In ticular, he said, it preciuded any ect announcement by Germeny of her peace conditions, in answer to the terms set forth in the latest entente note. Dr. Zimmerman asserted, however, that the answer of the emtente to the {president did_not finally and com- Pletely close the door to later efforts For peace befors one side or the other was compietely crushed. The foreign minister, in_the course of & conversation with The Asso- ciated Press correspondent last night, although with obvious re- juctance, that it was impossible for him to give a more definite statement ©f the peace programme of the cen- tral powers than that indicated in the deciarations of Dr. Von Bethmann- Hollweg, the chancellor, because the German terms were such that the un- solicited promulgation of them in fheir modernte details after what h Characterized as the aspiring pro- @ram of conquest and dismemberment outlined by the entente, would be 1 ferpreted by the entente powers as & sign of weakness and of a desire for e at any cost. Publication of the the central powers, therefore, would defeat its every purpose, said Dr. Zimmerman. The foreign minister ex- Pressed doubt whether, after what he described as the rebul to President Wilson's peace efforts given in the re- ply of the entente, the president could take any further action for the pres- ent, adding that the entents answer exciuded for the present, any possi- #ility of peace Expressing a Py ; .

We cannot afford to. give the impression that we are chasing after peace at all costs. After the entente allies have put out this highly ambi- tious programme, an announcement of the firm and moderate German terms of peace would by contrast probably be interpreted by our adversaries as an fndication of weakness and would be used by them to encourage their peo- ple to fight on. Our people would not understand any further effort by us for the introduction of peace after the entente's declaration. We have to_consider public opinion here.” Dr. Zimmeérman said he could obvi- ously see the advantages from one point of view in declaring Germany’s terms and letting the world see, by contrast with those to which the en- tente powers have committed them- selves, the real state of affairs, but seemed to be convinced that such ad- vantages were not sufficient to affect the attitude of the entente powers or to outweight the effect on” opinion in enenly countries of the announcements of the terms regarding Belglum and the others in this war. 3 To the question as to whether he saw- the possibility of Germany’s making such a declaration of her intentions, #hould a further Inquiry be:made from the neuitral side, for example, by President Wilson, the minister replied critseally: “But will he make such an inquiry, after the entente reply, which in its nature, is, shall we say, insulting?” “Do you think that affer an inter- vl there will be any possibility of an offer of mediation for peace being ac- cepted by both sides?’ the minister was asked. “Yes,” he replied. “The desire for peace of all the peoples—peoples, mind you, T say, not governments—is so strong that' after the entente has had another try with a new offensive; aft- €r it has seen the fruitlessnese of. ail the endeavors to crush the military strength of the central powers, \here may be a beiter possibility of nego- tiating a satisfactory and reasonable peace. Must Be Fought to Bitter End. “Of course, if the entente powers persist in trying to execute their pro- rmme. the war must be fought to the itter end. There is not a German who would not rather die than see the @ecomplishment of the announced in- tention of the entente powers with re- 0od taste and 1 s nice for ux‘:a:" 2nd iing, an l for serge nun's Vi Fins, popita.

How About Setting Ireland Free. “The entente tries to justify its aims of conquest by what it calls ltbera- tion, instead of pillaging. Charity be- Eins at home. Why does not England. give a practical example of her idea of liberty by setting Ireland free?” Passing to a subject of immediate Interest to the United States—Ger- many’s demand for the withdrawal of the American minister, Charles J. Vo- picka, from Bucharest—Dr. Zimmer- man confirmed the report of this action but declared that the motives were in- correctly glven by the foreign news- papers. ~ The measure, he said, was not directed against Mr. Vopicka per- sonally, but it applied to all diplomatic representatives in the Rumanian cap- ital who had failed to follow the court to which they were accredited to its new seat of government. Not only America, Holland and Grefice, in the person of their diplomatic representa- tives, were affected, but even Ger- meny’s ally, Austria, did not retain her minister in the Rumanian capital, which is In the German sphere of oc- cupation. International law does not recognize the status of a diplomat ac- credited to a governmentn a country which is under the Wilitary occupation of another power. Rominded that the American ana | Spanish diplomatic representatives in Belgium were accorded a quasi-diplo- matic status Dr. Zimmerman pointed out that ti$s was a matter of opinion as _concerned the individual military comimanders and that while Field Mar- shal von der Goltz, the former mili- tary commander in Belgium, had ac- quiesced in the arrangement, Field Marshal von Mackensen, com- ‘mander of the Rumanian cam; took & different stand. e BROWER MUST ANSWER . CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY In Connection With Harry K. Thaw in Kidnapping Cage. - Philadelphia, Jan.” 15.-Judge 7. M. Patterson, in Sommon pleas court !'uta today, detided that Oliver A. Brower, charged ' with conspiracy to xidnap Frederick Gump, of Kansas City, who accused Harry K. Thaw of beating him, ‘must_be returned to New Yerk./ rower will be taken to that eity fo- reasons should not be Patterson ruled tha £) tion of identification was ths only point in the case with which the lo- cal courts were concerned, whereupon Scott quickly ended _the 'proceedings by admitting that Brower was the man named in the indictment and that he was in New York on January 6, the time of the alleged conspiracy Wwith Thaw to induce Gump to go to New York. Assistant District Attor- ney Black.of New York, contended that Thaw and Brower intended to prevent Gump from testifying to_the alleged attack by Thaw in a New York_hetel on Christmas day. Judge Patterson prefaced his ruling with the comment/ that “the Thaw case had left a trail of shame and that Philadelphia wanted little of it.” Mr. Scott asserted that the charges against Brower would fall in New York and said the real motive in ex- traditing him was to hold him as a witness against Thaw. He explained that it was for this reason that he al tered his intention’ of permitting the uncontested return to New York of Brower. Scott is also counsal for Thaw. Mr. Black argued that copies of tel- egrams under date of January §, which Thaw is said to have sent to Long Beach, Calif, inquiring about the whereabouts of the Gump boy and of the ‘“Dear Master” letter which Thaw is alleged to have dictated to Gump, foreing him to describe the ef- fects of ing, were found on Brow- er at the time of his arrest here and were conclusive evidence of the al- leged conspirecy. Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City, former chairman of the federal com- mission on industrial relations and counsel for Gump, was present at the hearing. He sald he knew of no con- templated action by-the Gump fam- iy to sue Thaw for “a quarter of & million dollars after the disposal of the present charges, as has been re- ported. Thaw’s mother, who is stayinz at the hospital where he is recovering from an attempt at suicide, was at her son’s bedside for nearly four hours today, comforting and consoling him. 'She would not_disclose what legai ‘moves were to be made In Thaw’s be- half when his condition permits his removal n;;-“m hospital. f'l":lwxhu an array torneys here from New York d rmm:h. however, and Jocal offiiats regard this Mobiiisation of legal talént as the preNminary to a serfous effort to kesp him within the Jurisdiction ~ of the Pennsvivania courts. WARSHIP CONSTRUCTION UP TO HOUSE commitree it Details of Negotistions With Private Shipbuilders - Given by Secretary Daniels. fvmm‘mn. J.t.-a 15. — Secretary the house ' naval Wi committee today the problem of get- ting under construction the four bat- tle cruisers already authorized for the navy. Details as to negotiations with pri- vate shipbuilders were laid before the committee with the definfte state- ent that the ships could not be built in private plants for less than $18,- 500,007 each, or $2,000,000 more than the fixed Mmit of cost. A preliminary estimate for mavy vard construction, submitted by Assistant Secrstary Roosevelt, was $17,500,000 but Secre- tary Daniels sald a formal estimate would be furnished later. Paymaster George P. Auld, who cx- amined the books of the Fore River, Newport News and Cramp Shipbuild- ing companies, told the. committee that in preparing to take contracts on the basis of cost and a percentage of profit, the companies estimated ma- terial for each yessel at $10,000,000; labor at $4.900,000 and overhead ex: pense at $2,500,000, taking up the en- tire $16,500,000 limit of cost, to which profit and extra expense would be added. Paymaster Auld pointed out that the cost of material a year or two ago would have been about $6,- 000,000 and argued that in fixing their profit the builders had figured on col- lecting a percentage on the $4,700,000 inflation. % Assistant Secretary Roosevelt told of negotiations with the steel makers concerning material for the ships, saying they had agreed to a reduction of $887,438 per ship, or & total reduc- tion of 33,349,744 on all four ships, provided the four were exactly alike, He pointed out_that examfnation the Fore Hiver Ship company's tenta- tive contracts showed that the bulk o A ul e Pramt S controlied by ine.

The ' preliminary investigation of the “leak” in comnection with the Wilson peace note which is being conducted by the rules committee of the house was expected to bring forth sensa- tional revelations.
