LONDON PAPERS SHY
AT PEACE PROPOSALS

London, Sept. 6.-The London press
almost without exception indorsed the
attitude of the government that there
must be no peace with Germany until
the menace of "Prussian militarism"
is removed
The German intimation as to possi
BILE peace terms elected lengthy edi-
torial comments from the morning pa
pers. They were unanimous in
scouting the idea OF an early peace
and treated with greatest scorn the
German statement that freedom of
the seas, freedom for Poles and equal
rights for the Jews were subjects upon
which peace discussions must turn.
This statement from the German
embassy is comic In its disingenuous
futility," said the Daily Express. Be
fore the war the seas we're free for
all the shipping of the world and this
new Teutonic demand for freedom
merely means that Great Britain Is to
surrender the power that comes from
its predominant navy and to rob IL
self of It's principal weapon both of
offense and defense"

Baron Won Forstner Gained Notoriety
In Alsace.

Berlin, Sept. 6.-Lieutenant Baron
Won Forstner. who gained notoriety as
a result of the Zabern incident. has
been killed in action.
Lieutenant Won Forstner was report
ed to have been killed near Louvain

firmation was licking.

Zabern, Alsace. where the Ninety
ninth German infantry. under Colonel
Won Reuter-, was stationed In 1918.
The citizens of the town had difficult
ties with the soldiers and showed
strong anti-German feelings.
Lieutenant Won Forstner provoked
several clashes between his men and
the inhabitants and told tie soldiers
to bayonet any one insulting the Ger
man flag. He himself sabered lame
shoemaker.
For this exploit he was tried and
sentenced to forty-three days impris-
onment, although strongly upheld by
Colonel Won Reuter-, his commander.

BULGARIA VERY CAUTIOUS
viii Not Make War Where Outcome
Is Doubtful.

Sufia, Bulgaria. Sept. 6.-Despite
the fact that a decision of the Bul.
garian government regarding the
Macedonian question is generally
considered imminent there are no
signs of excitement here.
At the foreign office the following
statement was made
"The Bulgarian government is not
inclined to embark on an adventurous
career. Now, as heretofore, the Bull
garian government is guided by three
factors:
First, nonacceptance of the treaty
of Bucharest, which was not ratified
by the national assembly, and which
Is not acceptable to Bulgaria so long
as IL remsins unrevised
Secondly, the unwillingness of the
Bulgarian people to engage In a war
the outcome of which is at all doubt
full.
Thirdly, the absolute necessity OF
convincing the Bulgarian people that
whatever action is undertaken for a
result to be achieved will be such that
no betrayal afterward will be posi-
ble."
Bulgaria, II is learned, wants all OF
Macedonia and not only those parts
made the subj It of recent notes by
the quadruple entente.

MORMON WOMAN SAYS
POLYGAMY Is COMING

San Francisco, Sept 6.-Polygamy
as a means of repopulating Europe
after the war is being seriously ad-
vanced by Miss Emma Lucy Gates,
granddaughter of Brigham Young, pio.
neer Mormon leader.
Coming from Europe since the out
break of hostilities Miss Gates pre-
diets that the women of the war
drained nations are ready to accept
polygamous marriage She bases her
belief on twelve years association
with European women in various old
world capitals.
Miss Gates, who for many years
sang with the Royal Opera at the kai-
ser's theater in Berlin, was recently
here as a soloist with the Mormon
tabernacle choir. She spoke of her
faith in polygamy.
Il have" she said. known many
families in Utah where there were sew
eral wives and | have known many
unmarried girls in Europe-where
matrimony is the only career-and
am convinced the woman who is one
of many wives is happier than the
permanent spinster
MANY girls in the old world have
told me that they would much prefer
being a plural mate of a man who
could give them a pleasant home,
where they could live a useful life, to
being an old maid"
