A telegram waa sent to the expo altlon official courteously declining the flattering offer made to repro duce the frontier exhibition there and expressing appreciation of the tribute paid the Round-up by the of fer. The Impossibility of transplanting the spirit of the Round-up, the gi gantic task nn attempt to put on the Ehow In San Francisco would Impose upon the directors, an Inherent Jealousy of the Pendleton show and a desire to keep It free from the con tamination of commercialism conf bined to form an Insurmountable ob jection to accepting the generous of fer of the exposition people.

If any attempt Is to be made to stage the show In any other city than that of the Round-up's na tivity. Portland Is entitled to the pre ference because of her loyalty to and patronage of the show, In the opinion , of the directors. .

SeDt. i Go rmlnv wants peace on these terms: Estab lished freedom of the seas; freedom f the conquered territory of Poland from Russia: the granting of lnnlln. able rights to Jews of all nations. It was with the obiect of nnonlno- the way and iecuring the cooperation of the United States toward peace that Germany has acceded to Ameri ca's interpretation of International law and accepted the terms laid down by the president under which the kaiser's submarine warfare should be conducted.

The statement, em anating from the German rmhuiiv. came from an authoritative, though unofficial, source. Germanv believes she has a common cause with tha United States In the strucclA for freedom of the seas. Six months ago peace might have been obtained by the allies granting- to Germany this single right for which the imperial government maintains it is fighting. Sim then, however, Poland has been conquered, and wtth the Rus sians driven from the ancient king dom, the provisions of Polish free dom is added to Germany's terms of peace. Continuing, the informant of the United Press said the allies must an swer to civilization not only for th inception of the war but for each hour's continuance of the conflict. A year from now peace may be possible only through greater concessions from the allied powers, as Germany's victories will have mounted, the In formant declared. It was reiterated that Germany never wasted war, and that the imperial government Is, and has been, willing at any hour since August last to make advances toward nn honorable peace. The settlement of the principle at issue between Germany and the United States In the submarine ques tion is regarded as of secondary Im portance In the presentation of the note to the state department yester day it was stated.
