THE MOVEMENT
IS GROWING
DISTINCT AND DECIDED GROW
ING MOVEMENT AMONG PEO-
PIE OF GERMANY REPORTED.
TO SUPPRESS MOVEMENT

A Wide Spread Hunt Has Heen
started BY the Military Officials
for Peace Spies-Orders Issued to
Arrest All Peace Propagandists. !.
by ARTHUR MANN.
COPENHAGEN, May s.-The Ger
man government started peace talk
for its own end, but it is now con-
fronted with distinct and decided
growing movement among its own
people for peace which it has taken
measures to repress.
Private adyices received here from
Germany indicated this as new de-
velopment in the German govern
ment peace plotting. They detailed
an empire widespread hunt for
peace spies.
The hunt has been transferred
from the civilian authorities and
placed in the hands OF the military
government, with rewards offered
for the arrest Of peace propasandists.
The German government is deter
mined. ii there is any peace talk.
that it must be by the government
and not by the German people who
do the talking.
Information received here indi-
Gates widespread movement for
carrying the peace talk movement
to the German people and repressive
measures by the government.
In the meantime, the people of the
German provinces are puzzled to un-
derstand why, II England Is as near
broke and defeated as the govern
ment claims, she Is still making WAR
and not hardening to peace feeiers,
The result has been, according To
adyices received here, u formidable
wave of dissatisfaction against the
German autocracy that Is sweeping
over Germany. There Is absolutely
no evidence, however, that this dis
satisfaction and desire OF the people
for peae Is sufficiently strong to have
serious effect ON the policy of thu
German government or its military
autocracy.

]. F. Skinner

J. F. Skinner of Chicago died
last week, and funeral services
were held at his home at Oak
Park, FL, Wednesday, February
10. He is survived by his wife,
three daughters and his son.
The death of Mr.. Skinner, clos
es the career of a man extreme
ly successful in the financial
walks of life. In the early years
of Mr.. SINNERS life he engaged
in various mercantile pursuits
in Redwood Falls, being at one
time an employe of F. w. Phil
brick and little later a busi-
ness partner of Julius Melges.
But it was not until he became
a part of the great mail order
house of Sears and Roebuck that
he began to amass his large
fortune. Since his connection
with that firm his success was
phenomenal until forced by bad
health to give up his work. Mr..
! Skinner was about fifty-three
years of age.
