RUNYAN TO ARMSTRONG. -
divide and govern is an old Roman
proVeTb. It was probably used thou
sands Of years before, and it is GER
tainly in use today.
The letter of Frank A. Armstrong
is a case in point. He says he would
like to cast vote for Stedman for
mayor, but fears it would be only an
indirect way of casting a vote for
Sweitzer, Hearst, Sullivan & Co., and
that is something every wage-earner
should guard against.
Ye gods and little fishes, what fools
we mortals be! Suppose all wage
eaTners rallied to the support of
Thompson and elected him. What
would be the result? We would trade
SweitzeT, Hearst, Sullivan & Co. and
get Thompson, Lawson, Lorimer &
Co. SWeitzer, Hearst, Sullivan, Lori
mer, Thompson and Lawson are all
in politics for power, jobs, contracts,
etc. If you, Mr.. Armstrong, expect a
job or contract, or are in charge of
some large business where you want
political influence to cut your taxes,
close an alley or build building con-
trary to ordinance, etc., you should
do all you can, even to casting your
vote for the particular side from
which you expect the favor But it is
possible that you, as a wage-eaTner,
may be on strike some time within

Trio Assert They Never "Signed Anything Be
 lieve Widow Innocent.
PROVIDENCE MAN
 THREATENED MOHR
Chauffeur of Murdered Physician Says He Found Letter from Prominent Man Who Said He'd Fill Him
 Full of Bullets"

Providence, R. l., Sept. 4.-Anothe1 amazing chapter in the mysterious assassination of Dr. c. Franklin Mohr was written this afternoon when the three negroes upon whose testimony Mrs. Elizabeth Tiffany Blair Mohr, the wealthy physicians wife, was ar rested on charge of murder, repudi- ated in every detail their alleged con- fessions.
 ''Tell the people that we are abso- lutely. innocent" said George Healus, Mohr's chauffeur. who, with Henry Spellman and Victor Brown, were held as Mrs. Mchr's accomplices.
 We believe that Mrs. Mohr, too, is innocent. and knew nothing whatever about this crime. We never signed a confession and anything so said to the police was done in a joking way or in spirit of anger.'
 "The police dragged me up and down the room." said Brown, ''and shouted You know who killed pr. Mohr.' I said, Well, just to have you quiet, I'll say l did, 1 never signed anvthing."
 The repudiations were made volun- tarily and without the knowledge of counsel. They came as a complete surprise, having been given to news paper men who had been admitted to the jail yard. Healus and Brown did most of the talking.
 Police Admit They're at Sea.
 Confronted by these developments, the Providence police tonight admit ted that for three days they have sought industriously for evidence to corroborate the alleged confessions of the three negroes, but without avail
 Chief O'Neil, head of the bureau of detectives, denounces the repudiation of the confessions, and declared they will yet be proven to have been made.
 Brown and Spellman declare they can prove an alibi.
 'Dr. Mohr to my knowledge, had been threatened by several prominent Rhode Island people," said Healus to- night. "I found letter in his car from man living on Elmwood ave- nue in which he threatened the doc tor, and said if he did not cease his attentions to his wife, he would fill him full of bullets

Will Not Make Overtures, But Willing to Accept
 Any Suggestions.
STANDING FOR SEAS
 FREE TO ALL NATIONS
Catholic to Rule Kingdom of Poland, and Serbia Will Disappear from Map. Courland Desired by ka!ser-ln.
 demnitieS Not Mentioned.
(By Wm. B. Stevenson )

Washington, Sept. 4.-Germany will make no overtures of paace, l learn from a high source, but she will re- ceive hospit2bly any suggestions of p:ace from any belligerent Or from any neutral nation like the United States, acting for humanitys sake, and will make known terms on which she will make peace.
 I am also able to give a definition Of the vague term "frse5om of the seas" which has appeared so often in offical or semi-official statements rom Germany.
 Real Freedom of Seas.
 What Germany reans by free dom of the seas" in peace, after the pres ent war is in substance, this:
 She wants an iron-clad internation- al agreement, to which, of course, Great Britain would be a party, pro- viding that in all future wars private property of all nations shall be free at sea; that the merchant ships, even of belligerents, when bound on peace full errands and not carrying num- tions of war, shall not be molested by enemy warships; that every nation when at war shall be free to carry on it's ordinary foreign commerce un- interrupts Sly That it's warshtps, munilion ships and ether admiralty vessels shall alone be subject to at tack like fortified towns.
 The other terms Of pe3ce accept able to Germany whan she is asked arc:
 The erection of an independent kingdom of Poland as a buffer staEe between Russia and Germany, with Roman Catholic monarch and equal ity for the Jews.
 Cession Of part, if not all, of Courland by Russia to Germany.
 Russia to grant autonomy to Fin land.
 Exit Serbia.
 Serbia to be divided between Aus tria and Blgaria, with possibly a small morsel for Greece. Serblan sovereignty to cease.
 Belgium to be restored the Bel gians, Germany to receive as com pensation for evacuating Belgium the Congo Free State in Africa, now owned by Belgium. ,.
 France to cede her tAfrican colonial territory to Germany as compensation for Germany giving up Northern France.
 Great Britain to restore all of Ger African colonies.
 Germany to retain all of Alsace- Lorraine.
 No war indemnities are mentioned in this category of demands by Ger many for granting peace.
 This is the first direct expression of the German government looking toward cessation of international hos tilities through "a third party. :.
 The International News services informant is "a man of the highest standing. both in the United States and Germany. and his views reflect those of the German government.

MANY WAYS TO FIX PEPPERS

w Is the time to make the many
tempting dishes wherein they
play an important part. The pepper is
not nearly as well known as an ad-
dition to the Northern table menu as
it should he. for it Is so useful, deco
rative and delicious prepared in ways
familiar to Southern cooks, Crcolcs
and MeXicans more especially.
About the only way in which the
pepper is served in our hotels and
restaurants Is stuffed and baked,
chopped in salad or rs a %garnish.
OF course as a food seasoning II il
Of recognized value, but one is con-
sclous of its presence in the dish
only by its bite. Occasionally il comes
to table in pepper sauce at oyster
season, for in some unexplainable way
tradition has linked the favorite hi
valve and the pepper together and
the presence of one Is sure To have
The accompaniment of the other.
Spanish peppers in oil come canned
for winter use, while pimentos form the
spot of color in many bottled pickles
Of various kinds, but this is about
the extent of our peppery acqualn-
lance with them. In olden days New
England housewives used 10 gather
their peppers on the first sunshiny day
after they had reached maturity and
had been we'll washed by "A recent
rain. They would then string and dry
the peppers in the same manner they
did their apples for winter use, but the
, necessity for that mode Of prepare
ton has passed with the entrance
into our savory seasoning list of pa
prika and all the other peppery pow
ders boxed and bottled that are now
offered the housekeeper at a minimum
expense.
The pepper plants are So decorative
while growing In the garden that M
kitchen gardener with an eye for
color feels his garden IL complete

pers themselves e not appreciated
