very interesting letter from Jack Ret

many OF the ''Y" members when he

how cleverly he entertained the guests
at one OF our membership banquets.

LONDON SEES PEACE
TERMS FROM KAISER
Belief that Teutons VIII Soon
Make Definite Offer.

London, Sept. Throughout Off
cial London the belief is held that a
very definite peace offer will come
from Germany before winter and that
the offer will suggest immediate ces-
sation of hostilities on a status quo
basis
Entente statesmen have fully indi-
Gated that they will refuse such terms,
and no doubt Germany is aware of
this. But German leaders regard a
status quo offer from the German side
as an indispensable step in the
preparation of German public opinion
for further concessions. A high Off
cial authority gave the following
statement of the situation in Germany
as regards peace:
There is no doubt that the German
the war at the earliest possible mo-
ment On any terms which will insure
them against revolution at home and
national collapse,
uC C1I1y I'll LuC OIlLCu t0LdLCO anu
many of the South American republics
has put economic matters into the
foreground. The government must OBJ
viously view with extreme apprehen-
sion the situation at home in the
months Immediately succeeding the
declaration of peace. The physical ex-
haustiOn of the people and of the
country, combined with the want of
food, which can not be Immediately
remedied, and the want Of raw ma.
terial for starting manufactures, will
create a most serious situation. If
when the troops come back from the
front it is not possible Immediately
to start again the industrial life of the
country and provide food and work,
there will almost inevitably be very
dangerous revolutionary movement"

LICENSE ELEVATORS;
FLOUR TO DROP SOON
Storage Of Wheat and Rye Reg
uIdted as War Measure.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE food ad
ministration has hit its stride. Predic-
tons were made, as the licensing of
grain elevators became necessary,
that flour prices soon would tumble.
Beginning Monday, all elevators can
operate only under license issued by
the food administration. The terms OF
these licenses are:
Such forms of reports as the food
administrator may require. That trade
practices be fair and reasonable. That
facilities for storage be not granted
to others than the food administration
or it's agents for period of longer
than thirty days, in respect to wheat
and rye.
BY virtue Of these regulations it
was predicted at the Offices of the
food administration that the price of
floor would drop So a barrel by Oc-
tober 1.

Hindenburg and Ludendorff are the
two master-minds Of the German mill

credited Ludendorff, the silent one,
with being the real brains of the
combination. Hindenburg has never

Since the beginning of the battle

Udine, Italy, Sept 1.-THE fight
against the heights northeast of Cor
liza continues night and day during
good and bad weather. The continu-
Gus contest seems to the observer to
be animated by superhuman force,
the Italians and the Austrians almost
constantly engaging in hand-to-hand
encounters.
A strange situation is brought about
by the two forces, virtually equal in
numbers, strength and determination,
struggling for supremacy in a clrcum-
scribed area where is is impossible for
either side to employ more men Or ar-
tillery.
Gaps in the ranks are instantly fill

main so balanced that victory appart
emily is impossible to either side.
The fierceness of the struggle is

five times.
Teuton Losses $4,000.
The Italians assert that between

government states that the Italian

WIPE OUT I.W,W
ORGANIZATION
Government
German Influence and Money.
100000 SPENT IN A YEAR

Stamp Out Traitorous Order, Even
It Military Action Is Necessary.
Federal Grand Jury to Slit Evidence
Gathered All Over U. S.
Washington, Sept 1.-THE govern
ment of the United States, aroused by
the rapid and alarming increase in the
membership Of the I. w. W., plans to
stamp out the organization complete
ly, and action of military nature
may be taken to do it, according to a
prominent federal official in a state
ment.
With this came the startling dis.
covery that the local Office of the or
ganization had received and spent
100000 during the last year. 1t has
been declared that evidence that Ger
many has furnished vast funds was
turned up by government detectives.
The Industrial Workers of the
World have increased in number over
1000 per cent in the last three years,
this official declared, and if let alone
might become big enough to cause
serious trouble for the government
ut was this unnatural increase that
first led to the raids he said. There
are about 10000 of these men at pres
ent. Most of them joined only after
the war, which is significant"
100000 Spent.
The government in it's recent raid
here learned that the Chicago office
has received and expended over $780,
900. These figures do not include the
month of August, the most active peri
Cd of the organizations existence. The
records Of this month have not yet
been checked up.
The source of this money is known:
the records seized in recent raids pur-
port to show how and when and for
what it was expended.
These records of expenditures were
to be placed before the federal grand
jury, it is said, together with other
documents which, officials say, show
plots for fomenting strikes in mills
and mines, wrecking foundries, burn
ing grain fields, destroying orchards
and inficting other "frightfulness" on
the nations industries and resources.
Evidence Before Jury.
The federal grand jury is to review
the evidence gathered in the raids all
over the United States, and blanket
indictments will be returned against
I. w. WIS and Socialists. Well-known
men will be included in these indict-
ments, it is predicted.
Among the other exhibits which will
be shown the jurors is peck of high
explosive dust taken in a raid on the
I. W. w. Offices in Cleveland and a
bomb found in an I. w. w. Office in
Detroit.
Meantime the Socialist organ, "The
American Socialist" and the I. w.
WIS paper, Solidarity, are still sup
pressed.

Washington, Sept. 11.-One of the
first effects of the disclosure of the

Official figures show that exports of
American food to Sweden, running at
the rate of $14,000,000 a year in peace
times, jumped to $8O,0OO,0OO the first
year of the war, and since the begin
ming of the British blockade have
gradually decreased from the high
figure although they still are three
times above the peace basis.

The object of this war is to deliver
the free peoples of this world from
the menace and the actual power of
a vast military establishment, con-
trolled by an irresponsible gov
eminent, which, having secretly
planned to dominate the world, pro-
ceeded to carry the plan out without
regard either to the sacred obliga-
tons of treaty or the long estab-
lished practices and long cherished
principles of international action and

no barrier either of law or of mercy;

River Relieves Rail Traffic

The district of Congressman Rob
ert NJ. Switzer of Ohio, has a longer
water frontage on the Ohio River than
any other district in the State, and
whenever a river and harbor bill is
before the House, Mr.. Switzer is al
ways on hand to guard the interests
Of his constituents and give his fellow
members the benefit of his thorough
knowledge of the commerce Of the
river, the needed improvements, and
the work that has been done in the
past. He has made a close study Of
the commercial history Of the Ohio,
and concludes that to carry the pres
ent annual river tonnage of 100000
tons on the railroads it would take
about twenty 30-car freight trains a
day. Of course, in the present con-
gested condition of the roads, that is
and Mr.. Switzer thinks he
has sufficient answer to opponents
of adequate appropriations for the
river.

Some Contrast

The late j. p. Morgan once testified
before Committee Of Congress that
he had frequently loaned million dol
lars to a man upon no further security
than his character. That seems to be
the manner in which McAdoo has
loaned hundreds of millions to the
provisional government of Russia,
taking the note of hand of the Rus
sian representatives in this country,
to whom no authority of the Duma or
other repository Of real power has
been voted. The difference between
Mr.. McAdoo and Mr.. Morgan is that
the latter loaned his own money, while
the former loans the money of the
American people. In addition, Mr.,
Morgan's judgment of men was ex-
ceptionally keen, whereas Mr.. McAdoo
is not so noted in that regard. 1t is
possible that some men in New York,
who have known both Morgan and Nc
Adoo, might find other points of diff
ferentation between the two.
