PEACE MOVE DUE
TO D|SSENS|0N?
Internal Conditions Cause for
Proposals, is Claim of
Lord NorthcIiffe.
BY LORD NoRTHCLIFFE,

Copyright 1915 by L. p. and in
America and Great Brittany
London, Dec. 14-Germany's peace
proposals are due to the fact which
lnterned neutral correspondents in
Berlin, have not been allowed to in
dicate that during the last few weeks
grave internal dissension has arisen,
owing to the food shortage and the
reign of terror, moreover relations
have been greatly strained between
the various Germans and Austrians
and also with Turkey.
The Prussian government also has
learned that the British empire will
during 1917 put forth an effort equal
at least to that of Germany in 1914,
and from the point of view of guns
and shells three times that of Ger
many at any period of the war. The
proposals have been received here
American senses of humor and justice
have seen through this bluff.
France, Russia, Italy and Little
Belgium are as firm as Plymouth
Rock.
Sentiment increased today in favor
of including in England's answer to
the German peace note a clear and
explicit definition of the Allies basic
terms. 1t is certain the answer win
De reJectlon or the proposal at TINS
time, but it is felt in many quarters
that the Allies should meet the Ger
man diplomatic strategy in sending
the note by a counter move which
would put the Allies as the first of
the two sides to make known definite
demands and concessions.
Bonar Law today made partia
answer to the German peace propose
by quoting the statement made by for
mer Premier Asquith when the las
vote of credits was asked of the HOUSE
of Commons.
There must be adequate reparatior
for the past and adequate security fol
the future" he said, quoting Asquith

Dispatch Official Text of leu

Special bU United Press Wire


Washington, Dec. 14-Amerlca's
hrst step toward carrying out the
wishes OF Germany and the Central
powers as their diplomatic represen-
tauVe in the entente capitals, was
taken today.
Within few hours after receipt of
the official text of the Tepton peace
proposals, which was almost Identical
with the text carried in press dis
patches, Secretary Lansing, at the
Presidents order dispatched IL 10
London, Paris, Petrograd, Toxic and
TO the Provisional capitals of Serbia,
Belgium and Roumania.
Ine German communication to her
enemies was sent without any sugges-
ton or comment by the President.
This action completely fulf1lls the re-
quest the Central empires made of the
United states, Secretary Grew of the
Berlin embassy, transmitted with the
German note a confidential memo-
randum for the President and secre-
tary OF state. to be used as guardians
Tor them in dealing with the peace
subject.
The state department said officially
that the Allies would understand that
TINS government is not to transmit any
answers to Germany without the nee
essity Of making any definite offer to
do so. The United Press learned to-
day that President Wilson's greatest
problem in regard to the German note
is to indicate beyond question Amer
ica's desire not "intermeddle" while at
the same time to perform the humans
tarium act of eliciting from both sides
official data as to the preliminary
terms upon which each regards peace
as possible.
Will Offer Services
Should Premier Lloyd George next
Tuesday express TO parliament and
the world a willingness to at least
discuss German peace proposals,
President Wilson will offer his serv-
ices in the situation, his closest adj
visers said today.
| On the contrary if the new British
premier continues his policy of fight
ing TO knockout" the President
probably will keep aloof or limit his
expression to hope that the present
opening may develop into serious
consideration of peace soon. But to-
day the President kept his silence
and awaited word as to the Allies at
| titude.
/, If the President should decide to
| make suggested pronouneement to
/ the world of Americas creed as to
| peace, it would include these two main
| ideas. Americas interest is xou2y III
peace and its future guarantee" 0B-
viously it was explained settlement o.
debatable points, such as indemnities,
etc, would be regarded as a question
which belligerents themselves would
have sole right to pass upon.)

HOW TO PREPARE, PLANT AND
CULTIVATE IRISH POTATOES

Fall potatoes: One of the most prof.
liable crops, and one of the most use
full that can be possibly be planted on
our Southern farms, is the fall crop
of Irish Potatoes.
Many people who have tried plant
ing this crop continue to do so, and
the interest is increasing. This crop il
different from the spring crop, will
keep almost indefinitely as they can be
housed in barrels; in an ordinary cell
lar, barn or any other dry cool place,
and are convenient for use throughout
the entire winter, and will keep per-
fectly until June and July, when they
are ready for seed that perfect stand
can be secured from. Therefore, this,
the Lookout Mountain Potato has been
grown year after year strictly for fall
planting, and the seed harvested in
October and November are best for
fall planting.
A perfect stand can be secured from
this seed as they are sprouted by June,
ready to terminate Immediately after
being painted in the ground. They
Will not make in the spring, as their
habits have been completely changed
owing to the continued fall planting
for more than 22O years.
The Lookout Mountain Potato is
sound and firm, there never being any
black hearts among them; also free
froIl scab. They are the best to keep.
heaVy y1elders, are mealy and the
very best Of table potatoes.
One of the principal reasons why
people should plant this potato ex-
tensively is because they can be Gull
tivated at time when labor is usually
plentiful, and not much else to do on
the farm. Furthermore, their keeping
quality Is another reason why you
should plant them and you are never
bothered with the dreaded bugs with
this crop, as they do not propagate
during the cool nights of September
and October.
If the following instructions are
carried out you can easily produce
from 100 to 200 bushels per acre on
good land. The proper way to plant
and cultivate them, for instance; after
grain crops have been harvested the
stubble land is ideal for growing these
potatoes. The ground should be first
roughly broken with to 4-inch
scooter. narrowed thoroughly with q
disk harrow. and few days after this
ground should be turned deep with q
two-horse pillow; narrowed thoroughly
and either rolled or dragged. Every
5 and days a weeder or peg-toothed
harrow should be run over the ground
to keep it open and moisture circulat-
ing in the seed and. Any time after
the 5th of July to the goth Of August
for middle and south Georgia is the
proper time to plant as it requires
about 80 days for them to mature.
W. ]. Josey has a limited amount of
these potatoes on hand, put In your
order to be In time. adv.
