the American Ambassador to secure from Consul Frost a full report of the sinking of the Laconia.
 The Laconia left New York on February IS and was bound for Liverpool with an assorted cargo containing contraband of war but no munitions. The Department at this time does not know whether or not any Americans lost their lives in the sinking of this ship. In the ab- sence of any statement to the effect that there has been a number lost, the Department of State has taken no official cognizance of the sink ing.
 AS far as can be gathered from the undecided reports, there is some uncertainty as to whether the sink- ing took place at night or not

Dresden, Chancellor Michaelis said that
while he was ready to accept any op-
portunity given him TO secure an hon
orable peace, the requirement OF the
hour for Germans was to avoid any
manifestations of nervousness ana
prove to their opponents that Ger
many's might was unweakened. Ger
many's opponents, DR.. Michaelis said,
had been greatly encouraged by the
exhibition of nerves in the latest inner
crisis and by the German longing for
peace, which was interpreted abroad as
a sign of weakening Of the German
PEOPLE. Peace would be brought no
nearer, he said, by such things, adding
tina. the government would continue its
efforts for peace, but would avoid
earlier mistakes.
Chancellor Michaelis intimated that
the prospects for speedy peace were
not bright, but that unexpected de-
velopments might at any moment bring
the question to a head and produce
tangible results. He appealed for unity
and declared that the entire German
press must back the government in all
vital questions.

College Diet Squad
Boosts Food Minimum
Use Up II Cents a Day, 2
Cents More Than
Policemen

New Brunswick, n. j.. Aug. 3.-The
cost of the irreducible minimum Of
food on which the average American
can live and retain his full vigor has
been boosted 2 cents since the New
York police rockies were experimental
upon last fall. At that time the mem
bers of the diet squad got enough to
eat from 25 cents a day. The Rutgers
College summer session diet squad,
which has been undergoing experiments
for the last month, finds that q cents
is only just sufficient.
Twenty-eight persons formed the
Rutgers diet squad. These were d.
vided into four families" of seven
each. Ali purchases were made at local
retail stores, and the conditions which
the average housewife is called upon
to meet were approximated as nearly
as possible.
The test showed that a family of
seven adults must spend at least Sl1.09
weekly for food alone. Month in and
month out, this low average could not
be maintained.

conquest Aims Show
Allies Desperation"

Rerlin. Aug. 3.-The "North German
Gazette" sees in British interest IN the
fulflrent Of French war aims an indl-
cation of a precarious condition OF the
Entente Allied cause. II says;
"a notable indication Of the precarl-
ous condition Of the Entente Allies is
found in England's sturdy championlng
Of French lust for Alsace-Lorraine and
English interest in the fuliilment OF
French wishes.
"A perusal of the text Of Balfours
speech, as IL has come to hand, would
seem TO indicate that this interest IS
only valid if, as ne assumes, the war
will end favorably for England. so
long as the Entente prospered ana
French war fervor required no stimu-
liant England appeared wholly unccon-
cerned regarding French war aims:
Now that France is revealing signs OF
exhaustion, England is endeavoring 10
save this ally by revivifying its avarice.
In keeping with her unscrupulous poll
tics, England hopes to continue to bene'
AZ from dismembered Continental Eu-
rope. Such politics, however, will suf-
fer shipwreck on the rocks OF the free
German Empire, which did not provoke
the war, in contrast 20 the Entente ma
tions hghting for conquest and enslsye-
rnent"

War-Weary Europe Losing
Hope of Military Decision

unlikely because the Socialists are
gaining strength daily.
Neutrals Now Cry for Food
So far no mention has been made
Of the effect of the war on the Euro
pean neutrals. Most of them have
grown rich, but they have reached
point where they want food more than
money. They are fully as war weary
as the belligerents, and they are dong
everything possible to stay further
bloodshed. Terrible as is the mo
mentum of war and feeble as are their
efforts in comparison, they continue
throwing obstacles in the way or tne
great war machine. and each time IL
slows perceptibly.. u
Scheidemann, the German Socialist,
who has at least quarter OF the
Reichstag supporting him, said recent
lv. "But more important than all this
is that now we can more quickly ar
rive at peace. And in that respect
will not give I'D ny hope in the Rus
sian Socialists-not the Maximalists
but the Minimalists. who are now In
mower. and who are there called social
PATRIOTS as We are here. Russia
urgently needs peace. The whole world
needs il. In order to obtain it we must
not be influenced by the momentary
state Of war, but unswervingly stick to
the programme which the Council OF
Workmen and Soldiers and the German
Reichstag have drawn up-a general
peace, without conquests and without
indemnities.
. at is to be hoped that none will fall
into the old mistake Of offering Russia q
separate peace; but if Russia herself
wishes peace she should be told that
in no quarter do German ideas Of con-
quest stand in the way, and the inde,,
pendence and integrity Of Belgium and
the integrity of France are in any case
guaranteed. Lloyd Georges suspicion
that Germany wants to lay her hands
on Belgium Is unfounded."

Kuhlman Opposed
By Won ReUentlolD

Copenhagen, Aug. 3.-The prospect Of
DR.. Richard Won Kuhlman, German Am.
bassador to Turkey, being appointed
Foreign Secretary is highly unpleasant
to Count Won Rsventlow, who in pun
gent article in the "Tageszeitung' ar
raigns him for high crimes as an
Anglophile opponent Of submarine war
fare. Count Won Reventlow says that
DR.. Won Huffman in the ante-bellum
days was the leading protagonist Of a
policy of understanding with England
at the expense of German sea power
and as Minister to The Hague he en-
deavored to prevent submarine war
fare by warnings of warlike complica-
tions with Holland. DR.. Won Kuhlman,
the article declares. would, as Foreign
Secretary, render harmonious coopera-
ton between the Foreign Office and the
navy on submarines out of the ques-
ton.
There is little doubt, according to
the belief expressed here, that Count
Won Reventlow in his article Is speak
ing for the navy circles.

PenfeId Accused of
Vaccinations in Austria

Amsterdam, Aug. Count Won
Reventlow, in an article in the "Tages-
zeitung," referring to Mr.. Balfour's
speech in the House of Commons. in
which he speaks of the nationalities
of Austria Hungary determining their
own course of future development,
tells his readers of widespread machin-
ations of American agents in Austria
Hungary, started by former Ambassa-
dor Penfeld long prior to the Aus.
tro-American breach.
The article says that Americans, who
left Austria soon after the breach
talked confidently TO neutrals of "im-
pending complete political isolation of
Germans in Austria. while in Hungary
also secret organization of Entente
nations and America soon would bear
fruit" Both predictions have been
fulfilled, says Count Won Reventlow,
who Garkly adds: How long the for
mer Ambassador TO Constantinople,
Elkus, remained in Vienna, or whether
he is still there, we do not know"
Mr.. Balfour's idea. says Count Won
Reventlow, is the dissolution OF the
ustro-Rungarian monarchy, which
squares exactly with the aims Of the
Czech Poles.

Troops to Train in South
Because of Lack of Ship
ping, Baker Says
Guard Leaves First
Scarcity of Officers to Train
Men Makes Large Camps
Here Necessary
rBy Telegraph to The TnbunsI

By Telegraph 10 Inc lFpuheI
Washington, Aug 3.-The first official
admission that the Administration in
tends to rush the National Army TO
France as fast as ships can be obtained
was disclosed to-day in the correspond
ence between Secretary Of War Baker
and Senator'S Sherman, of Illinois; La
Toilette. OF Wisconsin, and Townsend,
of Michigan.
1t is only because of the lack of ship
ping sufficient to transport all the Ma
tional Guard before winter, the Score
tary explains. that the camps we're es-
tablished in the South, the less rigor-
Gus climate Of which would favor win
ter training.
This War Department explanation OF
the decision TO train the Guard in the
South is in conhict with the assurances
of the Navy Department that sufficient
ships are available to transport all the
troops as fast as the army chiefs pro-
nounce them ready for France.
Dispute Raised Over Waco
Senator La Toilette and Senator
Townsend protested particularly against
sending the Observation-Disclosures divis-
ions Of the Guard to Waco, Texas,
which they declared is infested with
malaria, according to the United States
Public Health reports. Secretary Bs-
ker replied to this charge that at Waco
"there is no typhoid or other disease
prevalent"
at is intended to send troops to
