LONDON, May 16.—The British Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
Arthur J. Balfour, in giving explanations in the House of Commons to-
day in connection with Emperor Charles' letter to Prince Sixtus of
Bourbon recently made public by the President of the French Repub-
ic declared that no effort at conversations has ever been made by
6 C«f/l'ra' Powers 'n interest of a fair and honorable peace, he added:
any representative of any belligerent country desires seriously to lay
before us any proposals, we are ready to listen to them."
rho i, 'et'jrJn I"*;,''0" had been examined by a committee of the French
chamber, said Mr. Balfour, and the conclusion rcached was that it did not pro-

Mr. Balfour said the conversations which
mston Doumerglue, formerly French
' re,"l<Jr and Foreign Minister, had with
tne Russian Emperor in 11)16 regarding a
bigger Alsace-Lorraine which France
would demand, were not known to Groat
Britain until very much later. They had
no international hearing, he said, and didn't
pledge Great Britain. The British govern-
ment never gave the least encouragement
to any such notion.
any information as to what was passing?
Did the Prime Minister inform the Foreign
Office at the time of the fact that the com-
munication had been shown to hlraV Why
were the negotiations dropped? Was it oh
purely territorial grounds? Was it because
a demand was made by France not onlv for
Alsace-Lorraine but for the 1K14 line or
even the 1790 line?
Mr. Balfour explained that he held no
secrets from President Wilson. lie was in
America at the time and had not gone very
thoroughly into the matter The letter,
however, had been conveyed by Prince Six-
tus to President Poincare and the French
Premier under seal of the strictest secrecy.
Only tbe British sovereign and Premier
were to see it. Therefore it was not com-
municated to the President of the United
States and the American Government was
no better informed of facts regarding the
letter than he was himself.
Former Premier Astjuith, who followed
Mr. Balfour, said :
"To whatever quarter, be it with ade-
quate authority and in real good faith, an
appeal is tuade. if it is based on substan-
tial considerations it will not be made to
deaf ears. The whole house is glad of the
assurance that not only in matters of this
kind, but in all matters, we have kept no
secrets from President Wilson. We could
not carry on a struggle of this kind with-
out complete mutual confidence."
With regard to the supposed claim of
France to the line of 1S14 he gathered that
the allegation that President Poincare put
forward this demand was totally without
foundation so far as Mr. Balfour "knew. He
regarded with still more satisfaction Mr.
Balfour's declaration that this had never
been one of the war aims of the British
government and so far as he knew it had
not been and was not the settled policy of
the French government.
"Is that right?" he asked the secretary,
ami Mr. Balfour replied: "I think so."
Mr. Asquith said he was extremely glad
and he thought the world would be to
hear it.
An extended Alsace Lorraine, the speak-
er declared, was not a subject which should
ever he contemplated seriously and he did
not think it ever was a fixed part of the
foreign policy of tbe French government
for any length of time.
The Foreign Minister also said the ponr
parlers over the Austrian Emperor's letter
were not interfered with by the demand
or France for an extension of territory
beyond her boundaries of 1S70. There was
no evidence now or at any time, he added,
that German government circles contem
plated the possibility of what "we should
regard as a reasonable peace—a peace
which would secure the freedom of the
world and freedom for those who are in
danger of German domination."
Former Premier Asquith, who follewed
Mr. Balfour, said that while in his judg-
ment there bad not been and could not be

ROME. May 16.—An Aus-
trian battleship was torpedoed
by Italian naval forces in Pola
Harbor early Tuesday morning,
it was officially announced to-
day.
The battleship was of the
Viribus Unitus type (20,000-tcn
vessels).
The Italian force worked its
way into the Austrian naval base
by dodging the patrol boats and
searchlights of the defenders.
While the naval operation was
progressing an Italian seaplane
force engaged Austrian battle
planes above Pola. Two of the
Austrians were brought down
and several others were com-
pelled to descend out of con-
trol. The Italian machines all
returned safely.

WASHINGTON. I>. C., May 10.-If Pres-
ident Wilson his his way, investigation
into the aircraft situation will be handled
exclusively by Charles E. Hughes. He pre-
fers this method to any investigation by a
Congressional committee. The Chamber-
lain resolution, clothing the Senate Mil
itary Affairs Committee with authority to
investigate. Iihs brought the Administra
tlon face to face with one of tbe sharpest
fights iu Cougress since the war begau.
President Wilson toduy issued orders
that the resolution must he killed. Here-
tofore his objection hiis been merely to tile
form of the resolution which would have
permitted an inquiry into the whole eon-
duct of the war. But his final word to
his advisers in the Senate, delivered today
to Senator Thompson, is that the lnvestigi* •
tlon by the committee is not wanted at pi I.
Entire reliance Is placed in former Justice
Hughe* to carry on Slicb an investigation
as may be necessary to bring out all of tue
facta.
When Senator Thompson left the White
House to carry the dictum of the President
to the Senate, he said:
"It means a fight."
Both sides began to lay plans for the
battle which will come on the question of
whether the Chamberlain resolution as
modified by the majority of the Committee
on Audit and Control of which Thompson
is chairman, shall be paaied. Final Action
on the resolution may not come before
next week.
Senator Chamberlain expressed the opin-
ion the resolution would be passed by a
slim majority. He declared he had done
nothing to poll the Senate or to emibt
votes In suport of the measure.
Administration Senators sought to ob-
tain votes against the resolution upon the
principle laid down by the President in
his letter to Senator Martin that the Seu-
ate's action on the resolution would be
either a vote of confidence or a reflection
upon his Administration. They decline,1
to make any prediction as to the outcome.
Telegrams were being sent tonight to J
number of Democratic Senators who are
out of tbe city, urging them to be in at-
tendance when the resolution is brought
up. If all of those w hose votes are needed
to defeat, the resolutions are not here by
Saturday a filibuster is expected.

mittee on Audit and Control was presented

many's conditions of peace are clearly stated in a document found in a German
trench recently recaptured by entente allied troops. A resume of the principal
conditions as given in an official translation reads:

with Antwerp, is to remain under (•erinan

powers being allowed a commercial fleet
totalling 17,800.000 while that of the allies
should amount to 10,900,000.
"(Mir colouies shall be returned with aug-
mentation.
"The Longwy and Briey mine fields,
which furnished France its weapons for
attack, shall become German.
"Readjustments of the frontiers, par
ticularly in tbe Vosges, are to be wade
according to the military situation and
the appreciation of the commandant our
frontiers must be such that their defense
is made easier."
"Tbe former German Baltic province*

PARIS, May 10. — Reports from all blUi-s
confirm the report that there is bad blood
between Turkey and Bulgaria. They show
that the young Turks are carrying on a
bitter press campaign against Bulgaria,
the keynote of their attacks being the
charge that Turkey was betrayed by the
central empires in behalf of Bulgaria. The
Bulgarian press adopts an almost men
acing tone toward Turkey.
Kmperor Charles of Austria and his new
foreign Minister. Baron Rurhiu, leave to-
morrow for Constantinople and Sofia, ac-
cording to Vienna advices, in hope of
settling the grave situation between
the two capitals. Meanwhile the German
ambassador at Constantinople (Count Von
Bernstorff, formerly German ambassador
at Washington! is making frantic efforts
to pacify public sentiment in Turkey. He
is sending a long personal report to tne
Kaiser.
Turkey, according to dispatches from
various sources, particularly from Athens,
is enraged over the vast territorial spolia
accorded to Bulgaria by the Bucharest
peace treaty. Turkish feeliug is intensified
by Bulgaria's opposition to Turkeys
claims to Adrianopic and elsewhere.

PARIS, May 16.—The United StateS
has promised to have 1,500,000 fighting
men in France by the end of 1918, says
L'Homme Libere, Premier Clemen-
ceau's newspaper. These troops, it |
j adds, must have their own organization '
j and services, which will mean at least,
j 2,009,000 specialists, workers, men ini
'the quartermaster's department and i
others.
The newspaper says certain misun-
derstandings which have existed have
been cleared up and that under no cir-j
cumstances will allied workers or sol- J
diers replace French workers in fac-
tories. The presence of American 1
workers on French soil will be in direct j
consequence of the presence of Ameri-j
can fighters on the front.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 16.—An-
nouncement by Premier Clemenceau's
newspaper that the United States has
promised to have 1,500,000 fighting
men in France by the end of this year,!
seems to forecast complete fulfillment*
of Secretary Baker's predictions of last
January before the Senate Military
Committee.
The exact nature of any promises the*
United States has made to the co-bel-
ligerents probably cannot be disclosed
for military reasons. Mr. Baker, how-
ever, last January told the Senate com-
mittee the United States would have
500,000 men in France early in the year
and a million more ready to go within
the year, provided shipping facilities
were available.
Announcement that the first part of
his prediction has been more than ful-
filled was made some time ago. The
announcement by Premier Clemen-
ceau's newspaper that the remainder of
the prediction is to be fulfilled seems
to indicate shipping difficulties are on
the way to solution and that the year's
program of 1,500,000 fighting men on
the soil of France before next winter
will be realized.
