KAISER'S HAND Is Seen in the Pulling of Peace Wires. a THEMYSTERIOUS MOVES AROUND ROME ARE NOT WITH. OUT SIGNIFICANCE, Allies Not Taking the Bait--Peace is Possiblé Only When German ' Militarissn Has Been Absolutely Crushed. Londan, April 14 Sir Edward Grey's return to the Foreign Office did much-to dispose of the myth which has represented the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs as conducting secret negotiations af some inconspicuous place on the Con- tinent, preferably stipposed to he Ta- dua or Bologna. Rome, of course; was not a place wherein a person- ality -like Sir Edward could hope to hide his identity, and was inerefore avoided by him, though Italy was primarily concerned in the secret ne- gotiations, which, according to these mysterious reports, were to bring the secession of Austria from Ger- many and the conclusion of a separ- ate peace. : Father Ledochowski, a general of the Jesuits, was playing a role in the diplomatic conspiracy, which de- pended for its success upon guaran- tees being given by Russia, France and Great Britain that Italy should receive her due reward for her readi- | ness to fly in the oft-quoted words of Ambassador Camdon, "to the suc- cor of the conquerors in this war." But behind all 'these extraordinary reports there is a eertain amount of fact. The suggestion that Sir Ed- ward is concerned in such negotia- (tions may be dismissed. except that { Vatican's denials of the Pope | Benedict XV. certainly a now 'that he is back on duty he is | an interested spectator of what are here believed to be the German, particularly the Austrian, endeavors 3 (0 ascertain whether peace is pos- sible at the present stage, and on i what sort of termes, There is reason to believe that Fa- ther Ledochowski has been pulling certain strings, or at least, has been utilized by the wire-pullers.

Germany, it is held, reached the lim- it of her offensive long ago, while the Allies are now only beginning to attain the height of their power of counter-attack. TALK OY THE KARLSRUHE, Germans Do Not Believe She Is Off "the Seas. Newport News, Va., April "14. -- Congressman Homer P. Snider, of New York, spent several hours aboard the German auxiliary cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm yesterday, and with 'Captain Max Thiericheéns, of the auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel, was the luncheon guest of commander Thierfelder. "Neither of the German command- ers as well as other officers on the Kronprinz Wilhelm with hom 1 talked believe that the eruiser Karls- ruhe has been sunk or blown up by her commander after running on.a reef in the South Atlantic, as re- ported," declared the Congréssman to a newspaper man to-day. "One of the officers when I asked him how he accounted for the finding of a steam launch from the Karlsruhe a number of weeks ago, explained that when the Karlsruhe and Kronprinz Wilhelm were surprised While the last named vessel was coaling the former off the OT die early in August, the Karlsruhe did not have lime to even take aboard her launch which was over the side and was for- ced to let it 'go adrift while she pre- pared to meet the attack of the Bris- tol, Suffolk and Berwick. . "The same officer told me that on several occasions lifebudys and other property from the Kronprinz Wil- helm were Ahzown overboard so that British ships on sighting the sup- posed drifting wreckage would im- mediately come tg the conclusion that the other ships had been sunk.
