German Paper Declares
Sympathy With Desire
For Peace Must Disappear
By Associated Press

Amsterdam, Aug. 16.-The Kruz
Zeltling, of Berlin, a copy of which
has been received here says sympathy
with the Pope's wish for peace must
disappear when 1t is seen that he has
united himself with such conditions
as restorations and no indemnities.
The Berlin Tagelische Rundschau.
considers that the nature of the peace
outlined by the Pope must compel the
central powers to refuse the office
of the pontiff. This newspaper says
1t fears the affair will have an un-
happy. influence not only in Austria
but among the Catholics in Germany.
The Kolnische Zeitung refrains from
full comment until the full text of the
ropes note Is obtained. Nevertheless
1t considers the proposal to enter into
negotiations on the basis of the pom
tiff's program should not be rejected.
This newspaper asserts that it is not
aware of the German governments
attitude. but 1T believes logic pre-
scribes that the government, in con-
formity with its previous attitude,
should follow the path indicated by
the pontiff.
The German people and govern
ment have the will and courage for
peace" says the Kolnische Zeitung.
The. entente people also earnestly de-
sire peace but the enemy governments
are dominated by the fear of peace, as
is proved by their refusal to front
passports to their nationals to at
tend the Stockholm conference, The
Pope's proposal will thus be another
test of which side cherishes sincere
desire for peace"
The Cologne Volkszeitung also
awaits the text of the proposal, but
expresses the hope that. notwith-
standing all obstacles. the road to the
reconciliation of the nations may be
paved by the Pope's appeal.

Record Potato Crop
Expected This Year

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE larg-
est potato crop ever produced in this
country is the promise of the month
ly crop report just issued. Leon M.
Estabrook, chief of the Bureau of

Department of Agriculture, stated
this morning that the average pro-
duction for the previous Ave years
(1911-1915) was 368. 200, 900 bushels.
which represents fair, crop. This
year the indications are that there
will be q crop of 467,000,000 BUSH
els, which is 100.000,00O above the
average.
This is equal to one bushel extra
for every man, woman and child in
the country.
In order to avoid waste. officials
of the Department of Agriculture
suggest two ways of taking care of
this large increase:
First, all housewives are urged to
use potatoes as far as possible as a
substitute for breadstuffs.
Second, to preserve the potatoes
for winter use by home storage.
These measures, 1t is stated, will
not onty use the potatoes to advan-
tage. but will save wheat.

An
Ice Starved
Refrigerator

like anything else that is underfed, is
always inefficient, and frequently
unsafe.
Keep the ice compartment we'll filled with
ice.
It is false economy to buy piece of ice
that will not last over the "a hours
Should the refrigerator get warm, because the
quantity of ice has been greatly reduced-it takes
considerable portion of the next delivery to again
reduce temperatures.
The amount of foodstuffs you will loose on ac-
count of not keeping the ice chamber well filled will
frequently amount to more than the original cost
of the ice.
Remember the more Alspure Ice you buy the
less you will eventually use.
