81 The Hague, Sept. 17--(by maiD -
The Dutch government only two
-months ago sounded the European
ebelligerents on the prospects of peace.
.rthe United Press was informed today.
Every belligerent except France ex-
pressed a willingness to enter an in
Formal discussion.
Frances reply was such a fiery re-
fusal that one person who learned its
tcontents described it as almost
snltimatum."
"a Rome dispatch yesterday carried
Ethe first intimation that Holland had
been putting out peace feelers. This
-dispatch stated that the allies had in
Formed Holland that peace overtures
mt this time would be construed as
pro-German move.)
81 Dutch officials not only have not
Resumed their attempt at peace neso-
fiations but they are now convinced
That the end of the war is a long way
off.
Copenhagen Bitter Anu-German.
The one positive indication that
peace is impossible at present is the
wide difference of opinion between
each of the opposing sides regarding
the situation.
During the past few days 1 have
been in Copenhagen, Berlin, The
Hague and Rotterdam. The first i'm
preston obtained by a traveller is the
wide chasm between the contending
parties.
Copenhagen, which is tremendously
anti-German, believes that Germany
is about to fall to pieces. There are
reports of unrest, starvation, depres-
sion and lack of soldiers in Germany.
The people of Copenhagen and also
residents of The Hague believe the al
lied offensive on the Somme, in Rus
STA and Galicia and Hungary is hav-
ing great success. They can't under
stand why the much talked of "revo-
luton in Germany doesn't begin. No
zone pays any attention to the German
victories in Rumania.
IN Berlin, there is some depression,
some pessimism but the faith in the
ability of the army to hold out has
not been shaken. Every one in Ger
many keeps maps of the battle fronts
ing closely The people have amaz-
ing faith in Won Hindenburg. Inter-
est centers in Mackensen's offensive
in Rumania.
Allies 'LOsing 5000 Men a Day."
The Berlin newspapers emphasize
the shortage of British tonnage. They
declare food prices have advanced as
much in England as in Berlin. France,
BerlinerS believe, has exhausted her
reserves and her army is weakening
daily more than any other army. The
. streets of Berlin, Frankfort, Bremen
and all large German cities are full
of soldiers all the time, refuting the
oft-repeated statement that Germany
has exhausted her reserves
THE allies are losing five thousand
men a day on the western front" was
the way one German put it. "I sup
pose our losses are great, too. but we
can keep it up as long as they can
We will hold out until the allies get
enough of it,"

FINISH RECRUITING
War Secretary Dissatisfied With Ma
tional Guard Enlisting.

Washington, Oct 7.-Dissatisfied
men, Secretary of War Baker today
authorized commanding generals of
the army departments to discontinue
recruiting service at their discretion
The decision was based on a recon-
mendation by the general staff Re-
cruiting has been disappointing
Great difficulty has been met in try
ing to fill up the national guards reg
iments at the border or ready to leave
for the border. The department had
built an expensive system of recruiting
with regular army officers and militia
officers cooperating.
The stations. it was admitted. have
not met expectations.

GET EXPRESS ROBBERS
Emmett Agent Captures Two Men
Alone and Without Gun.

Emmett. Kan. Oct. 1.-Two men
who attempted to rob the local office
of the American Express company
early this morning were captured by
the agent for the company who held
them up without gun and kept them
until the officers arrived. They were
given a hearing at noon today and
bound over to the district court
Local Agent Nacka, who lives up
stairs over the express office, heard
the men when they attempted to enter
thru window from which the screen
had been torn. Nacka went down and
commanded them to hold up their
hands. The men complied, tho the
agent had no gun. They were taken
to jail later by the officers.
