GERMAN PEACE
OFFER SPURNED
BY AMERICAN
Hertllng's Confidant Visits Professor
Heron, Friend of Wilson, at Berne,
and Makes Proposals Told Blunt
ly That America Intends to Clean
Out Augean Stables at Potsdam.
LONDON, May 10. A Btory ot
how an attempted German peace of
fensive directed toward President
WlUon was turned down lgnonilnl
OUBly by Professor Heron, an Ameri
can living In Geneva, is told by the
Swiss correspondent of the Dally Mall
in bis dispatch dated at Annemasse,
on the Franco-Swiss frontier. Pro-
lessor Heron Is described as a friend
of President Wilson.
' The German government, accord
ing to the correspondent, tried to get
poace offers sent to the president
thru Professor Heron who was visit
ed on April 19 by Professor Quidde of
Slunlch, a friend of Count Von Hert-
ltng, the imperial German chancellor.
Jrofessor Qulddo was accompanied
!by the Dutch pacifist, Dr. Jong Van
(lieok.
A Merciful Peace.
Professor Quidde said he had come
to prepare the way for a merciful
peace and gave Professor Heron to
understand that he spoke for Chan
cellor Von Hertllng and the German
foreign office. He assured the Amer
ican professor that the peace party
In the relchstag was about to gain
predomlnence In Germany and that
he wished to prepare President Wil
son to take advantage of that aus
picious moment.
, Germany, said Professor Quidde
waB willing to make the following
terms:
, First, to grant autonomy to Alsace
Lorraine within the limits of the Ger
man empire, provided the allies
iwould not broach the subject of Al
sace-Lorraine at the peace conference.
Second, the Brest-Litovsk peace
treaty not to be discussed at the
peace conference, altho the allleB
.might submit claims for the revision
of them and Germans might make
certain concessions.
Third, no economic war against
.Germany after the war.
Fourth, German colonies to be re
stored. Professor Quidde asserted that the
present offensive In France had the
ultimate object of achieving a dur
able peace.
Heron's Stern ltebiikc.
Professor Heron, the Dally Mall
correspondent writes, after listening
to the German educator, explained.
"I wonder that you have the ef
frontery to ask me to lay such a rig
marole of cant and deceit before the
American people. Far from creat
ing o spirit ot conciliation it will slm-
ply strengthen the American will to
smash the perfidious and nefarious
author of such proposals.
"The United States intends to con
tinue fighting until Prussian military
power, and, if necessary, the Prus
0ln Binte alone with it. Is cxtln
guiBhed forever as a power for evil,
whether it takes one year or ten.
"It you call the remorseless sacri
fice of two million men a peace of
fensive and If you want the United
States to recognize your shelling of
Parisian congregations and churches
a9 a part of It, you aie making a
monstrous and foolish blunder.
Ashamed of Humanity.
"When I listen to your false and
treacherous overtures, I feel ashamed
ot humanity.
Professor Quidde, adds the corres
pondent, left the house weeping. The
next week Professor Heron was ue
selged by offers by telephone, one of
the speakers saying he was Dr. W. S.
X.olf, German cofbnlal minister. Pro
fessor Heron talked straight to all
of them, telling them among other
things that the 'United States does
( not want peace. It wants to sweep
out the Augean stables at Potsdam."
Professor Heron, the dispatch adds,
told the story to the correspondent
and laughed triumphantly. He said
he believed the Germans were at last
convinced that the United Slates In
tends to stay In the war until
righteous objects are achieved.

E
WITH T11K liniTISIi ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 10. (By the As
sociated Press.) The Germans had
intended to make a mil:!: more pre
tentious assault in Flanders this
week week than they were actually
ablo to carry out, it has been learned.
Their failure was duo to tho excel
lent work ot tho allied gunners and
to a small coincident operation of
the French east of Scherpenberg
which came at tho right moment to
holp upset the enemy plans In this
Bcctor.
V The German attack, as actually
executed, lay, roughly, between Ln
Clyette and Vcrniezeole and It was
nuido principally by the r!!ml Gorman
reserve division fresh troops which
had not been used since tho May of
fensive began assisted by the f0lli
regulars.
To Use- Five Divisions.
From prisoners It was Indicated
that the Germans originally had In
tended to attack with five divisions,
and it is quite pofiblo that this drive
was meant to be the forerunner of a
grand smash to push up west of
Ypres and thereby threaten tho Brit
ish hold on the ruined city. The Ger
mans preceded their advance by t
terrific nil-night bombardment
against both the French and British
over a wide front. At 9.30 o'clock
Wednesday the Infantry drive was
started by tho r.2nd reserve, which
was sent against the British in Hldge
wood and the neighboring territory,
and by tho Stilli division, which at
tacked the lli-iti-h on 'ho-right and
the French on tho lert.
Before tho battlo started In car
nest, however, several things had
happened which were to have a vital
bearing on tho day's program. Along
the Ypros-Comliios canal an unusual
movement among the enemy had
brought down a troniondous barrage
from the British guns against a Gor
man division on the right ot the 62nd
reserves.
French Also Take n Hand.
Nothing further happened along
this sector, but It appeared later that
the enemy had been assembling there
to participate in the attack and bad
bean so badly smashed that the idea

ot their taking part had been aban
doned. ln tho meantime, between Locre
and La Clytte, on the French front,
the French had their eyes open, and j
began a heavy bombardment. Also
tho French had undertaken a small
operation in tho early morning for
the capture of a posit on oast of Scher
penberg hill. Tho combination of the
French attack and the bombardment,
undoubtedly upset tho German plans,
for additional German divisions,
which were assembling to assist their
comrades on the right, could not bo
brought in. As a consequence tho as
sault was confined to a two-dlvlslon

against tho British about Hldgcwood.
