two TURNS DOWN PEACE i OFFER IN CONTEMPT American Living in Geneva Approached by German Agent OFFER WASINTENDED FOR PRESIDENT WILSON I'rof. Heron, Friend ol President, Scores German Overtures. London.?A story of how an attempted peace offensive directed toward President Wilson was turned down igncminiously by Prof. Heron, an American living in Geneva, is told by the Swiss correspondent of The Daily Mail in his dispatch dated a> Anneir.ns. e. on the FrancoSwiss frontier. Praf. Her m in dose!'bed as a friend of President Wiinon. The German government, according to the cor. spondent, tried to get pare offers sent to the President through Prof. Ilcron, who was visited on April 19 by Prof. Quidde, of M>?nwhi. :i fi'ipnfl of Hnnr.t von the imperial German chancellor. Tier. Quickie war- accompanied by the Dutch pacified, Dr. Jong* Van Beek. Prof. Quickie raid lie had come to prepare the way fov a merciful peace and gave Prof. Heron to understand that he spoke for Chancellor von Her tling and the German foreign office. He assured the American professor that the peace party in the Reichstag was about to gain predominance in Germany and that he wished to prepare President Wilson to take advantage of that auspicious moment. The Terms. Germany, Prof. Quiddc said, was willing to make the following terms: ' First To.grant autonomy to AD sase-Ldrraine within the limits of the German empire, provided the Allies would hot broach the subject of Alsace Lorraine at the peace conference. Second The Brest-Litovsk peace treaties not to be discussed at the peace conference, although the Allies might submit claims for the revision of them and Germany might make certain concessions. . Third?No economic.war.? against Germany after the war. Fourth?German colonies to be restored. Prof. Quidde asserted that the pros ent offensive in France had the ultimate objective 01 achieving a dur able peace. Heron's Reply. Prof. Heron, the Daily Mail's correspondent writes, after listening to the German educator, exclaimed: "I wonder that you have the effrontery to ask me to lay such a rigamarole of a cant deceit before the American people. Far from cheating Si spirit of conciliation, it would simply strengthen the American will to smash the perfidious and nefarious offer of such proposals. "The United States intends to continue the fighting until the Prussian military power, and, if necessary, the Prussian state along with it, is extinguished forevei, as a power for evil, whether it takes one year or ten. "If you call the remorseless sacrifice of two million men a peace offensive, and if you want the United pistes to recognize your shelling of Parisian congregations and churches 5i> a part of it, you are making a monstrous and foolish blunder. "When I listen to your false and treacherous overtures, I feel ashamed of humanity." Prof. Quidde, adds the correspondent, left the house weeping. The next week Prof. Heron was beseiged by ru \v officers by telephone, one of the speakers saying he was Dr. W. S. i>e'f, German colonial minister. Prof. Heron talked straight to all of them, UUing them, among other things tbat ''the United States no longer mants j-eace. It wants to sweep out the Aegean stables at Potsdam." Prof, Heron, the dispatch adds, told toe <story to the correspondent an<l . laughed triumphantly. He said he believed the Germans were at last convmced that the United States intends to stay in the war until its righteous objects are achieved. The Prof. Quidde referred to above Is probably Prof. Ludwig Quidde, a historian of the University of Munich in the Bavarian cabinet. Chancellor Ton Hcrtlin<?; is a Bavarian and wa.j formerly Bavarian prime minister.

Private estimates within the last week have placed the prospective crop at from 600,000,000 to 650,000,000 bushels. While the acreage of winter wheat was the largest over planted, being 402.170,000 acres, it was below what the government had expected in its campaign to produce a billion bushels of wheat this year to help feed the Allies. Adverse conditions and a shortage of farm help wore ascribed as the cause of the failure to plant *he acreage planned by the government. gate to the twentieth universal peace conference at The Hague in the fall of 1913. In moving before that conI ferencc a proposal for gradual disarm ament, Prof. Quiddc severely blamed Germany for the increase in armaments in Europe. He said that there would have been no increase by France, but for the action of Germany. o fl?

The expulsion of both men, it said, was ordered under the Mexi.an constitution, which provides for the summary deportation of ''pernicious foreigners," without trial dr hearing.
