GERMANY DROPS DRIVE FOR PEACE OFFENSIVE Berlin is Expected to Agree j to Reparation for Belgium i and Franco L London, March IS Germany has substituted its most subtle peaco drive for its Iong-piepared western offensive Tho results of this move depend nn the abllltj of Allied statesmanship to show th" reople the war is lost and will merely be repeated If the Allies are persuaded to trad their advantage in the west for Germans 's obvious nd vantage in tho cast, and make pace on thesn German terms. There Is every Indication thit the re cent German peace feelers soon will assume tangible form, Including not only complete restoration and repara tion for Belgium and Trance, hut a com promise on th disposition of Alsuco and Lorraine, besides an adroit offer to assume liability for the large French loans to Russia, which the Bolshevik! repudiated provided Genmny Is given a free hind In the cast ' 1 ho messages of President Wilson snd other Americans to the Russian Tan Soviet congress at Moscow arc regarded as nf unuual timeliness. Theli purpose Is Interpreted ns not only to stlmulnte Russia, but to obtain the nppioval of the worlds democracies of tlio American policy nf no pcico at nusia'B cxp'-n'-e. An Interesting development Is the fnct that many responsible British Uborlles, hlthertc classed as pacifists, are out spoken In their denunciation of surh it peace, consideilng It not onli dishonor able, but calculated to strengthen Prus-1 Mull lutuiarisill I'll u mult- miiiiiuuuiu onslaught against vve&tcrn democracy 11 few jears later. The greatest Interest Imdlsplased In next week's meeting ot the German Reichstag, which will discuss the Rus sian peace treaty, 1 In view of tho fact that semiofficial Cologne Gazette Is enr "ed In the Ger man "peace drive," the. lovement Is re garded with unusual Interest. The Cologne Gazette has the support of the Trankfurter Zeltung, which argues the Allies should consider the situation In the cast before deciding upon a continuation of the conflict. Another newspaper engaged In the peace propaganda Is tho Germanli, chief organ of tho Berlin Catholics There Is a nolo of anxiety In a great deal of the German comment on the possibility of obtaining largo food stores from Russia. These feara may have something to do with the renew nl of peace talk. DR. IIAMILL TO HEAD BABY:SAVING CAMPAIGN Committee Seeks to Save 100,000 In fant Lives This Summer Dr. Samuel McC.
