GERMAN PRESS AFTER KAISER
EMPEROR ASSAILED FOR TELE-

Calls It irresponsible Conduct Of For.

Reichstag May Act.

Copenhagen, Aug. 16. - Publication
Of Emperor Williams telegram to
President Wilson in the memoirs of
former Ambassador Gerard and the
lame and belated attempt at explana-
ton by the semi-official Nord Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung calls for criticism
in the German press of what is term
ed the German emperor's irresponsi-
BILE conduct Of the foreign affairs of
the empire.
Various Berlin newspapers comment
on the system which permits q SOW
ereign to pass upon such q proposal
from a neutral power and to draft an
important state document without con-
sultation with responsible minister,
even without the necessary record sub
sequently being made.
Occasions General Discomfort.
The incertitude of the semi-oflcial
organ, which can only say that pos.
sibly" the emperor may have draft.
ed some such memorandum, occasions
general discomfort.
The German press also sharply crit
icises the action of the censor who
prevented the publication OF any ref.
erence to the Gerard disclosures for
nearly week after the Allied and
neutral newspapers had printed full
particulars.
The Berlin newspapers intimate that
the question Of ministerial RESPONSE
bility or non-responsibility for Emper-
or Williams autographed document
will be raised in the reichstag.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Ten-dollar flour
and two-dollar wheat will probably be
prices considered equitable for those
staples if plans made by the organiza-
ton of the United States millers are
satisfactory to Food Administrator
Herbert G. Hoover.
The United States Millers war or
ganized by representative millers from
all parts of the country. The advisory
committee of the organization consists
Of eight men, namely: ]. F. Bell Of
Minneapolis, chairman; A. p. Hus-
band of Chicago, secretary; Albert c..
Loring, Minneapolis, Andrew j. Hunt
Arkansas City; Edgar M. Kelly, Nash
vile; Samuel Plant, st. Louis; Mark
N. Monnel, Toledo; Fred J. Freling-
ham, Lockport, N. Y, and Theodore B.
Wilcox, Portland, Ore.
The eight men have been named
heads Of district in which it is
planned to divide the country. Plans
are being made for the district heads
to meet Mr.. Hoover and lay before
him the result of their deliberations.
Flour Price Must Wait.
The statement of the meeting says
in part:
1.-THE organization of millers will
form definite part of the federal food
administration, and thus it's powers, as
exercised through it's central commit
tee, will necessarily be very great.
Through its relation with the grain
corporation, with the wheat export
company and the federal government,
1t will be enabled to secure for its
members advantages which otherwise,
acting merely as isolated millers,
they could not possibly hope to obtain,
and without which it would be difficult
for them to transact business.
3D.. Must Make Low Price.
1.-THE fundamental purpose Of this
vast organization will be to provide
the people of the United States and
their allies with adequate supplies of
-four at the lowest prices compatible
with continued and sound operation.
To make this possible the millers who
join the organization will pledge them
selves to sell -four and mill feed, so
long as the war continues, at prices
which shall include not more than
definitely established and publicly
stated margins of profit. The organi-
cation will, furthermore, put itself at
the disposal of the federal government
for all purposes relating to the sue
cessful conduct of the war;" ...|

CONFER WITH LANSINGN
ON PROBABLE COURSE
PapaI Peace Move Not Likely to
Change in Any Substantial Degree
the Attitude Of Either American
Government or Its AIIies-Re-
ply ls to Be Made.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Conferences
among Allied diplomats crystallized
into conviction the opinion here thai
Pope Benedict's peace move ts not
likely to change in any substantial de
gree the attitude either of the Allies OF
the American government.
1t is agreed, however, that there
must be made response to the Pope's
proposal far more comprehensive thar
a mere acknowledgment of receipt
To do this without opening the field
to argument which might result in
developing differences between the
Allies to be seized upon by the Ger
mans is realized to be difficult and q
delicate undertaking.
Think Pope Imposed Upon.
While there is no disposition to
question the good faith of the Pope, II
is conceivable that he might have been
imposed upon by German cunning, as
Stunning that he has been induced to
take this step through the pleas of the
strong Catholic elements in Austria
and Bavaria.
The official text of the Pope's note
has not reached Washington, but that
fact did not prevent various diplomatic
conferences on the subject. Mr.. Ian.
sing talked separately with Ambassa.
dor Jusserand of France and Colville
Barclay, charge of the British embassy
in the absence Of Ambassador Spring.
Rice.
These talks may be regarded as pre-
liminary to the more formal exchanges
expected to take place among the AL
lied powers before answers are re-
turned to the Vatican proposals, and
it is understood they are designed to
place the foreign Offices in London and
Paris in possession of the general
views of Secretary Lansing as basis
for their own action.
Spanish Envoy Sees Lansing.
Ambassador Riano of Spain also
talked with the secretary, who after
ward indicated that he thought that
the Pope's message might reach him
through that channel.
In anticipation of an outburst of
peace talk at the capitol, plans were
made by Senate leaders, both Demo.
cratic and Republican, to prevent open
discussion Of the subject in the Sen
ate.
Opposed to Pope's Proposal.
Again the fact appeared that every
representative Of the Allied powers is
bitterly opposed to that phase Of the
POpe's PROPOSALS which would leave
to the fate of a round-table conference
the disposition Of such questions as
Alsace-Lorraine, Poland and Italia Ir.
ridentia, and it was recalled that pre-.
cisely that bait was held out by Chan
cellor Bethmann-Hollweg more than
year ago when he realized that the
German wave of invasion had reached
its height and that the tide might flow
backward.
