ALL GERMANY IS
UN1TEDF0R 1AR
With Failure of Peace Move,
, Powerful Peace Party Gets
; Back of Kaiser. ,
WANTS CONFLICT TO END
(from HUH rarrwMMlMrt In Amerl
rai Free AofWlH.I
Berne, Switzerland (Via Pari).
Feb. 18. There is no doubt in the
miirtls of Americans who have come
to Switzerland from Germany since
the severance of, diplomatic relations
between Berlin and Washington that
the German public today presents a
solid front. . ,
i Any danger of serious internal dis
turbances, such as has been hinted at
in publications outside of Germany is
regard as being as remot as it was
months ago. Nevertheless, the state
of public opinion has become a press
ing problem, especially during the last
few weeks. .
. ... . What They Find.
From these Americans, some of
whom have had exceptional oppor
tunities to study internal conditions
in Germany, the following informa
tion regarding their expressed views
has been obtained: '
"The attitude of the German people
" became more of a problem when the
break with America occurred, not he-
. cause of any overwhelming majority
opposed to the break, but because it
followed so closely on the heels of the
widespread peace talk, coming at a
time when the yearning for cessation
of hostilities had lately received such
enormous impetus.
The German Pacifists.
"There exists in Germany t cynical,
though not disloyal, minority, which
frankly believes the peace offer was
not made in the expectation that peace
could be brought about, but for the
purpose of heartening a large but only
potentially dangerous stratum of the
' population, which is tired of war. This
section has been antagonized by the
unsilencabte and uncontrollable Pan
German element, which has clamored
for the annexation of everything thus
far conquered, or at least for very ma
terial increases in territory. Although
, naturally unorganized, this stratum
is very extensive. It has taken the at-
:, titude that the war and the causes
, thereof are none of its affair and that
' annexation would be of doubtful
value. A majority of this element is
indifferent whether Belgium is re
tained or returned. It longs with in
creasing anxiety for peace.
Brings Unification.
, 'The growing opinion that Germany
i cannot hope to obtain all that is de
sired by the extremists and the pas
sionate desire to have it all over with
on any reasonable basis and to get the
members of the families back home,
has brought it) to being in the last
few months a more or less powerful
. peace party. The cynics argue that
the government recognizing the ex
istence of this faction, decided on a
moderate peace offer, which, if ac
cepted, would please the peace advo
cates, even though not entirely pla
cating the Pan-Germans; while, if re
jected, the result would be unification
' of the people and obliteration of the
. chasm between the peace faction and
, the Pan-Germans.
"Whether the cynics were right or
wrong in regard to the motives of
the government, the peace move
brought about unification to a degree
firobably beyond the utmost hoped
or. The German people today are
as united as at no other time since
August, 1914.
Faith In Sobmiriaet.
: "They have the utmost faith that
submarines will force England to its
knees. They are permeated with the
conviction that "unneutral" America
already has done everything possible
to injure Germany, by unofficial aid
to the allies, that it is not to be feared
economically any more than hereto
fore and that in a military sense it
does not' count. J he Germans are
- united, from the lowest to the highest
. tn the belief that the entente allies n
tend to dismember their nation and
consequently are determined to fight
with the utmost energy and with
every weapon.. ;

ELEMENTARY COURSE
IN NAVALTRAINING
Association Plans Instruction
for Civilians Who Would Fit
Selves for Service.
ATTRACTIVE PLAN READY
The Naval Training Association of
the United States, which is to the
civilian naval training movement
what the United States Military
Training Camps association is to the
Flattsburg ' movement, announces
that the N'avy department is arrang
ing an elementary course in naval
training for civilians who desire to
fit themselves for service with the
navy in the event of war. The train
ing will be followed by training cruises
on reserve battleships next summer.
The Navy department proposes to
establish training stations for civilians
at Newport, Norfolk. Chicago, San
Francisco and probably at Pensacola.
At these camps civilians will he
trained for a period of a month, the
instruction being the same as is given
recruits for the active service.
Civilians who underwent a course of
training last summer will have the op
portunity for a further and more ad
vanced course of training on battle
ships of the United States Atlantic
reserve fleet. Ten or twelve battle
ships of the reserve divisions, under
command of a flag officer, will be
detailed for this purpose.
The time of holding the camps of
instruction and cruises are tentatively
arranged to take place between July
2 and August 4. Should more civilians
apply to take the course of training
afforded by the department than can
be accommodated by the training
camps and battleships in one period
the department proposes to have ad
itional periods of instruction, so that
all who volunteer may be instructed.
In order to make the civilian naval
reserve attractive to those civilians
who desire to volunteer their services
for training as naval reservists the
department proposes to recommend to
congress that the term of enrollment
and re-enrollment in the Volunteer
Naval Reserve be one year. Civilians
who quality tor and enroll in the
Naval Volunteer Reserve will have
their expenses for transportation and
subsistence defrayed by the depart
ment and receive small retainer pay.
Anyone interested may receive
further information by addressing the
Nebraska division of the Naval 1 rain
ing Association of the United States,
Lincoln, Neb.

Allies Face Crisis
In Next Six Months
London, Feb. 18. The earl of
Derby, secretary for war, speaking
at Bolton, jtiprrssed the opinion
that the critical period of the war
would occur in the next six
months.
"The war is going to be long
continued and a struggle even
more bitter than in the past," he
said. "It can only be won by every
one doing his utmost. The three
things most vital are money, men
and munitions. Money and moni
tions are being -supplied in larj-r
quantities. Men we want and
must have.
"I believe we are going to see
the critical period of the war in
the next few months. I confidently
predict it will be a successful six
months for us, but at the same
tune, I do not think it will be a
walkover.
"You must receive bad new
equally with good news, with the
same courage, the same gameness
and the same determination."

and you arose to the sublime under

to do treat thines for God they en
counter limitations, disabilities, pain
ful discouragements. Our civilization
was built up with limitations, the At
lantic cable was laid under distress

our country, the greatest cities all
were built by men and women hedged
with difficulties, compassed with in
firmities. "And the church of the living God,

God has looked down upon some of
the most splendid sacrifices ever
made. When one thinks what it costs
our people to give what they do give

the sweat of their faces we are
amazed. If you want to do anything
for God that is grand you will have to
do it in defiance of difficulties. If you

you will not have much trouble; and
if you want to do anything less than
that you will not have any trouble at

Hetty Green Took
Her Dog's Name to
Conceal Identity
New York. Feb. 18. Eccentricities
of the late Mrs. Hetty H, R. Green,
reputed to have been the richest wom
an in the world, were disclosed in
the surrogate's court here today,
through the filing of testimony given
by, her son, Colonel E. H. R. Green,
before a transfer tax appraiser. The
state is endeavoring to prove that
Mrs. Green was a resident of New
York when she died last July.
Hitherto unrevealed methods that
Mrs. Green adopted to conceal her
identity to avoid cranks, the numer
ous aliases under which she lived in
unpretentious neighborhoods, and her
persistent devotion to business and
financial transactions, all were related
by her son.
Among the assumed names used
by Mrs. Green, her son testified, were
Mrs. Dewey, Mrs. Warrington, Mrs.
Norton, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Nash, Mrs.
Martin, Miss Hickey and others that
he could not recall. A" list of checks
drawn in 1915, covering twenty-five
weeks, showed that the rich woman
paid from $10 to $14 a week for board
and lodging. Her son said her favorite
name was Dewey. She had a little dog
by that name, so she put on the dog's
name. 1

BERNSTORFF NOW
IN BRITISH WATERS
Ambassador Has Quiet Time at
Halifax While Ship Is
Examined.
NONE DISTURB DIPLOMAT
Halifax N. S., Feb. 18. Count vou
Bernstorff, former German ambas
sador to the United States, and mem
bers of his party, homeward bound on
the Scandinavian-American steamer
Frederik VIII, had a comparatively
quiet time aboard ship in British
waters here today. They were free
from every possible source of dis
turbance, for none except government
officials and inspectors was permitted
to pass the cordon of naval boats oi
every description that steamed back
and torth near where tne frcooriK
was at anchor in Bedford Basin.
The monotony of the enforced st:iv
was relieved somewhat when a batch
of American newspapers was taken
aboard, to be eagerly read by Count
von Bernstorff, who is known lo lie
keenly interested in the development
of the international situation since his
departure from New York on Wed
nesday. Examination Well Under Way.
All editions of the local newspapers
were sent to the ship during the ilav
and these constituted the stock of in
formation obtained hy the former am
bassador and several hundred German
consular agents with him, as then
was no mail to be picked up here.
It was learned that the examina
tion of the Frederik's cargo was well
under way tonight. Some of the in
spectors intimated that it might re
quire a week or more to complete
the examination, although this view
was not shared generally by port
officials. Every effort is being made to
expedite the work so that the shin
may resume its voyage without un
necessary delay.
