Peace Terms, in Case Of Victory,
Prepared in 1914

Paris. April 29.--The terms that
Matthias Erzberger was in favor Of i'm
posing on the Allies if Germany had
been victorious as SET forth in a.
memorandum written by him in 1914
are outlined by q Geneva dispatch
to the Journal having been received
at Geneva from the private secretary
Of the late Kurt Eisner. the former
Be,varian premier.
Germany, III the first place, can
not tolerate the presence on her
frontiers Of so-called neutral states
insuficiently strong to preserve their
neutrality or which do not want to
remain neutral, said Erzberger.
Her second aim must be to free
herself from the insupportable lead
ing strings Of England on all cues
tons of world policy. In the third
place she must break up the Russian
colossus.
"Consequently Germany must have
sovereignty not only over Belgium.
but the French coast from Dunkirk
to Boulogna and possession of the
Channel Islands. She must also take
the mines in French Lorraine and
create al African German empire by
anneAlng liC belSla0 anu Fench
Congos, British Nigeria, Dahomey and
the French west coast.
Tn fixing indemnities, the actual
capacity Of a state at the moment
should no. be considered Besides a
large immediate payment annual in
5tallnents spread over 4 long period
could be arranged. France would be
helped III making them by decreasing
her budget OF naval and military ap-
preparations the reductions to be i'm
posed III the peace treaty being such
as would enable her to send substan-
tial sums 10 Germany. Indenlfities
should provide for the repayment of
the full costs of the war and the dam
ages of war, notably in East Prussia,
: the redemptio of all of Germany s
public debt and the creation of a vast
furd for ncapacitated soldiers

GOVT. INSURANCE is
CARRIED ONE MONTH
Discharged Men Given That Time
to Renew Their Premiums

Washington, April 30.-G overnnaent
insurance on lives of soldiers and
sailors will be continued automatically
in effect for one month after the end
Of the month in which a man is dis
charged from the service, even lie the
man does not pay his premiums,
Henry D. Lindsey, director of the
War Risk Insurance bureau an
nounced today. If a man died within
that time the insurance would be paid.
but after that time the policy is con-
sidered lapsed and will be lost unless
application has been made for rein
statement. A lapsed policy will be
aeinstated if application for this is
made within six months.
Another new ruling of the bureau
is that physical disability of a dis
charged soldier will be recognized
after his discharge, even though
records show he was sound on leaving
the service. Many men in their anx-
lety to be discharged claim to be phy-
sically sound, though they may ba
partly isabled, and subsequently de-
Yelop ailments which entit1e them to
free treatment in government hos
pitfalls
The War Risk bureau is anxious to
hear from this two classes of persons:
First--Discharged soldiers or sailors
who are partly disabled who need
free treatment in government hospi-
tails or sanitariums, or who are en-
titled to compensation which they are
not receiving on account of disability.
Second-Soldiers' or sailors de-
pendents who have changed their ad-
dresses and who, consequently. are
not receiving allotment and allowance
checks to which they are entitled.
More than 100000 checks now are
held by the bureau for persons who
have moved without reporting their
new addresses.
