full realization of this situation, which will form a sinister background for consideration of whatever renunci- alton proposals the imperial chancellor
 may make, adds a new force to the re- peated declarations of allied statesmen that the German peace maneuvers are in reality war moves and that prema- ture truce only would give Germany a resting period in which to further PrussianiZe and prepare for greater world war the territory to the south
 east which she has conquered under the guise of a friendly alliance
 Although officials have refrained from definite public expressions of what the United States might demand as a peace guarantee, these possibilities recall with recurring emphasis Pres ident Wilson's declaration that Amer ica might fight until the world is made safe for democracy"
 They bring into relief Foreign Min ister Balfours warning that hard fight ing still must win the war, the con- viction of the American army general staff that the country must prepare for at least three years of war, and the 1 fact that predictions of an early peace have been discredited as visionary in virtually every allied capital.
 ! How minutely defined is the German ! plan and how accurately it is being carried out have become fully apparent only with the opening up. during the
 last few weeks, of several new avenues of information. The return of Amer
 ican diplomatic agents from the central | empires the visit of the British and French war missions, detailed confiden-
 tial reports of the recent frank express sions in the reichstag and in the Ger
 man press and the deductions of alert j American agents abroad watching the newest peace moves, have supplied the explanation of more than one hitherto obscured feature of the German policy. l In her southeastern conquestS, it now ] is apparent, Germany has followed al most in toto the long established plan of the PanGerman League, whose
 propaganda had been regarded outside of Germany as the harmless activity of ! extremists. Coupled with this plan, as an instrument of economic consolida- tion, the German officials have used the
 only slight notifications the system of
 customs union expansion which aided | Prussia in former years to extend her domination over the other German
 states now making up the empire.
 i AS early as 1911, the Pan-German i League is said to have circulated a def
 mite propaganda of conquest, with printed appeals containing maps Of -a { greater Germany whose sway from Hamburg to Constantinople and then 1 southeastward through Asiatic Turkey ! was marked out by boundaries virtually
 co-incident with the military lines held
 today, under German officers, by the i troops of Germany, Austro Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.

ENGINEERS FROM

 GOING TO FRANCE

WASHINGTON. May 20.-Means by which railroad executives will help the war department organize the nine regi- ments of railway engineers to be raised for immediate service in Frances lines were announced tonight by Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the American Railway Association war board.
 A committee of six railway heads has been named to cooperate with army officers and all executives have been urged to release certain of their high ly trained employees for the army and to give immediate attention to the reg lment's organization.
 The French railways are badly run down." says the war boards s appeal to railway executives. They need more or less complete rehabilitation. France has no men who can be spared for this work. She wants all her men at the il ont.
 Before we can train men to go into the trenches we can supply Frances railroad wants, and we can do it prac- tically immediately. Any men we send over must be soldiers, so it will be nee essary for the railroad forces to enter the army.
 We propose to make up five con- struction regiments of six companies each to do this rehabilitation. Each regiment will have an engineer officer of the United States army as colonel and another officer from the army as adjutant. The other officers will be railroad men, except that the commis- sary will be provided by the army. The lieutenant colonel will be a chief en- gineer. of railroad, or some one else of similar experience. The captains will be taken from the engineers of maintenance of way, the lieutenants from supervisors or roadmasters, anC

SWEDEN NEAR BREAKING POINT WITH GERMANY WHEN TElIT0N SUBMARINES
 SINK THREE FOUD' +rSh3EN SHIPS

[RepurIlcan A. P. Leased Wirel ;
 STOCKHOLM, (via London,)
 May 2O.-News that the Swedish
 steamers Vesteriznd Aspen and
 Vixen, laden with grain from Eng
 land, had been sunk by German
 submarines Was received here late
 last night and caused much indg
 nation.
 The arrival of the steamships
 which were released under the re- cent reciprocal agreement freeing
 the entente allies tonnage in the
 Bothnian gulf, had been awaited
 eagerly.
 Former Minister of Marine
 Bostroem was the chief owner of
 the Vesterland, while the Trans
 Atlantic company, of Gothenbure,
 owned the Aspen and Vixen.
 The message which told of the
 sinking, said eight mepbers of the
 crew of tne Vixen and two men
 aboard the Vester'and had been
 lost.
 Newspapers were united today ir voicing indignation. The Stockholm Tidningen captains its article "The Germans Dastardly Deed Against Sweden and characterizes it as q deliberate and bloody crime" It de clares that land capable of such : deed Is carable of anything.
 The Dagens Nyheter says:
 Our German kindred land-as it is fond of calling itself-is drawing heavy drafts on the sympathies which it be- lieves itself to possess here" The Nyheter declares no intelligent German need wonder that his country has SC few friends in the world.
 The Stockholm Dagblad, says : share of indignation must be vented or England which delayed the departure of the steamers until after May l. bu that the first and foremost f-elinf must be. bitterness against the German submarine campaign methods. It adds
 The sinkings may give further proof of the danger of invading tho blockade zone but sympathy for Ger many as well as provisions for Sweder went down with the ships
 The Svenska Dagbladt says it f plain that the Germans are proceel ing without the slightest elementar. regard for our rights as neutrals.
 No theoretical defenses by Germany the Daghladt adds. can prevent tn, greatest bitterness from prevailing il Sweden.
 The Vixen was built in 1916. and wa on her first trip. She was of 1,S20 ton gross. The Vesterland was of 4.01 tons gross and built in 1907. The Aspei was of 3.103 tons gross and built a Sunderland twenty years ago.

There is n m~onstrous fault with

arch and the heels; the one is rarely
high enough to afford proper support

the foot out of shape, and understand,
that any discomfort of the feet is sure
to wear on the nerves. So then, in
buying your shoes look to these
points I have suggested. Do not
