MhS. BUTLER RETURNS
 SEEKING HER HUSBAND
Says Former Pastor Has Refused to Support Her or Live With
 Her.

Little Rock, July 25.-Mrs. H. F. Buhler, formerly Miss Lily Mathews, has returned to Little Rock in the wake of her rebellious husband, for merly prominent church pastor here, who. she says, has refused to live with her or support her.
 She has not given up hope, howev- CT, and efforts to affect reconcilia- tion are being made. In event the efforts are futile MT. Buhler is to be made defendant in suit in which the courts will be asked to compel him to support her. Fred Snodgrass Mrs. Buhler's attorney, said.
 There was a conference of minis ters scheduled for Thursday afternoon at which MT. Buhler was to be asked to attend, and at which the proposal was to be made that he support his wife. Up to the present, however, in tervention, friendly and otherwise, has borne no fruit.
 Mrs. Buhler Thursday morning declined to talk on her alleged refuta- tion of a letter written from Mem phis, and to which her name was signed repudiating iharges against MT. Buhler and. saying that the charges against him constituted a frame up" into which she had been forced and which had been con- cocted to stain Buhler's name and re- putation.
 , She said she was unwilling to say anything at this time to further a. tagonize her. husband, as she hoped that reconciliation would be brought about. :. MT. Buhler married Mrs. Buhler when faced with criminal charge resulting from their alleged rela- tions. When he consented to marry her the criminal charge was not pressed. It has been said that unless MT. Buhler supports his wife the State may take hand and that an indictment charging him with wife abandonment may be asked.

SENATOR'S SMASH
 KAlSER'S HOPES
 FOR PEACE MOVE
Nothing but Absolute Vic tory for Allies Will End
 War, They Declare.

Washington, July 25.-Possibil- ities of peace offensive were dis cussed in the senate today at the semi-weekly session. All senator's who spoke declared the crushing defeat of Germany was necessary before peace could be considered.
 Senator Lewis, of Illinois, warned Americans against "new professions of peace and false propaganda" from Germany. t
 That another peace offer from Germany is en route through Italian sources also was stated by Senator Lewis. "There IS information in this community" said Senator Lewis, 'tthat suggestions have been made through Italy and soon will be made known through proper diplomatic sources. Germany's proposition is that she vii tender Belgium Rum- ania, and Serbia, concessions with agreement for freedom of the seas, and self government, and that she be allowed to deal as she pleases with other territory taken in what she terms her defense against Rus sia. Her object is to attain the east and to hold it, while seemingly to concede the demands fer which Amer ica, Great Britain and France have been fighting and spread the opinion that by continuing the war men are dying uselessly"
 "If allowed to hold r the eastern peoples in subjection," said Senator Lewis, "Germany's plans involve rais- ing an army of stupendous force to
