G. Her subject will be In Devastat-

The Comtesse is q woman Of vivid

hardships and priVations, and for

contracted scarlet fever in her Of

There is some speculation in Of
fetal circles as to what will be the
next step in what is recognized as
the great Germanic peace offensive.
Generally, it is believed that the
German and Austrian military lead
ers will point to the American re-
ply as an evidence that they have
done everything possible to bring
about peace and thus try to
strengthen theid people for another
winter campaign. But another view
is that, owing to the intolerable con-
ditions in Austria Hungary there is
more than a possibility of break
ing up OF the Quadruple alliance;
that Austria, having gone through
the form of making a peace pro-
posaI, which was promptly reject
ed, has thus cleared the way for her
next step-an unconditional sur
render on the terms laid down by
President Wilson.

made her exposures concerning the

Less than month ago Bolshevik
troops at -Orsha rioted because a
trainload of cloth was about to pass
across the German lines, asserting
that they would advertise the fact
throughout Russia if the Germans
persisted in taking away Russian
fabrics.
The situation became so grave
that the Germans abandoned their
plans to ship the fabrics. Small
shipments may slip through but, the
large consignments escape the La
borers with difficulty and the CIR
cumstancesf are SO widely discussed
in meetings that even the close
press censorship does not prevent
wide publicity. @s

Tended shipments to Germany on the
ground that the foodstuffs and
cloths were for Russian prisoners,

terrible stories Of their privations
that the Russian masses refused to
accept the explanation, which was
denounced as pretext Of corrupt

Stockholm, Sept. 17.--Gernan dis

OF the commercial agreement be-
tween Germany and Soviet Russia
in the same general terms as those
employed by the Bolsheviki press.
These dispatches maintain the same
degree Of secrecy concerning the
details as that which M. Joff, the
Bolshevik ambassador preserved
when he made his hurried trip from
Berlin to Moscow to complete the
agreement.
The masses In Russia were dis
pleased by the arrangement because
they knew it contemplated the sale
of goods so badly needed by the
Russians and especially the transfer
to Germany of the fabrics which
the Soviet government had confis-
Gated in great quantities in Moscow

conditions of peace laid down by
President Wilson as their own.
While no reference to 1t was made
in the reply which the United
States government is making to
Austria, it is known that one of the
most objectionable features of Baron
Burian's proposition was the secrecy
suggested for the non binding"
c conferences. 1t was realized by of
flciaIs here that the purpose was
to barter away the rights Of various
nationalities in star chamber pro-
ceedings so that the victims would
have no knowledge Of their fate un-
til it was beyond recall. This sys-
tenn Of barter was particularly de-
nounced by President Wilson in
one of his speeches.
That the German people them
selves were to be kept in the dark
ply the military masters and pre-
vented from having any voice in
the peace which was to be imposed
upon them, was regarded as an as.

apprehension in administration cir
cles of a. combination Of great An
ancial interests that know no ma
tionality and fear the destruction Of
all wealth and business by the
spread Of Bolshevik ideas, might IN
some way be behind this movement
to bring about a peace and ternin-
ate the war before it had been
fought to clear decision. There is
no such apprehension on the part of
the administration of q cataclysm
which will bring down all civilized
institutions, and instead, the general
staff has given every assurance that
the war is proceeding to a reason
ably early and complete victory
which will involve the acceptance
by the Central Powers of the only
possible terms Of peace-namely,
those laid down by President VIII
son.
The Peace Terms.
These terms, referred to in the
reply dictated today to the Austrian
note, were clearly set out IN Presi-

propose to the Allied governments
that African elephants be tanned and
used in the reconstruction Of France

Because gun and shell fire at the
battle fronts are slaughtering mules

Mr.. Ringing and Edmond L4aplea, Of

met in conference here the other day
and discussed plans for using the
heretofore African elephant in recon
struction work in Europe. a
The men agreed that the loss of
horses and mules could not be re-
placed for many years, and since the
African elephants may be found in
vast numbers, and be tanned easily,
both felt positive that the Allies would
assist in the shipment Of the big
beasts.
