The Crefeld General Anzeiger, in a
recent issue, printed the following as
founding .'next war; statement:
There are more than million war
widows in Germany. They cannot be
allowed to remain widows for two rea-
sons. In the first place, the empire
looks to them to provide an army for
Germany's future defense, and in the
next place, many Of them are attend
ing to the business of their late hus-
bands without possessing the neces-
sary knowledge.
"All the widows must, therefore, get
married at once, and preferably to
wounded or otherwise unfit soldiers.
They may rest assured that the ma
tional committee for the remarriage
of war widows will handle the busf-
ness with the requisite discretion. The
committee will pay special attention
to men in the hospitals, and will in
sert anonymous advertisements in the
papers generally read by war widows
1T may be added that the utfilza'
ton of crippled soldiers and war
stricken women in the interests OF
the empires future wars has the cor

London, Sept. 10AThe Daily Mail,
in an editorial, congratulates the
American intelligence service on "the
second great exploit of this year" and
says:
"A blacker piece of diplomatic dev-
iltry on Germany's part never was
exposed, while on Sweden's part an
offense against neutrality and every
decency of international intercourse,

she is assisting Germany to inflict up

"Such conduct combines maximum
cowardice with maximum treachery,

No ACTION IN

AWAITS WORD
State Department Has Had No
Message From Government
on Point
HONESTY OF SWEDISH
PEOPLE NOT QUESTIONED

Washington, Sept. 10.-The govern.
ment today was awaiting for some in
dication of how the Swedish govern
ment regards the disclosure on the
part taken by its legation in Buenos
Aires in transmitting German legation
dispatches to Berlin.
Neither the Argentine ambassador
nor the Swedish minister here pre-
sented any message from their gov
ernments, and it was indicated that
until one or both had communicated
with the state department, this gov
ernment would take no step toward
the development of what may lead to
serious alteration of Sweden's posi-
ton among the neutral nations.
At the state department today it
was made clear that there was no dis
position to question the good faith
and honesty of the Swedish people.
The distinction between the people
and the government was pointed out.
Whether this government got its dis
patches from it's own agents or one
of the allies was not made public. 1t
was also not made clear whether all
the information now in the possession
of the government was made public.

Milwaukee, Sept. 10.-TOney Forne-

the man shot and killed during an at

Rev. A. Guiliani announced that the

August Marvila, who was shot twice
in the chest, is said to be dying. Two
other Italians and two detectives sut-
fered gunshot wounds, but their con-
dition is not serious. Thirteen for
eigners are under arrest.
There was no disturbance until l
announced that the audience would
sing America" said Rev. Guiliani to-
day.
Some of the men seemed to 60
crazy. They shook their fists at me
and showed their teeth and cursed. 1t
was then that the police told them to
be quiet, and right away the shooting
started. No attempt was made to in
jure me that could see, but no doubt
an attack would have been made if the
police had not interferred. The shoot
ing attracted the attention of the gang

which had been demoralized by "too
much honor system"
The first trouble occurred yesterday
At breakfast about 20 convicts broke
from the line, and Weimand seizing

melee which followed, and of about SO

The great battle, which General Ca
dorna is waging for Mont San Gabri-
ellie is continuing uninterruptedly,. de-
spite inclement weather. The Austri-
ans are being subjected to unrelent-
ing pressure, but by means of heavy
concentration of fresh troops they
have been able to keep the Italians
from achieving the notable success
which completion of the capture of the
mountain would constitute. They, have
captured 145 guns from the Austrians
since the beginning of this offensive.
General Petain's troops last night
clinched the success they won north
east of Verdun on Saturday, when they
pushed their lines ahead materially in
the FOsse and Caurieres wood sector.
The Germans were Obliged to aban-
don their furious assaulting tactics,
probably because Of the heavy losses
they sustained in attacks which left
the French lines unshaken.
Paris characterizes the repulse sus-
tanned by the crown prince here as an
important one," and dwells on the
extremely serious extent OF the casu-
alties inflicted by the French fire.

amsterdam, Sept. 10.-There was a
fresh Outburst of rage against the
United States in Saturdays German
newspapers in connection with Secre-
tary Lansings reported denial Of the
statement that the United States
would not assent to the elimination of
the HohenzeIlern before entering in
to peace negotiations. One paper
carries a headline in large type:
America demands a deposition Of
the Hohenzellerns," which. it follows
with a furious denunciation Of Amer

alluded to as "The climax of the arro-

, London, Sept 10.--Throughout Of
fetal London the belief is held that a
very definite peace offer will come
from Germany before winter, and that
the offer will suggest cessation of hos
tilities on status quo basis.
To Refuse Terms. ~.
Entente statements have fully in
dicated that they will refuse such
terms, and no DOUBT Germany. is
aware OF this. But German leaders
regard status quo offer from the
German side as an indispensable step
in the preparation of German public
opinion for further concessions. A
high official authority gave the AS
sociated Press today the following
statement of the situation in Germany
as regards peace
There is no doubt that the Ger
man government is2anxious to get out
OF the war at the earliest possible mo-
ment on any terms which will insure
them against any revolution at home
and national collapse.

''Since Germany's so.called peace Of

sure of the Entente and the entry of
the United States into the war has
completely changed the situation The
question Is now in fact not what are
the war aims which Germany will i'm
pose before she grants peace, but
what terms she herself would be will

statement of the, great facts in the
