GERMANY VERY ANXIOUS FOR PEACE.
PUTS OUT FEELER THROUGH AUSTRIA.
Despairing of Peace Through Force of Arms, Huns
Try to Save the Pieces Through Negotiation

Amsterdam, Sept. 16.--In extending
an invitation to all the belligerent
governments to enter into a non-bind-
ing discussion at some neutral meet
ing place, the Austro-Hungarian gov
ernment states that the object of the
conference would be an exchange of
views which would show whether
those prerequisites exist which would
make the speedy inauguration of
peace negotiations appear promising"
The Austrian proposal which is an
nounced in an official communication
telegraphed 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 call for all the bel,ig-
erents to send delegates for "confi-
Dental and unbinding discussion on
the basic principles for the conclusion
of peace in place in neutral coun-
try and at near date that would yet
have to be agreed upon"
The proposal says the conference

U-BOATS RETURN TO
THE AMERICAN COAST
British Ship is attacked Eighty
Miles From the Atlantic Sea-
board-Uninjured

An Atlantic Port Sept. 15.--A Brit
ish passenger ship arrived here today
reports beilss saellsd b. ass.ls
inc eighty miles off the coast early to-
day.
The Britisher escaped uninjured.
Five shots were fired by the SUBJ
marine at the ship which is in the
transport service and was bringing
home ninety-six injured Canadian OIL
GERS. More of the shells struck the
vessel. The first screamed across the
starboard bow, struck the water be-
yond and exploded harmlessly. In
stantly the captain altered his course
and slowed down. The second missile
passed over the port bow and the next
three struck the waves astern.
Though the ship was armed the cap
tain ordered the crew not to respond
to the fire, determined to rely on speed
and the low visibility for escape. AS
soon as the shells began to fall be-
hind her he rang for full speed ahead
and the liner leaped away in the murk.
The U-boat then ceased firing.
During shelling perfect discipline
was maintained on the steamer. After
the fog closed around her she cont;n-
ued her voyage without further Incl
dent.

RATS IN THE TRENCHES
SAID TO BE DOOMED
"Stars and Stripes" Tells of Work of
Eradicating Rodents of the
Battle Lines

Washington, D. c., Sept. 16.-The
"Stars and Stripes" the newspaper
published for the American expedi-
tionary forces in France, recen,i y
printed the following regarding the
work of former members of the SCI
entific staff of the biological survey,
United States department of agricul-
ture. r ~
"As you have heard five or eleven
times already, this is a scientific war.

said that the research work is in

"The rat, figuratively, is about to
be trapped. A year or so ago there
was mana member of the biologi-

Iextreminating the prairie dogs out in

Will be No Peace Conference.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Germany's
latest peace feeier, advanced through
Austria, it was officially stated, best
finds it's answer in President Wilson's
Baltimore speech delivered last April.
"Force! Force to the utmost, force
without stint, or limit, the righteous
and triumphant froce which shall
make right the law of the world, and
cast every selfish dominion down in
the dust"
That was the presidents answer
then and it is his answer now.
No one doubts that it is the answer
Of the allies.
In Austria's proposal is recognized
the long-heralded peace offensive up
on which Germany is counting to
arouse enough sentiment for peace
among the peoples of the allied coun-
tries to compel an end of the war on
terms which substantially would pre-
serve the Prussian conquest. The. al
lied leaders recognize it as an effort
by Germany to obtain the best terms
possible.
There will be no round table con-
ference, such as Germany proposes
and such as she hopes will give oppor-
tunity probably to deal with her enc
mics separately.
If any reply at all is made, it will
be after an exchange of views be-
tween the United States and the other
co-belligerents, so that reply for all
may be made in one.

be charged to make known TO one an
other the conception of their govern

TO receive analogous communications

and candid explanations on all those
points which need to be precis-.y de-
fined"

note embodying its suggestions ha4
been addressed to the various b2lIig-
erent powers and that the holy see
had been apprised Of the proposal in
a special note. The governments CT

Y. NC. A: Sec'y
Disregards Bullets
Attends Wounded

Paris, Sept. 13.-Repeatedly expos
ing himself to terrific shellfre, giving
first aid to the wounded and going
without rest or food that he might
help those on the firing line with Gig
arettes and sweets, were only few
of the things that won the personal
commendation of battalion COM
mander for Stephen R. Brown, of st.
Louis, Y. M. C. A. secretary.
The battalion commander writes:
"On a recent severe engagement,
Stephen R. Brown displayed undaunt-I
edd courage by time and again expos
ing himself during terrific shellfre,
Employed during the whole of one
night at medical station, the follow
ing afternoon he brought up gas
masks travelling across a shellswept
area in full view of the enemy. He
administered treatment to the wound
ed. His fearlessness and untlring en-
deavors came under my direct lobser7
walton.
"I cannot speak too highly of his
spirit of self-sacrifce, his bravery and
his calm disregard of all dangers. He
supplied men in the first line with
cigarettes and chocolate, even visit
ing advanced observation posts, help
ing all men he found. The gratitude
of the officers and men of my organi-
zation toward him knows no bounds.
"He later assisted in the disposal of
the dead. In every possible way that
he could, he assisted, refusing to go to
the rear until the troops were relieved,
though he had not slept nor eaten for
many hours"

SUBMITS TO "COOTIES"
TO HELP OUR SOLDIERS
Former Chicago Official Lends His
Body to Aid Research of Govern
ment Entomologists.

Washington, D. C. Sept. 16.-There
is in Washington a man nconspicu-
loasag sieissg his ls'ss 81 his all, FOR his
country by serving as a "host" fo,
body lice, the "cootics" of the wal
zone. He is cooperating, in a very
personal and intimate degree, with en-
tomologists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture who are
striving, under the direction of the
council of research of the council of
national defense, to find preventives
and exterminators for the pests thai
not only annoy and irritate American
soldiers, but that spread trench fever
and other diseases among them.
This man formerly served the city
of Chicago in a public capacity. He
has son with the American expedi-
tionary forces in France, and when he
volunteered to be a subpect in the ex-
perimental work Of the entomologists
he said he was willing to do anything
that would help out the boys over
here. Valuable data in regard to the
control cf the "cootie" have been OBJ
tanned from the parasites living on his
body, and moving pictures of them
have b0en taken through a micro
scope. The pictures are to be magni-
fed ard shown at army camps before
scientists and army officers engaged
IN delousing work.
What Scientists Aim to Do.
The entonologists, in addition to
watching these particular "cooties"
and others confined in glass. tubes and
other places, are testing chemicals to
learn their destructive action on lice,
their effect on human bodies and their
penetration of clothing. Also, they are
cooperating with army officers in test
ing laundering and delousing process
es. They are trying to add to the
knowledge of how to repel, kill or
drive away the tiny parasite that to
many of our soldiers have proved
more troublesome than the Huns OF
the bullets of the Huns.
One of the scientists of the bureau
'of entomology, department of agri-
culture, also is serving as host fo1
the parasites, but in a more restricted
sense than the Chicago man. His
"cooties" are confined under the glass
top of wristlet, much like a wristlet
watch, and they pass there existence
from the egg stage to the dead adult
on the skin of his arm, and can moi
move to any other spot. Through the
glass cover the entomologist car
watch the "cooties" as they emerge
from their shells and go through all
the stages of their life cycle.
Extensive governmental efforts tc
devise ways of overcoming the para.
site evil are under way. Similar eff.
forts have been made and are being
made in practically every country that
has large armies in the field. The
war conferred attention of entomolo.
