Diplomats regard the recent state ments of Pol near and Grey aa th opening guna of an Informal peace dlacuatlon. although the expressions of the allied leaders, ranged along side Hollweg'H recant speech, no not appear conciliatory. There haa been no decision whether or not a reply to Potncare and Grey atatementa will be published here, but It la probable a reply will be made.

They believe the time 1 ripe for bringing the belliger ents together. One aald that If peace talk continue! for a few montha each aide will learn enough of what the other wants to bring peace by Oc tober. Holland believes that Asquith and Hollweg might make peace, Wit the Polncare. Kitchener and North cllffe group are anxious to continue the war. Hollanders believe that the war g-nup In England expects America will become Involved with Germany over the submarine issue. While there Is a chance of America becom ing involved they think England should continue the war. The Dutch tire most friendly toward the United States, desiring that America lead the way to peace. I waa surprised when the Dutch asked me when the German food re volt would start. Although food Is short and the shortage may increase, the new government regulations pre vent food demonstrations and pro vide for liveable rations. Nothing like the Irish rebellion is likely here.

Chasing the Vllltstas is like fighting a stubborn fire for as the Americans squelch them in one place they break out In another. American troops have clashed with the main body of Vllltstas four times. In each case the enemy lost heavily and tha force scattered and broken. Thrice the bandits reorganized and recruit ed to almost their original strength. There Is every possibility that they will do so again. Dodd defeated the Vllltstas In a running fight at Guerrero. Pour days later Brown surprised the scattered remnants at Agua Callentes. The only stand that the Vllllstas made was against Dodd at Tomachlc on the 22. Although badly whipped a hundred got together and gave Howse a battle at ojoasules. Nearly half the force was left dead.

Pacificists Are Denounced by T. R. COLOXEL TAKES RAF AT ADMIN- ISTR ATION AND PREPARED NESS FLANS. DETROIT. May l . Roosevelt car ried his message of warning into Ford's bailiwick today. He denounc. ed pacificists methods, raked Wilson's administration and the make-believe preparedness and asserted that only a policy of staunch readiness can keep America in the forefront of the world's affairs. He accused influential Germans of approving the plans of the German American Pacificists In keeping Am erica unprepared and maintaining Germany's readiness. He said he had a friendly feeling and In many respects a genuine admiration toward Ford, but he classified him with the torles of the revolution and the cop perheads of the civil war. He read a letter which a Berlin professor wrote to Professor Appleman of the Univer sity of Vermont, saying that the Ger man-Americans should not vote for more preparedness because should America and Japan go to war, Ger many would probably adopt an atti tude of benevolent neutrality toward Japan. He advocated a standing ar my of a quarter of a million and uni versal military training. The colonel said "The ultra-pad-flclsts made a great showing UllBli ; all. because there has been no real resolute opposition. The adminis tration and a majorlt) of congress have taken no steps toward pre paredness or have done nothing ef ficient to sustain our national right. They have stood for applied peaclfl cism. Although our government has been 96 per cent feeble, the ultra Pacificists have demanded a clear 100 Per cent futility and feebleness. The two great Issues before us are In separably bound together These are Americanism and preparedness. As a people we must decide whether we are able or ready to take car of our selves or whether we doubt our na tional unity and trust partly to a mer ciful providence and partly to elocu tionary ability."
