German Peace Offered by Kaiser
Slowly Losing Its German Features
Uoyd-George Says England Will Fight Until France Regains
Alsace-Lorraine. General News Review of Past Week.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD,
i Kaiser Wilhelm reminds one of the
old-fashioned Tiddler of notions who
would keep adding packages of
needles, watches, and even silver coins,
to his little bundles of bargains until
u sale was effected. With northern
France and no indemnities already In
Ids bargain offering, the emperor has
udded Belgium—with conditions—and
now It Is reported he and Emperor
•Charles of Austrltt-Huugary are pre
pared to throw in Alsace, the price
being peace ond the return of Ger
many's colonies. In a word, the Ger
man peace for which the kaiser shows
so consuming u desire is becoming less
German every day, and If the allies
Just say nothing and saw wouu—a%
they probably will—it may finally take
on an appearance that will warrant
their consideration.
To be sure, Chancellor Mlchaells
says that peace Is impossible so long
ns Germany's enemies demand any
German soil or try to drive a wedge
between the German emperor and his
people, but the chancellor Is hard
pressed to save his political fortunes.
He and Vice Chancellor Helfferich are
being bitterly attacked because of the
policy of fostering pan-Germanism In
the country and the array and at the
same time making promises of mild
ness in return for peace. Mlchaells
was compelled to tell the relchstag
that he did not stand for the extreme
demands of the pan-Germanists, and
for the time being his opponents were
satisfied; hut his failure as chancellor
is pronounced.
Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann Is
more yielding than the chancellor, for
he told the relchstag that there now
exists *'no impediment to peace, no
questions that could not be settled by
negotiations, except for the French
demand for Alsace-Lorraine.” He
ndded that Germuuy could muke no
concessions with regard to those prov
inces.
Premier Lloyd George was quick to
take up this challenge of Von Kuehl-
minin’*. *T do not think that any
statement is more calculated to pro
long the war,” he said. ‘‘However
long the war may last, Englnnd In
tends to stand by France until she hag
most encouraging slfens of the yeat
and It was held that If such dissatis
faction exists In the German naval
forces, which have not been subjected
to very severe hammering, the morale
of the army must be breaking down.
New Government For Russia.
Premier Kerensky, having virtually
defied the democratic congress, ap-
polAted a new coalition cabinet
pledged to restore order In the repub
lic and suppress anarchy and to re
new the fighting power of the army.
Kerensky and several of bis colleagues
went to the front to lay their plans be
fore the soldiers, and seemed hopeful
of gaining their support despite the
opposition of the council of soldiers
and workmen. The rail workers went
on strike, but promised not to tie up
the operation of the military railroads,
and later were- partly appeased by an
offer of Increased wages.
The new government is determined
to work hard for a universal peace,
but shows no Intention of abandon
ing Its alliances with the foes of Ger
many. It Issued a declaration to that
effect orf Wednesday, saying It “will
extend Its whole strength in support
of the common cause of the allies, to
defend the country, to oppose every
attempt at the conquest of territory
other nations and every attempt to
impose the will of others on Russia.”
Allies 1 New Drive Jn Flanders.
Another sledge hammer blow at the
Germans In Belgium was struck on
Tuesday by the British and French
acting In conjunction. In the midst of
a furious rainstorm Haig's men ad
vanced on a wide front east and north
east of Ypres, capturing Poelcapelle
and the Gravenstafel ridge and other
elevations that command the generally
flat country and ure In valuable as ob
servation ground. Crown Prince Blip*
precht counter attacked In desperate
attempts to regnln these dominating
heights, but only south of the Ypres-
Itoulers road was he able to push back
the British for u slight distance, and
that at great cost.
At the same time the French on the
left Hank of the British line made n
most remarkable dush forward across
the flooded bog land south of the for
est of Houtholst, piercing the Germun

Reasons Many and Plain,
The reason, foe. the kaiser’s In
creasing moderation in demands are
not far to seek. They arc found In
the dally dlsputcbes recording the re
peated successful thrusts of the allies
In Flanders; the advances of the Brit
ish In Mesopotamia and Africa; the
shortage of German shells;.the grow
ing unrest In the nrnled'forces of Ger
many, reaching the stage of mutiny
In the.fleet; the scarcity of food tn
the central nations, and, perhaps most
potent of all, the steady. Irresistible
progress of tho United States toward
full preparation for war to a victori
ous conclusion.
Then, too, the kaiser sees added to
the list of his enemies more of the
fust dwindling number of those not
hitherto on that roll of honor. Though
President Irlgoyen managed to stave
off warlike action by-Argentina, Peru
and Uruguay last week broke off dip
lomatic relations with Gerntany and
sent away Its ministers.

It Is not sent, she will have to slaugh

foe had held for three years. While
the French gubs sef up a terrific bar

The fact that Von Capelle did not
