u. S. BARES GERMAN
1917 PEACE TERMS.
Demanded Slice OF France
and Indemnities, CabIegram
From Gerard Says.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Germany's price for peace two
months before America entered the
World War was revealed today by the
State Department as "a slice OF
France" and general allied indemnities.
The information was contained In
q hitherto unpublished cablegram from
Ambassador James w. Gerard on FEB
ruary 4, 1917 to President Wilson 1t
was part of a 708-page compilation OF
official correspondence made public by
the State Department.
Even If there is war;" it said, Ger
man military calculate they can
starve England before America can do
anything These people have only one
god-force"
IF you decide to make any threats"
Gerard advised the President, threat
en- war Germans not afraid of break
OF diplomatic relations, which simply
means they can go ahead and do what
they please and attack us If they win. )"
Wanted Indemnities From Everybody.
The German chancellor, he reported
had spoken to him of 1.-The great hatred
the military and naval people have
for America"
The German terms for peace at that
Germany to give up Belgium. but
retaining so-called guarantees such as
railroads, forts, garrison, ports, COM
mercial control, etc; slice of France
through rectification of frontier will
only give back a small part of Serbia.
and Bulgaria can do as she likes with
Rumania and everybody must pay in
IDENTITIES to Germany. etc"
Gerard added that 'if Bernstorff
(the German Ambassador has given
the President any other terms he is
fooling him, but do not quote me to
Bernstorff."
The untold story Of an attempt by
President Wilson to induce Austria
Hungary to make peace shortly before
the United States entered the war also
was disclosed.
Inducement Offered Austria.
Secret messages also showed Presi-
dent Wilson offered inducement to
Austria Hungary to forsake the Ger
man cause. He pledged that a pre-
viously expressed intention of the allies
to disrupt the empire state by Separat-
ing Hungary and Bohemia from Austria
would not be carried out.
The effort formed a part Of the gen.
eral attempt made by the American
Government in December, 1916 and
the early months of 1917 to bring
peace before being forced into the war
1t failed when the AuStro- Hungarian
Government refused to associate itself
from Germany in negotiations for
peace or in the conduct of submarine
warfare.
The State Departments disclosures
marked the second time this week ii
has opened to the public musty records
that have been secreted in its archives
for more than a decade
Another lengthy compilation showed
the efforts of the American Govern
ment to keep Russia in the war on the
side of the allies through a campaign
Of propaganda and financial support.
