GERMANYS TERMS
TO Be GIVEN OUT
MAIN COMMITTEE OF REicHSTAo
AND BUNDESRATH DISCUSSED
MATTER MONDAY.
Alleged Outline Floating Around Re-
sembIance to General Tenor OF
Proposals Noted; New German
Party Would War On.

London.-Germany will shortly be
able to publish her peace terms, ac-
cording to DR. Georg Michaelis, the
German chancellor. DIR. Michaelis In
an interview said he had so informed
the reichstag main committee an Ex-
change Telegraph dispatch from Cop
enhagen state.
THE main committee" said DIR.
Michaeis In the interview, had tried
to make final arrangements regarding
peace conditions and the question OF
Alsace-Lorraine, but no decision has
yet been taken. The question, how
ever, was eagerly discussed and Ger
many will soon be able to publish her
peace terms"
Washington.-What purpOrted to be
an outline Of Germanys peace terms
has been circulated among diplomats
here within the last two weeks, but
has been regarded by the entente en-
bassies and most of the neutrals as a
''feeler." The origin of the so-called
terms was not disclosed, but they are
said to have been written by Foreign
Secretary Won kuehlmann before his
visit to Vienna, which since has been
pointed to us strengthening the prob
ability that they bear evidences OF au-
thenticity.
Briefly. the so-called terms were as
follows:
Restoration of Belgium and north
ern France, to be paid for out of the
sale of Germanys colonies to Great
Britain
Alsace and Lorraine to he independ-
ent states (high officials recently hnve
stated anew the determination OF
France to be satisfied with nothing
less than the recovery of her lost prov7
inces)
Trieste to be free port"
Serbia and Rumania to be restared
and Serbia to have port on the Adri-
attic.
The Balkan question and the status
of Turkey to be subjects for negotia-
ton.
Disarmament and international po-
lice.
Freedom Of the seas with Great
Britain in control of the English chan
mel until the projected tunnel is built
between Dover and Calais.
This outline OF terms, circulated
without definite stamp of any official
authority, 1t will be noted, bears in
many respects a resemblance to the
general tenor Of the peace proposals
of Pope Benedict.
BY some diplomats such an outline
is regarded as presenting something
susceptible of discussion. 1t is dis
cussed merely as possibility, with
out having yet advanced fully into the
range of probability.

PLOT TO POISON ARMY HORSES.


Fort Sheridan, In.-A poison plot to
destroy consignment of army horses
that may have been a nationwide spy
plot, with headquarters in Chicago.
was revealed Saturday when four
horses at Fort Sheridan died and 9TH
ers became i'll. Secret service officials
from Hinton Clabaugh's office in Chi
cago were notified by Colonel Ryan
and an analysis is being made of the
hay fed to the horses. 1t was discov-
cred that arsenic had been sprinkled
on It,
The arsenic had been put In the
hay while the horses were being
shipped through Chicago, is the belief
of the secret service men. They be-
lieve 1t was done while the shipment
was delayed for half day In the
stock yards.

LIBERTY BONDS ATTRACTIVE.

In floating the new Liberty loan
much will of course be said about the
patriotic duty of subscribing. This is
all true and good stuff. Yet many of
our shrewdest bankers are urging
their clients to buy Liberty bonds,
as the very best investment in the
market,
It's certainly a phenomenal thing
that the bonds of the United States
government, the best security on
earth, should sell to net per cent.
Never before has such thing hap
pened. There have been many times
when per cent bonds could be float
ed at par by the government. The
United States Panama canal bonds
sold few months ago, before the
war broke out, for premium of 2
to per cent. And they pay only 8
per cent.
Conditions in the security market
now are wholly abnormal, and can't
last after the war. European invest
ors have been unloading on US their
American securities, as they wanted
the money to put into their own gov
ernment issues. Our people have had
to dig money out of all kinds of in
vestments to buy back our securities
held abroad. This has reduced the
price on everything, including gov
ernment bonds.
In the face of this selling move
ment the first Liberty loan has sold
for but few cents under par. 1t
seems as certain as anything In busi-
ness can be that after the war these
bonds will go up. II under normal
conditions a 3 per cent bond sells at
102 to 104, a per cent bond should
bring a good deal more than that.
Here then is chance to get inter-
est that is higher than many savings
banks used to pay, and at the same
time a practical certainty that the
value of the principal will advance
within a very few years. Usually
when you speculate you must take
risks. Here is a chance to get the
advantage of speculation without taxi
ing any risk. 1t should not be neces-
sary to work the patriotic movement
so hard to sell these bonds.

AMERICAN ENDURANCE.

Many of our people are wondering
what our navy boys are doing all this
time while there is such intense ac-
tivity at the army cantonments. A
letter from one Of them gives a hint
of it, He says the crews of the de-
stroyers who are hunting submarines
are having very strenuous time of
It.
They are out four days at time,
during which period they get scarcely
any rest or sleep and can barely stop
for food. He says they return to
port completely exhausted and then
get four days rest It is hard
game. and will grow harder as winter
weather approaches.
Many people have the idea that the
Americans. while quick and nervous,
lack the power of enduring long-con-
tinued strains. Such experiences as
these show that our boys can stick IT
out with the best of them. and have
the physical and nervous stamina to
stand as much as any human consti-
tuition can. They win show It when
they get to the trenches.

MOURNING IN TIME OF WAR.

The suggestion is made by the Dry
Goods Economist that during war
time women discard the habit of
wearing black for lost friends. This
is urged on the ground of scarcity of
clothing materials, and the depress-
ing influence of black in time of
national sorrow.
II many women must by next year
face the loss of their boys, a large
part of them would no doubt like to
put on black. In times Of grief wom-
en- feel a certain reserve about min
Cling with gay life. The black dress
is a suggestion that they are in sor-
row and should not be pressed into
scenes of merriment.
The wearing Of black does tend to
set a person apart little. and it
often makes women morbid. They
seek solitude and avoid their friends
too much. They get in a habit of
|brooding and often become very abb
normal. 1t would have been much
better II at the start they could have
plucked up their courage and gone
with their friends.
Yet there is question II, not
merely in war time but always, this
attitude Is not unwholesome and
sometimes selfish. It does create an

Liberty Engine"
On First Trip

The first locomotive constructed
on the Pacific coast in a quarter of
a century has just had it's maiden
trip over the Southern Pacific lines,
having hauled part of the draft con-
tingent from Sacramento to Oakland
and thence to Roseburg, Ore. In its
first 72 hours Of service the new en-
gine covered 1,040 passenger miles,
which is considered an exceptionally
fine showing The locomotive was
constructed in the Southern Pacific
shops at Sacramento and is of the
Pacific type. Six consolidation en-
gines for freight service and three
ten-wheelers are also being built at
Sacramento, the ten costing $500, 900
and constituting part of the Southern
Pacific's order for 65 new engines.
The Liberty Engine" as 1t has been
nicknamed, has a traction pull of AS
470 pounds
George Mccormick, general SUPER
intendent of motive power, states that
car building is now in progress at the
company's shops in Sacramento and
Los Angeles. Three flat cars have
been turned out already by the Sacra-
mento shops and eight at Los An
geles. :

CONGESTED RAILROADS.

A railroad man says that never in
his experience has he seen conditions
on the railroads so tied up as they
are at this present time. Freight
trains are so slow coming through
that many manufacturers send all
their smaller deliveries by express.
Freight and express business calls
for strong and husky men, so it is
performed largely by young men. 1t
takes fellow with some elasticity of
muscle to handle big boxes.
Now comes the draft and calls out
big share Of these vigorous young
men, depicting the freight and ex-
press terminals. Meanwhile big
score Of the young men from offices,
factories and stores, who live under
conditions not conducive to physical
strength are escaping service, since
the exemption boards won't pass
them on account Of physical disabil-
ity. This leaves the railroads terri
bly, handicapped in trying to handle
the enormous strain Of war business,
with every factory jumping to fill
orders.
OF course the general shortage of
railroad equipment is aggravating
this situation. The people with mon
ey to invest have become sore on the
railroad stocks, claiming that under
the strict government control now
existing there is not much chance to
make money in buying their securi-
ties. The railroads finding 1t diff
cult to get money, are not increasing
their facilities as they ought to.
Meanwhile manufacturers who
can't get raw material and merchants
who can't get shipments are paving
up the earth and uttering loud i'm
precautions about freight delays. II
would help some If every man who
has a shipment of goods will take
away his stuff the day it comes in
so that cars can be released and sent
off where most needed

atmosphere Of gloom. Many men
feeling this depressing influence tell
their wives never to put on black for
them. They hate to leave behind this
perpetual suggestion of funerals
Few men wear black for bereave-
ment, though the custom of wearing
a black band on the arm is common.
Men feel sorrow as much as women,
yet are forced by the pressure Of
work to leave 1t all behind them, and
60 on day by day as before. 1t is bet
ter for them and better for women to
do so, and of doubtful value to keep
reminding others that their hearts
are grieving 1t would not be the
wish Of the soldier boys whom we
shall leave in France, that their
bright country should emphasize the
sorrow it feels in any external way,

ADVERTISING COMPETITORS.

The question before the merchant
is not merely what he is going to do
with advertising. It is what advertis-
ing is going to do with him. The re-
tail store need not think it can ig-
more the matter of advertising. For
whether it tries publicity or not, it
is affected by publicity, and 1t must
meet the advertising of its compet-
itors.
This is not merely that the enter
prising merchants of town are
drawing trade away from those who
are more conservative. It is also that
all the merchants Of a town like ours
are affected by the advertising of
great metropolitan department stores
and mail order houses. If our mer-
chants remain passive large sec
tion Of their trade will be drawn
away from them by the vast advertis-

ing campaigns on which millions are
spent.
Mail order catalogues and i!g city
newspapers are coming IN here all
the time, and the announcements in
those mediums attract our people.
The goods are not any better, II ns
good. But the fact that the sellers
thereof have confidence to boom
them as persistently as this, draws
away the business from the home
town. The only way to meet adver-
'tising is by advertising.

FEWER STUDENTS.

Preliminary returns from the col
leges and technical schools are show
ing a decline in enrolment of 10 to
40 per cent. AS the majority of these
students are under military age, 1t
does not seem possible that any such
proportion could have been drafted.
Probably good many boys of 19 and
20, fearing lest they would be called
out before the war is over, dislike to
enter on courses that they may not
be able to complete.
The United States faces a hard race
after the war for technical and men
tai supremacy. The war has demon
strated that the old levels Of attain
ment were not sufficient. Old theor-
les of political economy, old systems
of mechanical production, have had
to go into the rag bag. The worlds
industries are going to reopen on a
basis of greater production. Many
wastes have been eliminated and the
wits of men have been sharpened by
intense competition.
The United States can not go alont
in the old wasteful way. 1t needs
mechanical experts of the highest or
der. It needs broadly trained mel
who have studied deeply into human
history, and who can lead our people
in ways of progress and in develop
ment of better civic institutions.
Therefore the boy who abandon'
his plan for higher education is mo-
doing we'll. 1t is quite possible thai
there will not have to be another
drawing, Or even If there is, the sec
ond division of men called may ge
no farther than the training camps
OF this country and France.
In that case they can simply come
back to their work without any rea
loss of time. The year will have beer
well spent in valuable training, and
they can resume their mental ant
technical studies with more power
than ever. The country needs all the
educated men 1t can get. The un
trained man more than ever before
will be out of the game.

Willis, near Woodward,

Wills, near woodward,
Detroit, Mich, Sept. 10, 1917.
Dear Grandpa: Yesterday (Tues-
day. there was a big parade which
thousands of people flocked to see.
The jam of people covered the stores,
roofs Of buildings and the sidewalks
and street of Woodward avenue out
to the car tracks on either side,
though in some places there was a
space of eight or ten feet between the
jam in the street and the jam on the
sidewalk. The jam on. the sidewalk
couldn't get out, for they were roped
in. l could have been in the parade
with the school children, but l didn't
want to, SO / went to Fyfe's third
floor and watched In the parade
there were Canadian soldiers re-
turned from the front, our drafted
men, a float on which women sat
knitting, 49, bands, an armed corps,
Knights Templars, school children,
Mayor Oscar B. Marx, Mr. Henry Ford
and Mr.. Heineman, local aldermen
and some other city officers. There
were also a lot of home guards.
There was a man near me who lived
in Highland Park and he called out
Here comes H. p Every cookbook
ing regiment was H. p There was
also drunken man who shook hands
with Mr.. Ford. The police controlled
the crowd by soaring them. The
mounted police backed their horses
up against the jams and pushed, but
sometimes person would get
stepped on. The traffic police are not
mounted, so both the traffic police
and the plain policemen strung hands
and pushed back where the mounted
didn't look after. The motorcycle
police did their bit too. They would
start up full speed and fairly skin
the jams, soaring them back, but in
spite of all this the people, would step
back again after the horse, man or
cycle had passed. A lot of women
tainted. A man was arrested. l
don't know why. Some airplanes
were supposed to come, but didn't.
There were some queer looking Bo-
hemians, whom we passed, going
home.
It would have required hours to
catch a Woodward car, so we took
the Fourteenth avenue car and trans
ferred to crosstown which landed
us three blocks from home. The
Woodward avenue route would be
quicker, shorter and land us block
from home, but it would be too
crowded and take too long to get it.
