PROTESTS PROPOSE
 APPEAL TO GERMANS
Would Go Over KaiSer's Head and
 Speak to People

New York, April 6.-The emergency peace federation proposes in me- morial telegraphed to the presi- dent, congress, and addressed also to the American people, that immediate ly after the declaration of war, con- gress shall send to the Reichstag. both direct, by wireless and through the Swiss minister. notification that ''this war against the German gov- ernment, which is now autocratic and Irresponsible, will be averted only by the establishment of responsible and democratic government in Ger many"
 The federation praises the presi- dents "wise and statesmanlfke' state ment that America has no quarrel with the German people, and that we are fighting only ''an irresponsible government which is running amuck. .'
 This appeal to the German peo- ple," says the federation, twill prove that the presidents declaration is true. It will cement the loyalty of al! our foreign-born citizens, and it. may attain, without the shedding of blood. the whole professed object of our entry into the war. We make this plea as Americans. undivided in our allegiance of the honor of the world. The president himself has suggested this course, backed by tho alternative of war. to the limit of our resources.
 Historical precedent exists, both in America and in Germany. for an appeal directly over the heads of an autocratic government to the people themselves. During the American Civil war the British court of St. James was frankly hostile to the cause of the North; both because they desired to break the blockade of Southern ports in order to obtain the cotton, and also because they desired to see the great republic fall. Abra- ham Lincoln appealed over the heads to the British people by sending Henry Ward Beecher to plead to the people of England the cause of human freedom. His stroke was in defiance of diplomatic usage; but it succeeded, and the people of England forced the government of Queen Vic- toria to bow to their will
 There is another precedent. Dur- ing the Franco-German war the
  teered to carry to the French pro- visional government a suggestion from Count Won Bismarck that an armistice be declared during which the French nation might elect a national assembly, which should con- stitute responsible government with which the German commanders might discuss terms of peace. This election was held and the national assembly elected during the truce of Bismarck. formed the present French republic. General Burnside's offer, freely made. was accepted by Bismarck and strong ly endorsed by Great Britain and three other neutral nations.
 On the basis then of the historical precedents established by the greatest of American statesmen, Abraham Lin- coin, and the greatest of German statesmen, Bismarck. we appeal to the president, to congress and to the American people.

MT. Johnson. who did not give his address, called the police station by telephone this afternoon in an indig- nant mood, to lodge a complaint against the service at the Church street railroad crossing. According to his story, he was riding along the street when the 12:04 o'clock train from Berlin whizzed by the crossing with the gates up. Ohcers Crowley and veley were despatched to the scene, where they found the gateman gently seated inside the shanty. He told the officers that this was his first day on the job and while reading paper he forgot about the approach of the train.

X "BoNE DRY" NEW YORK


 Against the Business That Puts the
 'eWick' in Wickedness.
 New York, April 6.-Should the legislature pass the proposed Hill- Wheeler city local option bill, it was predicted yesterday that a campaign to make New York bone dry territory would come in for characteristically vigorous discussion on the part of Billy Sunday during his'three months quest for trail hitters here.
 In statement issued yesterday afternoon William 1T. Anderson, super intendent of the Anti-Saloon league of New York, announced that nothing would be done to change the Sunday meetings from being other than the evangelist desires them, for the pur- pose of preaching undiluted gospel of the old-fashioned variety. But. MT. Anderson added, the organization left here after the departure of MT. Sum day would be asked to use all of it's powers to comb the city, block by block, to obtain signatures that would bring the question of saloon closing to . vote at an early date.
 Members of the evanGslist's party who are arriving in the city by almost every train, call attention to his record as fighter and say that 1t is hardly possible that he will ignore an op- portunity to strike a body blow at his arch enemy-rum-in the seat of it's greatest power. They are convinced that if the bill is passed he will take the lead in working for 8 dry city.

DENIES NEW PEACE OFFER

6clman NeWspaper Says Reports of
 Ofer From Austria Hungary Are
 Without Any Foundation.
 Amsterdam, April GA Berlin dis patch to the "Koelnische Zeitung'' de- hies the rumors of a new peace offer by the Central Powers which have arisen following Count Czernin's statement and the meeting of Em- peror William and Emperor Charles. The dispatch says, however, that there Is no change in the principle, repeat edly stated officially, of the readiness of the Central Powers to enter nego- tiations for ''an honorable peace"
 S'Regarding the preliminaries for these negotiations" says the paper, nobody need be in doubt that they cannot be altered by events in Amer ica. We are in possession and await calmly developments in the enemy camp. We shall not allow this calm, which is founded upon successes on land and. sea. to be snatched from us"
 ID. Rizow. Bulgarian minister to Germany, in an interview with the ''Vossiche Zeitung,' says that the worlds centre of gravity has shifted from the west to the east, and that it is not America who will decide the issue of the war; but Russia.
 ''As soon as this gigantic empire be- gan to wabble," said M. Rizow, .'the hole Entente structure started to crack. The process of political de- composition in Russia could not be stopped. The only government which can endure in Russia is one which will bring the people a long-desired peace"

Draw your Own
Conclusions

WE could very properly tell you in
this advertisementth that we believe Good
year Tires will serve you better than
any others.
And we could do it honestly, for it is
our profound conviction.
But we prefer that you get your infor.
nation from less interested sources you
know are unbiased, and uninhuenccd BY
any consideration save the character of
the tires themselves.
We prefer that you get it from people
right around yOu-from your neighbor.
and the fellow farther up the rOad-from
any of the motor car owners in your
township.
So we suggest that you ask any of
these people about Goodyear Tires.
We make the suggestion without re.
striction. We do not confine it simply
to users of Goodyear Tires. We would
have it include users of all makes. We
want your inquiry to be as wide as pos.
Siblc.
Ask any of these people what mile
rgeS they are getting from the tires they
use. What sort of after.purchase SER
vice from the dealer Aow much their
money buys in comfort, endurance and
freedom from trouble.
Then compare the results enjoyed by
Goodyear users as against the others,
and draw your own conclusions.
