It is suggested by the publisher of German news

Furopeau war in a few months by very simple ex-
Incident He proposes that the United States send an
rItir,atun, to Germany and her allies to the effect
that thew must cease fighting within one month, other
wise the United States will Join with their enemies
and seek TO crush the central powers; and that the
limited States at the same time that it notifies the
central movers shall also send utmatum to Britain
and her allies to the effect that, unless they cease
ob+in0 within one month"; the United States will stop
all commerce between any OF the behgerents and the
United States Coupled with these utimatums, it IS
proposed that the United States demand that all bel
gerents shall send fully accredited delegates to the
United States to agree on peace terms, and that the
American representative shall preside at the conference
The Chicago editor says that the peremPtory de-

CLAIMS PACKERS
NOT COMPETING
Gov. Stuart Says He Never
Receives More Than One
Bid on His Cattle.

Washington, D. c., April 14-Gov.
Stuart Of Virginia told a house sub
committee today stock raisers had lost
money in the last year largely because
of the lack Of competition among beef
packers. He testified in favor Of the
Borland resolution to investigate the
packing industry to determine whether
the antitrust laws are being violated.
In the 80 years that ] have been
raising cattle, I never have had more
than one bid on a single bunch of
stock, said Gov. Stuart. when that
condition obtains year after year, there
is only one conclusion to reach about
what the packers are doing"

probable profit the company derived.
The governor estimated their profit on
while the packing company represen-

good argument for a thorough inquiry.

interests Of the consumer into the in

under discussion were of a much high
