GERMAN SOCIALIST
PEACE MOVE BEGUN
Autonomous Alsace-Lorraine,
Retirement From Belgium,
No Annexation Suggested.
RUSSIA NOT CONSIDERED
Durable Settlement Regarded as
More Likely to Result From Deal
ing "With France and England.
" End of War Is Foreseen.
THE HAGUE, via London, April 22.
The Socialists of Germany are making
an earnest effort to seek for a basis on
which the cessation of the war can be
brought about. Dr. Breltscheidt, a
prominent member of the German So
cialist party, is now in Holland con
sulting the Dutch Socialist leaders, with
a view to fretting into communication
with the British and through them with
the French Socialists in an endeavor
to bring- pressure to bear on the vari
ous governments.
It is declared that the German Social
ists are virtually unanimous in favor of
peace and against any annexation of
territory. It is said that although the
Socialist newspapers in Germany are
not permitted, under penalty of suspen
sion, to publish criticisms of the gov
ernment and express skepticism re
garding the results of the war, at a
meeting where only members of the
party were admitted, and from which
the police were absent, free discussion
in favor of peace took place.
Autonomous Province Favored.
The general view of the Socialists, it
Is said, is that Alsace and Lorraine
should belong to neither France nor
Germany, but should be autonomous.
The argument is that If France re
captures the provinces a rankling for
vengeance would be held by a large
part of the population, which, it is
asserted, does not desire to be gov
erned by the French, and that there
fore the situation would be as bad as
ver. ,
It Is reported that the great East
Prussian landowners are trying to treat
for peace with Russia, owing to fears
that their property will suffer, but the
Socialists are said to have expressed
the opinion that the prospects of a dur
able peace are more likely through an
arrangement of terms by Germany
with France and England and by evacu
ating Belgium.
Neutral Dardanelles A'ot Feasible.
With reference to the Dardanelles, it
Is declared that the German Socialists
believe that it will not be feasible to
internationalize or neutralize the straits
until a United States of Europe has
been formed. They assert that the fu
tility of neutrality already has been
shown.
The Socialists of Germany assert that
it will be impossible to starve Ger
many, but express the belief that the
war cannot continue much longer in
consequence of the disastrous effect on
the economic conditions of all the coun
tries engaged.
COUNCIL OUSTS MAYOR
WESTPORT EXECUTIVE DEPOSED
AS NON-RKSIDENT OF CITY.
Lone Councilman Who Stand by-Official
Also Loses Place as
Police Justice.
ABERDEEN. Wash.. April 22. (Spe
cial.) The City Council of Westport,
16 miles west of here, last night sum
marily deposed I E. Cook from the
office of Mayor and appointed William
Ingram, a former resident and Coun
cilman of Aberdeen, in his stead. The
action against Mayor Cook was taken
because he resides outside the city
limits and it was contended that there
fore he could not hold the Mayor's of
fice. Political feeling is said to be be
hind the affair, together with dissatis
faction in certain quarters over Mr.
Cook's conduct of city affairs.
Coincident with Mayor Cook's retire
ment, Fred D. Hill, Councilman, lost
his place as Police Justice. Mr. Hill
was the only member of the Town
Council to oppose Cook's removal. He
contended that the Council had no au
thority to depose the Mayor, but that
legal proceedings to oust him should
be instituted or that he should be re
called by a vote of the city. He also
urged that a request for the Mayor's
resignation should be made.
The Council voted against him on all
points, and then declared the Mayor's
chair vacant, following this action by
electing: Mr. Ingram.

Everett, Wash., Youth Tells of
Capture and Destruction
by German Warship.
CAPTIVES TREATED KINDLY
Food Not Good, but Kaiser's Men
and Prisoners Fare Alike and
Latter Are Permitted to See
Other Vessels Sunk.
Duane Tweeddale, 19 years old, a
resident of Everett. Wash., who was
on the American bark William P. Frye
when it was captured by the German
auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrlch
January 28 off the west coast of South
America, arrived in Portland yester
day as quartermaster on the American-Hawaiian
steamship Hawaiian.
The Frye was sunk by the German
warship.
Tweeddale said that while his ex
perience had been unpleasant at times,
the Germans were kind to their cap
tives. He saw no cruelty on board the
Eitel Friedrich and received the same
kind of food that was given to the
German sailors.
"We sailed from Puget Sound No
vember 6. bound for Queenstown fof
orders," said Tweeddale. "On board
were Captain H. Kienhe. a crew of 31
and the captain's wife and two daugh
ters. Our cargo was wheat.
Germans Offer Pay.
"On the afternoon of January 27 we
were sighted by the Eitel Friedrich,
which was sinking the Russian bark
Isabella when we came along. Cap
tain Theirckens. in command of the
German ship, placed an armed guard
on board our ship and told us that we
would have to dump part of our cargo
overboard, leaving just enough for bal
last. He said that he would pay us 50
cents an hour for working daytime and
75 cents at night.
"The Eitel Friedrich then sighted
the French bark Pierre Lot! and, tak
ing off its' provisions and crew, sank it
about 10 P. M. At 1 o'clock in the
morning of January 28 the German
cruiser returned and said that we
would have to leave the Frye in the
morning, as our ship was to be sunk
at 5 o'clock. We took off provisions
and then lowered the lifeboats contain
ing ourselves and our belongings. The
reason we were told to unload the Frye
was because the Germans wanted to
get dynamite in the hold near the skin
of the ship
"I don't think that they ever had
any intention of paying us for our
work. The Frye was dynamited and
went down at 7:40 A. M.
Ships Caught in Calm.
"The French bark Jacobsen was
sunk by a shot on the saYne aftenoon.
the crew having been removed along
with provisions for them. All these
ships were caught in a calm and had
collected together.
"We then traveled east and west at
a speed of four knots while looking
for other victims. February 9 the Nor
wegian bark Thallasse, bound for
Sweden, was sighted, but was allowed
to go unharmed, as it was a neutral
ship bound for a neutral port."
The sinking of other vessels was de
scribed in about the same words used
by the German commander on reach
ing Newport News.
"The French mail steamer Florida
was picked up through her location
becoming known by a wireless signal,"
said Tweeddale. "She was dynamited
and almost burned up before sinking.
"Not once did we sight a German
ship of any sort, but the captured ves
sels furnished coal and provisions for
the Eitel Frederick.
"The citizens of neutral nations
were kept aft, while those of . the
enemy were placed forward. I un
derstand that the women and children
from the French mail steamer were
very sick. If there was scurvy on
board or beri berl I didn't see any
cases.
Watching of Sinking; Allowed.
"Our food was not very good, but it
was the same as the Germans ate.
Coffee and black bread for breakfast
and in the evening, at noon we got
some kind of a stew and tea.- We had
vegetables when the Germans had
them, and there 'was no cruelty on
board.
"When a ship was sighted we were
ordered below, but if it were the ship
of an enemy we were allowed to re
turn to deck and watch the passen
gers taken off and the vessel sink.
The disagreeable conditions were due
to sleeping in the open in cold weather
as we neared Hampton Roads, and to
the women having to occupy the same
quarters as the men in the forward
part of the ship.
"On the morning of March 10 when
we awakened an officer announced
that we were anchored in Hampton
Roads. Virginia. The entire trip had

DR. GAEBELEIN SPEAKS
"THE GREAT JEWISH ftCESTlOS" IS
TOPIC AT WHITE TEMPLE.
Lecturer Declares Race Will Vet Be
One Through Which Others Will Be
Blessed Scripture Quoted.
A large number of Jewish men and
women were among those who heard
Dr. A. C. Gaebelein give his address
Tuesday night in the White Temple,
where he spoke on "The Great Jewish
Question," which was one of the series of
sermons he is giving this week in con
nection with the Bible Conference un
der the auspices of several of the city's
churches.
Dr. Gaebelein said that the Jewish
race would yet be the one through
which others would be biessed. It only
remained, he said, "for the Jews to
realize that Christ is the Son of God."
The speaker cited instances of Jews
who had been converted to Christianity
and who had been among the foremoBt
workers for the cause.
The Scriptures were quoted freely In
support of Dr. Gaebelein's convictions.
He said that although God had pre
dicted many sorrows and wanderings
for the Jewish race, he had never said
that these conditions would continue
for all time. The speaker said, "Their
eyes will be opened. They will be
brought home. The Jewish people in
reality gave salvation to the Gentiles.
God wants to provoke the Jew to jeal
ousy. His salvation will yet be given
to the Jew.
"Four hundred years ago the Jews
were driven out of Spain. Today every
thing in Spain is mortgaged to the
Jew. When the great day comes and
the scattered nation shall be received
back, how great will be the fulness
of its riches."
