WORK ON GERMAN

within a few days, to make an anj
nouncement on negotiations which
have been going on for weeks bej
tween the I". S. and Germany to
fix a peace basis.
j Whether this announcement will

i the U. S. and Germany, or whether
ill will merely enuncate provisions
' upon which the proclamation of
peace with Germany is to be promulgated
pending: completion of the

The administration is anxious to
i have a definite peace basis estab;
liahed, but has not wishedu to issue
i the peace proclamation until negotiations
with Germany had reached
a point where all American interests
were safeguarded. This, it is
stated, might be effected by signing
a preliminary pact between the
! 17. S. and Germany, after which the
detailed treaty, embodying, as it
does, about SO per cent of the economic

Versailles, finally could be worked

would advocate moving the conference

^fr. Wilson, while seeing all of

Secretary Lansing, as spokesman,

! Mr. Burn? for many years and j
know hi* dependability and effi- |
| ciency." Mr. Daugherty said, and in
I that statement lies an interesting ,
human sidelight of government
'service.
Twenty years ago. when the AtI
torncy General was a struggling |
, young lawyer in Columbua. Ohio,
! there came to him from President ;
McKinley a man who offered him j
an opportunity to assist in the government
prosecution of the land !
fraud cases. That man was William
: J. Burns, and out of that incident '
sprang a friendship.
Speaking of that sacrifice. Mr.
Daugherty said:
"My policy is never to appoint a
man to this department who does
not ion* money by his acceptance."
Mr. Burns' salary as director will j
i?e $7,300 per annum, it was stated. '
He will take charge of the New
York office today.
