PEACE PROSPECTS PLEASING
Wilson's Speech Given Prominence
In German Papers.

Berlin, May ga wireless dis.
patch from the United States giving
the substance of President Wilson's
speech in Charlotte, n. c., in which
he referred TO the possibility of Amer.
ican mediation in the war, is given
the place of honor in the morning pa
pers.
Though definitely stated nowhere
there Is little doubt Germany Is will
ing to consider tender of good offices
to inaugurate peace negotiations.
The former attitude in the highest
quarters that America had disquali-
fed herself as peace mediator on ac-
count of her shipments of munitions to
the allies has now changed.
If President Wilson can hold out any
tangible possibilities that peace may
result through his mediation Germany
undoubtedly will be willing to consider
such suggestions as he may offer.

AGED Slayer is
KILLED BY POSSE

lola, Kan. May 26.-George Becker.
eighty-eight years old, was shot and
mortally wounded by a posse of neigh
bors who pursued him from his farm
where he had killed his daughter,
Lena, mortally wounded a neighbor
and burned his farm buildings.
Before Becker was shot he wounded
slightly one of the posse.
An application for the appointment
Of a guardian for Becker's property
holdings is believed to have caused
the trouble.
When the aged man learned of the
action taken in court by relatives, ii
is said. he became enraged at his
daughter and killed her. A neighbor
named Miles, who attempted to inter
fere. was probably fatally wounded.
Becker then fed across the prairie
after setting fire to almost everything
inflammable on his farm.
Neighbors were attracted by the
blaze and started In pursuit of the
old man. As he was about TO be over
taken Becker opened fire on his pur
suers. wounding one of them before

BREAD LINES GROW DAILY
Great DestItuton In Belgium and
Northern France.

New York. May 26.-Destitute peo-
pie in belgium and Northern France
are living on one-third the amount Of
food necessary to maintain human
life and more supplies are needed at
once, says Casper Whitney. big game
hunter and editor. who has been in
charge of the work Of the commission
for relief in Belgium and the north
ern part of France since April, 1915.
Mr. Whitney has just returned from
Europe.
The bread lines in the enemy occu-
pied countries are increasing daily
he says, and the peoples power of re.
sistance is daily growing weaker. The
relief commission had been compelled
to increase its volunteer army to 40,-
900 workers.
The upper middle class is suffering
most because Of the high food prices
and because the commission does not
furnish food for It.

DOUBT BUELOW Is COMING
Washington Officials Are Without Any
information.

Washington, May 26. r. The report
that Prince Won Buelow, former Ger
man chancellor Is coming to Wash
ington on q special mission is not
credited in official circles here. No
intimation that such a visit is in pros
pect has been received officially or
unofTicially by the state department.
The German embassy is skeptical
about the report
Some officials regard It as possible
that Prince Won Buelow might be sent
to the United States later on, provid-
cd there is prospect OF discussing
preliminary moves for peace, but so
far the United States government has
held aioof from taking any definite
initiative In attempting to bring about
an end of the European war.

PRESIDENT HAS
NO Place PLANS
Discusses the Subject With
White House Callers.
MUST HELP ALL NATIONS

Chief Executive Says Intervention Of
a Neutral Can Come Only if Bel!ig-
erents Reach Mutual Understanding
for World Peace.
Washington, May 28-President
Wilson told callers that the interven-
tion Of neutral in behalf OF peace
in Europe could rest only on a mutual
understanding by the belligere@ts that
terms to be arranged are to conserve
the interests Of all, and of the world
at large, rather than those of par
ticular nation or group of nations
among the warning powers.
Mr.. Wilson did not disclose any
definite plan Of action he may have
formulated in regard to peace, nor au-
thorized a formal statement of his at
titude
His callers gained an impression,
however, the president would enter
tain suggestions that he extend his
good Offices to the belligerents to
bring about peace only when the con
ditions he outlined were likely of full
fillment.
Those who discussed the general
subject Of peace with Mr.. Wilson con
strued his remarks as probably fore
casting to some extent what he will
say here later in the week addressing
the League to Enforce Peace
The impression has obtained in Off
cial circles that his remarks at that
time would have an important bearing
on the peace discussions recently in
Berlin and London, as we'll as In the
American press.
Mr. Wilson pointed out to his call
era that there are many elements II
the situation In Europe, all OF whicf
must be taken into account In con
sideration OF peace proposals.
While he Is eager TO see the con
flict ended as soon as possible Whit
House visitors were able to gather n'
impression that a move by the United
States to bring 1t about Is In immedi
ate prospect, at least
