"On the fifth day after the Pres

clerks of counties and cities of over
30,000 must secure a supply of

COPENHAGEN, May 7. "Any
German peace proposal now simply
Indicates the determination of a tre
mendously organized and still pow
erful nation to gain Its own ends,"
said American Minister Maurice Egan
today in warning the American peo
ple through the United Press. He
appealed to his fellow countrymen
not to be decoyed by German peace
duplicity, and not to slacken war
preparations under the mistaken im
pression that Germany would really
quit.
"Relaxation of American pre
paredness . would only in
crease the contempt of power
ful Germany, tor the. United States,'-'
he declared." "Advices from Stettin
and elsewhere show that while food
conditions are bad. the people -are
hoping for victory, and are willing
to. make, further sacrifices. '.
"Any peace suggestions made how'
are aimed merely, to eliminate Rus
sia from the ranks of the Allies, and
to obtain access to the Russian lar
der. Germans regard American mil
itary preparations as a mere bluff.
There is no danger of the dethrone
ment of the Hohenzollerns in Ger

result in prolonging the war."
