Tae WaahlBartoa Pom an Wort Berlin via Amstsrdam Oct 1 That Germany i ready to accept the pacific Idea of a world court of arbitration tnd that ahe should If ehs acted according to her real feelings make Jcnown her willingness to cooperate with America and other nations In such a plan ti argued by Prol Han Del erueck the noUd historian and political writer In the current number of his Prussian yearbook He says that Oermanr would and should join the growing movement for the creation of some practical form or a world tribunal which would have for Its purpose the settling of disputes between nations by amicable agreements on principles of Justice Instead of by force of anna Might Shorten the War Such an announcement by Germany the historian declares might go far toward taking the edge off the allies gTlmly announced determination of pro lonrinr the war Indefinitely because of far of Germany In the future Also It might tend to shorten the war If made at this time Germanys lack of enthusiasm for pacific movements in the past and her failure to subscribe to William Jennings Bryans arbitration treaties have helped to form one of the great causes for the suspicion distrust and dislike of the fatherland fW by the world In general and America In particular Prof Delbrueck asserts Status of Arbitration Changed He Justifies Germanys coolness toward International court schemes In the past but asserts that the reasons which largely actuated her In days gone by are no longer likely to obtain after this war He contends further that general sentiment In favor of pacific measures for the settlement of disputes has now probably crystallised to such an extent in all nations that It has become a factor In the enforcement of arbitration doorees that can be reckoned with In a practical way which was not the case prior to this war Prof Delbrueck attributes the unfriendly attitude of other nations toward Germany to the undeserved repute she has for being warlike and aggressive With our opponents he sava the Idea prevails Just as with us that they are ftghttng a defensive war They believe Germany started the war to ob tain domlnattlon and therefore iS British

yesterday were without success the war office announced today Since October 10 the Austrlans and Germans have captured more than 10000 Roumanians TO OUST GEBMAH PEEES feel that the war must be continued until It Is impossible for Germany to renew such a criminal attempt Must Rely on Sword Now That is the sense of their words about our destruction which sound so absurd to us We may give as many assurances as we like and be ever so sincere but we are not believed JJWere there some means by which could give our opponents especially our Western foes a better aadimfre oorrctt opinion of our character and our aspirations there ll no doubt we would Immediately be much nearer peace But there is no suoh means There remains nothing but to trust to the German sword and fight on until our opponents see that they will have to 1st us remain as a great power Xet us recognise that It Is impossible to tear out by the roots the distrust against our aspirations but there still remains the question whether It IS not practicable at least to effect a certain amount of blunting off that might lighten the work of our soldiers and perhaps make possible the shortening of the war Arbitration Forwarded by Germany Prof Delbrueck thinks that Germany might be able to make some Impression with her assurances of peaceful aspirations by a disclaimer of her alleged thoughts of world dominion and might blunt off this repute by making known her readiness to cooperate with other nations for a permanent peace throughout the world Prof Delbrueck points out the arbitration agreement with England In ltOt and declares that Germany has repeatedly shown In a practical way her willingness to adjust disputes In The Hague court for example the Veneeuela and Casablanca cases and he has Included In a number of Important treaties unconditional arbitration clauses and among others the Morocco treaty with France The writer speaks of the general complaint that Germanys bad reputation throughout the wld exists because of her rejection of the paclflstlo movement Great Damage Done What Incalculable damage has It caused us he continues that public opinion in the United States has taken an attitude against us In making peace we will have to taste many examples of this attitude Delbrueck contends that arbitration would not have averted the world war but that with the new sentiment and ths nsw conditions created by this war there Is no reason why arbitration could not prevent war In ths future The historian finds the genesis of this war in Russias aspirations for Constantinople and the Dardanelles He asserts no court of arbitration could have removed that desire on the part of Rus cla or stilled ber aspirations OoprrtlM 181a br Pre PnbUsttar Co Sunday la New York A Real Trvat SXOO
