President Anxious to
Stop Food Speculation

Washington. May 16.-Delegations
of labor leaders here for conferences
with the British labor envoys were
told by President Wilson at the
White House yesterday that he con-
sidered thatshnothing would be more
deplorable" than any movement In
the present crisis to set aside tenn
porarily the laws which safeguard
standards of labor.
IL do not doubt said the Presi-
dent, that any body of men repro
senting labor will be willing to make
any sacrifice that is necessary to
carry this contest to a successful
issue, and in this confidence | feel
that it would be inexcusable If we
deprived men and women of such a
spirit of any of the existing safe
guards of the law"
The President mentioned particu-
larly proposals to have state legis-
latures set aside labor standard laws
during the war. He declared he had
been much alarmed" by such sug-
gestions.
In the delegation were about one
hundred fifty labor representatives,
headed by Samuel Gompers and his
associates on the labor committee of
the National Defense Council. After
the visit to the White House they
went into conference with the Brit
ish labor leaders at the American
Federation headquarters, discussing
in detail wartime labor problems.

Remarkable Record
of Kentucky Cow

Dover. KY, May 16.-The Angus
ta Chronicle gave an account of a
remarkable COW. owned by Victor
Thomas, florist, of Boudes Ferry.
This cow was nineteen years of
age, and had made a bid for fame
principally upon the basis of having
given birth to seventeen calls dur
ing her young life. The editor of the
Chronicle challenged any of its
readers to produce better record
made by cow
Nothing daunted. the News ac-
cepts the challenge, and brings forth
Charles Kirk, of Dover, who now
comes and deposes as follows: That
until three years ago he was the
owner of a thoroughbred Jersey
COW. whicl., at the age of nineteen
years and ten months, gave birth to
her nineteenth calf; that at the age
of sixteen years she was producing
forty-two pounds of milk per day,
which tested five per cent. at the
Dover creamery; that after the cow
was twenty-one years of age she
went blind, and was disposed of to
Cincinnati parties.

OFFER OF PEACE is
MADE TO RUSSIA BY
GERMAN CHANCELLOR
Won Bethnann=H Hollweg Refuses to Give Outlines of
Terms on Which War Might End; Declares
U-Boats Are Operating Successfully

stand the passionate interest of the
people in the war aims and peace
conditions. 1 understand the call for
ciearness which to-day is addressed
to me from the right and the left.
But in the discussion of our war aims
the only guiding line for me is the
early and satisfactory conclusion of
the war. Beyond that cannot do or
say anything.
Even to-day 1 see no readiness
for peace on the part of England or
France, nothing OF the abandonment
OF their excessive aims of conquest
and economic destruction. Where
then were the governments who last
winter openly stood up before the
world in order to terminate this in
sane slaughter of peoples? Were
they in London or in Paris? The
most recent utterance which 1 have
heard from London declares that the
war aims which were announced two
years ago remain unaltered.
Offers Russia Peace
"As regards our eastern neighbor,
Russia, l have already recently
spoken. 1t appears as if New Rus
sia had declined for herself these
Russia will or can act in the same
sense on her allies l am unable to
estimate. Doubtless England, with
the assistance of her allies, is en-
ploying all her efforts to keep Russia
harnessed to England's war chariot
and to traverse Russian wishes for
speedy restoration of the world $
peace.
IF, however, Russia wants to pre-
vent further bloodshed and re-
nounces all violent plans of conquest
for herself. if she wishes TO restore
durable relations of peaceful life side
by side with us, then surely ii is a
matter of course that we, as we
share this wish, will not disturb the
permanent relationship in the flu
ture and will not render its develop
ment impossible by demands, which.
indeed, do not accord with the free
dom of nations and would deposit
in the Russian nation the germ of
enmity Cthunderous applause).
Military Position Good
II doubt not that an agreement,
aiming exclusively at a mutual un-
derstanding, could be attained, which
excludes every thought of oppression
and which would leave behind no
sting and no discord.
Our military position has never
been so good since the beginning of
the war. The enemy III the west, de-
spite his terrible losses, cannot
break through. Our U-boats arc
operating with increasing success. l
won't use any fine words about them
the deeds of our U-boat men speak
for themselves. l think even the
neutrals will recognize these"

Berlip, via London, May 16.-In
one of the most vigorous and plain
spoken speeches he has yet made be-
fore the Reichstag since the outbreak
of the war, the Imperial Chancellor
has bluntly refused to enter into q
discussion of Germany's peace aims
as demanded in interpretations by
the Conservatives and Socialists. DR..
Won Bethmann- Hollweg asserted that
these called for the government 5
specific peace program, the an
nouncement of which would at the
present time not only be premature
but which it would be difficult to for
mulate, and also of no practical ser
vice to the nation in the present
situation.
While appreciating the passionate
desire of all classes to know the gov
ernment's views, the Chancellor
plainly declared that he would not
permit himself to be swayed by pres
sure from any source, and that he
or clique. The best interests of the
nation, he believed demanded that
the reticence he had imposed on
himself in the face of continuous
clamor since December, 1915, should
be observed by the national at large,
which continued to rally around its
Emperor, and would also meet the
views of the majority of the mem
bers of the Reichstag.
GeneralitieS Only
'On giving liberty for the free dis
cussion of war aims / have it ex-
pressly declared that the government
could not and would not participate
in the conflict of views" declared
against any positive conclusions
whatever regarding the government
attitude being drawn from the gov
ernment's silence.
I now repeat this protest in the
most conclusive form. What l was
ever able to say about our war aims
l say here in the Reichstag publicly
They were general principles-they
could not be more-but they were
clear enough to exclude identification
such as was attempted with other
programs. These fundamental lines
have been adhered to up to to-day
They found further solemn express
sion in the peace offer made con-
Jointly with our allies of December
II. 1916.
The supposition, which has re-
Gently arisen, that some differences
of opinion existed on the peace ques-
ton between us and our allies be-
longs to the realm of fable. L ex-
pressly affirm this now with GER
