CHICAGO. Jan. 3.-The Chicago American has tremendous story in tonight's issue under great headlines which is claimed to be universal scoop.
 The paper says 1t has confidential information that Germany is prepqr- ed to defy the whole world, if peace negotiations fail.
 Germany's announcement on this subject Is now declared to be in the hends of Ambassador Bernstorff. It is further stated that he has orders to release the proclamation to the world within forty eight hours, if the peace negotiations shall fail.
 The declaration soon to be issued says that Germany is prepared to force the greatest battles on both land and sea ever known in the his- tory of man.
 Her land campaigns will develop soon after the order Is issued to pro- cecd to the deathdealing finish. The allies will virtually give the order by refusing peace, and on them must forever rest the blame for what Is to occur.
 On the sea where England has been thought supreme, the struggle will be waged without regard to any rules of war. England Is to be deprived of food because no ships are going to be allowed to enter her ports.
 All ships of whatever flag. neutral or otherwise, bound for any allied port are to be sunk without warning.

DYE Before You Patch,

Never patch IL garment just before it

it is sewed Oh with are exactly the same
kind Of material as the garment they
will come out of the dye pot different
shades. Here is blue skirt that was
brought to us cream cOlOred. The cloth
had worn through in several places.
and the owner had patched the tiny
holes so painStakingly that the patches
could not he detected in the original
color. but after the dyeing they show
ed up darker blue. The amount of
dye any material will take depends
upon how much cotton. wool or silk it
contains. 1t is so hard to determine
that exactly that any garment that has
to be mended can be matched much
better after dyeing. New York Sun.
