PEACE TERMS TO EXACT

WASHINGTON, October 2-From
an authority whose sources of informa,

able, both from POLITICAL. and eccle.
siastic standpoint, | have tonight an
interesting story of the terms of peace
that the German Emperor was discuss

on the eastern front, after the long re-
treat of the Russians had raised the
hopes of his staff to the highest point
since the beginning of the war. My
informant had the story closely from

upon the nations:
The freedom of Poland would be
demanded of Russia.

with Turkey, Germany's ally, in ex
change for the restoration of some OF
the original territory of Turkey in Eu

The enormous appeal which these
conditions would make to the Jewish
race, to the Irish people who were
not reconciled to England even under
home rule, TO the Catholic clergy and
laity throughout the world, and to tn,
Poles and Slavs of the Balkan States
was to be relied upon to compensate
international public opinion for some
of the mighty indemnities which were
to be asked from some of the allied ma
tions, and for the retention of some OF
the territory now held in Belgium an,
France.

Of these Mexican leaders, as furnished athe

study. Says this authority: +
/ ,"Carranza was Formerly lawyer and an am

Northern Mexico. He was an intimate friend and
partisan of Gen. Bernardo Reyes, who was ffors
many years Governor of the contiguous State of
Nuevo Leon and an aspirant for the presidency.
Diaz, who distrusted Carranza for his ambitions,
procured his election senator, to keep him quiet
and near enough to be under surveillance, But
Carranza wanted to be Governor OF Coahuila,
and with the active aid of General Reyes all ar
rangements were made to elect him in 1910

Carranza were bfttery angered. movement Tor
Reyes for President was started and CarranZa
was one of the leaders. 1t failed, and it was not
until March, 1911, when the Madero revolution
seemed sure to win, that Caranza joined it. In
1912 under Madero, Carranza realized his anbi-
ton to become Governor of Coahuila.
"Carranza refused to recognize Huerta as
President after the assassination Of Madero, and
led the revolutionary party as First Chief of the
Constitutionalists, cooperating with Villa until
June, 19l4,-when they separated, principally be-
cause Villa knew he the stronger man and
was determined to exercise the power he pos
sessed without taking orders from Carranza.
Carranza has ever since maintained martial rule

populous part Of the country on the East Coast

Lansi,1g's Ace Gone

wv IETHER one credits the various reports Of
!" wholesale captures and wholesale destruc-
ton of German submarines by the British navy, at
least it is singular how completely the tables seem
to have been turned during the past three weeks
so far as the underwater warfare is concerned.
The sinking of British and neutral vessels bound
for British ports has practically ceased while Brit
ish submarines are hunting German shipping off
the waters of the Baltic, the only sea which had
been left open to the Teutons
y. This situation is bound to have an effect upon
the diplomatic exchanges now under way between
this country and Great Britain. The main Amer
lean contention concerning the British blockade
of the German ports has been that the blockade
is not effective, nasmuch as the Baltic ports are
open and Scandinavian trade with Germany unin-
terfered with Unless the dispatches OF late have
very much msstated the situation, the British sub
marines which have threaded the Cattegat have
deprived Secretary Lansing OF his trump ace.

Clear Out the Bra111bles

WYE do not agree with those who believe that

tory and that only requires the election of good

have now and we have had before good men in

handicapped by the limitations of the City and
County Act and little able to do anything Of
themselves that they have simply sumPed in with

What is needed most of all in charter revision
is provision whereby the good men" we elect will
not be wasted in governmental system that ham

and authority that very little can be done.
There are good men in the present board of

corn and if he succeeds in raising a
good product he no doubt will be able
to keep steady supply in the HonOll-
Ia market. Island Irish potatoes arc
selling slowly in competition with Cali,
fOrnia spuds.
According to report from the feed
dealers the price of dried corn is likely
to take q big drop in the near future,
due to large impOrtations from tho
Orient. 1t is said that the local grow
ers refused to accept a reasonable price
for their corn and that the dealers were
forced to buy outside corn against
their wishes. This is unfortunate, if
true, and may mean that the grower
will have to sell at much lower price
in order to compete with imported
corn.
The price. of hides has dropped IL,

Berlin Nearing.
Water Wagon

nROHIBITION in rather more than limited
degree has been brought to Berlin through
the and the restrictions regarding the sale of
distilled liquors in Greater Berlin, which were
proposed in August by Police President Won ia
Cow to the governing authorities, have gone into
effect. They are so drastic that landlords and dis
tillers in despair, and the general public feels
that its indulgence in schnaps" and similar drinks
is to be very largely curtaed. at.
The rules now laid down forbid the sale of dis
titled liquor except between nine in the morning
and nine at night-the sale in restaurants having
women mattresses and bar maids the sale in
automatic" restaurants and the sale to drunken
persons The liquor may be sold only for cash,
and must be drunk on the premises
Only casual examination of the rules does
not reveal how drastic they are Relatively few
persons, because of the late working and eating
hours in Berlin have either desire opportunity
to indulge in spiruous liquors until after the new
closing hour. g..
Secondly, scores of restaurants and cafes now
have female employees in place of the walters who
have been drawn into the army, and therefore
these cafes are barred from making their former
profitable sales.
Thirdly, the provision that the liquor must be
drunk on the premises deals blow to a bottle
trade that heretofore has assumed considerable
proportions especially in the less pretentious cafes
and saloons. Practically the only provision to
which there is no objection is that governing sales
to drunken persons. ..
President Jagow's suggestion anent the re-
striction of distilled liquors included the provision
that none should be sold after seven o'clock at
night and that only liquor Of comparatively high
grade and cost might be dispensed.
The disters and liquor dealers breathed easier
when they heard that the authorities did not favor
anything so drastic but all their hopes vanished
when the authorities finally did make public their
new regulations 1t is asserted on every side that
many cafes that do not specialize in beer-the So
called wine rooms"-will have to close at
nine instead of at eleven or one o'clock, and that
many Of them will have to go out OF business.
These cafe proprietors allege that they cannot
understand the new order nor the reasons for it.
For months now it has been forbidden to serve
soldiers or sailors with distilled liquors. and they
say that therefore there is military need for the
rules. They maintain that there is great sufhci-
ency OF liquor for army medicinal and hospital
needs, now hand, so that there is necessity
for extra measures to conserve the supply in this
drastic way. Also they assert with the utmost
positveness that Berlin suffers not at all from
any undue indulgence in liquor which would re-
quire correction through restriction OF the supply

she got out beyond her depth and sank.
Two boys, Allen White and Harley

came near losing their lives them

on the part of Miss Wight, Allen
White would have gone down with her
