PEACE OFFER IS
; SNOREDBY II. S,
Possibilities of a Conference Dis
cussed in the Senate's Semi
Weekly Session.
ANOTHER PLAN IS ' COMING
Senator Lewis of Illinois Warns
Americans Against "New Profes
sions of Peace and Falso
Propaganda" of Germans.
Washington, July 27. Possibilities
of n pence offenslvo were discussed In
the senate nt tho semi-weekly session.
All senators who spoke declared tho
crushing defeat of Germuny was nec
essary before peace negotiations could
be considered.
Senator Lewis of Illinois, Democrat
ic whip, wurned Americans ngalnst
"new professions of peace and false
propaganda" from Germany.
"We are not, allured by It or de
ceived by it," said he, declaring that
Gcrmnny's Intent, was to cause a de
mand In this country nnd among tho
allies for peaco and enable Germany
to secure a firmer grasp upon Russia
and tho East for preparation of a huge,
nrmy to strike America later.
Tho German pence offer, Senntor
Lewis suggested, ought to have been
Indignantly repudiated by -Emperor
-William, bqcause it conflicts with his
'boastings.
Senntor Sherman of Illinois (Rep.)
declared peace could come only by a
victory that would sweep the kaiser
and his counsellors out of power.
Senntor Lewis declared America had
no Intention in the plan for Joint allied
operations In Russia except to block
Germany's plans to Prusslnnlzo the far
East.
That another peace offer from Ger
mnny Is ' en route through Italian
sources also was stated by Lewis.
"There Is Information in this com
munity," said Senator Lewis, "that
suggestions have bene mo,do through
Italy and soon will bo made known
through proper diplomatic sources.
Germany's proposition now is that she
will tender Belgium, Itoumnnla nnd
Serbia concessions, with agreement for
freedom of the sens, Jor self-government,
and that she bo allowed to deal
ns she pleases with other territory
taken in what she terms her defense
against Russia. Her object Is to at
tain tho East and hold It and seeming
ly concede the demands for which
America, Great Britain and France
have been fighting and spread tho
opinion that by continuing the war
men are dying uselessly."
"The United States would be the
first to pay the penalty," he said, "of
yielding to the nrtful suggestions from
Germany to cause Americans to pro
test against further conduct of tho
wnr."
