The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1916-12-22

Berlin-Chancello Won Bethmann-
Hollweg announced to the Reichstag
that Germany and her allies proposed
TO enter forthwith into peace negotia'
tions.
The propositions which they will
bring forward are. according to the
Chancellor, appropriate for the estab-
lshment of a lasting peace.
These proposals have been handed
to the American Spanish and Swiss
representatives here for transmission
to the Entente powers.
The Austrian, Turkish and Bulgari-
an Governments are making similar
proposals. These proposals have been
transmitted also to the Vatican.
Following is the tetx of the note
addressed by Germany and her allies
to the hostile Governments:
The most terrific war ever expert
enced in history has been raging for
the last two years and a half over
a large part OF the world-a catas'
trophe which thousands of years OF
common civilization was unable TO
prevent and which Injuries the most
precious achievements OF humanity.
Our aims are not to shatter nor
annihilate our adversaries. In spite of
our consciousness Of our military and
economic strength and our readiness
10 continue the war (Which has been
forced upon us) until the bitter end,
If necessary, at the same time prompt
ed by the desire to avoid further
bloodshed and make an end to the
atrocities of war. the four allied pow
ers propose to enter forthwith into
peace negotiations.
The propositions which they bring
forward for such negotiations and
which have for their object a guaran-
tee OF the existence, OF the honor and
liberty OF evolution for their nations
are, according to their firm belief, an
appropriate basis for the establish
ment of lasting peace.
The four allied powers have been
obliged TO take up arms to defend
Justice and the liberty Of national evo.
luton The glorious deeds Of our ar
mics have in no way altered their pur-
pose. We always maintained the firm
belief that our own rights and justi-
fed claims in no way control the
rights OF these nations.
The spiritual and material progress
which were the pride of Europe at
the beginning of the twentieth cen
tury are threatened with ruin. Ger
many and her allies, Austria-Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey. gave proof OF
their unconquerable strength in this
struggle. They gained gigantic ad-
vantages over adversaries superior in
number and war material.
The last attack in he Balkans has
been rapidly and victoriously over
come. The most recent events have
demonstrated that further continuance
OF the war will not result in breaking
the resistance Of our forces, and the
whole situation with regard TO our
troops justifies our expecte ion Of fur
ther successes.

Prosecutor and Asks for
Figures Collected
CAUSES OF HIGH PRICES
Approved the Plan Of Extensive Grand
Jury Investigations Into Reasons =
for High Cost Of Living as
Prese nted to n in - sIkaa 4

Washington General approval OF
the investigation being conducted by
the Department OF Justice into the in
creased cost of living was given by
President Wilson at conference with
District Attorney Anderson OF Boston,
in charge or the inquiry. The Presi.
dent will continue the examination OF
facts collected by various depart
ments before deciding whether any
remedial legislation shall be recon-
mended 20 Congress.
1t was said by officials connected
with the investigation that their chief
hope for the ultimate lowering Of the
!cpst OF living lies in simplifying the
means OF transportation OF foodstuffs,
the practice Of economy by the public,
increase in production by farmers and
through other such methods rather
than by prosecutions in the courts.
Indications are. however. that the
program for Immediate action already
outlined. will be followed with little
mod ilration This includes general
investigation OF the activities OF al
legged coal and food spectators and a
closer inquiry into the relation be
tween the high cost OF living and the
shortage OF freight cars.
Department Of Justice officials let II
be known that their work would be
continued with greater degree Of Sc
crecy than heretofore, and that no dis
closures concerning the activities OF
any group Of men under surveillance
would be forthcoming until after sub
mission TO Grand Jury.
In the meantime, it was suggested
that the public could cooperate In low.
ering prices of specific foodstuffs by
purchasing as little as possible and
by buying substitutes.
Chicago. Three separate investga
tions into the cost OF foodstuffs are
under way here. The executive com
mittee of the National Retail Grocers
Association met. and one of the chief
purposes OF the meeting, according to
Frank b. Connolly, of San Francisco

cleared it only few inches, just as

miles an hour, but was quickly stop
ped and the dying boy was picked up

UNDER-sEA COMMERCE. STORY.
German transatlantic Under.Sea
Craft Reported In South Atlantic.
News and Courier, 1stD


Is the German submarine, expected
in New York harbor several days ago,
off Charleston?
Information reached the News and
Courier yesterday that the boat was
In the South Atlantic, and it was
strongly intimated that the under-sea
craft would cnter this port.
The craft Lett Bremen, June 18th
with letter to President Wilson and
cargo of dyestuffs and medicines.
The owners estimated that about IA
days would be necessary for the voy-
age across the Atlantic.
This submarine Is built as a mer-
chairman and is not beloved to be
armed in any way. Under the inter-
national rules it is entitled to the
same protection as vessel of any
other nation while in American wa
ters.
Small Cargo of High Value.
The capacity Of the under-sea mer-
chantman is reported to be 500 tons.
Dividing 1t are many compartments,
which are necessarily small. Its
cargo must be loaded in small pack
ages. Only articles Of high value can
be transported with profit.
Though an under-sea craft, the YES
sci steams ahead just as we'll, per-
haps little better, when floating, as
n lC do s, -
periscope, through which observa-
ton. while submerged, can be readily
made.
Port authorities Of Boston, New
York and Philadelphia have been ex-
pecting this innovation In merchant
men for several days. 1t was stated
that the boat left Cuxhaven June 9th
for Bremen, to take on cargo and pre-
pare for the transatlantic voyage.
Details of the construction of this
strange craft are not available on
this side of the Atlantic.
To Dodge Allied Warships.
1t is believed that it has come into
the South Atlantic waters In order
to avoid warships Of the allies that
are patrolling North Atlantic ports.
Since the news came out of Ger
many that the submarine was bound
for this country the New York and
Boston newspapers have been filled
with articles speculating on the ves-
sci and the results of it's experiments.
1t Is stated on good authority that
American capital Is interested in the
venture. 1t Is planned. while the
war continues, to handle small car
goes Of high value between Germany
and the United States.
1t is reported that after discharg-
ing the dyestuffs and medicines the
under-sea merchantmen will take on
rubber and nickel. two articles that
are sorely needed in the Teutonic
Empire.

TWELVE THOUSAND TEDDYs
Ready to Follow "Old Grizzly" Into
Heart of Mexico.

New York, June 29.-lt was
learned yesterday that Col. Roose-
welt is going to ask the government
for permission to raise a division of
volunteer soldiers for service in
Mexico the minute the war is declar-
ed and call for volunteers sent out.
According to this information,
which came from reliable source
and confirms rumors that have been
in circulation for several days, the
colonel has completed his plans for
raising the division and waits only
upon the calling of volunteers to
make his offer to Washington. He
will ask for commission as major
general.
Col. Roosevelt has made his plans
after consultation with high military
authorities, and they call for spe-
cial division Of $4,000 men, consist
ing of four brigades-one of infantry,
two Of cavalry, one of field artillery,
supplemented by aeroplanes, and in
Guiding engineers, signal corps and
hospital corps.
Work OH Plan for Months.
For months the colonel has had
these plans In his head. for weeks he
has been working them out to the
smallest details against just such an
emergency as is expected now across
the border, and for ten days quiet re-
cruiting has been going on in all
parts Of the country by men to whom
the ex-President has entrusted this
task.
Such Of the details as the provid-
ing of horses have been looked after
already, and declaration Of war
with Mexico and call for volunteers
will be the signal for an office to be
opened in or around this city for re-
cruiting and clerical work and for di-
vision headquarters to be established,
probably In Texas, where the troops
would be assembled.
All of the colonel's plans are de-
pendent more or less upon President
Wilson. His request for a commits
sion as major general commanding a
| volunteer division can be granted or
refused in Washington, but his
| friends say that President Wilson
would not oppose it. 1t was pointed
out that the colonel as an officer in
the army would be unable to criticise
the administration.
| Col Roosevelt's friends are in a
Quandary as to the exact status Of
such a request, as to whether or not
the granting OF it depends upon tho
| President or upon Congress, and as
to the colonel's age, 81. being bar
rier to his re-entrance into the army
at the head Of body of volunteers
1t has been known for long time
that Col. Roosevelt was anxious to
get into the fray. 1t was known
weeks ago, when he made the declar-
I alton that if war came he and his
take the field. When he was stricken
with slight attack Of pleurisy less
than fortnight ago he Immediately
summoned the best medical counsel
| he could obtain and retired to Saga
| more Hill for rest cure, his chief
purpose in mind being to get In shape
to lead troops into Mexico if war
| comes.

to have had little influence on the
battle around Verdun. The Germans
are still showing undiminished yigor
in the Meuse region, and the French
are as steadily resisting.
To Germans Fourth Time.
PaSis, July 4.--The Thiaumont
work, around which some of the
bloodiest fighting of Ihe war has
taken place, has been captured by
the Germans for the four II time, ac-
cording to the official statement is
sued by the French war Office to-
night.
The French have advanced south
and east Of the Assevillers, where
they have captured a wood and the
villages Of BarleauX and Belloy-en-
Santerre. They also have taken the
greater part of the village of Estrees,
where 500 prisoners fell into their
hands.
The Unrestricted Submarine /?
Copenhagen, July 4.-Referring to
the announced abandonment by
Great Britain Of the Declaration Of
London, Capt. /. Persius, naval ex-
pert Of the Berliner Tageblatt, de-
clares in that newspaper that the
German government purposes again
to begin "a new and unrestricted
submarine war" in order to force
Great Britain to follow the rules Of
international law.
Capt. Persius states that Germany
has now such large number Of sub
marines that they will be able to
harm British trade considerably and
prevent munitions reaching France.
He proposes that Germany should
ask the American government cer-
tain questions as to the attitude 1t
intends to adopt.
