A STATEMENT IN JUSTICE TO
FACTS.

With reference to an item pub
lished in the last issue Of THE
NEWS regarding the collision OF an
automobile and a motorcycle, on the
NEWS was misinformed in some
particulars, and we were in
error in stating that the auto
mobile did not stop. but con-
tinued on it's journey without Offer
ing assistance to the injured men.
The facts. as learned later, but too
late for publication. were that. the
car did stop, and the occupants
proffered all assistance in their
power, and that they offered to
bring the men to the Massie Memo
rial Hospital, in this city. They
hailed another car passing. driven
by Mr.. Ben Parker, en- route to
Paris, and helped place the men in
it. The accident, as it developed in
the light of facts brought forward.
was clearly unavoidable, as both
machines skidded at the same time.
This statement is given in justice
to the occupants of the automobile,
and to set at rest malicious rumors
regarding the responsibility for the
accident.

BERNSTORFF IS NOT
choice OF germany
Report He Is to Be Peace Delegate
Denied by President
HUNS HAVE new PROPOSALS
Teutonic Plans for Peace Include
League OF Nations, WOrkingmcn s
Protection and International Court
TO Settle Disputes.

Weimar, Feb. 13 (By The Associated
Press )-Count Won Bernstorff will not
go to the peace conference as a Ger
man delegate; Germany plans, for the
time being, at least, q peoples army
on the basis of general conScriptiOn;
Germany will announce in q few days
her intention to carry out complete
disarmament and demobilization, and
a commission made up Of center, dem
ocratic and socialist parties now is dis
cussing details Of tho new govern
mental program.
These points were made by Fried
rich Ebert, the new president of Ger
many, in an informal talk with for
eign newspaper men today
Germans Arc DisaTming.
The question of disarmament was
first raised, since reports of the peace
conference in Paris indicate that it is
occupying Il largo place in discussions
there. President EDcrt astonished his
hearers by declaring that a commits
sion was already working on the prob
lem. He said Germany in future was
going to have only an army of de-
fense. 1t was at the very cnd of his
talk that he admitted that this guard
will be raised by consCription and he
left the room before further details
could be elected.
He said that the assurance that the
borders of the country will be pro-
tccted was absolutely essential, al
though he would welcome universal
disarmament which would make such
protection unnecessary
Socialism in business.
He declared an understanding had
already been reached by which various
branches of industry VIII be united
and operated socialstically, adding
that only monopolized business will
be socalized.
AS to 'foodstuffs in Germany, he said
he regarded the situation very
gloomy, since the conditions are very
hard. Germany, he said, has but
minimum number of foreign securi-
ties with which she can purchase food.
Looks for Future Prosperity.
"Our gold, as the whole world
knows has, in large part, gone to the
IIntente,' he said. "AH the gold and
securities now on hand would not suf-
flee to cover more than the most urg-
ent needs. Germany would be glad
to repay honorably and uprightly as
soon as possible. If food and raw ma
terials are furnished and Germany is
given assistance toward rehabilitation,
y believe the economic and general
situation can be brought into an or
derly and progressive path"
BcrnstorT Is Disclaimed.
Count Rantzau. the foreign minis
ter in the provisional cabinet; Dr. Ed
Guard David, the president of the ma
tional assembly and many persons ex-
perienced on economic lines, he said.
would probably attend the peace con-
ference for Germany, but not Bern
storff.'' 1t was the first time that
Count Won BernstOrff's participation,
which has been advertised freely, was
denied authOritatively. The German
peace delegates, President Ebert con-
tinued, will appear with definite pro-
posals, including plans for a league Of
nations, work Smen's protective laws
and a court to decide international
disputes.
