H0LLWEG TO GIVE
GERMANY'S TERMS
Plain Statement of Central
Powers Attitude to Be
Made by Chancellor.
THREE PLANS AT PRESENT
One Faction Seeks Large In
demnity; Socialists Stand
for Other Extreme.

COPENHAGEN, May 5.-(via Lon
donl-A palmer declaration of Ger
mans peace conditions will be made
by Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg within a fortnight.
Dr. Karl Helfferich, the chan
cellor, announced yesterday that an
answer would be made within this
time by the chancellor to the inter
pellatiOns presented by the conserva-
tives and Socialists. The chancellor
decision to define Gcrmany's aims
was the result of pressure exerted
from all sides.
Broadly speaking German ideas of
the peace conditions which the EN-
pire should offer are divided into
three classes. The imperialistic ex-
tremists, such as the Pan German
league and the Army and Navy
league, are ling peace with in
IDENTITIES and widely increased terri
tory while the Socialist program ad-
vocates peace without annexation or
indemnities. A third group occupies
a middle ground.
The conservatives and majority So
cialists both have introduced inter-
pellations in the reichstag. the for
mer declaring that the Socialist pro-
gram has caused uneasiness among
the people, owing to lack Of a clear
pronouncement by the chancellor on
the subject. which he is asked If he
Is willing to make. The Socialist in
terpellation also requests the chan
cellor to state his attitude towards
that party's progress.
A statement by Dr. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg on international relations
and peace conditions was expected
to be made on Thursday last in the
reichstag. but day or two before
that it was announced that the chan
cellor had deferred his speech to a
more suitable time. The difficulty,
IL not the impossibility, of outlining
a policy that would even measurably
satisfy either OF the extremes was
considered to have induced him to
temporize. Recent dispatches have
indicated that the pressure for some
definite utterance was becoming too
great for him to withstand and that
a pronouncement of some sort on the
subject would be necessary.

The success of the Four Wheel Drive Auto
Company was not created by force of large

Today the large factory, expanding as fast as the
demand requires, is turning out trucks for every
country in the world.

A demonstration will quickly prove the unusual

About n mile below Richmond. in what is now the brickyard region, there used to stand the residence or the Mayo family, a place known as POwhatan. This place has long been pointed out as the scene of the saving of Smith by the Indian girl, but late research has proved that. though Smith did come up the James to the present site of Richmond, his capture by the Indians did not occur here. but in the vicinity of Jamestown. The Indians took him first to one of their villages on York river, near the pres ent site of West Point, Va, and thence to a place on the same stream ill the county of Gloucester, where the pow hatan, or tribal chief, resided Here, on the west side of the river, some nine miles from Williamsburg, the scene of Smiths rescue by Pocahontas has been located.-Julian Street in Golfers.

 The headquarters is now able to ham, dle from fifty to sixty thousand blanks every day. Up to last Saturday night, l:O.0OO census returns had been tab ulated and filed at the state headquar- ~ters. If the towns and cities send their blanks to Hartford as fast as the state headquarters can take care of them, 100000 returns can be tabulated in the six days of the present week.

"Overhana" Houses.

By the year 1870 wooden chimneys and log houses of the Plymouth and Bay colonies were replaced by more slightly houses of two stories, which were frequently built with the second story 5utting out a foot or two over the first and sometimes with the at tic story still further extending oyer the second story. This "overhang' is popularly supposed to have been built for the purpose of affording con venient shooting place from which to repel the Indians. This Is, however. historic fable. The Overhanging sec Ond story was a common form of building in England in the time of Queen Elizabeth, and the Massachu- setts and Rhode Island settlers sim ply and naturally copied their old homes -
