HARDEN SAYS BERLIN
SHOULD SEEK PEACE
Can Do So as Victor, German
Editor Declares.
President Wilson, It Is understood
on good authority, has In hand, with
out any definite use to makV of them,
the peace terms that are likely to be
heard from vBerlln If the "trown
fprlnce takes Verdun.
Colonel House shortly after his re
turn from Germany, It Is said, laid
before the President Germany's tenta
tive proposals as modified by recent
months of warfare. Colonel House
did not go to Berlin to discuss pos
sible peace terms, but It Is said he
did receive an outline of the German
view of a, proper settlement following
the end f the war.
Germany's Terms.
The terms Germany would consider,
confirmed by high German authority
here, are regarded as the most satis
factory from the point of view of pos
sible peace, that have been suggested.
They provide:
That German colonies, taken by the
entente aljles, be returned to Ger
many. That.no Indemnities be demanded by
either side.
That Montenegro, Serbia, and Al
bania be divided between Austria.
Bulgaria, and Greece.
That an autonomous government be
established in Poland.
That Turkey be entirely freed of
British Influences.
That Germany return Belgium and
those portion! of French territory now
In possession of the Kolaor.
That Russia assume possesion of
Persia.
That England remain as she now is,
neither giving nor receiving anything.
It Is understood that Colonel House

Hente allies were tinWJUIng nt tho
present tltnn to consider peace. This
belief is expressed also by high Gerin.ui
officials.
Hut one of the things thnt In under
stood to hnve made tho allies Arm in
determination to continue Ihe struggle,
was the- belief that Germany would
keep Belgium, and would demand In
demnities. Put. according to thl.i pro
posal Germany will demand neither If

tjresent time.
Indemnities Impossible.
Begirding this, a high German officii!
ald both sides "ought to pretty thor
oughly understand by now that there
could be no demands ror inuemniin's.
And as for Germany retaining Bel
glum." he added, "there Is no longer

ernment." Regarding other terms of peace. It
is the belief of the German govern
ment, according to reports said to
have been mads to President Wilson,
that tho only wav to establish ordur

Montenegrins ard Sorblans. between
Austrl.i, Bulgaria and Greece. That
Greece would be given a share of the
conquered territory Is regarded as
significant In Its possible bcarlntr
upon that country's refusal to enter

Washington official In support of
forecasts of an early pence being

They credit tho Germans with great
bravery, but reneatcd the 'official
claim that no German soldier entered
the fort Itself.
The Posen troops first charged tho
French positions about Vnux village;
After engaging the French at this point,
Poson and Bavarian regiments ad
vanced toward the fort, which stands
C00 feet abovo tho surrounding plain,
attacking first tho outer redoubts on
the Meuso ridges.

The German column's debouched from

rushed to attack in lines four deep only
tobe smothered by the French fire.
Reckless Sacrifice.
"The French fdx-lnch and eight-Inch
shells exploded right on top of the
marchlng'columns, and when the smoko
and dust cleared nothing was left but
a mass of piled IfOdles.
"From tho bastions of Fort Vaux, tho

many places almoit perpendicular.
"The main Germun linos were forced
to halt, but many Bavarians from re

umld a hall of bullets. They climbed
up on ono anothcr'u shoulders, hanging
to angles of rock, grasping tufts of

"Time and ngaln tne human pyramid

was caster and the attack more con

"Finally tho Gorman officers called a

LONDON, March 1J. Maxlmllllan
Harden la outspoken In a recent article
In Die Zukunft, a copy of which has
been received here. He makes a strong
demand for peace, and urges that, the
German government begin negotiations
Immediately.
"Germany.'' he says, "haa heaiped vic
tory upon vlotory. Upon her, therefor,
devolves the duty of making an offer
of peace. Such an offer could only
add to 'and not diminish her prestige.
It -would be a proof of her strength, not
weakness.
"Besides, Germany must propose
peace. Germany Is victorious In the
riaM, but Internally she Is beset with
difficulties. Wo cannot deny that tho
preparations for tho third harvest arc
more difficult than for the second. We
do not yet lack men, but we can no
longer, Drocure certain raw materials.
"Meanwhile our war expenditure is In
creasing to an alarming extent. At the
end of three years of war we should
have lost every one of the commercial
markets where we had established posl
'tlons which were seemingly unassail
able. "If Germany waits longer she will
find herself reduced to obeying the will
of her enemies. It thus becomes neces
sary that sho Invito the world to conr
elude peace. This Invitation may be
Interpreted as a sign of weakness, but
that matters little. It our offers aro
declined wo shall have fulfilled the
final duty which our conscience dictated
toward Europe and toward humanity."
Trebizond Menaced
By Army and Fleet
Aided by ihe guns of the Black sea
fleet, the Busslan troopi have succeeded
in driving back tho Turkish Third army
which is defending Trebizond, and it Js
expected that that city, the most im
portant on the Turkish shore of tho
Black sea, will have a similar fate to
i;rzerumnnd Bitlls, and fall Into nus
slan hands.
Without the help of the fleet the Bus
nlan army of Invasion would have a
difficult time. Ab It is. tho' guns of the
uhlps are utile to batter the Turkish
flanks and cut 'lie lines of supply.
Strategically Trebizond Is in au un
fortunate position. Owing to the Pon
tine mountains, which run parallel 'to
the seacoast a short distance inland, all
supplies for tho nrmy must be brought
up along the shore roads.
These roads aro open to the assaults
of tho RiiBBlun ships. Bridges over
rivers have been knocked to pieces by
the Bhells of the fleet. The railroad
lino has been cut and the supply trains
bombarded.
The fleet has prevented a single train
(from getting through to the menaced
city. The German consul at Treblxond
has left the city, and turned over his
, effects to tho American representative,
anticipating tho Russian occupation.
An old citadel, which has great pos
sibilities as a fort to repel attack,
crowns the ridge on which the city Is
built and commands the approaches into
the city Itself. It is this fort which
has been tho special target of the guns
of the Busslan fleet. The city has a
population of 40.0O0 persons, about even
ly divided between Moslems and Chris
tlans, the former occupying the older
part of the city, nnd the latter the
lim: part, hlchtr en the piomontory.
One of the main reasons why Gen.i
Fredorlck Funston Is expected to select
Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing to command
tho United States expeditionary force in
Mexico is that what Funston stands ror
at about fivc-foot-slx Is exactly what
Pershing stands for at slx-fool-two.
Short, chubby Funston and long, lean
Pershing are tho long and short of ex
actly the same proposition.
While one of them Is a professional
soldier, trained at the Military Acad
emy, tho other is a natural soldier,
trained largely in the field, but arriving
at exactly the same results and under
going much the aamo processes.
It is a rather curious thing that the
fame of both men In the popular mind
rests on achievement in the Philippine
Islands, Funston at the far north or
Luzon and Pershing In the far south
of Mindanao.' Likewise both came Into
nrnminenea because they both became
brigadier generals without going through
the lone formula, whlcn Js expeciea iu
mske brlcadler generals by serving
through all the grades.
Promoted From Captain.
"Black Jack" Pershing Is known In
Washington principally Because ho
was made a bilgadlor general from
the rank of captain among the orJI
nary run of Washington people. He Is
known at the War Department
through a long reoord of acfjal mili
tary achievement In a wide variety
of wa.vs In which things can he nc
comiillehed In the army.
General Pei-bhlng Is a native of Linn
county, Missouri, having, been born
on a farm. He was graduated from
the K.'rkuvllle Normal Hc'jooI with
ih fleeree of B. A. In 18S0. Klrlts-
vlllo is where tho osteopaths come
from nnd bone and nerve, which Is
their fp'eclslty, was tho principal
characteristic. displayed by Pershing
when ho entered the Military Academy
at West. Point In 1882.
In order to show that he had the
Intense Missouri desire to be shown,
he also studied law at the University
of Nebraska 'while stationed there as
m wnrv itmirucior ann rccaivcu m uc-
groe In law which entitles him to ad
mission to the bar.
Ho entered the army as ft second lieu,
tenant In the Sixth Cavalry In 1886. He
rushed right Into trouble with his first
year in the service, catching the tall
end of the Apache campaign In Ari
zona In 1886. Ho was also In the Blou.x
campaign In Dakota In 1890-91 in com
mand of the Sioux Indian scouts.
He became a first lieutenant in tho
Tontli Cavalry in 1893, and thereby ac
quired the title of "Black Jack." the
Tenth being one of tho negro regiments
with a famous record.
Sumner wonted this -iltltude on the
part of- the recalcitrant Moros, and,
knowing nobody better calculated to
give them cxacll the prorcr informa
tion and forms of perstipslon. ho or
ganized a- fore" which he plnred under

armed and blood thirsty Mohammedan
ranatlcs nnd cleaned 11 up so cneciunny
that it hasn't been much of a problem
to keep It that way during the seventeen
years that have followed.
When the general staff of the army
was formed Pershing who had been pro
moted In the meantime to the grade of
captain and assigned to the Fifteenth
Cavalry, was selected as one of the first
officers bf that organization and was
ordered ,to Washington to help form It.
He was later assigned to duty as mili
tary attache at Tokyo, and as such ac
companied tho Japanese army Into
Manchuria. He was with Kurokl
throughout the spring and summer or
1905.
He was made a brigadier general in
September, 1C0C. and was-ordered to the
Philippine Islands.
At Fort McKinley.
His first command as a hrlgadler gen
eral was Fort William McKinley, tho
largest military post In tho United
States service.
He was later ordered to Mindanao,
where he becamo governor of the Moro
province, and as such personally com
manded tho expedition against his old
friends tho hostile Moros In 1913, nnd
ended their depredations In about tho
same manner as he had ended the Lake
Lanao troubles.
Returning to the United States he was
placed In command of the Bight Brlg
gade at the Presidio, San Francisco, and
later sent to 121 Paso In command of
the border patrol.
General Pershing was married In this
city In January, 1906. to Miss Frances
Warren, daughter of Senator Warren
of Wyoming.
Mrs. Porshlng and two of the three
Pershing children were the victims of a
fire In San Francisco only a few months
ago.

NEW YORK. March 13.-The Aero
Club of America has announced that
at Its own expenso, It will Immediately
start training six aviators for military

at tho dsposal of the United States army
In Mexico.
Purchase of several fast aeroplanes to

Federal Government takes Immedlato
steps to remedy the deficiency In that
direction, Is being considered and a defi
nite announcement Is expected within
a short time.
Tho Aero Club's statement points out
that the army has only olght aeroplanes
avallablo for tho Mexican expedition,
and that all of theso aro of low power
and far from Ideal for military service.
Tho statement also asserts that not a
single aviator of tho army Is trained to
use a high-powered machine
Tho six aviators, as many as pos
sible being selected from the National
Guard, will be sent to tho aviation
school In Newport News,, and In threo

Elements in Campaign.
The European war haa no lesson for
thn officers and men who are about to
enter Mexico, army officers said today.
The campaign about to be conducted
will be the very antithesis of that In
Kurope.
In place of Urnch fighting and tho
movement of huge bodies of Iraopf,
the campaign In Mexico will be con
ducted by -malt lots of men, sent out
from the main lines of communication,
and cavalry, tne least used arm of the
service In Uuropo today, will be the
mainstay of the American rorces.
"If we had a 42-centlmeter gun. we
wouldn't know what to do with It,"
said ono oltlccr. "unless It would be to
shoot at mountains."
The tactics to be employed, however,
aro thosq with which the United States
officers and soldiers aro much moro fa
miliar, going back even beyond the
Cuban and Philippine campaigns to thu
olS frontier days of Indian warfare.
Tho romantic figure of the scout and

The most apparent modern elements In
