Chancellor Will Make New
Offer in Reichstag, Says
"Tageblatt.'
CRISIS IN HIGH CIRCLES
Demands Are Made for
Strong Man at Helm of
State.
MAY DAY HAS NO STRIKES
Radical Socialists Fail to Have
MunitiOn Workers
Celebrate.
Nay DAY HAS NO STRIKES

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, May DIR.
perial Chancellor, will make another
peace offer in the Reichstag on Thursday
Of this week. according to an announce
ment made to-day by the Berliner Taoe-
bldt,.
The Wcser Zeitung of Bremen reports
that Berlin is filled with rumors Of a
crisis In high Government quarters The
newspaper says that demands are being
made that a strong man be placed at the
helm OF the State.
BERLIN, via London. May 1.-Efforts
of the Radical Socialists to celebrate
May day by a holiday In the munition
factories failed. No cessation OF work
is reported. No parades were held and
90 disturbances occurred.
The Conservative Socialists had made
vigorous campaign in opposition to
any holiday to-day.
In announcing the failure of the
plans to cause holiday strikes the Ber-
lin authorities have offered a reward OF
5000 marks for the prosecution Of 'agi-
tators in enemy service who are try
ing to start dissension, especially in the
labor ranks, in Germany"
=
The General An5et0er OF Dusseldorf
said recently: "The world will be as
tonished by the moderation Of the Ger
man peace terms" in quoting in a re-
cent despatch from Berlin q statement
given out to foreign correspondents in
Berlin. For several weeks 1t has been
intimated that Germany might soon
make another peace OFFER and recent in
formation from Berlin showed that
Chancellor von Bethmann-liollweg was
expected soon IL make an announcement
in regard to international questions. al
though heretofore no announcement has
come from q responsible quarter that a
peace offer actually would be made.
For several months controversy has
been In progress in Germany ~ To the
aims Of Ia" war. The Socialists. rigor'
ousiy opposed by the pan-Geimans, are
urging a clear statement of Germany
peace terms ON the basis of no anneXa'
tons or iudcmnities. The Chancellor
was recently reported to have decided &c
defer definite formulation of peace pro
ppsals. The announcement OF the
/ Chunc.llors plan to make n peace onei
on Thursday receives added weight By
/ the fact that il appears In the Tdge.

PENNSYLVANIA ROAD
TO EMPLOY WOMEN
Will Direct Services of Men
Into Channels Most
Effective.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has de-
cided to employ women wherever women
can do work formerly done by men. No
men will be dropped from the railroads
payroll to make room for women. but
their occupations may be changed SO
that women can be used wherever prac-
ticable.
Ofiicials OF the railroad reached this
decision after several months OF ex-
perimentation In employing women The
experiments SO far have been confined
to clerical work.
The railroad Is actuated to take this
step to aid the conservation Of labor
and in conformity with the needs ere
ated by the present national crisis,
which require that the energies Of every
citizen be directed into channels where
they will be most effective. The rail-
road intends not only to meet current
needs existing through the shortage OF
labor but to anticipate as far as pos
sible others that may arise.
Every general superintendent on the
Pennsylvania lines east Of Pittsburg has
been directed by General Manager Elisha
Lee to investigate and report as promptly
as possible In what capacities girls or
women can he efficiently employed on
the road; what numbers can he used
ana 10 what extent they can perform inc
work now done by men.
Another motive in this shift In the
sex -of it's employees is to prepare for
the probability that selective conscrip-
tion will ultimately result In cons!d-
erable depletion Of the forces Of male
employees not actually engaged In the
physical operation of the road.
Stenosraphy. typewrittng and other
kinds OF Office work will be open to
women at once. according to the rail-
road's announcement This applies not
only to the general offices in Philadel-
phia. but to all other Offices where large
clerical forces are employed.
The investigation will endeavor to as
certain whether girls and women may
be employed advantageously in other po-
sitions. including the lighter forms OF
machine shop work telegraphy. sisnal-
ling. train dcspatching. ticket selling and
car cleaning
