GERMAN PEACE
DRIVE PREDICTED
A Returned Correspondent
Warns Against Effort to
Be Made
PLAUSIBLE AND.
INSIDIOUS TALK
Propaganda Will Have for its Purpose.
Creation of Belief Among Americans
That Germany is Ready to Make Con-
cessions-Kill it When it Starts.

NEW YORK, Aug 30.-Floyd Glib
bons, war correspondent for the Chicago
Tribune, who was wounded when he
went over the top with the marines at
Chateau Thierry and is now in this
country, predicts that the coming win
ter will witness the greatest German
peace offensive thus far launched.
1.-The next German peace offensive
will be put out in most attractive
FORM he said recently. cit will be
plausible and insidious. The offensive
will not be launched through diplomatic
channels. The Germans will try to
create a sentiment in this country for
peace. They will start afresh the whis-
pering propaganda which is stills going
on to some extent. s III
People will Be led to believe that
Germany will be ready to give up the
occupied portions of France, Belgium,
pnd renounce claim to Alsace.Lorraine.
Now that the tide is turned, the Ger
mans, in the next peace, offensive, will
aim to have the people in the allied ma
tions say that the time has come, when
after four years of warfare and the
shedding of much blood, it would be
better to talk things over. That is the
thing we must steel ourselves against.
We must beware of our American
Lansdownes. The peace takers will
possibly be able to muster up some
well-known men, but that ought to
make no difference as far as the real
feelings of the people are concerned
'tThe men out there arc not afraid of
what is 10 come. They know that the
supply of comrades in arms and of
equipment will continue, but what they
are afraid of is that the people back
home may be persuaded to believe the
insidious whispering peace propaganda
that is 10 be launched this winter, and
even before the winter sets in.
. If the people of this country to any
extent are apparently convinced that
there is anything in the German peace
offensive the men in the American ex-
peditionary forces win be greatly dis.
appointed. 1t will be blow to them as
bad in effects on their morale as the loss
of battle. The army knows that Ger
many is beaten now Make no mistake
about that. The ginger and Initiative OF
! the American soldier has astonished the
world. But it did not surprise America
We always knew what the American
soldier was and what he would do wher
he had a chance to demonstrate his abil
tiles. The men in the allied armies know
today that they are entitled to peace
| by dictation and they will not be salts
fled by less.

SENATE VOTES BONE
DRY NATION JULY /
House Expected to Take Similar Action
Within Short Time-For the
Duration of War.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3o.-A bone
dry nation after June 80, 1919, for the
remainder of the war and the period of
rehabilitation to follow is guaranteed
under the rider 10 the food production
stimulation bill, which passed the SEN
ate late. yesterday without record
vote. -
This action by the senate followed
five hours of debate, which by reason
of the fact that the success of the
measure was foregone conclusion
held lIttlee interest for the floor, al
though the galleries were well filled.
Yesterday s action by the senate is
expected to find a prompt and enthusi-
astic echo in the house, where the pres
ent movement for war time prohibition
was. initiated in the.-adopfion of the
Randall amendment. The house, il
is known, is practically ready to accept
any prohibition law which will provide
the opportunity for the legislators from
dry communities to go back to the
affirmative the question from the heck
lers, Z" Did YOU vote for prohibition?
The neglect of the senate to put it,
self on record by roll call was pre-
dicted, it is alleged, upon taeit agree
ment not to force the Legislators tt
"stand up and be counted" No one
could be found who was willing Il
charge that the senate had actually
! lodged the issue in this fashion, but il
was only through a protraeted season
of agreements and counter agreement.
that bitter fight was avoided.
As eorollary to the amendment thu
senate accepted a further amendmen
giving the President complete powe-
to decree prohibition zones of sucl

The death Of Charles Baer, after a
few days illness Of influenza, noted
in last weeks issue Of The Bulletin,
brought profound sorrow to the mem
bers Of Plumbers and Gasfitters Union
No. 3, of which he was n long and
valued member. The deceased was a
representative in the Colorado legis-
lature, and served with distinction
during the regular and special ses-
sions this year. No meeting of No. 8
being permitted by reason of the
health board ban against all assem-
blages, a committee of the union
drafted the following memorial reso-
lutions:

Finally, after much travelling about, he was sent to port of authorization and steamed out of New York harbor, bound for lover there.' His service on the other side was full of action. He participated in the battle of the Mouse, and was at Argonne. His experiences have been indeed thrilling. He acted for while as a runner" or courier, carrying messages from the front back to the rear under heavy shell fire. His busi- ness was not wholly that of carrying messages however. He is credited with sixteen Germans, capturing them in the face of heavy machine gun fire. He states that nearly all the members of his company had been either killed or wounded.

Washington, April 11.-Further
disclosures of German propaganda in
the United States were made today
before the senate judiciary committee
investigating the German American
alliance.
Senator King, the chairman. read
a letter from John f. Coar Of tho
University Of Alberta, in which Coar
said that in 1912 on visit to Ger.
many he was informed that no less
than thirty-siX German agents had
been sent to the United States an
nually for the six years preceding his
visit. The duties of the agents were
not mentioned
While he was in Germany. Coar
said, representatives of German or
CARNATIONS asked him to aid in fur
thering law in the United states
which would enable German immi-
grants "to retain their supreme allie
glance to the German empire.
