loophole by
which we could hope to escape utter
ruin. although its value was already
lessened and the corresponding danger
heightened.
| am certain there was still a posi-
bility Of attaining a toierable peace II
Germany had concentrated all her pow
ers on the submarine war as England
did in combating II. We were then Sc
very near a satisfactory peace. 1t IVA

Sussex Note Was Decisive
Turning Point of War.

II vas the beginning Of our capitula-
ton. 0nce determined upon ruthless
submarine war we should have held
our ground and insisted upon its le-
gality under international law against
every pressure brought 60 bear, IN
stead Of that, by promising to indemni-
~ the families OF the victims OF the
torpedoing Of the Sussex, we showed
the world that we were going down
before America.
In the beginning, moral indignation
against submarine war in America and
to intimidate us, BY repeated aigns
of weakening, Germany permitted II
to become something more, Even those
In Germany who were so finely ideal
that they deplored the necessity Of sub
marine warfare, realized the fundR-
mental power OF prestige and were
troubled by our acceptance Of Wilson's
knockout note.
BY the decisions of March and May,
1915, weakening u Submarine often
sive, we delivered England from the
most serious, vital danger which a
ever threatened her In the course OF
her history, BY spurning at this time
the salvation Of submarine warfare,
Germany signed away her wi BIRTH
right as one Of the great powers.
In, fact. the record of the wal is a
record of one lost opportunity after
another for Germany to wrest from
England a satisfactory peace. After
the battle off JutlanA n Of h m
peror's close advisors exclaimed:
what a pity And England was so
e granting III peace"
A German naval victory or wen a
drawn battle would have shaken Eng
lands prestige. The effect OF the Coro-
mel battle on neutral powers was con
| vincing proof of this. To wipe out that
defeat England thought it necessary to
draw heavily from her overwhelming
active forces In home waters In order
to prevent a recurrence of such an in
Cident in any other part OF the world.
l believe that uncertainty as to the
ultimate position of Japan was one rea-
son for England's naval policy of ex-
treme caution, The pain becomes al
most u~nbearable when one thinks how
| the face of the world would have been
changed by the effect of a sea battle
fought to q finish In the early months
OF the war, Had the emperor allowed
| himself to be differently advised or fol-
lowed his own instincts to allow the
grand fleet to fight, Germany would
not today lie in ruins.
lit Is curious to note that while Won
| Tirpitz maintains that Germany could
| have won the war by a naval engage
ment in the first months, Admiral Jel-
licoe was criticized in parliament or
the grounds that had the British nav
adopted an offensive policy the war
would have been ended with victory
for the entente in 1sl4-Editor's note,)

ASQUITH REPLIES
T0LORD FRENCH
Says he Sees No Reason To
Qualify a Single Word Of

NEW YORK, Sept 3O.-Former Pre-
mier Asquith, who has just returned
from Italy, has issued a reply to Field
Marshal Lord Freneh's new preface to
his book 1914" In his reply Mr.. As
quith says he sees no reason to with
draw or qualify one word in the
speech he made here on June last,
according to a copyrighted dispatch to
the New York World.
Mr.. AsQuith refers TO compliment

sufficient showing that lit was my
practice when head Of the government
10 convey with all possible emphasis
to the general in supreme command in
the field the expression OF our conf
dence and OF encouragement" As
qUith says these letters we're written
after Lord French's original proposals
had been discarded and subsequent
operations had been conducted with
much sagacity and skill.
IF I had known or suspected" ," adds
AsQuith, what Lord French now
avows-that at the date Of my letter
OF Nay, 1915, he was engaged behind
the back and without the knowledge
Of his official chief, Lord Kitchener,
and OF myself in a maneUver to upset
the government at uOL4G--lL IL pEoU-
able that my communication would
have been couched in somewhat differ

As to Kitchener's conversations with
French about the British supply Of
shells, AsQuith says he did not am
plify on il in his speech in June he
cause Of one thing-it was irrelevant,
and, for another, he believed Kitchen
er was incapable Of 'inventing and
palming OF upon me deliberate
falsehood," and. finally, because, when
IL became a question OF conflict OF
memories, thought Lord KitcheneTs

the day which it took place was bet
ter evidence than Lord French's rec

Wreaths From Weed Battle
American Painter Who
Would Portray Marshal.

PARIS, Sept 3O.-Marshal Foch is
an inveterate smoker. Lately he has
been posing for the American artist.
Cummings Chase, who finds his task
somewhat difficult because the mar
shall lights his cigar at least twenty
times in the space Of an hour, and
at these times the sitter's head dis
appears behind a thick cloud OF
smoke.
True, the artist can glimpse now
and then the end of the graf mans
nose or the tip OF his ear, according
to the vagaries OF the wreaths OF
smoke. But what troubled the paint
er most was his inability to see the
color OF the sitter's eyes, and he was
forced to ask for information on this
subject from the marshal himself
Marshal Foch therefore got up and
advanced toward the painter, but
without removing his cigar and put
ting his face quite close to that Of
Mr.. Chase, said:
Now look for yourself while re-
light my cigar"

SYSTEM FOR D. c.

A vigorous protest against the es-

the District Of Columbia was made
last night by the Trinidad Citizens
Association in the Wheatley School
at a meeting at which nearly 100 resi-
dents of the northeast were present.
Following an address on the subject
by Earl Goodwin, of The Times, the
membership Of the association Unani-
mously, and with no loss Of time, re-
corded themselves as opposed to
being taxed for going to work." and
appointed a committee to be present
at the Public Utilities street railway
hearing today.
The Trinidad Citizens Association
is the latest addition to the list Of
civic organizations in Washington,
and came into being as a protest
against the establishment Of the re-
fuse disposal plant adjacent to Mt.
Olivet Cemetery. This matter was
discussed last night, one Of the COM
mittee having investigated the cOndi-
tiOns near the plant. The report out
lined a condition far from satisfactory
to the membership Of the committee.
Considerable organization business
was cleared of the table, this includ-
ing the adoption Of a constitution and
bylaws. DR.. L. L. Hooper and Presi-
dent d. II. York were elected dele
gates to the Federation Of Citizens
Association. Joseph Hurley, a mem
Der. was indorsed by the association
as its choice for a Board of Education
member. A long list of nominees for
officers and committee memberships
was started last night to be voted on
at the next meeting.
