RUTHLESS ELEMENT WORKING

ERZeERGER HELD TOOL,

Michaelis' Peace Interview Made DC.
casion For Bitter Assault On Eng
land and France-Negotiator
Talks For "Peace BY
Understandings"

London, July 31.-Germany's Junk
ers are working hard with the Ger
man people to justify militarism. An
effort by the militarists to delude the
public into belief that Germany is be.
set by rapacious foes who started the
war to dismember Germany is what
London sees behind the peace inter-
view" granted by Chancellor Michaelis
of Germany and Foreign Minister
Czernin of Austria. The reported pres
ence in Switzerland of Matthias Err
berger, the political leader recently
head of the reichstag coalition, pre-
sumably as a peace negotiator, was re-
garded as proof that the militarists
deliberately staged the recent crisis"
in the parliament and that Erzberger
was merely a tool of those interests.
Interview Made Assault on England.
Michaelis' peace interview was
rather ar assault on England and
France. He charged the Allies with
secret agreements aiming at "enslave-
ment of Germany" He was particu-
larly bitter in responding to Sir Ed
ward Carson's suggestion that the first
step toward peace would be for Ger
many to announce her willingness to
surrender occupied territory.
Count Czernin's statement was along
the usual Germanic lines, asserting
complete agreement between Germany
and Austria-Hungary and reiterating
the old plea that Germany's enemies
were responsible for continuation of
the war.
"Peace BY Understandings"
OF curious collateral interest in the
peace talk, was an interview attEibut-
ed to DR.. Erzberger at Zurich, in which
he declared if he could talk with Pre-
mier Lloyd George or Foreign Minis
ter Balfour a few hours, an under
standing" which would permit peace
negotiations would result.

SOUGHT WOMAN,
SHOOTS BUTLER
Latter Barred Way to Mrs.
Slater, Rich Boston
Philanthropist
PRISONER IS A NEW
YORK SOCIALIST
Says He Intended to Kill
Mill Owner-Butlers
Wounds Serious

Boston, Nov. l2--Emil Knabe, butler
for Mrs, Horatio N. Slater, philanthrop'
list and wealthy mill owner, was shot
and probably fatally wounded late Sat.
urday when he blocked the passage Of
man who had forced his way into the
house at Boston and demanded to see
Mrs. Slater. Driven from the house
when the cries of the servants brought a
number of passersby to their aid, the
man fled up Beacon street in the Back
Bay district and was finally overpowered
by two policemen after putting up hard
fight. He gave his name as Harry Bass
and said he lived at 46l West 10th
street, New York.
The police say the man told them that
he was Russian Socialist and that after
reading great deal about Mrs. Slater's
wealth he had come to Boston to shoot
her. Many pamphlets of radical nature
were found in his pockets.
From stories told by the servants in
the house the police learned that Bass
entered by a rear door frequently used
by applicants for Mrs. Skaters charity,
and never securely fastened. Asking a
maid where Mrs. Slater was, he brushed
by her on his way upstairs in the direc-
ton which she had pointed
The maid, following, noticed that the
stranger carried revolver behind him.
When the butler came out on the upper
landing the maid signalled him that the
stranger should be stopped and knabe
asked the man what he wanted Again
Bass demanded TO see Mrs. Slater and
threatened to shoot the butler if he did
not let him by, but Knabe remained firm
Then, according to the maid, Bass ex
claimed. This man is bothering me,
and shot the butler in the abdomen.
Knabe was removed to the City hos
pital where an operation was performed.
II was said his condition was serious.
Bass was held on charge of assault
with loaded revolver.

CURB ON ELECTRIC SIGNS.
They May Not Be Illuminated After /,
p M

| Washington, d. c., Nov. l2.-The gov
ernment's first step toward eliminating
non essential industries to save coal was
made last night in an order by the fuel
administration limiting the Use of fuel
for electric display advertising to the
hours between 7:45 and eleven o'clock
lp. IN. A score of other industries will
be affected BY similar orders that will
be issued as soon as complete classif
cation is made.
Faced by the realization that coal pro-
duction cannot keep pace with the pres
ent rate of consumption the fuel admin
istration is ready if necessary to guaran-
tee supplies only for domestic users and
industries either necessary in the con-
duct of the war or vital to the public
II is estimated that the limiting of
electric advertising to two and quar-.
ter hours each night will save 80 per cent
of the fuel now used in maintaining the
signs that light Broadway in New York
and hundreds of lesser thoroughfares
in towns throughout the country. In
statement accompanying yesterdays or
der the intimation is carried that 1t may
become necessary to eliminate electric
signs altogether.
Exception was made in the order for
signs maintained by small merchants for
the purpose of directing the public to
their place of business. Ii these are
not Of an unreasonable size they will be
permitted to continue lighted while the
are open for business, but
must be dark with the closing of the
shops.
Experts say that about 100000 tons
of coal are used annually for the oper
alton of display signs. This amount. it
is estimated would keep 100000 families |
warm during the winter months.
Although the fuel administration is
anxious to avoid interference with le
gitimate business just as far as possible.
said the statement accompanying the or
der. 1T is determined that the indus
tries essential to the war and the domes- /
lie consumers of the country shall be pro,
.ected"
A committee OF gas and electric serv
&c companies co-operated with the fuel
administration in framing the order and
gave full approval to its provisions.

ment:
The plan to get 100000 boys to give a

among the 100000 prisoners of war is
splendid The boy who earns and gives

fits Of the association at the disposal of
one American soldier for a year. The
same sum will bring to some lonely and
suffering military prisoner either food
packets, or medicines, or books and pa
pers, or the many other advantages
which come from planting an association
building in the prison camp. The first
suggestion was to call upon the American
boys to give their money for food parcels
only. The new plan is better because 1t
gives the boys a chance to choose. Some
will want TO give this money to help one
of the soldiers of their own country;
others will want TO devote it TO a prison

dications are, the food administrator be-
licves, that the food situation, particular
~ in England, France and Italy, will
force the United States to use its ships
to send food instead of soldiers.
Dr. AlonEo e. Taylor, the food ad-

American mission, has been instructed
TO gather information on the allies food
needs at the earliest possible time and
forward it here so that the war and navy

make arrangements in advance, if it APP
pears there can be no surplus of tonnage
for transportation of the first increment

Plans for the second draft would be
affected by the postponement of the re-

greater than their present assignments, it
would not be necessary to delay the draft
until the camps are actually emptied.
