PEACE PROPOSALS
CREATE INTEREST
AMONG DIPLOMATS
IRYIEAsEp WIRE.l

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Reports
til at Germany is to open the subject
Of peace proposals were received with
great interest by Washington officials
II oday, particularly in view OF the situa
I ion on the Dardanelles.
It was expected that President Will
son promptly would use his good
offices to promote the interests OF
peace if the slightest opportunity Of
fered. Should the German chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg, made a strong
stand for an early cessation of hostil
tiles, it was stated the United States
would do al in its power to bring the
belligerents together for discussion
of the terms.
Interest Revived.
The sinking of three more British
ships by German submarines revived
Washington interest in the situation
created by Great Britain's declaration
of the trade embargo on Germany
Nothing yet has been heard from Sir
Edward Grey on the inquiry by the
United States as to the methods by
which Great Britain purposes to carry
out her new policy, but it is taken as
a foregone conclusion that his reply
will not change the present status ma.
terially. 1t is recognized by officials
that Sir Edward Grey's reply may
come at a time when it may decide the
fate of the peace movement.

From here we visited the swampy
thicket still standing near, directly
northeast of the blockhouse some for.
ty rods away. The first road running
north and south. east of the river,
passes through this thicket, and John
Shortridge, riding on Isaiah Drury's
white horse and wearing Drury's over
coat. was just emerging from the
south edge Of the thicket going to-
wards the blockhouse, when he was
shot. He rode on to within few feet
of the fort when he fell from his horse
Soon after he fell he was carried from
this fort to this fort near Germantown
Word of the fall of Shortridge was
sent on north to the Boyd fort and
Samuel X. Boyd and Larkin Harding
went down and stayed with Shortridge
until his death the next day. For

For some time after we got this

the note given in the history of Wayne

more definite. for he took US to the

INDIANAPOLIS. March 1O.-Feder.
al Judge Albert B. Anderson today ad-

man Stanley of Kentucky, when the
latter insisted on entering objections
to questions put by District Attorney
Daley at the trial of Mayor Don H.
Hoberts and score of Terre Haute
politicians on trial for conspiracy in
alleged election frauds In Vigo county.
Judge Anderson previously had ruled
that Dailey's interrogation were per.

conspiracy had been acknowledged by
Lightweight co-defendants who had
pleaded guilty to the indictment, and
1t remained only to determine who

Stanley insisted that those who had
pleaded guilty did SO in technical
way and had not intended to admit
that conspiracy existed. The state.

Roberts, who opened today's session.
was remarkably brief. Judge Roby ad-
mitted in defense that frauds were per-
petrated in the Terre Haute election
last fall, but declared the defense
would resist the charge that a conspir.
acy existed, and maintained that no
state or federal law had been violated.
The government today began the
examination of some $50 witnesses,
the questioning being aimed specific
ally at the establishment of a conspir-
acy on the part Of the several de-
fendents.

 Following tEis folder. which goes broadcast wherever it will do any good there will go out copies of the recent letter of Vice President Thomas R.

 The 5000 acre tract needed for the home will be discussed at later meet nSs. It is practically assured, how ever, that this piece of land can be se- cured.
 All the work the committees are do- ing has been figured down to q fine point ot economy. The entire cost of printing and mailing the folders and letters, the badges and other forms of advertising will amount to about s45O.
