NEW PEACE OFFER Is EXPECTED
FROM TEJTON EMPIRES
German Periodical Claims Central
PoWers Will Submit New Prop
OSitiOn ON Settlement

Amsterdam, Oct. ga new peace
offer is Forthcoming from the Teutonic
empires according to prediction II
the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, assert
ed 10 be based upon an authoritative
source. The paper adds the offer will
propose.
!. No territorial! aggrandizements.
2. Surrender by Germany Of Bel
GUM and Northern France.
g. positive territorial acquisi-
Glons'' to be bought and paid for II
cash
4. No indemnities oy anyone.
An element of suspicion attaches
to the report because of the identity
of its disseminator. The Deutsche
Tages Zeitung is the pan-German
organ in which Count Ernest Zu Rev
entlow vents his views. For months
this junkrish firebrand has shouted at
the top of his editorial lungs that
Germany was being betrayed" by the
pacifsts, among whom he includes
the prime movers behind the reich
stag's majority bloc. "a German
peace has been his hobby through
out the war. 1t has considered likely
therefore that the Tages Zeituns
printed the report to elicit fiat de-
nial from the government or other
wise force showdown.
sTerritorial Acquisitions"
But even if it is true, Entente
diplomats here pointed out tonight
The alleged offer will contain no con-
eessions whatever and therefore form
NO basis for an understanding: A
clever piece CT word Juggling is seen
IN the alleged terms of the offer. Par
ticularly the phrase positive territor-
ial acquisitions" diplomats here pro-
fess TO recognize pan-German terms
in the garb of conciliatory bergain-
ing. By afiixing the word positive
The road is left clear toward the
claiming of such territories, for in
stance, as Courland, with Riga, which
"xhe Germans may claim are not ''pos-
hive acquisitions" but merely ere
eonquests," their assertion being that
this land properly belongs to the -em-
pire.
Moreover the phrase could be made
TO work both ways. Applied to Rr-
mania, for instance, it would mean
She imposition of huge sum in pay
ment for evacuation. Rumania hav-
ing no money, she would then be
Eorced virtually to sell herself, that
is, her oil wells anu grain fields, to
Hhe Central Powers in return for nou.-
Inal possessions Of her own house In
.short, the terms of the reported forth
scom1ng peace offer embody many and
manifold possibilities, all of which
close observers say can benefit only
ffhe central Power.

Moore's Sister Defends Kelly.

"Mr. Kelly is not guilty. I wouldn't
believe that he murdered Joe if he
signed written confession. Ny
seven brothers and my sister would
not and could not believe that Mr..
Kelly is the murderer"
Miss Minnie Moore of Omaha,
sister of Joseph B. Moore, who, with
his wife, four children and the two
Stillinger girls were the victims of
the Villisca AK murders, thus ex-
pressed her confidence in the inno-
cence of the accused clergyman.
Miss Moore lives in the Leigh
apartments, EOS North Twenty-ffth
avenue. She was in Omaha June 9,
1912, she said.
"Oh, know Mr.. Kelly is not
guilty" she said with great empha-
sis. "Why, the authorities have three
times as much evidence against other
persons as they have against Mr..
Kelly.
THAT so-caIled bloody shirt that
was washed in a Council Bluffs laun-
cry does not incriminate Mr.. Kelly.
He says hair tonic, not blood, stained
the shirt. Mr.. Grout and Mrs. Mar
quardt may believe it was blood they
saw on the shirt. But can they prove
it2 Did they analyze it chemically?
Do they knew the chemical difference
between air tonic and blood?
"Our family knew about that So
called blooCy shirt three years ago.
We did nos consider it damaging evil
dence against Mr.. Kelly and we do
not so consider it now.
What motive would Mr.. Kelly have
for killing my brother; None. If
a crazy man. just driven by lust for
blood, committed the murders, why
then did he not kill the family that
was sleeping in a tent near my broth
cr's house2
mo, sir, the man who killed Toe
must have had a motive and Mr.. Kelly
had none and could have had none.
IF Mr.. Kelly pays the penalty for
the murders, even then / and my

PETAIN COMMANDS
ARMIES OF FRANCE
General at First Selected by
Joffre is Given Full Charge
of ALI Military 0per-
atoms.

Paris, May l5.-General Petain was
appointed as commander-in-chief OF
the French armies operating on the
French front at a cabinet meeting
today.
General Nivele was placed in
command OF a group OF armies. Cen
eral Foch, who played an important
role in the battles OF the Marine and
the User, succeeds General Petain as
chief Of staff OF the ministry OF war.
General Petain, who was retired
colonel at the outbreak of the war,
is the man to whom many French
men have been looking for the mi
tiative which would win a decisive
success on the French front. To him
more than any other commander now
in active service with the French the
legend OF success attaches. He be-
came popular hero and the idol OF
the soldiers for his defense OF YER

talists of all countries. and, therefore,
xfter the abdication of the car the
people considered it urgent to end
the war as rapidly as possible.
DO not forget, soldiers and COM
rades, that the regiments of William
are destroying revolutionary Russia.
Do not forget that the loss of free
Russia would be catastrophe, not
only to us, but to the working classes
of the entire world. Defend, therefore,
revolutionary Russia with all your
power.
General Peace Wanted.
"The workmen and peasants of Rus
STA long for peace, but it must be a
general peace of all nations. the re-
suit of their common agreement. A
separate peace is an impossible thing
which must not be allowed to inter-
fere with or embarrass the course OF
events in the world. 1t is evident
that German imperialism, after having
defeated our western allies, would
turn against us the whole power of
its arms, seize our country and en-
slave the Russian people.
"The council OF soldiers and work
mems delegates leads you toward
peace in another way. By calling for
revolution Of the workmen and peas
ants of Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary, we will lead you to peace after
having obtained from our government
a remuneration of the policy OF con-
guest and after demanding a similar
remuneration from the allied powers.
Must Check Enemy.
But do not forget, soldiers and
comrades, shat peace cannot be
achieved If you do not check the
enemy's pressure at the front, if your
ranks are pierced and the Russian
revolution lies like an inanimate body
at Williams feet.
do not forget you are in the
trenches, that you are defending the
liberty OF the Russian revolution and
your brother workmen and peasants.
Now, how are you to accomplish
this defense, if you remain inactive in
your trenches3 Frequently only an
offensive can repel or check hostile
offensive, frequently only those who
await an attack perish.
Avoid Fraternity Trap.
Soldiers and comrades, having
sworn to defend Russian liberty, do
not renounce the offensive. Fight
and struggle for this liberty, and
while fighting and struggling fear the
.nemy's traps. The fraternizing
which is taking place at present at
the front might easily become trap.
Don't forget that revolutionary
troops have only the right to frater-
nize with troops who are also revolu-
tionary, and who are also ready to die
for peace and liberty.
The German army is not a revo-
lutionary army if it still blindly fol-
lows William and Charles, emperors
and capitalists. You are fraternizing
openly. not with enemy soldiers, but
with officers Of the enemy's general
staff, disguised as common soldiers.
Aniity Imperative to Victory.
peace will not be obtained by Sc
cret treaties or by the iraternizing oil
isolated regiments and battalions,
This will only lead to the loss OF the
Russian revolution, the safety oil
which does not lie in separate peace
or armistice.
Reject, therefore, everything
which weakens your military power
which distracts the army and lowers
its morale. Soldiers, be worthy Of
the trust that revolutionary Russia
puts in you"
