GERMAN SEMI OFFICIAL ORGAN ATTEMPTS 10 BEFUDDLE PEOPLE
 OVER PLAN FOR SEP ARATE PEACE

Copenhagen, Aug. ,3o-The state
 ment that an offer of separate peace
 was made to Russia recent by the German government is published in the socialist newspaper Vorwaerts of Berlin. It is brought out by the as-
 sertion of Premier Kerensky of Rus sia in his speech at the Moscow con ference that Russia a short time ago replied indignantly to a proposal to conclude a separate peace, and that a few days ago, i've witnessed am other attempt, equally base, directed against our allies.'s
 Tn this connection, the semi official Nourd Deutsche AllgemeiEe Zeitung again is detected by the German
 press in an attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the world and the Ger
 man public by ostensibly denying Pre-. mier Kerenshx,s account of the over lures to Russia and it's allies, which is Characterised as in reality being nc denial at all. The Tageblatt, the tvorWaerts and Vossische Zeitung cal

BORDEN HOLDS
 PREMIER RSHIP IN
 CANADA CRISIS
Proffered Resignation to Party Caucus Is
 Refused.

Ottawa, Aug. 3p-sir Robert Bor- den, Premier of Canada, offered his resignation to caucus of his sup porters in Parliament yesterday in favor of Sir George Foster, Minister of Trade and Commerce. The caucus declined to accept the resignation It reafhrmed it's confidence in the Pre- mier's leadership.
 Sir Robert was authorized to con tinue his efforts to reorganize the government and bring into 1t repre- sentatfyes of all the clements In Can ada favoring compulsory military service.
 The caucus and its confirmation of Premier Bordeu,s authority are the result of a series of events that began on May IS. At that time the Prime Minister. who had just returned from conferences In England, announced to Parliament his intention to bring down a bill applying conscription to Canada to get l 90, 900 endorsements.
 The Premier invited Sir Wilfrsd Laurier, the opposition leader, to join, forming coalition government to give effect to conscription. Sir Wilfrtd declined, and the Pre-
 mier then opened negotiations with a number of the leading Engiish-speak ing Liberals known to favor con scriptidn. To a committee of Liberal members the Prime Minister offered the selection of half the portfolios in his government.
 The purpose was te bring the Eng hsh-speaking people of Canada so firmly together that the success of
 conscriptien would net be jeepardized by resistance of French Canadians in Quebec.
 The Unieh government negotiations several times appeared certain to re- suit in success, but repeatedly failed owing to personal and political mat terss unconnected with military ser vice.
 Premier Berden showed especial 1 anxiety to obtain the support of Eng
 lish speaking Canadians west of the Great Lakes. To achieve this he in vited to the capital, and there offered cabinet places to Premier Arthur Sif. ton, of Alberta; J. A: Calder, the strong man of the Provincial govern n1ent of Saskatchewan, and T. A Crerar. Representing the organized

 The. VQrwaerts adds that such an offer actually made ito Russia, al- though not by Dr. Von Bethniann- Hollweg. It says the organ of Chan- cellor Michaelis would be right in claiming that Germany had done what
 it could to open a path to peace by
 adoption of the reichstag's peace re- solutions if pr. Michaelis had acted from4the standpoint of the resolution
 without .condftions, Mobbling and re- servations. Unfortunately he has not done this, the Vorwaerts asserts but has permitted the opponents of the resolution to claim him for their own.

They returned West last week and after consulting with their. support CTS, sent back word on behalf of the West that they would enter govern ment with Sir Robert Borden, but not under him. They suggested he should resign the Premiership to enable the Formation of a union government un- der either Sir George Poster, Cana dian Minister of Trade and Commerce: Sir Adam Beck, chairman of the On- tario Hydro Electric Commission; Supreme Court Justice Duff or Sir Robert Falconer. president of Toron-. to University.
 Sir Robert stated the terms propos- ed by the West to the caucus and of fered to vacate the leadership in favor of Sir George Foster.
 Sir George replied that he would not undertake the responsibility Of asslln1- ing the leadership. He felt that, 7 If Canada was to continue to prosecute the war to the utmost. 1t was desirable that Sir Robert Borden should re- main at the head of the govern ment.
 The caucus unanimously indorsed this view, and promised to cooperate with Sir Robert in reorganizing the government so as to embrace alp Can adfan elements favorable to a vigor- ous Canadian war policy. The re- suit of the caucus is expected to be a straight party election in Canada this autumn.

WALKER WILL PASS
ON LIQUOR SEARCH.

Atlanta, Sept. 11.-At the request
of Mayor Pierpont of Savannah, Gov.
Dorsey has asked the Attorney Gen
eral for a ruling as to whether jolice
have the right to search premises for
evidence when they are making ar
rests of parties suspected of being
blind tigers.
Attorney General Walker now has
the matter under consideration and
is expected to give the Governor an
opinion within the next few days.
In his letter to the ttorney General,
Gov. Dorsey said:

HOOVER TO CONTROL
$40, PACKING INDUSTRY.

Washington, Sept 12.-Government
regulation of the meat packing indus
try will be the next move OF the FOOD
administration.
A voluntary officer of representatives
of the packers to put their plants I'M
der licensing system made to Her
bert Hoover, the food administrator,
at a conference here today was &C
cepted and a plan of control will be
drawn up shortly.
The packers, numbering about
score, came to Washington to take
up with Mr.. Hoover the threatened
meat shortage and the subject OF rails
ing prices. They are of one opinion
that prices can be brought down little
unless a determined effort is made to
increase the production of live stock.
A licensing system for packing
houses was provided in the food con-
troll bill Putting it into operation,
food administration officials believe
will go far towards eliminating
boarding and speculation and will aid
in stabilizing prices. The packers
will confer soon with cattle growers
to disremoving herds from the West
to better feed districts in the East
and South.
Increased production of live stock
is military necessity, Carl Vrooman,
Assistant SECRETARY of Agriculture,
declared in a statement tonight, af-
ter the packing meeting endd.
The production of more live stock
was highly desirable before war, said
Mr.. Vrooman; now it is a national
necessity, first because of the terri
BILE dearth of meat animals not only
in this countrp, but throughout the
world; second, because no further
vast of foods must be permitted, and
the only thing that can prevent waste
on the farm is the production Of more
live stock.
"The fact that keeping of more live
stock is a military necessity does moi
mean that it is any the less a goo(
business. The farmer should not lose
this golden opportunity to cash in hi
waste forage at war prices.

HERE'S A PRETTY HOWDY-DO

Now comes Representative Brown, of
Clark county, and introduces a emas-
ure in the Georgia legislature proyid-
ing for the disposal of twenty thous-
ard gallons of wine bequeathed to the
University of Georgia by the late JUDD
son l.. Hand The wine was made
from grapes that grew on Mr.. Hands
land. The proposal is that, inasmuch
as Georgia is "bone-dry," the wine be
sold outside the state. The wine is es-
timated to be worth $4,000, and the
proposal is that this money be made a
trust fund, the interest on which would
be used to pay the expenses of worthy
young men attending the university.
This is a pretty howdy-do The state,
after making extraordinary efforts to
