Suggestions for Bringing
Conflict to End Made
in Washington.
STATE SECRETARY
MAKING INQUIRIES
Sounds Representatives of
POWers-Dual Monarchy
May Sue in Is Days.
LErom The TrIbune Eu-ca

Washington, Sept. g.. Serious con
sideration is being given in Washing
ton to the prediction, frequently made
oy New York fnanciers familiar with
the resources Of European powers,
that a war Of the dimensions Of the
conflict now raging could not last more
than month.
The month has ended and sugges-
tions If peace, adroitly made. are the
subject Of intense diplomatic specula-
tiOn in Washington. On trustworthy
authority it NAV be said that intima-
tions have been made 10 Mr.. Bryan,
the Secretary of State. who has en-
deavored 20 ascertain to what extent
they proceeded from the powers in
volyed in hostilitics. Diplomatic rep
resentatIves of the powers have been
sounded. 1t remains to be seen
whether efforts already made will
lead to negotiations which may provide
a basis for mediation.
The Tact that the Kaiser had ad-
dreS srd personal communication
to the President deploring catastro-
phes Of the war gave impetus to
the peace discussion tonight. 1t was
not disclosed at the White House
whether the Kaiser made any reference
TO mediation or peace. NeverthC less
the tone Of the message was said TO
be encouraging from the point of view
OF administration officials VINO hope
that the vague intimations that the
time for mediation is near may re-
suit in definite action.
The intimations oStenSibly come
from German sources, although the OFF,
cial attitude Of the German Embassy is
that hostilities cannot end until Ger
many has triumphed. Representatives
of the allie1 powers, confident Of ulti.
mate success, take the view that the
peace suggestion is merely an attempt
TO unmask the attitude Of their govern
ments, and, accordingly, scout the idea
until there has been decisive issue to
the war
1t is assumed as probable that Ger
many would be willing to make a set
tlement on the basis of present condi-
tions, and for this reason the peace
suggestion, coming from German
sources, is looked on as a matter tor
serious consideration. The allies are
not disposed, however, according to the
attitude reflected by their representa-
tives in Washington, to settle on the
basis of present conditions.
The result Of the peace suggestion
although they have not led to anything
like definite purpose. and apparently
find the warning governments Tar apart
has at least been to give an impetus to
the discussion of mediation

WAR POEM BY
THOMAS HARDY

London, Sept. 9.-"The Times" to-day
published the following poem by
Thomas Hardy:
What of the faith and fire within us,
Men who march away,
Ere the barncOcks say
Night is growing gray,
To hazards whence no tears can win us?
What of the faith and fire within US,
Men who march away?
Is it a purblind prank, o think yOu,
Friend with the musing eye,
Who watch US stepping by
With doubts and dOlorous sigh?
Can much pondering 80 hOodwink you! !
is il a pUrblind prank. o think you,
Friend with the musing eye?
Nay, we see we'll what we are doing,
Though some may not see
Dalliers as they may be
England's need are we;
Her distress would set US rueinE;
Nav, We see well what We are doing,
Though some may not see.
In our heart of hearts believing
Victory crowns the just,
And that braggarts must
Surely bite the dust,
March we to the field ungrieving;
In our heart of hearts believing
Victory crowns the just.
Hence the faith and fire within us.
Men who march away,
Ere the barncOcks say
Night is growing gray,
To hazards whence no tears can win us; (;
Hence the faith and fire within US,
Men who march away.

GERMAN RIGHT

IEv Cable to The Tribune. ;

London, Sept. 1O.-"The Daily News"
to-day says:
Have the communication Of the
German right been cut? The question
is suggested in two ways: % by the
hurried retreat of this portion of the

the French official communique which
records violent and fruitless attacks
on the allies occupying the right bank
OF the Ourcq in an attempt to protect
their communications.
There is more than one indication

on the German right. Possibly the

making itself felt

KILL FLIES NOW
Suggestions for Anticipating the Dam
gers Of the Common House Fly by
Destroying the Survivors Of Last
Years Crop.

Flies cost the United States $685.,
000, 900 annually.
The present is the time to kill flies
before the weather becomes warm anc
the 'hold-overs" begin to propagate.
One Fly Now Means InnumerabIs
Billions Later On.
The determination Of the winter fly
is the duty Of the housewife and OF
every one. Don't let one escape
Catch and kill them all before spring
for the winter fly is the parent OF
summers destructive swarms.
The time to destroy the fly is before
il has had chance to lay its eggs.
Now is the time.
Capture EVERY one Of the filthy lit
tie pests you can find.
A single fly is capable Of depositing
$50 eggs at one time, and Of produc-
ing five or six patches during its short
life.
The progeny of single pair of
flies, assuming that they all live, if
pressed together at the end of the
summer, would occupy space of over
fourteen million cubic feet.
This would be equivalent to build
ing as large as the Woolworth build
ing.
These figures show the incalculable
possibilities of single fly and how
vital it is to destroy the winter flies.
Don't think because the flies do not
annoy you now that they should not
