GERMAN PRESS RAPS1
KAISER FOR HIS NOTE
Terms Conduct in Affairs With Gerard as irresponsible
Sharply Crtcises Censor For Suppressng
Disclosures

Copenhagen. Aug. adjudication
of Emperor Williams telegram to
President Wilson in the memoirs OF
eX- I'm bassador Gerard and the
lame and belated attempt at explain
alton made by the semiotficial Nord
Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung calls
forth criticism in the German
press of what is termed the German
Emperor's irresponsible conduct of
the foreign affairs of the empire.
The various Berlin newspapers
comment on the system which per-
mits a sovereign to pass upon such
proposal from n neutral power
and to draft an important Stase doc
ument without consultation with re-
sponsible minister or even without
the necessary record subsequently be-
ing made. The incertitude of the
semiofficial organ. which can only
say that possibly" the Emperor may
have drafted some such memoran-
dunn, occasions general discomfort.
The German press also sharply
critises the action of the censor,
who prevented the publication of any
references to the Gerard disclosures
for nearly week after the Entente
and neutral newspapers had printed
full particulars, and the inability of
the new German Foreign Secretary,
Doctor Won Kuehlmann, in his first
official action to produce a firmer or
more convincing refutation or ex-
PLANTATION.
Berlin newspapers intimate that
the question of ministerial RESPONSE
bility or non-responsibility for EN-
peror Williams autographed docu-
ment will be raised in the Reichstag,
the situation on general lines resem-
bling that arising from the famous
interview with the Emperor printed
in the London Daily Telegraph sew
eral years ago, which likewise ap-
peared without the Chancellor, For
eign Secretary or other responsible,

Secretary Lansing said to-day he
had received no further information
of, the Pope's peace proposals that
what he had read in the newspapers.
The document may come through
Ambassador Page in London or the
British Ambassador here.
No Reply For Some Time
Diplomats generally believe there
will be no reply for some time. 1t
is pointed out that President Wilson
has the difficult task of not refusing
to discuss the proposals and yet not
make a reply out of harmony with
the statements already made by
statesmen of England and France.
The question of return to Germany
of her lost colonies, especially in the
Far East is regarded by some dip
lomats as not so important as has
been generally believed. They do
not think that the loss or retention
of Germans holdings in China would
make much difference to her. They
pointed out that European powers
are interested in a division of colon
ial dominins in the Far East and
that it is not impossible that Ger
many might be permitted to regain
hers. The neutrals think the real
stumbling block would come over
disposition of Alsace-Lorraine.

A Beautiful Complexion
For Only rs Gents

Keep on using expensive creams
and washes and ointments If you
want to" says Peterson. IT'S none OF
my business how you squander your
money. but If you really want to get
rid of pimples. facial blemishes of
any kind or any skin disease. nv
honest advice is to get Twenty-Five
cent box of Peterson's Ointment to-
day."
Men and Women: IL you want a
complexion clean and clear, soft and
velvety; one that will compel the
admiration of all the people you
meet, start to use Peterson's Oint-
ment to-night-use 1t freely, rub
bing we'll into the skin. Continue for
a week or until every pimple, black
head, eruption or rash is gone.
Don't fail to try 1t and YOU can
take my word for it you'll be proud
of your lovely skin and your friends
will envy your bewitching complex
ion. Any fair minded druggist will
back up what Peterson says because
he is authorized to return your
money without question IL Peterson'a a
Ointment doesn't make good.-Adv.

A new electric mill installed in the

Gasoline Tank Near Flames
At the time of the fire no one
was in the building. Employees who
had been working there earlier in the
morning were absent on other duties
when the fire started. About a week
ago the owner had placed more than
500 bushels of corn in storage. which
was burned. Only the work of the
tiremen saved a large gasoline tank
near by containing about 500 gallons
from exploding.
New Apparatus Used
The 1rst piece of the city's mo-
torized fire apparatus recently
brought to Harrisburg from Phila-
delphia saw service this morning.
The truck of the Susquehanna Com
pany No. was one of the companies
sent from the city. "a was rumored
in Penbrook that the reason the Har-
risburg companies did not come
sooner was that a big fire was rag
ing in Enola. Upon investigation it
was learned that the cross river fire
was a myth.
The blaze was under control about
1890 o'clock only after a hard fight.
The pressure on the fire plugs was
very poor but after the Harrisburg
steamer began working the fire was
soon under control. The Penbrook
company was handicapped by the
lack of suitable equipment to fight
the flames.
Will Rebuild

this morning how soon it would be
before he began to rebuild. AS soon

Samuel +. Dunkle, Superintendent
of Public Safety, serving out the un-
expired councilmanic term of the
late Harry f. Bowman, will not be
Il candidate for reelection. He made
this announcement this afternoon.
Official notice of the withdrawal ~
his nomination papers came later in
the day. His connections with sew
eral of Harrisburg's importnt indus
trial plants will not permit him to
give the necessry time to a public Of
fee. he said.
II have had under consideration
for several days my withdrawal as|
Il candidate for Commissioner" Mr..
Dunkle said. II regret very much
the necessity for taking this action
because my friends have been rally
ing to my cause and l felt sure of|
reelection. 1 like my duties as al
Commissioner and had planned some|
new things in the event of my re-
turn to office.
Il find, however, that one cannot|
do justice to two positions. Whenl
l am serving the people Harrisburg
l am never sure that / m not need
ed elsewhere, and when / take up|
my purely business duties, feel that
the city needs them. To do justice to|
| the city office | am now filling onel
should give it his entire attention.
The same holds good as to my in-|
| dustrial interests. l would like to|
serve the people of Harrisburg, butt
/ / feel that I cannot do it we'll and|
at the same time look after my 9TH
er interests"
Mr.. Dunkle is president of the|
| Harrisburg Boiler and Manufacture
ing Company; and president of the|
| Ferriday Paper Company. He also|
| has other interests with which he|
has been identified for some time.
| Referring to present water conf
ditions in Harrisburg. Mr.. Dunkle
! said he was at work on plan which,
he believes will bring satisfactory
results. He has not completed de-
tails. 1t is understood he will trY
to work both the old and new plants
| at the same time. This, 1t is saidI
will give the city 100000 gallons
of water daily. The filter plant cam

come the deficiency should both

after the battalions of the three
aforementioned regiments holding
the trenches had been put out of ac-
tion the reserve battalions were
moved UP hurriedly. At 9 o'clock
while headed toward Hill 20 these
battalions were caught under our ar
tillery fire and dispersed.
The enemy leaders next called
up the fourth guard division, which
had been held on this section of the
line for such an emergency as that
which confronted the defenders of
Lens. The guards proceeded toward
Bois Hugo with the evident intention
of retaking Hill 70. They, too, were
caught under our artillery and ma
chine gun barrage and so roughly
handled that two attempts to ad-
vance, one at 11.50 o'clock and the
second shortly after noon, had to be
abandoned.

contents.
The most comprehensive rresenta-
ton of press opinion is given by the
Hamburg Fremdenblatt. 1t criti-
cises the delay in appearance of the
semiofffcial statement, which, the
newspaper says. was neither adroit
nor forceful. betrays the embarrass-
ment of the writer and adopts a tone
of discouraged defiance.
The Fremdenblatt is inclined to
question the varacity of the assertion
made by the Nord Deutsche Allie
gemeine ZeitunE that the document
was not n telegram. saying that il
Ambassador Gerard really character
ized'mere notes jotted down to assist
his memory as a formal telegram
from the Emperor it would undoubt-
edly be incorrect, but adding that
the semiofficiaI newspaper does not
question that the ideas were the
Emperors.
The Fremdenblatt concludes that
the explanation of the Nord Deutsche
Allegemeine Zeitung is not calculat-
ed to raise German prestige and ad-
monlishes Foreign Secretary Kuehl-
mann when next he is confronted
by revelations from the other side
to deny them boldly and stoutly.
Count Won Reventlow, writing in
the Tages Zeitung, shifts the blame
for the Emperor's irresponsible ac-
ton from his Majesty to DIR. Vor

perial Chancellor. who, the writer
says, should have been present. TIL.
Count attacks the ex-Chancellor fol
failing to war.l the Emperor abou

bassador."
In all the press comment the
German Emperor and the Govern
ment officials get most of the hare
knocks. The substance of Mr.. Ger
ards statements is largely ignored.

PEssNnsTIC COMMENT

BuenoS Aires, Aug. 1b.-Comment
on the peace proposals of the Pope
is generally pessin.istic. The leading
Argentine newspapers recognize that
certain points are coincident with the
ideas of President Wilson, but that
the conditions and propositions of
the Pope will not be accepted.

ADVERSE IMPRESSION

London, Aug. 16.-The text of the
papal peace note does not remove
the adverse impression produced here
by the publication of its summary.
on the contrary it strengthens the
conviction that the note is inspired
by the Central Powers and the opin-
ion is that it's proposals are impossi-
BILE. The editorials express much
respect for the Pope and his profes-
sion of perfect impartiality. but re-
gard him unable to appreciate the
matter at issue.
