GERMAN WAR POLICY
FLAYED IN REICHSTAG
Socialist Bares Alleged Effort at
Separate Peace with Gar

The Hague. Oct. 29.-Eduard Bern
stein, Socialist, delivered speech IN
the Reichstag last Friday, after Count
Won Roedern, Secretary Of the I'm
perial Treasury, had submitted to the
Chamber the new war credit bill for
100000 marks.
Herr Bernstein said. according to
the "Vorwaerts." that he knew OF
numerous instances of severe pressure
being exerted in many quarters with
the Object of obtaining money for the
war loan. The speaker said the prln-
cipal big subscribers were public in
stitutions, whose financial stability was
most seriously endangered.
The "Vorwaerts" says the speaker
then attacked the governments at
tempts TO secure a separate peace with
Russia, declaring that such attempts
were both dishonorable and fruitless.
Germany" Herr Bernstein Is
quoted as having said, should declare
her readiness for an armistlce as
preliminary to general European
congress which would arrange peace
based on the democratic rights of all
nations"
Herr Bernstein declared that the
great masses of all nations have no
clashing of interests and that it is
only the comparatively small minority
which have inflated differences. To eX-
rect that the bombing of open towns
would compel nations to make peace
was complete misconception of the
nations psychology.

WHITE HOUSE TULIPS
PAWN OF CAMPAIGN
Mrs. Wilson Plants, but Mrs.
Hughes May Enjoy Them

Washington, Oct. 20. - Democratic
tourists who watched gardeners place
plump tulip bulbs in the White House
garden yesterday declared it showed q
prodigious amount Of faith and hope in
Mrs. Wilson's heart in her husbands
reelection, while Republicans passing
that way said they considered Mrs.
Wilson very generous person to start
to beautify the gardens for the benefit
Of Mrs. Hughes.
Whether Mrs. Wilson is having the
bulbs set in the garden for herself or
for Mrs. Hughes is a question which
will be answered by the November
election. The bulbs are for spring
blossoming, and unless 1917 presents
an unusually early spring the beautiful
Holland tulips will not put forth their
blossoms until after the inauguration
on March 4.
At any rate, the tulip bulbs are there
by the thousnds. and as q sun-browned
farmer put it yesterday:
"Mrs. Wilson will enjoy them II she
is there and Mrs. Hughes can pull them
up if she does not like them"

made public last night a denial by
Henry C. Breckenridge. former Assist
ant Secretary of War, of Senator Henry
Cabot Lodges cha -ye that President
Wilson has added an appendix to the
"strict accountability" note, saying
that its contents were not to be taken
seriously, and that he suppressed 1t

Mr.. Breckinridge's telegram is from
San Mateo, Cal, and is as follows:
"Any one who quoted me to Senator
Lodge as represented in your telegram
as quoted is a scoundrel. No member
of President wilson's Cabinet ever
threatened him on any subject. The
malice that would seek for partisac
advantage to emasculate the potency or
ones government in vital interna-
tional affair by the mongering OF back
stairs gossip is beneath contempt"
Another member of the Cabinet, ID.
F. Houston, Secretay of Agriculture,
sent a similar telegram to Democratic

London, Oct. 29.-Captain Boelke.
Germany's greatest air fighter, has met
at last that same fate which he had
dealt to the aviators of forty Allied
aeroplanes. According to a Berlin dis
patch received by Reuters Telegram
Company by way Of Amsterdam. he
was killed during an engagement on
Saturday. His machine was rammed
by another aircraft and fell, bearing its
flyer to death behind the German lines.
He had scored his fortieth victory
over an enemy plane only the day be-
fore. He was only twenty-five years
old.
Since the beginning Of air raids upon
the Western front Captain Boelke had
been the most skilful and most dan
gerous of the Kaiser's flying fighters.
In his swift Fokker plane, which he
guided and fought single-handed, he
had taken heavy toll Of the enemy
air fleets.
A hero in his own land. he enjoyed
scarcely less favorable reputation
among the men of the Allied air corps.
French Admired His Daring
The French admired him for his
dash and daring, the British for his
pluck and fair play. No matter how
bitter the fight OF how heavy the odds,
Boelke never turned the tail Of his
monoplane to the foe.
He was wounded several times. and
had at least five machines so badly
damaged beneath him that he was
