Sugar Substitute Is
Favorably Considered

WASHINGTON. April IA sweet.
gum-like product from palm juice, used
in some portions of Central and South
America, has been suggested here as a
substitute for sugar. Experts are of
the opinion that it would be little
difficult to bring ii up to the grade
of cane or beet sugar, however. They
claim, however. that. If the sugar short
age gets serious, the product will be
investigated thoroughly.
Negotiations for a sugar credit of
500. 900. 900 have just been completed
for Cuban planters and worked out UNI
der the direction of the international
Sugar committee. Cuba's crop is esti-
mated at 3,250.o00 tons. The commit
tee has secured contracts for $500, 900

Ross Melton, Macon
Attorney, Surenders

MACON, Ga, April 12.-Ross Melton
well-known Macon lawyer, charged with
Incorporating $1,000 given him by a
client to buy real estate, returned to-
day and surrendered to Sheriff James
Hooks. He was released on a $4,000
bond
When officers sought him several days
ago to serve a warrant sworn out by
H. L. McSwain, local broker, Melton
had left the city. Search was made but
no trace of him was found until he re-
turned. He vigorously denied the
charges saying the whole matter was a
business affair between himself and Nc
Swain.

his pacifst maneuvers were honest, or
were inspired by Berlin in an effort to
bring about split among the entente
allies.
Count Czernin on April in an ad-
dress at Vienna declared that Premier
Clemenceau had sought peace negotia-
tions with Austria. The French pre-
mier replied that Count Czernin lied.
The French and Austrian foreign Of
fees then issued statements explaining
the unofficial negotiations in Switzer-
land.
Early last week the French govern
ment declared that Emperor Charles
and Count Czernin both had said that
the claim of France to Lorraine
was just. This brought a denial from
Emperor Charles in the form of tele-
gram to Emperor William, to whom he
reiterated his loyalty to the German
cause and denied that he had said
France was justified in wanting Alsace-
Lorraine returned.
This Immediately brought from the
French government the publication of
letter from Emperor Charles to his
brother-in-law, Prince Sixtus of Bour-
bon, which was autographed and which
the emperor asked be given to President
Poincare. In the letter the emperor
said that France should have Alsace-
Lorraine and that Belgium and Serbia
should be restored. He also asked that
London and Paris be felt out as to prob
able peace terms.
Germans newspapers have attacked
both Emperor Charles and his foreign
secretary because of this letter and at
tempts have been made to show that it
was not written by the emperor. l.
has been reported in Vienna that there
was no attempt to hide its authenticity.
but that the French version was gar
bled. 1t has also been reported that
the letter was written by the emperor S
mother-!n-law
Count Czernin was in Rumania when
the letter was published by the French
government and he was summoned to
Vienna Friday.
Count Ottokar Czernin Won Chudenitz
Won Chudenitz, a wealthy Bohemian
land owner, was minister to Rumania
when that country entered the war.
Within six weeks after the death Of
Empeor Francis Joseph, Count Czerniu
was appointed foreign minister by En-
peror Charles Count CZernin is very
close friend of Count Berchtold, foreign
minister at the outbreak of the war,
and who has been reported as the politi-
cal mentor of the young emperor Count
Berchtold has been opposed to the Pan
German war party and his resignation
was brought about by them.
In addition to being foreign minis
ter Count Czernin was premier and
chancellor of the dual empire. He is
about sixty-one years old.

near the Belgian border, which has been
retaken by the Germans, continued to
rage this morning with the same In
tensity that has marked it for days and
the British are pounding the Germans
hard
Another assault on Bailleul, four
miles west of Neuve Eglise, is expected
momentarily.
The latest reports this forenoon show
ed that the British line was being
strongly held as a whole in this north
ern zone, and in some instances had
been considerably improved by counter
strokes.
The British last evening followed UP
their success of Saturday when they
pushed the Germans back from Robecq
on the Clarence river. Local counter at
tacks delivered on the German posi-
tions 5000 yards to the east of this
town were completely successful and
the enemy again was forced to fall back
somewhat.
The British in the course of the aft
ernoon also pushed by several posts
north of the canal between the Lave
and Clarence rivers.
These operations indicate that the
defense of the entente allied troops has
stiffened
The battle which has been raging
about Neuve Eglise has been one of the
most sanguinary since rne German Of
fensive began. Friday night hte Ger
mans succeeded after heavy hand to
hand fighting in gaining possession of
the town. He held it through the night
but Saturday morning the British drove
forward and pushed out the enemy.
The Germans continue to fling great
numbers of troops against the defenses.
Yesterday the British took the initia-
tive and cleared the Germans from the
slopes to the east ana southeast of the
town. The enemy kept on hammering
and after a night of severe fighting at
close quarters forced the British to
again abandon the village.

BEGGING FOR PEACE.
aUSrRO-HUNGARY PROPOSES
CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS
TERMS.
Suggested That All Benigerents Send
Delegates to Conference in a Neu-
trial piace to Engage in Non Bind
ing Secret Discussion of Peace Con-
f1itiOnS

Amsterdam, Sept. Is (By the AS
sociated Press).-In extending an IN
vitation to all the belligerent govern
ments to enter into non-binding dis
cussions at some neutral meeting
place. the Austro-Hungarian govern
ment states that the object of the
conference would be to secure an eN-
change of views which would show
whether those prerequisites exist
which would make the speedy lnau-
guration of peace negotiations appear
promising"
The Austrian proposal which is an
nounced in an official communication
telesraphed here from Vienna sug-
gests that there be no interruption OF
the war and that the discussions
would go only so far as considered
by the participants to offer prospects
of success"
The proposals calls for all the bel
ligerents TO send delegates for con
fidential ard unbinding discussion on
the basic principles for the conclusion
OF peace in a place in neutral coun-
try and at a near date that would ye:
have to be agreed upon"
The proposal says the conference
would be one of ''delegates who
would be charged to make known to
one another the conception Of their
governments regarding those princi-
pies and to receive analogous. COM
munications as we'll as to request
and. give frank and candid explana-
tons on all those points which need
to be precisely defined"
The government announces that a
note embodsing its suggestions had
been addressed to the various bel
ligerent powers and that the Holy
See had been apprised Of the propos-
al in special note. The govern :
ments of the neutral states also had
been acquainted with the proposal.
