There are liberal and reasonable men , among them vtrlvlng for peace and for disarmament. In January of 1917. )ut at the mo ment whn the military autocracy brought on war with America by their uddn announcement of ruthlev ub mmrtn warfare, the liberal of Ger many were preparing to co-operate with our President In the effort that he wa then making for peace. A Socialist member of the Keifhstag, a man whoa name la known through out the world, wrote at that time two article to be used In the effort for peace, and I print them In order that those outatd of Germany may obtain a glimpse of the mtnd of one of the leading .Socialist of that country. These art idea have never been published. I frel that now when we are at war with Germany perhap It would cause embarrassment to thl man should I publish hi name. In a country where a man may be sent to Jatl for speaking without respect of some act of the Kaiser ancestor committed more than years ago It la dangerous for any German to put his nam to utter ance whu h jntrtht not march with the wishes of despotic Germany. It ha alwaya been the desire of the Kaisers government to draw the allies into a peace conference, with the hope of detaching some of the allies from their combination. Perhaps these arti cle, atthourh written by a Socialist, were part of a clever government peace propaganda to which the majority aocimltsts so readily lent themselves during the tear 11?. Itut on the other hand t think these articles represent fie sncere. real expression of the writer, who la still a member of the minorttv. or Haase. faction of the Ger man SfcfM-ialist party. Though written a war ico, they discus points still un - ied and which must come before the p-A conference that settlt the war; Haw .artej fat Help Europe. pv v Member of the RetrhMag. "The Immediate replv of the central powtr to President Alison's note t Pe eember. 1M4 ha been a polite refusal to indicate. peond some generalities open to the blame of ambiguttv. In a clear way what ttvetr demands of peace would be. It hJ been followed by their note to the neutrals of the llth of Jan toarv. which also avoid giving a dis tinct delineation of thrir demands. The central power maintain that only a peace conference of the bettlarerents themselves would be the proper pl.ice to bring forth the respective peace rod . :rn. and they state ther wtll produce their when once the confer ence has met. Putting aside every in sinuation of motives, one cannot help being reminded by thl of the attitude of th central powers during the fate ful 11 day of July-August. 114. when they refused any outside mediation and Insisted on direct conversation be tween Russia and Austria, while the punitive military expedition of the lat ter against 8erbla had to take It course. In so far their uggetioa would not augur well for th execution. "The entente allies, on their side, have been somewhat more explicit. Their answer to President Wilson In cludes th delineation of demand that certainly are open to criticism, bnt Just for this call for a reply or even compel it. At the time these line are written only newspaper comments have so far coma forward, and it is not nec essary to dwell upon these. Nor doe It seem appropriate to anticipate the reply of the Chancellor, which In some form or other will surely be given In the course of the next week. What matter It that there 1 a programme given for discussion and we are able to scrutinise It nature and bearing The demand explicitly or Implicitly contained In the note of the allies ca be summarized under five heads, via.

"Of these, the demands under 1 are certainly In their principle quit reasonable, and If It come to actua and exact formulation are apt to tea to a fair agreement. "The demand under 1 are partly on principle also unobjectionable, whil some, a a. i. the cession of the Polls province of Prussia to a Polish state under Kusalan tutelage or the cession of the European vilayet of Turkey to Russia or some newly created eommun Ity under Russian tutelage, can hardly be supported by reasonable argumen the face of the fact that they could only be carried out by dictation afte complete and crushing victory of th allies over the central power, that to say. after a prolonged war more murderous and more embittered th that behind us.

"Both th allies and the central pow- r agree to tn Idea of settling these atter question In a better way than before; L e , by an International league of the nation to enforce peace. But both want the creation of thl league be settled after the war. It can. owever, with good reason be upheld hat there ta In thl a fault agalnat logic which would have to be paid for early by them as well a by the neu ral world. Hot n base a n um be r of heir demand on the necessity of pro tecting themselves a a Inst renewed on- aught by their opponent. Now. such protection might be a ecessary thing under the present state of an international law which ha been outraged and partly been made Inane by themselves and ha partly turned out not to meet the condition of mod ern warfare a they result from the modern weapon of destruction. But I: would be made unnecessary or It requirements be greatly reduced If the !eague of the Nallona. such a 1 tn principle accepted by them, did already exist or had its rules and regulations already laid down In detail. Is It rea sonable to allow thin contradiction to cause now Innumerable death and mu tilation of human being and un bounded destruction of material wealth Instead of seeking means to dissolve It as early as possible? Ought not all our wit be exerted to find this earlier solution? There are within the mean of the neutral. If acting together, two way to bring the war to an earlier end than that to be expected from the free de cision of the belligerents. The one Is to drop all consideration of neutrality such a at present regarded and. with out directly supporting the one section to the detriment of the other, with draw from both of them all supplies In food, raw material, half and wholly manufactured goods, not mind ing what section would by thla be more damaged than It opponent. In fact. It would moat likely be a decidedly unneutral measure against the one section which now benefits more than the other by these supplies, and be cause of this and xrom otner reasons there Is little probability that It would find general acceptance. The other ay I to reduce the Justification of the continuation of the war by mfn Imlxing the object for which It la led in th belief of the great masse of the people engaged as much a In the ee of the outside world. "Both belligerent, to T It again, put in the line of their requirements security against renewed attack, pro tection aaralnst the continuation of the lr security of peace. Both admit that the proposed legu of th Nations ha become a neceestty; both admit that It might indeed protect mankind agalnat new wars and a atate of In cessantly endangered peace. Why then alt and let the disaster go on In stead of proceeding; at one to lay the foundation of thl league The tep i not to Impossible a it might appear." i Continued Tomorrow.) 509 ACCIDENTS IN WEEK Industrial fomnil'ilon Hrport Firr I'atalitlr. in 7-lr Period.'.

This written confirmation I promised tomorrow. In brief, the Shipping; Board has agreed To amend it regulations, ac cording to suggestion made by Sen ator McNary, so that private capita may build at Portland for privat American account, and receive asur anre that It can complete and turn over to the owners ships of 3000 3?rtO tons, such ships to be operated, after completion.

Until the capitalists Interested In th new project receive the written ruling of the Shipping Hoard, they decline to give details of the project they hav mlnd. It I known, however, tna thl building company ha already con traded with an operating company to build 130 ships of the ise stated, th hip to coit approximately fjOO.OOO each. But this figure doe not represent th maximum investment to be made Portland, for the Delaware concern to take (fr an existing shipyard at or near Portland and expand It by adding new ways, new shopa and new equii ment. The amount of Initial Investrnen Is being withheld for the present, as la the Identity of the yard to b ac quired. The Delaware company has option on all the property It intends to acquire. feaal.r Keada 1-etter. The ruling of the Shipping Board Is based upon a letter written by Senator McNary and left with Chairman Hurley at a conference last night. In this let ter the Senator set forth conditions which the new shipbuilding company deemed fair and reasonable, and con denied the argument In sapport of an amendment to existing regulations. The Senator' letter In part reads as fol low: I submit briefly the following propo sitlon: A large and financially stronx Kastern concern desires to operate shipyards In the West for the purpose of constructing wooden vessels for use n the Pacific Ocean. This company Is position to command equipment or Ita veaoels without embarrassment to the Government and desire to con tract on private account only. Tou are well aware that the present programme doe not Invite private cap Ital to invest In ships In view or the uncertainties of delivery, consequently submit to you an outline of a ruling hlch would be corrective of present conditions: That wooden shipyard not em ployed In the construction of wooden hips for this Government shall be free to contract with private interests not hostile to the cause of the entente Hies) J or the construction of wooden hips: such ships to be built by Ameri can organisations and sailed under the flag of the United States of America; (earners to be approximately 3ui)0 tons deadweight capacity. blB. at Aaxlllary Type. That any wooden ships that such concerns shall contract to DUim. witnin the limitations of this ruling and under ny contract dated prior to further or der by thl Government changing uch limitations, they, the said con cerns, shall be free to build, complete nd deliver to the parties entitled to the same under the contract.' 'The ships that are anticipated to be built by the parties who are seeking to place orders are to be of the auxili- ry type. The auxiliary machinery will not in any way complicate the or- era placed by the Government at pres- nt aa to propulsion machinery. As stated by th proposed pur- haaera. they will require nothing that at preaent used in the marine steam nglne; will require no boiler or steam piping, etc. The ehips are to be driven by Internal combustion engines driven by electric generator and propulsion being by motor from aid generators. Pla.t. ta Re K.l.rgrd. The ships will be constructed st ex- ting yarda or plants, embodying, of course, any extensions thereof neces sary to complete contracts. I shall be very glad to hear from you concerning this situation without delay, aa the parties Interested are anxloua to proceed." ... Chairman Hurley.

(Spe- al. ) The Idaho criminal syndicalism aw is on trial at Coeur d'Alene today. Aa the trial of William M. Nelson. former secretary of the I. W. W. brunch at St. Maries, took definite form this morning it became apparent that the state counts the conviction or acquittal of the defendant very Important. The evidence upon which the prose cution depends is of such a nature as completely to outlaw I.-W. W. organ izing in Idaho, if it is shown, to be suf ficient to convict Xelson. Hundreds of pounds of -literature seized in one of the St. Maries halls in a raid last Winter will be introduced ir the record by the state' attorneys. Special Prosecutor Thomas H. Elder, Attorney-General T. A. Walters and Prosecuting Attorney Holsclaw, of Benewah County.1 Three large boxes and a suitcase containing contraband printed matter are to be introduced. "The scissors bill" black "sabcaf and the wooden shoe, indicating re spectively the "scab." the method of in timidating fiim, and the tactics to be used against the employer, made their appearance this morning among the number of stickers which were shown the Jury. "Whenever you speed up or work long hours you are scabbing on the unemployed," says one sticker. "Slow down," another reads in large letters. Noland, who was on the stand all morning, appeared unconcerned throughout the proceedings. He read a newspaper while the attorneys ar gued their objections. New books on sabotage, one by Eliza beth Gurley Flynn and the other by Amile Pouget; seem to be the strongest link In the state's chain of evidence. The former writer says: "I am not going to attempt to Justify sabotage on any moral grounds. Its necessity is the excuse for its exist ence." . The trial will probably extend throughout Saturday and may run over to Monday. EUGENE TEACHER RESIGNS Guy Dyar Accepts Position in U. O. Extension Department. of EUGENE, Or., March 29. CSpecial.)
