Camp Green is located about mile
east of the city of Charlotte, the govern

five by two and one half miles, the camp

half million dollars had been spent in
this construction work, and owing to the
efficient management of Major Clarence

The climate here is equable and the
temperature on the coldest days seldom

The air is heavily laden with moisture,
which has the effect of making tho cold
more biting than that of our northern
states. Orders we're recently received to
provide floors and side walls for all of
the 1000 tents. Charcoal burners were
issued to all the soldiers which will be
the only means of heating their tents

great warehouses, covering almost an
acre each, erected beside the side tracks

TRUCE FOR RUSSIA,
 NEW GERMAN PLAN

2 Copenhagen (via London), June 1 8 The German Government, which has been endeavoring by means of semi official communications. state merts by the Imperial Chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann- -Hol1weg, concerning peace overtures, telegrams by Field Marshal von Hindenburg to the Coun- ell of Workmen's and Soldiers Depu- ties, Socialist negotiators of the Scheidennann type, and in other ways to come to a separate arrangement for peace or an armistice with, Rus sia, is considering new move, name ly, an offer of an armistice for the period of the elections to the Russian Constitutional Convention.
 The Associated Press has this in- formation from a reliable source. The informant, who has just come from Germany, says that Government agents are desirous of reaching some such arrangement, not only as a com pliment to the Russian Council and to further the growth of pro-German sentiment, but also because Germany desires to see some stable Govern ment established there, with which it would. be possible to enter into ne gotiations.
 He cited one of the best known German Parliamentarians as saying that the present authorities in Rus sia are not .'verhandlungsfaeh J that is, not capable of negotiating and that there is little hope of peace so long as the present conditions in Russia continue.

MESSAGE TO GRIMM TOLD
 HOLLWEG'S PEACE VIEWS


 Stockholm, June 18.-Additional de- tails of the German peace offer to
 Russia are contained in the Social
 Demokrat's translation of the tele- gram said to have been addressed by
 A. Hoffman, member of the Swiss Federal Council to Rubert Grimm, a
 Swiss Socialist, who has been in Rus sia for some time. The newspapers S version of the telegram contains the following:
 h T am convinced that Germany and her allies would Immediately take up
 peace negotiations at the wish of Russia's allies. As to what concerns the German war aim you can read articles in the Norddeutscha Allge-
 meine Zeitung. There. after consulta- ton with Chancellor von Bethma nn- HoElweg, the declaration has been
 made regarding annexation to the es- feet that Germany does not desire any increase in her territory. or any eco lnornic ar nolitica1 exnanzton-n

Grimm passed through Stockholm in the middle of May as the ostensib1e guide of some 250 Russian exiles who were returning home. He spent much time here in conference with Ger mans, Austrians and Bulgarians and endeavored to avoid publicity in re- gard to his efforts. The Associated
 Press correspondent, who since has been endeavoring to learn more about Grinm's errand, found the agents of the Central Powers here eager to pie ture Grimm in the light of bitter opponent of Germany who could not
 be induced to have any dealings with that empire.
 Angelica Bala,banoff, who with Grimm played a prominent part in the Cronstadt rprising,,z was one of the
 members of the party which Grimm
 pilotetd through Stockholm.

The delegates also passed a procla- nation opposing a separate peace and exhorting all Russians Ito rally around the hammer If revolution and increase the energy of the military power for the defense of freedom
 The proclamation cites the receipt. of a wireless telegram from Prince Leopold {Prince Leopold of Bavaria is the commander of the German arm tes on the Russian froat). asserting that the governments of the Central Powers are ready to conclude peace
 with Russia and asking Russia to
 send delegates to confer with them.
 The reply of the council is declara- stion of it's. attitude and Minister of War Kerensky as caused it to be sent to all troops on land and sea, and it has been widely circulated through out the country.
 Prince Leopold says he offers a break swith the Allies,'' reads the proclamation. He says that be- cause he knows an offer of separate peace with Germany will be rejected l by our troops.''
 Discussing the protected truce with l Austria, the delegates declare that l they have not forgotten the Stokhod 1 and continue:
 Leopold has forgotten. The Rus sians know to what places German 1 divisions have been transferred-the Russians hear the roar Of bloody l fighting on the Franco British front know that the wreck of the Allies 1 means the wreck of the free armies of revolutionary Russia-that il means not only new graves of oul brothers. but the wreck of revolution. | ary freedom
 The proclamation declares that Russia will follow its own way to 2 general peace in spite Of provocatory I efforts, and says:

Petrograd (via London), June 1s- The Duma fin secret session has pass ed a resolution for an immediate of- fensive by the Russian troops. ss

Grass on the Lawn.

Grass seeds germinate in from four teen to eighteen days. X quart of seeds is sufficient to cover 800 square feet l5 by 20 feet. Five to six bushels are required per acre.
 Do not sow grass seeds in hot, dry weather. particularly, in July or Au- gust.
 Poa trivalis is good for shady lawns under trees.
 Festuca rubra is most suitable for hard wear and for dry or sandy soils.
 sharp sea sand applied lightly over lawns in the autumn-that is, over lawns on clay CT loam-encourages the growth of fine grasses.
 Lawns that are frequently watered need more fertilizers than those that are not, as the water washes away much plant food.-New York Sun.
