To TALK PEACE?
Indications Point to Conference
of Nations at Berne.
Won Buelow Closely Watched
at Swiss Capital.
BY CAMILLE C1ANFARRA.

Rome, Nov. 5.-Although the CEN
sorship forbids any allusion to peace
associations on the part of Italy, the
Naples MattinO confirms my message
OF Sunday saying that a prominent
English parsonage arrived in Berne
simultane oIIsly with Prince Won Bue-
lows arrival there.
The Mattino adds that a large Berne
hotel has received orders to prepare
for the reception of a number of for
e1gn personages. 1t further states that
an Itali2n parsonage is now il. Switzer-
land to represent Italy
No confirmation of this rerort is
obtalnable here.
The Italian parsonage" referred to
IN the above dispatch which evidently
was carefully worded to pass the CEN
scr, is presumably ex-Premier Giolitti
The Nacnrichten of zurich stated on
tuesday that Prince Won Buelow
would meet certain political person
ages in Switzerland including Clio
litti.
Mr. Cianfarra's dispatch above re-
fers to a message sent by him last Sun
day. The message was never received
mere. If sent, it was presumably
stopped by the censor.
Won BueIow Gives Denial
Paris, Nov. 5.-If Prince Won Bue-
low attempts to cross the Atlantic with
his peace proposals before President
Wilson, the allied warships will arrest
MIN, says tOday'S newspapers.
Every effort will also be made to
prevent the kaiser's alleged peace
emissary from crossing Italy on his
way to Madrid.
Further denials were made of the
rumorS which continue to crop up on
all sides to the effect that Won Buelow
is charged with a mission of peace. A
dispatch from Lucerne quotes the Ger
man prince as denying that he was in
Switzerland on a peace mission, or
that he was going to Washington to
see President Wilson or to Madrid to
see King Alfonso in rela ten to terms
on which Germany might be willing to
discuss peace
The war must be fought out" Won
BueloW told his interviewer. Ger
many is united and possesses every re-
source in material and above all in
unity and resolve to continue the war
to its conclusion by arms"
The newspaper correspondents in
Lucerne who have been Watching the
prince during his stay there are con-
WINGED he has conferred with no dis
tlnSuished strangers, such as former
Premier Giolitti of Italy or Monsignor
Marchetti, the papal delegate to Switz-
erland, 10th of whom have been re-
ported tc have conferred with him.
Trade i'm London Jumps.
London, Nov. Good buying of
investment and speculative stocks has
become an impressive feature of the
London market. The demand comes
from Holland, Scandinavia and Amer
lea, and also from we'll informed
local houses.
This financial optimism is attrib-
uted to evidences of Germany's eco
peace talk emanating from German
source.

MONTH OF BLUE SKIES
october Period of Sunshine, Warmth
and Little Rain.

Following is a summary OF the
weather and crop conditions in kansas
for the month of October issued py the
local section center of the weather
bureau:
october. 1915, was mild. and dry and
one of the most sunshiny and pleasant
months on record in Kansas, as SHOWN
bv the reports of 120 stations OF the
weather bureau, which cover almost
every county in the state. The last
ten days were especially fine with
practically no rainfall, temperatures
above normal continually, and almost
uninterrupted sunshine. In a large
measure this month compensated for
the wet, cloudy weather which had
prevailed for several months pre-
viously.
The mean temperature for the state
was SO degrees, which is degrees
above normal and makes it the sixth
warmest October on record. The hlgh-
est temperature recorded was "a de-
grees on the 10th at Dresden and
Oberlin and the lowest 10 degrees at
Brakeman on the 8th-
The average precipitation for the
eastern third of the state was I-Sf
inches; the middle third, 1.S9 inches;
the western third, 1.34 inches, and for
the entire state, 1.55 inches. which is
.O.47 inch below normal This makes
it the seventh driest October on rec
ord and is the least precipitation re-
corded during any month since last
January.
Nearly all the rain fell from the
18th to the 18th. 1t was fairly we'll
distributed over the state and only a
few countries received less than an
inch The greatest amount reported
was 36S inches at st. Francis in the
extreme northwest norner of the state.
At Leavenworth and Vinland there
was no rain at all.
Taking the state as a whole, % days
were clear, four partly cloudy and
four cloudy. Only one month on the
state record, which covers 20 years,
has had more clear days.
The first killing frost of the season
occurred in the extreme western
counties on the 5th and generally in
the eastern half of the state on the
9Th. There were quite a number OF
counties in the central-southern por-
ton where there was no frost severe
enough to be classed as killing.
Crop Conditions.
Very little corn was damaged by the
frost, which in the eastern counties
was from one to two weeks earlier
than usual, but in the western part
of the state the sorghums were not
matured and in most cases can be used
only for forage.
The last half of the month was
favorable for sowing wheat, which
was almost completed with the soil in
fine condition. At the close from rs
to SO per cent of the wheat in the
western half was still unthrashed.

heading, Greece Facing a Decision"
says:
"And so the personal ambition of
Venizelos has succeeded in the last
hour in endangering the continuity of

decision. Only two ways are open to

Guns to Speak Palmer.
Before that time our weapons and
those of our allies will speak even
heretofore. Our victories will be the
best means of influencing the Greek
parliamentary elections in the closest
interests of Greece herself"
The Lokal Anzeiger says it was
known that Venizelos had a majority
and that it was to be expected he
would take first opportunity to unseat
the cabinet. The question is whether
it will avail him anything. 1t con-
tinues:
king Constantine had proved him
self in the great difficulties in the last
month to be calm and decided poll

guard the interests of Greece in the

Athens, Nov .5.-One of the state

the chamber yesterday was that Great
Britain offered to cede the Island of
Cyprus to Greece independent of the
result of the war, while promises of
concessions were conditional on the
success of the allies. Greece, he said
was to acquire part of the vilIayet of
Brusa and Bulgarian Thrace, while
Bulgaria was to be shorn of the terri
tory she gained as a result of the Bal
kan war.
tanned by Greece at small cost. since
the proposals of the entente powers
required only the assistance of smaller
units of the Greek fleet.
Referring to the allegation that Ser
bIa had failed to send against the Bull
gar1ans $50 600 men, in accordance
with the provisions of the treaty of
the alliance, NJ. Venizelos said she &C
tually had 10000 troops opposed to
the Bulgarians.

London, Nov. 5.-The all night
meeting of the Greek chamber, the
new attack of former Premier Venice

ABOARD LUSITANIA
Another of the Holt Glass
Sends Letter to News
paper.

CHICAGO. July 2O.-Fedcral Off
GERS and the Chicago police today
began an investigation as a result of
a letter received by the Daily News
from man who signed himself
u. S. X, and asserted that he had
placed explosives aboard the Lusi
tania before the steamer started on
her fatal trip from New York.
The writer Of the letter said he was
n member of gang" but was dis
Eusted, and did not want to incite
America any longer. He had worked
on plan Of stopping the expectation
of ammunition to England, and would
be dead in Lake Michigan before the
letter was delivered, he wrote.
The writer said he was an English
miner, as were the other members of
the gang" He referred to 'Hoit's
bomb" and said his was more
deadly"
II. G. ClabauEh, chief of the federal
bureau of investigation, said it was
possible the letter was the work of a
demented man, but was worth looking
into as it had been reported there
were two explosions on the Lusitania,
only one coming from German tor
Tcdo.
