Know German Plans by Its Hum. - Though the hum of airplane en gines differs widely In the various ma chines, It Is claimed that a Ocrmun plune, away from the roar of the guns, can be recognized by the sound when too high up for the bluck crosses to be distinguished.

No Peace Yet There was no" disposition in ofllclal circles to distinguish -between the Ger man and Austrian moves, as the pro posals are deemed but another step In the great peace offensive now under way. Because the two governni-oti are acting In accordance on the mat ter, word of similar action on the part of Tuikey is expected momentarily, It can be stated semi -officially, how. ever, that peace Is Impossible at the present time, as far as either Ger many or Austria la concerned. The reason It Is Impossible Is because they have made It so. Officials expressed disgust at the hypocrisy which cloaki the present proposals, and which glares from beneath the camouflage of good faith. Here are tho reason! they advance: The military situation has made the move necessary, and therefore rereali It as a diplomatic attempt to overt the disaster German armies face on the field of battle. At home Germany has undertaken some reforms, and the appointment of Prince Max, of Baden, termed I Parlor Radical," as Imperial chan cellor Is cited. But, It Is pointed out, an Improved military situation would allow the militarists to get rid of Prinre Mai and his coworkers as early as It wai possible to displace Von Herding, Mlchaells and other chancellors. Peace at this time, it also wan said. would leave Germany with the nucleus of a mighty army with which she could again Jeopardize the tranquility the whole world hopes to experlenco once a real pence Is obtnlned.

I" addition, German armies still occupy other alien territory and the evacua tion of all occupied territory Is only one of President Wilson's 14 prin ciples. , GERMANS LEAVE BULGARIA.
