Whereas, it appearing this council
has repeated and frequent complaints
from responsible, law abiding citizens
and residents of the community where

tEority of license issued to Adam Cox.
who has personally assumed control

since the issuance of said license; and
Whereas, the complaints above re-
ferred to, indicate and charge that said

due to the department and manage
ment of the owner, Adam Cox; and
Whereas, conditions at said place
of business reached such state of in
Tolerance through the delinquency
of its manager, on August 10, 1918,
that it become necessary for the

to cause said establishment to tenn
porarily close its doors, and

MISS WASEM IS
BURIED in CAPE
Death Of Popular Cape GIRL
Shocks Host Of Friends
In This City

One of the largest funerals wit.
messed in Cape Girardeau in many
months took place last Sunday morn
ing when the body of Miss Louise
Wasem, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fl. C. Wasem, was buried in the Lor-
inner cemetery.
Miss Wasem, who was one of the
most admired yousg ladies in the Cape
died Friday morning in a Red Cross
training hospital in Kansas City,
where she had gone to prepare her
self for service in the national army
as a nurse. She had just been in
Kansas City two weeks when she
died.
Her mother was summoned to
Kansas City when Miss Wasem be-
came seriously i'll of influenza. Mrs.
Wasem arrived there Thursday and
found her daughter much improved.
She conversed with her mother, ex-
pressed delight with her work in the
hospital, and appeared to be growing
better rapidly. She suffered sudden
heart attack and expired without the
knowledge of her nurse.
The death of Miss Wasem came as
distinct shock to her many trends
in Cape Girardeau. She was grad
uated from the Normal school two
years ago, and was a very talented
and charming young lady. When the
government called for volunteers for
war work, she promptly offered her
services, but owing to her youth she
was compelled to wait several
months before she could enter the
service. She made an exceptionally
high mental examination, which in
duced the officials to make exceptions
in order to permit her to enter the
training hospital under the required
age.

Reichstag Told to
Keep Secret Part
OF HertLing Speech

AMSTERDAM. July 13. - Before
Count Won Hertling, the Imperial Chan
Gel!or, delivered his address in the
Relchstag on Thursday, Herr Won
Payer, the Vice Chancellor, said that
portion of the ChanceNors statement
would be confidential. Such parts of
It as he declared to be confidential
should be treated rs such, Herr Won
Payer insisted, and not get into the
press as on former occasions.
The Main Committee gave its con-
sent to this.
After the Chancellor's speech had
been delivered general discussion
took place. Deputy Fischbeck. Pro-
gressive, said it mus be made clear
that the resignation Of DIR. Won Kuehl-
mann as Foreign Secretary was not the
that the appointment Of his successor
was not made at the request of those
circles and not in the furtherance of
their policy
The Deputy said that the Chancellor's
announcement of adherence to his pol
icy was satisfactory and that if he
carried out the promises he had made
on this occasion he, as we'll as the
new Foreign Secretary, Admiral Won
Hintze, would have the support of the
Progressives.
member of the Reichstag, said:
"The reasons given for Foreign Sec
rotary Won Kuehlmann's retirement
were decisive. The unfavorable effect
of his speech was created more from
what he refraned from saying than by
what he said. Now, as before. can
not approve of the Chancellor's internal
policy. The reply to the Papal note
was only diplomatic act and had
no place in the governments pro-
gramme.
"Of course we must all respond to
every serious suggestion of peace ne
gotiations, but considerable reserve in
expressing readiness for them certainly
would be expcdiont.'
Count Won Westarp denied that he
and his friends had doomed the candi-
dacy of Admiral Won Hintze to succeed
Won Kuehlmann. and said:
We have no prejudice, either good
or bad, with regard to the new State
Secretary and we shall await his policy
1t is desirable that Admiral Won Hintze
should in the main have the closest
cooperation with the supreme army
cellor lays such emphasis'
Adolf Groeber, one of the Centre
leaders in the Reichstag, said:
Serious peace proposals from the
enemy must be seriously examined
We cannot, however, again and again
manifest our readiness for peace and
announce our conditions in detail and
from our side only"
Philip Scheidemann, Socialist
leader, said:
Foreign Secretary Won Kuehlmann's
resignation had the worst possible
effect at home and abroad and it shows
itself to be victory of conquest and
power politicians. HIS speech had a
bad effect only on those who do not
want peace by understanding. 1t also
dlspleased the supreme army com
mand"
Herr Schcidemann complained that
the Relchstag was not consulted over
the change in the Foreign Office anc
concluded:
I'VE miss unamb guous statements
regarding the home and foreign policy. ,

Britain to Give
Colonies Voice
In Peace Pact
God of Brute Force Must
Be Broken" Lloyd
George Says

LONDON, July 13.-Thc govern
ments Of the British dominions will
nave voice in determining the terms
OF peace, according to Mr. Lloyd
George. The Prime Minister made
this statement in a speech at dinner
given in honor of the Canadian editors
who are visiting England, at which
Lord Beaverbrook was the host.
This is q war in which we engaged
the empire" said the Premier, "when
we had no time to consult the domin-
ions as to policy, and it is perfectly
true that the policy which we adopted
to protect small nations in Europe was
a policy embarked upon without any
consultation with the dominions. But
you approved Of it. Hencefortn you
have the right to be consulted as to
the policy beforehand, and this is the
change which has been effected as a
result of the war.
"Thc contributions which you have
made to enforce these treaties have
given you the undeniable right to n
voice in fashioning the policy which
may commit you, and for that reason
an imperial war cabinet is reality.
Another point in which you must
have voice is the settlement of the
conditions of peace. We have discussed
war aims and the conditions under
at the War Cabinet. We arrived at an
agreement on the subject last year with
the representatives of the Dominions
and we shall reconsider the same prob
lens in the light of events which have
occurred since-and we shall recon
slider the whole of these problems, I
have no doubt, in the course of the next
few weeks.
Canada and Australia and New Zea-
land, yes, and Newfoundland-th they
have all contributed their share of
equal voice with the representatives of
these islands-will determine the con-
ditions under which we are prepared to
make peace. Unless | am mistaken, we
arc pretty we'll in agreement upon
them.
eve in this country, who have lost
hundreds of thousands and have had
millions manned, and you in Canada,
whose casualties have amounted to
scores of thousands, and Australia,
who has also played her share in these
thlngs-we are not making these sac
rifices in order to establish fraud
ou llilS edItll, anu aHytniHg leSS lnail
a real peace will be defrauding not
this generation, but the next genera
tion; it will be defrauding humanity.
"rhere must be no hugger- -mugger
peace. 1t must be a real peace. We
are not waging war for the sake of
killing or of being killed, but for the
sake of establishing Just and durable
peace for the world. You cannot make
peace unless it is both just and likely
to endure.
Germany has waged three wars, and
each time she has added through
those wars to her strength, to her
power, to her guidance, to her inf1u-
cnce, and each successive war she has
waged has inevitably encouraged her
on to the next. If she had had one
check she would not have had this
war. If this war succeeds in adding
one square yard to her territory, of
adding one cubit to her stature, of
adding single iota to her strength,
it will simply raise their idea of Mill
tarism, for which the world is being
sacrificed at the present time.

time forever be brogen and burnt in

Belgium Held as Palun Only
Hertling Told Reichstae

Copenhagen, July 13.--A German
official telegram received here to-day
says:
with regard to the statements made
on Thursday by the Imperial Chancel-
lor in the main committee of the Reich
stag regarding Belgium, view has
spread among the public which may
give rise to misunderstanding. We are,
therefore, giving in full that part Of
the Chancellor's speech. He said:
The present possession of Belgium
only means we have a pawn for future
negotiations. We have no intention to
keep Belgium in any form watever.
"By the expression pawn is meant
that one does not intend to keep what
one has in ones hand as a pawn if
negotiations bring a favorable result"

Baker Gets Baseball
"Work or Fight" Case
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune>
WASHINGTON. July 13.-The case
of Eddie Ainsmith. catcher of the
Washington American League team,
now before Secretary Of War Baker for
consideration, is the first "work or
fight" test of professional baseball
players presented to the War Depart
ment.
Secretary Baker said to-day he had
not investigated the contention of
Catcher Ainsmith for deferred classifi-
cation and was not prepared to indicate
whether men in the baseball fraternity
would be affected in the regulations.
While Secretary of War Baker is
baseball as sport, and regrets that
the military requirements of the coun-
try must include the thousands of
players who are of draft age, he has
said that each case will be considered
solely on its merits and will not be in
ffuenced by any opinion held by him.
He will consider the case of ball play
ers, not only from the standpoint Of
the player himself, but will also seek
to ascertain if the drafting of players
will cause serious interruption of the
SPOiC anu ISouiC III HllduCIdl lOSS W
club owners.
1t is maintained by owners of ball
clubs that baseball should be consid-
cred in the same category as the the
atrical profession, and that the govern
ment should not lose sight of the fact
that thousands of dollars annually go
to the government through war tax on
tickets, and that clubs endeavor to as
sist the Red Cross and other patriotic
enterprises in their campaign for funds.
1t also will be advanced that ball
players in off seasons are to large ex-
tent engaged in useful occupations and
their draft into the service will be un-
Just. One way out of the difficulty that
is believed to be entertained by the
War Department is the suggestion that
the players of draft age be allowed to
continue the sport during the playing
season of 1918 and at its termination
take their places with other men sub
ject to military service, on the basis
of their winter occupation

To Decide Its Fate
Four Nations Answer Plans
of English Workers and
Agree to Programme

NORTHAMPTON, July 13.-Arthur
Henderson, labor leader and former
member Of the British Wax Cabinet
speskng to-day at labor conference
here. said the British Labor party last
month had succeeded in getting its
statement of war aims into the hands
Of the Socialists of enemy countries
and that four replies thus far had been
received.
"The first reply came from the Bull
earian Socialists, who accepted practi-
cally all the general points of our
memorandum, reserving some unim
portant points regarding Macedonia -
he said.
"The second reply came from the
Hungarian workers, who have submit
ted to the Stockholm committee a state
ment of policy much on the lines OF
our memorandum.
"The third reply came from the Aus
trian Socialists, who accepted the prin-
cples of the inter-Allied memorandum
as a basis for discussion. They in
dorsed our conception Of federal sys-
tenn for Austria Hungary and similar
system for the Balkan states.
They declared that they had always
repudiated the BrestLitovsk peace
treaty, and they agreed that Alsace-
Lorraine and Italian. Polish and colo
NAL questions must be solved in ac-
cordance with the desires Of the peo-
pies concerned.
"The fourth reply came from the
German minority Socialists, who sub
mitted statement to the Stockholm
committee on the lines of the inter
Allied memorandum.
The fifth. and the most significant
reply came from the German majority
Socialists, who endeavored to send it by
Troelstra, but the action of the Allies
in refusing passports to Troelstra pre-.
vented the written document from
reaching US. Nevertheless, we received
a summary which shows that the Ger
man majority Socialists declared their
willingness to take part in an inter
national conversation on the basis OF
the proposals made by the neutral So
calsts.
1T also seems clear that the German
majority Socialists accept virtually all
the principals of the inter-Allied mem
orandum. They are ready to discuss
even the question of the responsibility
for the war, although they think tha,
no good purpose would be served there
by They are ready to discuss Belgium
and Alsace- Lorraine and believe thai
an amicable solution can be found
They agree to complete restoration O.
Belgium independence. They urge tha

they declare themselves in favor of :
