WILL serve AS NURSE
IN tribute TO HER SON
Mrs. Flora F. Kalk, Mother Of
U-Boat Victim, Is Going
to France.

Declaring that there is nothing left
for me to do at home and I feel that
in nursing some poor American boy
that win be paying the greatest pos
sible tribute to my own dear one.
Mrs Flora F. Kalk. mother Of Lieut..
Stanton F. Kalk. yesterday announced,
her intention to go TO France as
nurse IN hospital near the firing line.
Mrs. Kalk's son. Lieut.. Kalk. lost his
life when the Jacob Jones. an Ameri-
can destroyer. was torpedoed by Ger
man submarine. Mrs. Kalk was in
Omaha when she received the news
that the Jacob Jones had gone down.
She came TO Washington last week and
talked with the Secretary of the Navy
Thursday, but on account Of the meager
news about the disaster Mr.. Daniels
could give her no additional details
about the young man who lost his life.
Once Page in the Senate.
Lieut.. Kalk was well known in
Washington. Though his home was in
Omaha, Neb., he was a page In the
Senate from 1905 TO 1910. His most
priced possession, his mother said. was
an autographed photograph Of Vice
President Marshall
That Lieut. kalk died in the effort to
save others is attested by an unoficial
statement that 1t was he who spied the
unconscious form of Lieutenant Com
mander Bagley. saved his superior officer
and died from exposure shortly after:
Stanton was never one to nlnd coid
weather and I cannot believe that such
thing as immersion even in the waters
of the North sea during winter could
have brought about his death, sald MIS-
Kalk to q Star reporter.

she derived little nourishment. Too,
she became so rundown, weak and
tired out that she could hardly get

was attacked by sinking spells and,
at her advanced age-72 years-we
had about given up in despair, for we
had tried everything. but nothing did
her any good

MOSCOW, Aug. 29.-Former Com manderin-Chi of the Russian ar. mics, General Alexieff, in speech today before the National Conference, drew the contrast between the army of the old regime, poorly equipped with mechanical resources but strong in warlike spirit. and the present army, well supplied with food and arms but completely poisoned and enfeebled by uninterpreted and ill., applied doctrines which has split the army into almost an irreconcibable mass Camp soldiers and officers are on opposite sides and it will be impossible to continue the war to a victorious conclusion. said the gen eral unless strong efforts be made by the Provisional Government to the troops themselves to reanimate and regenerate the Russian army.

President Wilson Settles Once For all Times a Question Regarding
 Peace Terms

Unstable Government of Germany Cannot Make TermS-RequeSt is
 Made to Huns

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Presi- dent Wilson, for the United States, has rejected the Pope's peace pro- of dealing with the present Ger posals finally settling the question man rulers, unconquered or un- curbed at home.
 The President makes it clear that lasting and durable peace is negotiable only by a complete un- derstanding with the German people and not alone on the unstable guar antees of the present existing gov- ernment.
 The reply of President Wilson has been transmitted through the British foreign office, and responds with delicacy and respect to the proposals of the Pope.
 The note indicates that the Am- erican government intends no post bellum reprisals on the German peo- pie but desires, in the inferests Of world peace, that the Germans be allowed to share in the information al economic opportunities if they will accept equality and not seek domination. ya
 The note, with unequivocal de- nunciation of the German military autocracy, is believed to reflect ac- curately the attitude of the Allied governments. The general tenor of the note was anticipated by the diplomats but they were sur prised by the virtual appeal to the German people to strive for eman- cipation from military control and become fitted to deal with the world democracy.

MOSCOW, Aug. 29.-The railroad representatives today told the Ma. tional conference that transportation was utterly disorganized and would cease completely by November. The consequences would be terrible at home and on the front as the re suit.
 Speakers said that the army might turn on the country and commit unexampled excesses. The extreme demands of the railway workers played a great part in the disor- ganization, continued the speakers.
 Several speakers suggested that Americans, who know railroading and who are in Russia be given full charge of the transportation ia cilities, but first. the government must equip the railroads with men and pay them satisfying wages.
