The division itself did not actually figure in the war game, but signal nen, scouts, battalion commanders, liaison officers and patrols operated Just as if a real pursuit of a real enemy was being carried out by the real men of the Liberty Division.

Real messages ticked over the wires; orderlies moved, from one table to another, and advances and repulses were scored on the map. Outside the building stod long lines ot automobiles and horses. The scene was Just as it might have been, and as it soon will be at the headquarters of the 79th Division somewhere in France, somewhere in Belgium or possibly somewhere in Germany.

SENSIBLE BY ARTHUR E. MANN, (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, May 18 (By Mail)). Germany is always on the offenslvo, When Hindenhurg and Ludendorff aren't throwing their troops against tha Allied line in France and Bel-glum the enemy propaganda agents In Switzerland ere besieging neutral and Allied opinion with insidious stories of the Central powers' peaceful Intentions. The latter Campaign Is being reckoned with renewed vigor, according to official reports. Anticipating the onforced cessation of the We3t front battle, Germany and Austria have sent additional legions of peace mongers to Switzerland and these arc now engaged in the peace "ofien-Kive." Emperor Karl Is personally represented by a very active agent named Bamburger, who is concentrating principally on Italy.

He is industriously putting out stories that the much advertised prospective Austrian offensive will take place only if Italy refuses to consider "reasonable" terms Irom her enemies. So far he is not meeting with much The Italians are confident of victory If the Austrians attack. Their, positions have benn splendidly organized both for defense and offense and this time there are hardly likely to be any Germans to assist the forty Austrian divisions on the line. SAME OLD GAMR. The German agents are playing the same old game of putting out fanciful peace terms.

The latter include the evacuation of Belgium and France, the return of the German colonies, no Indemnities, and a discussion of the future of French These are more less hackneyed propositions, but there is an interesting addition which is rather significant. The agents say Germany wants to discuss the question of a "revision" of the Hrest-Lltovsk treaty. There is sufficient evidence already at hand to prove that Germany has no desire to "revise" the treaty sgainst herself if she can help it, but the political leaders are beginning to worry about the unfavorable imwession the treaty has made not only throughout the rest of the world but within the Central emplret as well. The German Idea la to get a revision of the treaty which will be sanctioned by the in order to strengthen the Pan-German and military parties against the growing opposition of the liberal and radical Reichstag group and particularly of Austria-Hungary. WOI5 SHIP LUDEXDOItFF.

Another new feature of the German propaganda is the glorification of Ludendorff. Hindenburg, who has in the past been advertised as tha rough, overbearing military hero, is now pushed into the background, and Ludendorff brought forward, not primarily as a great soldier but as a great statesman a second Bismarck. The German game here is very evident. The Junkers hope, when they have no further use for Ludendorff as a fighter, to introduce him into.
