FRANCE PESSIM|STIC
ON PEACE OUTLOOK
Last Call Of Reserve Is Notice
That War Will Be Fought
To Finish
BY william Sims.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, Sept. 17.-Franee sees no pros.
pect of peace, despite the heavily
mounting cost of hostilities. BY passing
the bill calling 100000 more of her
sons to the colors, the French parlia-
ment will notify Germany that the war
is to be fight to finish.
Officialdom today endorsed the state
ment of Premier Asquith, of England,
that the struggle is a gigantic battle
Of resources. Recent developments,
including the German machines failure
to crush the Russian armies, has con
vinced the French that the tide is
about to turn in favor of Germany Is
enemies.
Inasmuch as the class of 1917, called
to the colors in the newest draft sub
mitted to parliament, cannot take to
the trenches before day, this is re-
garded as an indication of belief that
the war is to continue at least an
other year. The orders to hold the
1883 class in readiness for service were
taken as Il precautionary measure, be-
cause otherwise it would have been
mustered out next month, under the
time limit. The bill introduced yester-
day makes them liable for service in
case Of an emergency.'

CAR NICHOLAS
DASHESEREcTAT|ONS
Liberal Element Had High
Hopes When Grand Duke
Was Denoted
By j. w. T. Mason.
(written Cor the United Press.l

written for the United Press
New York, Sept. l7.-Czar Nicholas
has repudiated expectations of the lib
erals which were aroused when Grand
Duke Nicholas was denoted.
Prorogation of the duma was the
hardest blow to the democratic move
ment since the Russian peasants failed
TO support the revolution of decade
ago.
1t is most deporable from the stand
point of democracy, that the ear should
have shown his repugnance for the
duma so quickly-after the liberals
overthrew the conservatives. 1t is not
the duma itself that the ear distrusts,
but rather the duma controlled by pro-
gressives who want human rights.
In his attitude toward that body the
czar has missed an opportunity volun-
tarily to ally Russia with western pro-
gress. Instead, be has turned to his
own spirit of irresponsible autocracy.
But, if he fails to save Russia from
defeat he must abandon his effort to
make Russia more autocratic than it
now is.
Whether the liberals can force him
to recognize the mistake he has made
without assistance from the German
armies-cannot be now answered.
Yet now is the time for them to at
tempt to force this realization upon
him. If they do not now seize this op-
portunity, but wait instead until the
war is over the czar win be able to use
the same bloody tactics with which he
put down the revolution a decade ago.
He cannot, however, fight the Teu-
tons and an internal revolution at the
same time.

BIG PACKING FIRMS
WILL FIGHT DECREE
COn6scation Of European Car
goes viii Be Resisted To
Last Ditch

Chicago, Sept. l7,-Big packing hous.
es, who suffered from yesterday s
British prize court confiscation of val.
liable meat cargoes, planned today to
make early protest to the British privy
council against the decision. They ex.
pect to follow this with an insistent de-
mand that the state department protest
the decision upon the ground that it
was a violation of international law and
a blow at the freedom of the seas.
Thirty-four ships loaded with Amer.
lean meat have been seized by the Bri-
tish since the fall of 1914. Packers ex-
planned that four of these were confis-
Gated and carried cargoes valued at
$2,5O0,O00, while the remaining thirty
are almost certain to be similarly con
fiscated. In that event, the total pack
ers loss will be $14,ooO,0OO.
Packing representatives were admit.
tedly pessimistic regarding the out
come of the appeal to the privy coun-
ell, and pointed out that this body has
seldom reversed the prize court decision
They are determined, therefore, TO fight
through diplomatic channels.
G. j. Faulkner, representing the Arm.
our company declared today that the
packers intend, however, to do all they
can through legal channels to force re.
dress from Great Britain.
The apparent hopelessness of the task
however, was emphasized from the fact
that he and Henry Veeder, Swift &
Co.'S representative, will go to Wash
ington Sunday to confer with Secretary
of State Lansing.
Faulkner formally took issue with
the prize court decision, calling unreas-
enable the deduction that the goods
were intended for Germany because of
the heavy increase in exports to con-
tiguous territory. The increase in ship.
ments to Denmark, he claimed, was due
to the fact that she was not receiving
her usual supplies from Germany. This
will be the chief argument which Faux.
ner and his assistant will present to
Secretary Lansing. Packers limited that
the blow comes "with mighty poor
grace" at time when the allies are
attempting to float big loan in this
country
They did not reply, however, to ques-
tions of whether they will attempt to
fight the loan project in retaliation.
Nor would they say whether any, hest
tation in shipping meat abroad under
present conditions would have the eff.
feet of lowering home prices.

CONFERENCE
NOW ON IN BERLIN
Effort Will Be Made to Settle
All Differences With Amer
lea For Good
BY Carl w. Ackerman.

Omitted Press staff correspondent.)
Berlin, Sept. l7.--An important series
of conferences designed to settle for
the remainder of the far all German
American differences began today, fol
lowing receipt of long communication
from Ambassador Won Berhstorff,
transmitted through American Ambas-
sadOr Gerard.
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg,
Foreign Secretary Won Jagow and
Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz constituted
the conferees on the Dernstorff mes
sage. II was understood to carry evi.
dence of the Arabic torpedoing, as gath
cred by the American state department
from sworn affidavits made to its dip
lomatic officials abroad.
Before Germany makes further reply
bankers, business men and government
department heads will be asked to ex-
press their views.
The conferees realize that the final
decision rests with Germany. Hence
it is intended that the reply shall be
the voice of the whole people.
Won Bcrnstorff will continue to play
an important role in negotiations be-
tween the two nations, it became known
today, thus disposing of reports that
his government did not approve his at
titude of conchiating the United States.
Rumms that one hears the most fire.
quently are:
First, that Won Bernstorff reported
to the foreign office that America
demands written, direct assurance
that submarines hereafter will not at
tack passenger carrying vessels without
warning, and without opportunity for
them to escape,
Second, that America is seeking as
surances that Germany will never make
war on her, and will never question
the Monroe doctrine
Third, that the whole German.Amer-
lean controversy will be settled by ar
bitration through The Hague tribunal.
The American situation has aroused
more interest than any phase of devcl.
opments arising from Germany's sub
marine warfare. The popular belief
is that the negotiations will end salts
factorily to both governments.
President Wilson 5 decision to con.
duct negotiations through private dis.
cussion between the two countries was
greeted most fayorably here. As Il
matter Of fact officialdom has never
been able to understand why Amer
lea desired to publish state documents.
