New York, Feb. 26. Shippings,
equipments, sugars and some of the
less prominent specialties were higher
by material fractions to point at the
opening of to-day's market, Reading
also showing decided strength. There
were offsetting declines in Bethlehem
Steel, General Motors, Mexican Petro-
leum, American Tobacco and Indus
trial Alcohol, the latter falling three
points. Minor rails also were inclin-
ed to yield. The trading was ex-
tremely light, announcement of the
Presidents intention to address Con-
gress causing general restraint.
Dealings contracted further on the
news from Washington and for a brief
time prices assumed a more uncertain
tone, but improved again on the steady
accumulation of United States Steel
which advanced / 3-S points with as
much for coppers and to "a for
shippings. Equipments also were in
better demand. Motors were back
ward, although General Motors made
substantial recovery, but rails con-
tinued to lag. Bonds were irregular.

said.
The idea of establishing libraries
for our American soldiers is admir-
able. and / am glad that the work
of initiating and carrying on the
movement has government sanction.
The men should not only have books

the distinguished Librarians who are
numbered among the committee
are a guaranty Of wise selection.
"It occurs 70 me that access TO
books that represent the American
ideal. which is also the ideal OF mer
everywhere who love liberty, would
be a great stimulus to the men who
are going TO Europe TO fight for
democracy. There are hundreds OF
books that are full OF the spirit OF
America. and these preferably
should be available for our soldiers

Sprout New Crop
of Peace Rumors
in Berlin Press

LONDON. Sept 19.-The crop
OF so-called peace rumOrs that the
German censor is permitting TO
sprout in leading German news
papers. convinces the London press
and public that Berlin is prepar-
ing some opinion for another adroit
peace maneuver which probably
viii take definite shape before the
snow flies.
First came the alleged British
peace offer which, Notwithstanding
Official denial is still being com
mented upon excitedly in Germany.
Now much fuel has been ADDED 10
the agitation by the report that
the German government has aban-
iored claims OF supremacy and
control over the territory and popu-
Iation of Belgium. In addition
there are all sorts OF rumOrs re-
garding the German answer TO the
pope.
A strange thing about the whole
affair is that the German censor
appears 10 be permitting the news
papers 10 discuss the matter free
~. but so far as is known none of
the discussions is founded on more
substantial authority than the in
definite I've understand" or ''wc
have received information. The
fact remains, however that the

German government as represented
by the censor. does not object to
these statements
The Westminster Gazette quotes
the Berlin correspondent Of the
Koeinische Nolks Zeitung as saying
that from an official source there
is no truth in the report that Ger
many intends 10 declare an aban-
donment of her claims or Bel
GUM. The Gazette points out that
the message is not necessarily an
official denial that Germany mas
decided to renounce all claims on
Belgium.
The Evening standard SAYS
The German censor Is permit
ting German papers TO publish re-
ports that Germany is 10 climb
down and renounce any claim T..
supremacy over Belgium"
The Pail Mall Gazette adds.
Another step forward mas beer
taken in the carefully engineered
peace campaign in Germany"
The star says II is significant that
the German censor is permitting
such publication adding
1t would certainly be an i'm
portant step in the direction o.
peace, but does not in itself insure
the success of the negotiations. and
as the press is silent about similar
'rumOrs' about the future of Al
sace-Lorraine. the Trentino AMI
Serbia il would be folly 20 build
any high hOpes-there is no sign
that the rulers Of Germany and
