nels and other fnstrumentalities of
the United States in the state of
West Virginia. Secretary Of War

Company commanders responded
quickly and it was possible for the
greater part of the strength OF each
unit to reach company headquarters
the enlisted members were out Of
bounds at the time, but are all OK
uected to answer roll call without un-
necessary delay.
Charleston is expected 20 be- the
point Of mobilization and il is as
sumed that the regiment will come
together at Kanawha City. at the
same site on which the two state rogl-
mpnts were mobilized last summer
before the Second Infantry was sent
to Texas.
Orders were issued from the office
OF Adtutant General Bond dealing
with the requirements of the service.
One Of these directs that ali mem
bers OF the organized militia who
hare not qualified as members of the
National Guard Of the United States
by subscribing to the oaths prescribed
by the military regulations made BY
an act OF congress. will be discharged.
About thirty men are said to be at
fected BY this order. The kind of dis
charges each will receive Is not
known. But the degree OF merl, at,
taching 10 them will be regulated
probably by the company and regl-
mental commanders

LARGE j. S, ARMY
GOES TO CAMP TODAY
KAISER TO ASK PEACE.
German Ruler Reported to Be
Preparing New Note.
Newspapers Being Permitted to Tell Of
Plans to End War Before Winter
Inlay Appeal to v. s.

London Stpt. 19.-The crop of So
called peace rumors that the German
censor is permitting to sprout in Lead
ing German newspapers convinces the
London press and public that Berlin Is
preparing home opinion for another
adrOit peace maneuver, which prob
ably will take definite shape before
snow flies.
First came the alleged British peace
offer which, notwithstanding official
denial. is still being commented on ex-
citedly in Germany. Now much fuel
has been added to the citation by the
report that the German government
has abandoned claims of supremacy
and control over the territory and pop
ulation of Belgium. In addition, there
are all sorts Of rumors regarding the
German answer to the pope.
A strange thing about the whole at
fair is that the German censor ap-
pears to be permitting the newspapers
to discuss the matter freely, but so far
as Is known none of the discussions is
founded on more substantial authority
than the indefinite 1--WE understand" or
I'VE have received information" The
fact remains, however, that the Ger
man government, as represented by the
censor, does not object to these state
ments.
A dispatch to the Central News from
Amsterdam says:
"A careful reading of German papers
leads to the belief that reports of
British peace offer were circulated
simply with the object Of making it
easy for the German government to
rally to the attitude Of the reichstag
majority" and the whole thing is an
adroit maneuver engineered by Doctor
Won Kuehlmann, the German foreign
secretary.
1t would not surprise London II Ger
many first directed efforts of feelers to
the United States. In fact, some quar-
ters expect this move. They are salts
fed, however, that the United States,
being determined to go on with the
war, will not be misled.

IT'S THE SAME OLD WORLD
Written 1000 Years Ago, Unearthed
In Ancient Ruins.

A wife's letter 1000 years old was
unearthed recently in the ruins Of the
Serapoum, the temple of Memphis, the
great city Of ancient Egypt. The letter
was written by Isias to her husband,
Hephaestion, who had deserted her
There were two letters, In fact, the
first bearing q date equivalent to July
"a, 100 B. @. In them the wife re-
prOaches her husband for neglect OF
his family and, what is particularly
interesting at the present time, she
complains Of the high cost OF living.
Here are some extracts from the
first letter: '1sias to Hephaestion, her
husband. Greetngs-n you are well
and other things are turning out with
you according to your wishes, it would
be as I perpetually pray the gods. I
myself am in good health, and the child
and all In the house make mention of
you continually. When / received
your letter from Horus, in which you
explained that you were in retreat In
the Serapoum at Memphis, I imme-
diately gave thanks to the gods that
you were well. But that you do not
return distresses me. For having pi-
loted myself and your child through
such a crisis and having come to the
last extremity because Of the high cost
Of corn. and thinking that your return
would bring me relief, you have never
even thought Of returning or spared a
look for my helpless state"

Blazed Way for Democracy.

Atlantic City, N j., Sept 1o.-Busi-

ton In war were told by Secretary
Lane, addressing the war convention
OF the chamber Of commerce Of the
United States here, to change the word
from "Duty" to Opportunity" and
seek answer from the khaki-clad Amer
lean boys who are crossing the ocean.
I'VE have come upon new day and
new philosophy" he said. "We are to
judge men henceforward not by what
they have but by what they give"
The secretary declared that the
United States having determined to
fight Germany's efforts to master the
world with high explosives and low
intrigue" was making full steam
ahead.
Urges U. S. to Fix All Prices.
Entire reorganization OF the govern
ment purchasing system was urged
by speakers. The war Industries board,
recently created, had failed to meet
the situation, 1t was declared, by the
lack Of complete authority under the
law.
Waddell Catchings of New York de-
clared that the competitive buying be-
tween the government and private In
dustry had produced high prices. The
power to make purchases, he said,
should be taken out Of the hands Of the
army and navy.

Mediator Acts.
San Francisco, Sept. 19.-Govern-
ment machinery moved rapidly during
the day to settle the strike of approxi-
mately $4,000 iron workers and ship

OF higher wage demands paralyzed 1OO
or more great and small industrial
plants In San Francisco and vicinity
and tied up war emergency construc-

clliator, with committees of the Cali
forn1a Metal Trades association and

conferees adjourning until James L.
Ackerson, representing the United

tunity to ascertain the federal wage
scale.

compromise which might be officially
offered. 1t was generally felt at the
headquarters Of both factions that
some method of speedily ending the
strike would be found.
