"Cant and , Deceit "v Says
American Whom Teutons
Attempted to Use as Go
Between in Negotiations.
' - - ; :
London, May 10. A itory of how
n attempted German peace offensive
directed toward President Wilson was
turned down ignominonsly by Prof.
' Heron; an American living in Geneva,
is told by the Swiss correspondent of
the Daily Mail in his dispatch dated
. at Annemasse, on the Franco-Swiss
trontier. '
Prof. Heron is described as a friend
of President Wilson.
The German government, according
to the correspondent, tried to get
peace offers sent tq the president
through Prof. Heron, who was visited
April 19 by Prof. Quidde of Munich,
a friend of Count von Hertling, the
imperial German chancellor. Prof.
Quidde ' was accompanied by the
-Dutch pacifist, Dr. Jfing Vanbeek.
A Merciful Peace.
; Prof. " Quidde said he had come!
to prepare the way for a merciful
peace and gave Prof. Heron to
Understand that he spoke for Chan
cellor von Hertling and the German
foreign office. ,
He assured, the American professor
that the peace party in' the Reichstag
was about' to gain predominance in
Germany and that he wished to pre
pare President Wilson to take ad
vantage of that auspicious moment.
Germany, Prof. Quidde said, was
twilling to make the following terms:
Firrt To grant autonomy to Al
sace-Lorraine within the limits of
the German empire, provided the al
lies would not broach the subject of
Alsace-Lorraine at the peace confer
tlce. . ' Russ Treaty Barred.
. Second The Brest-Litovsk peace
treaties not to be discussed at the
peace conference, although the allies
might submit claims for the revision
jf them and Germany might make
certain concessions.
Third No economic war against
tjperirany after the war.
Fourth German colonies to be
restored.
Prof. Quidde asserted that the
present offensive in France had the
ultimate objective of achieving a
durab!e peace.
Proi. Heron, the Daily Mail corre
spondent writes, after listening to the
German educator, exclaimed:
, Cant and Deceit
"I wonder that you have the ef
frontery to ask me to lay such a
rigmarole of cant and deceit before
the American people. Far from creat
ing i spjrit of conciliation, it would
simply strengthen the American will
to smash the perfidious and nefarious
offer of such proposals.'
"The United States intends to con
tinue the fighting until the Prussian
military power, and, if necessary, the
$ Prussian state along with it, is ex
tinguished forever as a power for evil,
whether it takes one year or ten.
Monstrous German Blunder.
j- 'If you' call the remorseless sacri
fice of 2,000,000 men a peace offensive,
and If you want the United States to
recognize your shelling of Parisian
congregations and churches as a part
of it, you are making a monstrous
. and foolish blunder.
"When I listen to your false and
treacherous overtures, I feel ashamed
of humanity."
Prof.. Quiddie, adds the corre
spondent, left the house weeping.
The next week Prof. Heron was
besieged by new offers by telephone,
one of the speakers saying he was Dr.
W. S. Zolf, German colonial minister.
Prof. Heron talked straight to all of
them, telling them, amorlg other
things, that: "The United States no
. longer wants peace. It wants to sweep
' out the Augean stables at Potsdam."

EDGAR "C. SNYDER.
Washington, May; 10. (Special
Telegram.) Robert Manley, commis
sioner of the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce, and John Gamble, who
arrived in Washington Thursday
morning, put in a busy' day making
the rounds of the departments to as
certain for themselves just what the
situation is as to Fort Crook and Fort
Omaha, and, incidentally, the quarter
master depot at Omaha. Senator
Hitchcock accompanied the repre
sentatives of the Omaha chamber in
their calls on General March, chief
of staff, and General William Ken
nedy, chief of aviation.
With General Marsh the question
of the future of Fort Crook was dis
cussed. The Omaha representatives
were told that General Marsh, was at
one time stationed at Fort Crook and
had a great fondness for Omaha. The
chief of staff said there had been no
plan formulated as to Fort Crook's
future activities, but he assured his
callers that it would have every con
sideration from General Kennedy.
Balloon School Permanent.
, The Omaha men learned that the
balloon school at Fort Omaha was a
permanent institution and that it
would be developed as rapidly as con
ditions would permit and that it would
be kept to its capacity. General
Kennedy recently inspected Omaha
and speaks in high terms of the school
and its location.
While on their rounds the Oma
hans met members of the French
high commission, who spent several
days in Omaha last year, and they
recalled their visit to the Gate City
with much enthusiasm.
Commissioner Manley and Mr. Gam
ble plan to put in another busy day
Friday in the departments, under the
chaperonage of Senator Hitchcock
and Congressman Lobeck.
J. M. Mayer of Fremont and Earl
D. Sims of Lincoln, and a missionary
evangelist of the Baptist church who
has recently returned from China, are
in Washington for a few days. Dem
ocratic National Committeeman Ar
thur Mullen is in the capital.
