graphite was produced in Montana. The
entire output Of natural graphite m
1914 showed an increase in value As
COMPARED with that of 1913 but slight
decrease in quantity. The lcssened pro-
duction was due TO the fact that the
OUTPUT OF low grade amorphous graphite

Concord, n. H., Aug. ll.--New Hamp-
shire interests in the leased lines, apart
from those who are conducting negot'a-
tions with the Boston & Maine, will in
sist that an alternative proposition pro-
viding for reduction of rentals be sub
mitted to the stockholders of the leased
lines when the bill allowing consolidation
is sent to the governor. The proposition
is that the leased lines forego their di-
yidends for four or FIVE years or submit
to 20 per cent reduction of dividends
for the same period This position has
been taken by the members of the ju-
dietary committee of the New Hampshire
legislature, before whom any bill will
come in the event of special session.
AT the hearings before the Judiciary
committee of the New Hampshire legis-
lature Judge James W. Remick and Clar'
ence Z. Carr as trustees OF large block
OF Concord & Montreal railroad stock
offered this alternative proposition to the
Boston & Maine plan of consolidation OF
the leased lines. The directors OF the
leased lines with the approval of the
stockholders now have power to vary
their contract with the Boston q Maine
to suit themselves.

British Press Is Angry over
Won Bethmann-Holl-
wegg's Suggestion
WAR TO GO ON UNTIL
BELGIUM is RESTORED
German Chancellor's State
ment Masterpiece of I'm
pudence," One Comment

| London, Aug. 1.-THE allies will hgh'
to the finish and make peace only OF
their own terms.
This was the general tone OF the angry
comments that came from the British
press yesterday on the message sent %
the United Press Monday by the Ger
man chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann- Holl'
wegg. regarding the terms on which the
kaiser would consent Of peace negotia'
tions.
Bethmann- Hollwegg's statement was
published in full throughout England
All the papers gave it prominent display
some even subordinating the war news
and making the German chancellor
message the most important news OF
the day. The majority of the London
papers. in addition, carried lengthy edi-
torial comments, expressing indignation
at what they termed the "impudence
of Germany's proposals.
The Daily Telegraph in column edl-
torial said in part:
"Bethmann- Hollweggs formula was IN
tentionally so conceived as TO cover any
thing from the lowest terms Germany
considers she could make without own
ing herself beaten to the utmost limits
of extortion. This will scarcely com
mend itself to neutral influences seeking
the basis for pacificatory action IN den
mite and just terms.
"Bethmann- Hollwegg's difficulty IS IN
deed hopeless. He knows neutral opIn'
ion is generally immovable on one point
viz: The REIMBURSEMENT OF Belgium
territory and full compensation to Bel
pium. He also knows that the ruling
classes in Germany, especially the now
omnipotent military caste, would now
regard abandonment of Belgium as ad.
mission that Germany's appalling and
ruinous losses were endured in vain.
"The plain truth is that Germany can
not PROFOUND any peace which neutrals
could approve. The allies are fighting
to secure Justice, liberty, and exact ret.
ribution. Unless Germany will yield
these points voluntarily, the peace she
gets in the end will be such as seems
Just and polite to her conquerors. The
making of peace overtures is hopeless
task for a government which proved TO
the world that its pledged word is
thing of nought."
