PEACE OFFENSIVE
NOW IN FULL SIZING
BY the Associated Press

Washington. Sept. 1.-THE German
peace offensive is now recognized by
officials here as being In full swing. A
progressive campaign Is clearly indicated
10 their minds by the apparently casual
remarks of Premier Won Hertling, a few
days ago, followed by the more formal
statement to the visiting German news
paper men in Vienna by Count Burian
the Austrian Foreign Minister, the re-
marks CT The German Crown Prince and
now the speech Of Emperor William him
self to the working people of Essen.
Analysis of the abstract of the EN-
peror's remark reported by cable fails
to disclose any new features; there is
the same oft-reitcrated denial of respon-
sibility for the continuance of the war.
and the same warning to the German
people that the purpose of the enemy is
to destroy them.
Another step in the development of
the peace offensive in Germany Is noted
In the denunciation Of Samuel Gompers
by Carl Rudolph Legien, president of the
German federation of trade unions
These organizations are dominated by
the Pan-Germans, who have taken alarm
at Mr.. Gomperss successful work among
the British labor unionists in exposing
the dangers of a German peace by un-
6erst anding," and has set the machinery
at work to try to hold the German So
cialists in line.

RECOGNITION BY U. 5.
ENCOURAGES CZECHS
Great Significance Attached to
Conference Between Will
son and Masaryk
By the United Press
WeshlngtOn, Sept. Il.

Encouraged by American recognition,
tbe Czecho- -Slovaks of the world-both
inside ard outside Cf Austria--are mus
tering their strength and influence to
the full support of the Entente cause,
according to authoritative disclosures
here today.
Great significance was attached by
diplomats to the conference between
President Wilson and Chairman Ma
saryk. of the Czecho-Slovak National
Council It was the Bohemian leader s
first visit to the White House since
the CzechC-Slovak recognition, and the
meeting was considered no less than
n recognition Of Doctor Masaryk's au-
thority over the de facto government
and the CzechC-Slovak forces in Siberia,
France and Italy.
Czech press dispatches to the Ma
tional Council refer to the intense spirit
aroused in Bohemia and Moravia by the
assurance of outside aid and to the
evident boldness Of the Czecho-Slovak
leaders.
Czech Deputy Karel Praseek. former
Austrian cabinet member. is quoted IN
Prague newspapers as calling upon the
members of every city council ana town
board to consider themselves delegates
to the Czecho- -Slovak national committee
at Prague. Deputy Prasek declares
according to the press, that the bo-
hemian and the Slovak people must not
leave their destinies in the hands or
the Czech deputies, who are raliantiy
opposing the authority Of Vierna. but
that every man must line UP in defense
Of the slogan "a sovereign independent
Czecho-Slovak State"
Diplomats here hold that the ad-
vices provide ample verification OF the
rumors of growing internal troubles IN
Austria and of the continued weak
ening of the Austrian Government.
The clergy of all Bohemian dioceses
have recognized the Czecho-Slovak
national aspirations, according to ad-
vices from Berne. 1t is stated that
Vienna newspapers are aroused by the
stand and are demanding action against
the churchmen.

NashinStou- Sent.

Habitual use of morphine, cocaine,
heroin and preparations containing other
narcotic drugs has increased rapidly in
the United States within the last two
years, and a drastic anti-narcotic law
must be enacted at this session OF Con-
gress to check the wholesale spread OF
the habit. These are the conclusions
made public today by a special Treasury
investigating committee, together with
partial report on the number Of drug
addicts actually under physicians treat
ment in the States.
The investigation of the committee,
which Is headed by Representative
Rainey, of Illinois, showed that thou
sands of drafted men have been dis
missed from military camps after 1t was
found they we're drug addicts, and that
this number included many who sys-
tematically developed the habit after
being drafted in order to insure their
dismissal. This condition is one reason
given for the urgency of immediate
remedial legislation.
The necessary measures already have
been embodied in the new revenue bill,
the committee reported, providing for
registration Of manufacturers and deal
ers in proprietary medicines containing
compounds of narcotic drugs as well as
the pure drug. The measure also would
tax these preparations. provide means of
keeping track of great quantities dis
pensed annually and stop the leopholes
