the assertion that they could do noth
Ing against the Italians until they got
German aid.
So far, however, there has been no

Qerraan peace feelers are part or aa
Insidious propaganda to hamper tha
war activities or the allies, and he
places no credence In the reports now
emanating from the kaiser's realm.
"It la most obvious," he cabled In a
message, "that the simplest way to
delay American war preparations Is
for the Germans to suggest that peace
la Imminent, and that preparations
are therefore unnecessary.
"We went thru this phase or Ger
man propaganda two years or more
ago, and pay no attention to It now."
