BUILDING NONSINKABLE SHIP.
Hudson Maxim Has Plan That May
Solve Shipping Problem.

Washington. - Another nonsinkable
ship Is to be built according to designs
by Hudson Maxim, the United States
shipping board announced. The second
type of nonsinkable ship depends on
a super-buoyant apparatus installed In
any vessel The details are not re-
vealed, but 1t is different from the
sustaining device of the first invention
by f. f. Donnelly of New York, now
being tested In the Lucia.
Maxim's contrivance, it is explained,
can be placed in ship, and if 1t is
found later to be ineffective it may be
readily removed. "The Maxim device,
says the shipping board announcement
possesses many points that seem prac-
ticable"

OFFER OF PEACE BY
HUNS IS EXPECTED
DIPLOMATS BELIEVE GERMANS
PLAN TO LURE ALLIES INTO
ANOTHER BREST- -LlTOVSk.
President Wilson Being Urged by
Some of His Advisers to Declare and
Define New War Problems Which
Confront the United States.

Washington.-It Is admitted by Of
ficals here that now is the time for II
new and tempting peace offer from
Germany. They believe that such an
offer will be only bait 10 lure the en-
tente and the United States into a
Brest-I.itovsk
SO strong is this belief that the pres
ident is being urged hy some of his
advisers in foreign affairs to declare
and define the new war problems
which confront the United States and
to summon the country to their solu-
ton, in advance of any proffered temp
tation from the other side of the battle
line.
No one would pretend to say what
the president will do.
1t is authoritatively stated In quar-
ters close to him that he will not for
the present go before congress.
There are a number OF indications
that the president is studying broad
program into which enter the follow
ing factors
Motive Of Germany.
1. Should the United States by It's
silence invite n new peace offer from
Germany? Such an offer is recognized
in advance as nothing but an EFFORT to
disrupt allied morale and lighting
spirit. Apparently the president has
not decided whether it is better to
quit this game or again try to best
Hertling and Czernin at 1t by making
a declaration of war aims and peace
policies which will disrupt the central
powers more than anything they can
say will disrupt the United States.
2. Has the Russo-Japanese situa-
tion so crystalized as to permit the
United States to take a definite standY
3. How far should the president go
in admitting the deficiencies in the
United States war preparations and
summoning the manufacturers ship
I builders and trainers of soldiers TO
hasten the completion of their task?
The prediction of the peace offer
{ from Germany Is based upon an edi-
torial in the powerful government or
gan, Germania. Describing the peace
with Rumania as just punishment
for the little country's disloyalty, meg
lomania and most unscrupulous policy
of force, the editorial then says:
Warning of Editorial.
"If the chancellor in his latest
speech delivered his last warning to
| the entente, our enemies will do well
to realize that the concessions we are
ready to make will not necessarily hold
good in every future military situa-
ton"
In view of the consideration with
which President Wilson treated Pre-
mier Czernin of Austria, In his last
message-a consideration in which he
. was alone of all allied statesmen-ft Is
| predicted that CZernin may now come
6 forward with the announcement OF
what these concessions" may be IL
- detail
n The best Illustration of the change
e of heart on the part of the administra'
ton towards Czernin, however, is con
tinued in this reference to him made
by prominent official:
ut was Szernin himself" he said
. "who negotiated the peace by wh'cl
Rumania was strangled despite Ger
nin's fair words"

SLOPE COUNTY has
FLU" SPECIALIST
DURING EPIDEMIC

Fred White, county judge of Slope
county and chairman of the Red
Cross Chapter of Slope county was
also physician in chief to the whole
county when the influenza ragged
there, according to a letter received
today by H. c. Wilbur executive
secretary Of the Red Cross.
Mr. White is one of the early North
Dakota settlers. He came to the ter
ritory with his brother, Alfred White,
who was foreman on the Roosevelt
ranch in the early days, and Mr..
White knows what 1t is to face pio-
neer conditions. When the FLU"
struck Slope county there was not
a single doctor in the county to care
for the patients. 1t was the kind
of situation that the pioneer must
face constantly, the necessity to
make the best of available equip
ment in a critical emergency. Mr..
White realized that help must be
given the people who were sick and
so he personally went to physician
at Scranton, took perhaps, the short
est medical course on record, spe-
cializing In the care and treatment
OF influenza and returned to Slope
county where he triumphantly gave
the necessary care to his community
during the presence Of the epidemic.
