No Faith in
Proposals
for Peace

Washington, Dec. 27.-If the
Central Powers peace overtures to
Russia are true. they still lack the
essential element demanded by
President Wilson and seconded by
England-elminatio of Hohenzol-
lernism.
Moreover, the blanket formula,
mo annexation and no indemni-
ties" by no means covers all that
must be included, within a peace
settlement. This leaves the re-
storation of Belgium and kindred
problems out of consideration and
is considered here today as largely
n bait to the Russians in view of
their formulation of this creed.
While Pre- sident Wilson's peace
views practically call for this for
mula his chief insistence Is upon
elimination of the present govern
ment system upon which no faith
can be placed and with which no
bargain can be made.

MECHANICAL AGE ON
THE FARM PROPOSED

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Mechanical genius
of the agricultural engineer was enlist
ed today to combat the unprinciped
German labor methods and to solve the
serious farm labor shortage occasioned
by the war
Members of the American Society
of Agricultural Engineers. in conven .
tion, were urged by its president, E. B.
Mccormick. to make this the mechan-
ical age for the farm and to so adapt
farm machinery that an aged man or a
woman may take the place of the youth
drafted into the army. Mccormick
heads the United States office of rural
engineering in Washington
Deploring the farm labor shortage
here, Mccormick said Germany Is best
supplied of all the warning nations with
farm labor because of it's INSCRIPTIONS
policy of working deported civilians
regardless of sex and military prison
ers long hours and to limit of human
endurance, thus releasing German
labor for military duty"
I'VE agricultural engineers must
combat this handicap" he said. "and
provide ample food for our allies and
ourselves"
