Germans Begin Efforts
10 Regain Allied Trade

TREVES, April (By The Associated
Press ss).-Determined attempts by the
Germans to reestablish commercial re-
latlons with the allied countries as
soon as possible are revealed through
an examination of correspondcnce
which, under an authorization issued
recently, is now passing from the
American area Of occupation through
censors to France, England and the
United States. All mail for destina-
tions outside the occupied zone passes
through the hands Of the American
censors in Treves.
A large percentage Of the corre-
spondcncc during the last few days it
Is said, has contained offers or re-
quests for business relations and even
advertlscm for insertion in British
ana American newspapers. The let
ters for the United States generally
contained offers to establish branches
FOR American automobiles, clothing
and various other lines.
The tone Of the letters indicates that
the Germans consider that the war was
an involuntary agency which tempo
rarily ruDtured trade relations. and
several letters suggested that both
sides should now prepare to resume
prc-war relations.

Preacher Warns President
of Danger i'll Delay Of
Righteous Peace; League
of Nations Can Wait
Regrets His Isolation
Speaks at War Anniversary
Service at Cathedral OF
St. John the Divine

The Rev. Dr. Ernest NJ. Stiros,
preaching in the Cathedral of st. John
the Divine yesterday afternoon, said;
president Wilson possesses quail
ties of which we are proud, but I would
not speak the truth if evaded the fact
that he frequently causes us great
anxiety.
1--WE regret the expression of his
views in general terms when a crisis
requires plain speech and definite &C
ton. We regret his dangerous isola-
ton and unwillingness to take counsel
with his fellow citizens.
1--WE pray that he may never expert
ence such criticism and abuse as Wash
ington and Lincoln knew
And yet we dare tell him, for the
sake of America and the world, that
ne must not compromise with anarchy
in our name; that we pray he will per-
nit no persistent personal preference
to dslay righteous peace; that his
country needs him at this time of vast
opportunity; that Congress should be
in session transacting the congested
business Of the nation, and that unless
our Chief Executive provides for his
own nation the relief which is in his
power there will be no true peace in
America"
On War Anniversary
The occasion of DR.. STRESS statement
was q special service in commemoration
OF the second anniversary of Americas
declaration Of war. DR.. Stires is the
rector of st. Thomas's Episcopal
Church, on Fifth Avenue
DIR. Stlres said: Two years ago
America declared war on Germany. One
year ago we were unhappy as the great
German drives seemed resistless. But
we arrived in time to stem the German
tide.
I'VE are at peace now, but then again
the mind and heart of the nation are
not at rest. Our anxiety is not the
inevitable reaction from the terrific
tension OF an unparalleled war. We are
fearing lest once again we may not
know the things which belong to our
peace or may not obtain true peace by
honest payment. Never more has Amer
lea desired 10 do what is right.
Give months have elapsed since the
armistice, and a prompt peace has
been prevented by the urgency for the
league of nations as part of the treaty,
The responsibility for this is largely
American
Those who thought the principle
of self determination and new boun-
daries would result in delay have
been justified
Has Lost Prestige
I'VE are not surprised to hear that
the peace conference has lost prestige
IN Europe.

But we cannot wait much longer
