 Peace Proposals

LONDON, Oct. 7.-Dominion Sec retary Eden told the British Com monwealth and Nations of the world that Great Britain is determined to fight the war with Germany to a finish
 Although Eden made no direct allusions to Chancellor Hitlers Reichstag speech, neutral diplomats interpreted the Dominion Secretary s words as an answer to Hitler's peace suggestions.
 Eden spoke on an Empire radio hookup, which linked eighteen mem bers of the British Empire.
 Said he: There are times when the greatest contribution we can make to peace is to stand firm for those things in which we believe" {"
 The Dominion Secretary said that the British Empire had decided that the rule of violence must end and that all nations must be able to exist without threat to their peace and security.

Count Won Bernstorff, Who
 Warned Germany AboufUS.
 In World War, Passes Away

GENEVA, Oct. 2. = Count vor Bernstorff, German Ambassador tc Washington when the United States entered the World War, is dead here as the result of a heart disease.
 Count Johann Heinrich von Bern- storff was the last Ambassador tC represent Imperial Germany in the United States and was the only one of the pre-war diplomats wht was retained in the active service of the German Republic.
 In the belief of Republican Ger man opinion, von Bernstorff wa; not to blame for Americas entry into the World War and the feeling was general that he did everything possible to avert that step. In sup port of that contention it was point ed out that he had warned the Will helmstrasse what would happen il the unrestricted submarine warfare were prosecuted, but his warnings went unheeded.
 His pre-war record, therefore was regarded as no hindrance tc his postwar activities in the gov ernment.
 Was Artillery Officer
 Previous to his appointment as Ambassador to the United States ir 1908, Count von Bernstorff hao served eight years as an artillery officer and 13 years in the diplo- matic service. His American mis- sion came to an end in the third year of the World War when the United States in February, 1917 severed diplomatic relations with Germany. The Ambassador returned to Europe on a Danish vessel after being subjected to a thorough search by the British at Halifax.
 Back in Berlin, Count von Bern storff was obliged to wait two months before being received by the Emperor At their meeting the Kai- ser was said to have avoided all earnest discussion of the issue at stake The opinion still prevailed that the submarine warfare would finish the Americans before they could set foot on European soil.
 Quits-Recalled
 VonBernstorff quit the service in May, 1917, but was recalled to ac- tive duty when his friend Richard von Kuehlmann became Foreign Minister in August that year. He then accepted the post of Ambassa- dor to Turkey.
 After the revolution von Bern- storff in March, 1919, was made chairman of the Foreign Office Committee to compile the material for the German delegation to the Versailles Peace Conference. With the completion of that work four months later he became active in politics as a member of the demo- cratic party, which sent him to the Reichstag in 1921.

TRAGEDY OF WAR VISITED
 ON BOLTON; NO GAS MASKS
 FOR SALE; SHIPS zIGzAG
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. T. One tragedy of the war was visited upon a young fellow named Cotton.
 Cotton is a bachelor writer for the National Geographic. Remember that he is bachelor, Two months ago he was assigned as the writer member of a scientific group going into the South seas to study flora and fauna.
 Of all fine places in the world, their center of operation was to be Bali.
 The expedition was fully organ ized. A U. s. Coast Guard cutter had been assigned from the Pacific side to take the party out and at tend to it's wants. Then came the war. Just two
 days before Cotton and the
 party were to leave Washing
 ton, the Coast Guard cutter was
 ordered to the Atlantic to pre-
 vent Germany submarines from
 annoying flora and fauna along
 our east coast. The expedition
 folded at once. Cotton will re-
 main in Washington.
 War Note: Applications for com- missions in the army and navy of- ficers' reserve corps have increased steadily. The navy would like to get a bigger reserve of naval architects but instead gets flock of applica- tions from lawyers wanting to join the non- -combatant Judge Advocate Generals division.
 Peace Note: The only gas mask in the State Department
 has been removed. It was part
 of a War Department exhibit
 and went down to the Muni-
 tions building on the banks of
 the Potomac when the War De-
 pertinent had to clear out to
 make way for the Presidents
 executive staff. Our observations
 indicate not gas mask can be
 bought here.

No telling of sails and sailors

From time immemorial young and

From time immemorial young and
old have felt the call OF the sea.
Interest in all things nautical has
quickened in America in recent
years, possibly under the influence
of our sea-going President. AS a
result, questions about ships and
sailing, motor boating and cruising
have multiplied at the Public Lii
brary, Eighth and K streets NV.
Those recently asked include: How
are yacht clubs formed? What are
the regulations for navigating
Chesapeake Bay? How do you build
a small motor boat? What sails
are essential on q three-masted
schooner?
At the present time, with Presi-
dent Roosevelt just returned from
viewing the maneuvers OF the fleet,
interest naturally is heightened in
the Navy. There are number of
books available at the libraries deal
ing with 1t, among them Charles
A. Boards "The Navy: Defense or
Portent"; F. r. Bechowsky's "1s the
Navy Ready" and Fletcher Pratt's
Navy, History"
However, most people are inter-
ested in the sea from the standpoint
of their own pleasure. They want
the keen enjoyment Of salt spray
dashing over the bow Of their own
boat. For them the Public Library
offers books Of interest to both anna
teurs and professionals, among them
