TEUTONS WOULD ALLAY FRANCE S > FEAR OF ATTACK Thermann, New Envoy to U. S., Speaks of Further Guarantees. BRIAND CHARGE EVADED BY CARL D. GROAT. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Germany Is ready to give further guarantees "to an International tribunal" to allay France's fears of anew war from across the Rhine. Freiherr Edmund Von Thermann, here to open the German embassy and ultimately to become its .counsellor, expressed this as his belief today. Germany, desiring an undisturbed opportunity to work without recurrent threats of occupation in the Ruhr region and elsewhere, would make these guarantees in any suitable form the rest of the world demands, according to Thermann's view. WILE NOT REPLY TO BRIAN!) STATEMENT. The new German representative—a young man of saxon-Thuringian stock, bearing no duel cuts or other earmarks that the north German affects —made it clear he could not and would not answer Premier Briand's statement about Germany. His remarks anent guarantees came only after long persistent questioning when he was asked if he agreed with the similar guarantee views of George Bernhardt, editor in chief of the Vissische Zeitung, Berlin. “If the French people think if would be possible to avoid any danger of future war between France and Germany | by giving guarantees, the German government I believe would be ready,” he said, “to give any further guarantees possible to any international tribunal as a sign of its food faith and peaceful intentions." Thermann said ho wanted to avoid anything that might be taken as German propaganda in thlr country and specially wanted to steer clear of a controversy with Premier Briand. “Tell me then how Germany regards LudendorfT quite apart from any remarks Briand made about him,” the questioner asked. "Ludendorff,'’ Thermann replied, "has no influence upon the government or on the people. He scarcely dares go to Berlin and because be sits in Bavaria writing books and has associations with some of the old clique is to sign that he is a factor today.” Another German present interrupted: “Ludendorff never was a popular figure like Hindenburg who was regarded as savior of Germany for turning back The Russians. Asa mutter of fact, Ludeudorff wa3 hated by officers and men. There is a military clique still existing, but It has no real power.” Tbermanr Illustrated this by remarking that ihe Kapp Putsch (to which Briand referred* had been put down In three days by the solid front of the German people in a national general strike. STATEMENT ON WAR MATERIALS. "What about suggestions that German factories are making war materials?” Thermann was asked. “Our factories have been converted into peace-time production,” he said. "Krupps, for instance, are making railroad cars agid locomotives, milk separators and other machinery. The allied 'supervision is sufficient guarantee that nothing is being made which shouldn't l be.” ' As for disarmament, Thermann held that Germany Is literally stripped of armament. The few rifles still hidden away would not help In a modern war and entente commission reports show that the bulk of gun 6, machine guns, rifles long since have been scrapped, he Eald.—Copyright, 1921, by United I‘ress.

Two Kinds of Dollars Which Kind Are Yours? THE DOLLAR FOR SPENDING is STILL a DE-preciated dollar! It is not worth nearly as much as it was before the war. It will not buy nearly as much food, clothing or other necessities as it would then. THE DOLLAR for INVESTING is STILL an AP-preciated dollar. It will bring you in much more income than it would before the war —and its advantage does not stop there. The dollar invested now in a security like the 7% Cumulative Preferred Stock of this Company, will bring you in about as much income as a dollar and a half would have before the war. And as the prices of food, clothing and other necessities decline (as they are already declining) every in-come-dollar from your investment will buy more and more. Isn’t it perfectly clear to you, then, that NOW is the time to invest your savings in a good sound security bearing a high rate of interest. The time is fast approaching when they will not be purchasable at present low prices.

GERARD DECLARES KAISER SOUGHT FRENCH ALLIANCE (Continued From Page One.) Hughes’ methods were followed and a proposed solution boldly thrown by each nation into the arena of controversy. MILITARISTS OUT OF IT. Premier Briand made a passionate plea on behalf of France, but when he quotes Ludejidorff and Moltke he quotes men in whom the mass of Germans no longer believe. Moltke beat Napoleon 111 Only three days ago I saw the original of a letter written by Napoleon 111 to James Watson Webb, In whose house Napoleon had found hospitality while In exile in America, in which Napoleon, writing as Emperor, excused the sending of French troops on an imperialistic excursion to Mexico, because the firpt troops sent having been defeated “the military honor of France was involved,” and he therefore had to despatch reinforcements. The same language as that of the Moltke of 1870, of the Ludendorff of today. In spite of the eloquence of Briand, I do not see why America should take part in the hate circle of Europe and agree to protect France at all events. Then we would be “in for it” indeed. It is fortunate for France that Briand was not defeated In the voting which took place in the French Chamber of Deputies just before his departure. His opponents are those who would stir up old antagonisms and future wars. The tactful Jusserand, Ambassador of France, can inform him as to the mind of America, ably seconded by the officlftliysent Ctsenove, one of the most skilful and best informed diplomats of Europe, and Stephen Lauzanne of the great Matin newspaper, a keen observer of nil things American. It is a pity that Marcel Knecht, so popular here and who served France so ably In America, is not connected with the delegation. KAISER REALLY * WANTED PEACE. Even to my knowledge, the German Emperor showed a willingness to enter into an alliance with France. When in May, 1914. I arranged for Colonel House a talk with the German Emperor, the audience was given at the "Scrippen Fest,” an annual military fest and spectacle at Potsdam. After the lunch the Colonel, whom Europeans regard as our best diplomat, talked with the Emperor and I with the Crown Princess. Later : I joined the Emperor and the Colonel,

Wilhelm*s Picture and Other Symbols Scrapped by Envoy WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. The former Kaiser’s picture at the German embassy has been scrapped. 1 Freiherr Edmund von Thermann, here to open the Teuton quarters, had it thrown into the discard with a lot of other symbols of the old regime. The embassy is being repainted and repapered after being closed for nearly five years.

and It was then that the Emperor proposed an alliance—an alliance, as he termed It, “to keep the peace” and to be composed of what he called the "four civilized powers—France, Great Britain, America and Germany.” This is a fact never before published. I have heard from diplomats of other countries that, from time to time the Emperor made similar offers; but that os investigation It was found that the Emperor did not seem to have the backing of his own official world. All such propositions looking to thft end of war, should be made openly, so that the great mass of the people who are against war In all countries, including Germany, may throw the weight of their numbers and their Influence into the scale of peace. If France should bring about the restoration of the part taken of Upper Silesia, to Germany, should show a desire to help the beaten foe and reduce the Indemnity, these acts would be a shield of protection to France far more effective than any army.—Copyright, 1921, by International News Service.
