(By Tamillo Cianfarr)

Rome, March 13-It is reported on the highest authority that the Ger man ambassador von Beulow has offered mediation on condition that Italy agrees to support the German demands in the peace conference and vote with the central empire dele gates.
 The Italian Sy5ernment continues to maintain an impenetrable silence, regarding negotiations reported to be under way with Austria concerning territorial concessions.
 Nothing has been added to the semi-official announcement that Italy has instituted no negotiations, but simply has listened to proposals emanating from Germany through that countr:''s S ambassador.
 There are persistent reports in Rome that Austria has refused ab sclutely to consider the possible ces- sion of Trieste and would concede only a small part of the province of Trent.

TEUTONs BUY LITTLE
of the Half.Billion Already Taken m, Nearly All Has Come from Alhes. New England Factories All Work

New york, March 13.-A common estimate of the wars length is three years In the, first six months of the conflict the United States sold about S4OO 100000 in war supplies, not tax ing into consideration food stuffs de signed for civilian populations, but only army materials. By August l. our trade will reach $1,0UO,90c, ,OOo; and unless something occurs to check this phenomenal business three billion of dollars will have poured into the United States before the treaty of peace is signed
 Even if the war should stop rlgnt now. our trade in the materlals or war would soon reach billion, for most of the great contracts are written to be fulfilled without regard to the course of the war and run TOT two years, or even longer.
 Our gain would be even larger could we supply both sides. AS is. almost nothing is going to the Teutonic allies.
 The United States government or ficials are unable to give anythlne like correct figures of the trade Ill war supplies. A large proportion how large it is impossible to say goes to Canada first and is shipped from there to England, France, Rus sia. or one of their allies.
 There is no penalty for misbillina exports. Much gunpowder Is golns out in cases marked sugar or salt espe 3ially through Pacific ports te Russia by way of Vladivostock. :, Tn the most authoritative circles Il is estimated that the principal tems in the four millions of dollars Wortr ordered here in the first six months were: motor cars, $25.OO0,OOo; atms explosives ond the like, $lO5 ,OOO,Ooo; iron and steel, $65,0Oo,oo0; uniforms socks, sweaters, etc $So,coo'ooo chemicals and hospital supplies, $6'

Quick Cleanup of Holiday Packages.

The local postotlicc and express
forces were well satisfied with them
selves Saturday afternoon. Before the
two morning trains bringing mail and
express to town came in every par
eel pest package and every express
package that was in town either had
been delivered or was in the course of
delivery. All letter mail that was ON
hand Christmas morning was taken by
the mail carriers on their one delivery
for the day that morning.
The express company did not deliver
express that came in during Christmas
day, but the postoffice force called for
the teams and men who were handling
the parcel post and sent out in the
afternoon all parcel post packages that
came in on the morning trains or on
the trains due at . clock. Ii was the
most satisfactory handling of the
Christmas business locally on record,
and the moro remarkable because of
the fact that the business was far
larger than ever before.

it continued TO snow furiously, the
storm assuming blizzard proportions In
the afternoon it grew steadily colder,
but cleared.

caused n call to be sent early Sun
day morning for the section gang to
