AMSTERDAM, Sept. Il. At the
last minute Germany decided to elimi-
nate most of her terms in her reply
to the peace proposal of the Pope and
to make her answer general in character.
The Berlin Tageblatt 5 Vienna cores
pondent wired that the German and
Austrian replies were to have been
handed Saturday to the representatives
of the Holy See.
These answers, which each govern
ment has drawn M for itself aekpewl-
edge tile Pope's proposal hiiirmativelv
and fall in with his general views for
bringing about and insuring lasting
peace, but having regard to the attitude
OF the entente powers and the United
States, they enter into no detailed dis
cussion of peace conditions.
| The Amsterdam Tvd S correspondent
| in Germany writes:

favorable effect upon peace feeling i'll

note bears traces of this"
The correspondent says the idea OF

SUPREMACY Of THE WORLD

States. Imports of s766,000,000 from
North America during the fiscal year
1917 were greater by Sl56 600, 900 than
the imports from Europe. The in
crease in purchases from North Amer
lean countries was due largely to the
greater value of sugar purchased from
Cuba. Imports from South America
and Asia showed a gain of 100 per
cent over 1914.
In order to retain the advantages
gained by aggressive business meth
DDS and honest dealings. the bureau
is engaged in efforts to furnish reliable
data on all commercial subjects and
also to aid American commercial &C
tivity in every foreign field. The
corps of special agents employed to
investigate specialized lines in vari-
Gus countries has been doubled and
now numbers &c. Their activities have
extended into South Africa, New Zea-
land, Australia and Oriental countries.
Much information has been gathered
and assorted BY the bureau for the
benefit of American manufacturers. A
separate division for handling far east
ern affairs has been organized, TO pro
mote commerce with nations there
rs the Latin-American division has
stimulated trade with American re-
publics.
