DISCUSSING PEACE
Germany Looking to President VIII
son to Take Definite Step

Berlin, May J-DlfecI WOru lfOlll
Washington that President. Wilson
will accept Germany's submarine con-
cessions has caused the greatest salts
faction here. The public now believes
the issue definitely closed.
The newspapers are now discuss
ing the possibility that President vii.
son may prove acceptable to Ger
many as a peace mediator when the
time comes to end the world war.
Certain of the papers, commenting
guardedly, point out that the peace
reference in Germany's reply affords
the American executive an opportunity
to make a definite move for peace.
"The German note contains one pas
sage which we consider of the ut
most Importance" said the Vorwaerts
namely, the reference to the fact
that Germany has twice within re-
cent months declared its readiness
for a peace which would secure its
vital interests.
-"In conservative papers in the last
few days the opinion has been ex-
pressed that behind the action of the
American government there was hid
den an intention to step forward as
peace mediator. Perhaps this pas
sage in the German note will give Mr..
Wilson an occasion to make public
the terms of peace which he believes
possible.
president Wilson can perhaps do
more than merely maintain peace be-
tween Germany and the United
States" said the National Liberal
Gazette. '"Fate has thrown much
unheard-of power in this mans lap
that he could do still other things
for bleeding, suffering humanity Our
answer shows him the way"
veered more strongly toward peace
yesterday than at any time since the
war started. The Tagliche Rundschau
one of the papers which has opposed
concessions to America, also pointed
out yesterday President Wilson'S op-
portunities to assume the role OF
mediator.

One theory advanced in well in
formed circles here with reference cn
the possible purpose of the conference
the possible purpose of the con-

In connection with the last theory.

NEW YORK, Dec. Embarrassing
independence OF middlemen handling

creating almost unprecedented condi-

Contemplate building operations
that have been in sketch form design

with the opening OF the complete new

architects boards. and the difficulty
of obtaining contractors figures with
the uncertain conditions Of the price
market are more and more being made
attractive BY offering them cost Plus
1ixed profit. No one forsses price re
actions before next summer. There
are many reasons why prices should
go even higher.
In the paint and oil departments
conditions are rapidly approaching a
stage where 1t is not a question of
price, but a matter OF getting supplies
The same condition is true Of gravel,
sand. plate and window glass. copper,
all electrical supplies. metal and wire

There is a decided movement on foot
in certain quarters to protect dealers
and quotations were made Of sos.

Rosendale natural cement is now aaoe-
ed at 81 per barrel. Plate glass prices
have not been advanced. and window

HUGHES ARNINC FUR \ BRISK
 CAMPAIGN

BRIDGEHAMPTON. N. Y, July IS. When Charles F. Hughes leaves his summer place here in a month or six weeks. to start on the first leg of his proposed nationwide speech-making campaign, he will be, so far as is pos sible, prepared with argument and ad- dress to carry on the fight until No vember.
 Aside from work on his speech of acceptance and a round or two of golf daily, MT. Hughes is deyoting himself to a most careful study of campaign issues. Consequently he expects to be absolutely prepared to answer every argument put forth when his vacation is ended.
 MT. Hughes present plans are to plunge into the campaign not later than August 15, and possibly shortly after August 1. He will put in all the time he can here resting up and fram- ing his speeches. Ia has been sug- gested that he fire his first oratorical guns on the Pacific coast in August, and the idea appeals to him.
 During the six years he was on the United States supreme court bench MT. Hughes had no real vacation. His work at Washington was onerous, and he is taking full advantage of the present opportunity to build up physi- cally and thoroughly fit himself for the rigors of campaigning.
 Tn his speech of acceptance to be delivered in New York about July 15, Mir. Hughes has told several callers, he is having the assistance of his "closest advisor or"-Mrs. Hughes. He has added that he pays more heed to advice from her than from any one else.
 Mir. Hughes tramped twice around the golf course today, trying to i'm prove his game, which went stale a bit during his six years in Washing ton, where he played only occasion ally.

Charles E. Heron. published of the Anchorage Times, and Ed. l.. White more, of Seward, who attended the Republican convention at Valdez, re- turned to Cordova with the delegation from this city.
 Both gentlemen are greatly impress sed with the prosperity of Cordova, which is evident to any visitor
 Heron always has taken promi- nent part in the Republican party in Alaska, and was temporary chair. man of the convention at Valdez which endorsed Wickersham.
 Speaking of the action of the con vention this morning, Heron said: "The convention at Valdez did only that which was demanded of 1t by the Republicans of the territory. Previ' ous to the Seward convention Lewis Shackleford and his supporters in southeastern Alaska, instituted cam paign to nominate Wickersham at that convention.
 "This campaign was successfully carried out, so much so, that upon the failure of the convention to go through and name James Wickersham, it be- came more insistent, and the Valdez convention was forced, in the interest of harmony in it's own ranks, to full fill the promises made by Shackleford prior to the Seward convention"
 Heron was met in Cordova by his son, Willard, who is through pas senger on the Alaska, bound for An chorage, and will take the boat for his home town tonight Whittemore also will return on the Alaska to Seward.
