NOTE REGARDED AS SETTLING
QUESTION OF PEACE PARLEYS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-President
Wilson's note rejecting the pope's
peace proposals was regarded here to-
day as final settling the question of
dealing with present German rulers
unconquered or uncurbed at home.
The President makes it clear that a
lasting and durable peace can be ne
gotiated only on a complete under
standing with the German people and
not on unstable guarantees of the ex-
listing German government.
The note indicates that the Ameri-
can government does not intend post
bellum reprisals on the German people
but desires, in the interests of world
peace, that they be allowed to share
in international economic opportun-
tiles ''if they will accept equally and
not seek domination"
The note, with its unequivocal de-
nuciation of German military auto
czacy, is believed to reflect accurately

CHANCELLOR IS
ATTACK VICTIM

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 29.-Attacks
upon Imperial Chancellor Michaelis
continue and Professor Hans Del
brueck now asks the chancellor an en-
barrassing question concerning peace
In the Prussian year book Prof. Del
brueck inquiries of DIR. Michaelis why,
if he really accepts the Reichstag
resolutions as the basis of his policy
he neglects to answer the inquiry
made on July 26 in the English house
of commons by former Premier AS
quith regarding Germany's readiness
to evacuate and restore Belgium.
Professor Delbrueck, who openly
questions the good faith of the chan
cellor in processing to agree with the
terms Of the resolution, asks whether
his silence in the face of Mr. Asquith's
summons does not show that those are
right who insist that DR.. Michaelis
takes another standpoint from that
contained in the resolution.

Error in Affidavit
Might Have Forced
Lohse Into Trenches

A mistake in filling out his claim
for discharge from military service
might have caused Chester G. Lohse
2S years old, us South ] street, to be
sent to war.
Lohse passed the physical examina.
ton Tuesday and Wednesday filed
claim for discharge on the grounds
that his wife and three-year-old child
are dependent upon him for support.
His affidavit stated that his wife had
an income of 5000 yearly"
When asked by Sheriff Carr If that
was correct he said that 5000 was
what he earned annually. The affida-
Wit was hurriedly changed by Lohse
when he saw the mistake and he
breathed a sigh of relief
Men should be careful In making
their affidavits," Sheriff Carr said.
"Such a mistake as Lohse made would
have sent him to war and he would
have had no recourse"

Moscow Conference

AMSTERDAM. Aug. 29.-German
newspapers are not disposed favorably
toward the Moscow conference
The Cologne Gazette describes it as
the comedy of Moscow adding that
1t is intended to excite the Russian
people to further mad sacrifices.
The Kreuzzeitung says: Premier
Kerensky's speech proves that the
Russian government is acting auto

WHEAT BOARD
STILL MEETING

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. The
wheat fair price committee was still
in session at noon today determining
the price for the 1917 crop. There was
no indication of when the price would
be announced.
Last nights meeting was adjourned
after several votes were taken with
out disposing of the question
There had been a prior agreement
that a three fourth vote would be
necessary to determine the price.
Failure to reach a conclusion is be-
lieved to indicate that there are strong
differences of opinion regarding what
constitutes a fair valuation on the
crop.
The basic pricec fixed will be for
No. l, northern wheat, or its equiva-
lent. Scales for the other grades will
be worked out within the next few
days by the. food. ndminIstraton

The general tenor of the communica-

mats were surprised to find in it a vir-
tual appeal to the German people to
strive for emancipation from military
control and become fitted to deal with
world democracy.
Among other objections to prema-
ture peace the note indicates that it
would result in the abandonment of
new born Russia to the intrigue, the
manifold, subtle interference and the
certain counter revolution which
would be attempted by all the mailing
