Cause of Germany Vpheld. , Well known In educational circles for many years. Professor Munsterberg became prominent politically soon after 1he great war began. A German by birth, he presented, in addresses and in written articles, the attitude of the Teutonic allies as he understood it. Gradually he came to be regarded as a spokesman In New England for many Germans and others who favored Ger many. As a result he was brought Into i antroversies with other members of the Harvard faculty, who were out spoken in the defense of the allies. Professor Munsterberg leaves a widow and a daughter. The funeral will be held at the fam ily residence Monday afternoon. Rev. Adolph A. Berle, a close friend of Pro fessor Munsterberg, will officiate at the services, which will be in the Ger man language. -Professor George I". Moore, of Harvard, will deliver an eulogy.

Born in Danzig, Germany in 1863, after distinguished work aa an edu cator in his native land. Professor Munsterberg came to Harvard in 1891 as professor of psychology. In 1910 he returned to Germany as narvaru exchange professor at the University of Berlin. In the following year he organized and became the head of the Amerika Institute of th German gov ernment. At the expiration of his term as exchange professor, in 1912, he re sumed his work at Harvard He was made president o- the American Psy chology Association in 1898.

The laet pub lic message of Professor Munsterberg, who died suddenly in his classroom in Cambridge. Mays., contains a vision of peace and good will, and in it the writer indicated that he believed such a peace was near. The message was tent to a weekly magazine here and made public today on receipt of the news of his death. Of the war, the message fays, "no trace will remain; those who hated most hotly will forget most quickly. Men will look one another In the face with astonishment; the spell will be broken. They simply will not believe laai iney- twuiu nusjuu& cuu . . v . their friend so grossly." The subtle power of our mind to forget will be come mankind's blessing. Aa soon as jieace is secured, we shall keep the peace, not only by harsh method of en forcing It, but the hundred times bet ter method of making it natural. And it can become natural, because all the scorn of today will fall off like the scab of a healing wound. Unless all psychological signs deceive us, after this war ends peace really will be last ing and I feel sure the end of the war is near, the world Christmas tree will le glistening tomorrow; the fragrance of its candles already pervades the world." River sector has been forced may mean that the Teutons actually have crossed that river, along which it had been ex pected the Roumanians would make their next stand. In the vicinity of Ypres and "Wyt schaete German troops delivered an assault southeast of Zillebeke, pene trating the second British line. A further advance of the British army on the Tigris front in Mesopotamia within three-quarters of a mile of that river opposite Kut-el-Amara is re corded. Revolutionary outbreaks In Portugal, accompanied by mutiny of some troops have been quelled. The notes of the German, Austrian and Turkish governments proposing peace negotiations are expected to reach the capitals of the entente pow ers before Monday night. They were forwarded from Washington last Sat urday afternoon by cable and were not accompanied by any expression from the United States Government, but it stated' that President Wilson has re served opportunity to add a word for peace in some way In the future. The transmission of the notes was preceded by a visit by Count von Bern storff, the German Ambassador, to Sec retary of State Lansing, the conclusion of which the Ambassador said they did not discuss peace terms and that the sending of the proposals without comment on the part of the United States Government was a matter for this country to decide. The note to the British government probably will be received in London in time to be read before next Tuesday, when the Premier. David Lloyd George, was to appear before the House of Commons, but it now appears unlikely that his physicians will allow him to speak on that day.
