DISCUSSION OF PEACE
IS RAGING IN GERMANY
UnreStrained Talk Is Taken as
Admission of Failure in
Russia

LONDON. Sept. 1s.-England sees in
the recrudescence of German peace feel
ers admission of a Russian not that
failed. Germany now hopes to make
peace stick before the Russian army,
reorganized. rehabilitated and modern
lied by American aid. can get into ac-
ton. making complete the Gordon of the
allies about her strongholds.
The German peace discussion Is rag
ing unhampered by censorship in the
German press. No doubt was expressed
here that the greater part Of the edi-
torials and review articles are inspired.
An observer here read the signs to-
day. Germany now sees herself baked
in Russia She fomented mutiny in
the ranks OF General Brusiloffs SOL
diers when they began making alarm
ing inroads against the Teutonio Lem
berg line. She started what was eN-
tensiveiy advertised as a tremendous
land and sea offensive against Riga
and Petrograd. She took advantage OF
General Korniloffs revolt to press her
agents in the Russian army to redou-
bled activity.
Russia survived all these. Where
Germany had hoped to frighten Russia
into a separate peace, the Teutontc
leaders probably now see they have
stung the new democracy into action.

My, My, General! Don't
You Know Old Georgia
Is a Regular Sahara?

Provost Marshal General Crowder
wants "all the saloons in Georgia to
be closed while the second increment
OF the national army is being transport
cd to Camp Gordon.
That's exactly what he requests.
He doesn't demand II, Of course. but
he earnestly suggests in a telegram
to Governor Dorsey that such steps be
taken.
The message doubtless is a circular
telegram that is being sent to the ex>
ecutives of all states. Certainly the
opinion does not prevail that General
Crowder thinks there are open saloons
in Georgia. However, the telegram was
received. as follows:
"A large per cent of your population
is about TO leave home for the uncer-
families of a soldiers life. While not
an occasion for sorrow, IL is a day for
solemnity. 1t is especially Inappropriate
that IT be married by the untoward
events which drunkenness brings in Its
train.
Therefore, 1 earnestly suggest that
you consider the advisability Of meas
ures looking to the closing Of saloons
during such hours preceding entrain-
ment on the next and subsequent mobi-
lization days as may seem proper to
you"
As yet Governor Dorsey had not told
General Crowder just what steps will
be taken.

TROUBLE FOR
SWEDEN IS EXPECTED
Secretary Lansing Probably
Will Demand Another State
ment From Stockholm

STOCKHOLM, Sept 19.-It is gener-
ally believed here that the trou-
bles of the Swedish government
in connection with the German
kilograms forwarded from Buenos
Aires through the Swedish legation are
by no means over The question OF
the hour is whether the United States
will rest satisfied with the tone OF the
Swedish communication issued last
Saturday. 1t would surprise no one
here Il Secretary Lansing were to call
for a clear and unequIvocal statement
to the effect that the forwarding OF
American communications in language
open to the Swedish authorities and
with the knowledge and consent Of tho
governments concerned was in no wise
comparable to the services rendered to
Germany by Sweden.
The wording of the two Swedish COM
munications. it is pointed out in polit-
zeal circles, unfortunately left the
way open to Germany and Germany's
friends here and in other non-belliger-
ent countries to bring charges upon the
old adages about inhabitants of glass
houses and the respective blackness Of
pots and kettles
The entente ministers and Ira Nelson
Morris, the American minister to Swe-

ferences on Monday afternoon when, it

dishonorably discharged from the army

Few details of the charges against the

learned that Mohnhaupt is charged
with crimes similar to those which have
caused such a stir between the United
States and Sweden, in that 1T is alleged

Pope Is Expecting War
Two or Three Years More

WASHINGTON, Sejt. 1s.-Pope Bone
dict has made his last peace profrer,
according TO official cables received
here today. The holy see believes the
war must go on at least two or three
years more-until the full effect OF
Americas vast power has been felt and
either victory or hopeless deadlock
in the great struggle reached.
1t is stated on the highest authority
that the vatican realizes peace or fur
Their negotiations at present impossible.
President Wilson's rejection of the
pope's last peace offer-which rejection
was heartily approved by the allies
has convinced the vatican the allies
want no peace which will leave the cen
trail powers under their present rulers.
No peace is possible-as was announced
semi-officially recent-which is based
on mutual concessions as suggested by
the pope.
It is realized by the vatican that
the allies. with Americas vast re-
sources now thrown into the balance,
now have the upper hand and can
wiring from the central powers a peace
acceptable TO the democracies. Any
further proffers from the pope would
be foredoomed to failure-even as the
last vast is admitted.

This, the French government has told
America, will strengthen the morale or

The work will cost between $780,

Red Cross Commissioner Grayson NJ.
P Murphy has cabled from the front
that there are plenty of women from
American homes now at the front to
get the work started and that as he
needs more of them he will cable his
call for volunteers.
So great has been the actual fighting
strain on the French people that they
have had neither time nor money to
make the path pleasant for its battling

tions in the rear to the mud and blood
of the front-line defense.
The men come out of the trenches
now filthy, weary, sometimes covered
with vermin. They have no hot food
when they get to the rear. Not even
place to take a bath, let alone place
to lie down and sleep at night. If
they have to wait at a station over
night, they sleep on the platform, IN
adjoining fields or anyplace they can
find.
The Red Cross and it's American
women volunteers are establishing:
First, a series of canteen kitchens
directly behind the lines, from which
returning French troops will receive
hot soup in thermos bottles and per-
haps other hot food.
Second, and further back, lighthouses
where the men can go and get cleaned
up and into fresh clothing.
Third and still further back, dormt-
tories where the men can get good
nights rest before starting the long
journey to home or the extreme rear
for their furlough.

ing this work, said in part:
"Great assistance can be given the
French army by cooperating in the or
ganization of canteens, resting and
sleeping quarters for men passing 70

IN THE SOUTHERN STATES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-The war
department is now seeking a site in the
southern portion of the country for an
additional infantry and machine gun fir
ing school where adequate ranges can
be laid out for rifle and machine gun
practice work Boards of officers are
looking over various proposed sites in
Texas and elsewhere, but no recommen-
dations have yet been received.
The new range will require between
fifteen and twenty square miles of un-
inhabited territory, broken into level
lands and also into hill country so that
battle conditions of all kinds can be
reproduced for the target practice
work. There must be room for a large
cantonment at which the troops can
be housed; good rail facilities; an ad-
jacent city or town, and an adequate
supply of good water for camp pur-
poses.
