FOE SHIFT OF WAR.
BLAME SURPRISE

WASHINGTON, June 25. - The
speech of Foreign Secretary Won
Kuehlmann before the Reichtag in
which he laid chief blame for the war
to Russia was read in official and dip
lomatic circles here with some degree
Of surprise and establishment.
The question which Immediately oc.
Cured to all officially was the under
lying motive for the sudden shift OF
blame from England to Russia and
the placing OF England third in the
order of liability, and France next to
Russia.
Such statement in contradiction
of all the German official arguments
heretofore diplomats thought might
foreshadow some further move. pos
sibly to test out the sentiment of the
allies on peace and probably to create
some discussion among them. AS with
other moves Of German diplomacy it
was viewed most cautiously.
Some observers think Germany at
last has become convinced that it is
with England and America that she
must deal in peace negotiations and
is paving the way for elimination of
the "straffing" Of England. These OBJ
servers believe the Germans feel safe
in practically ignoring the other en-
tente powers confident in their ability
to deal with them separately If Eng
land and America can be brought to
see the advantage to themselves of
accepting such peace terms that Ger
many Is prepared to offer.

IRISH POLICY
RAISED AGAIN
(By Associated Press)


LONDON, June 25.-An important
debate was opened in the house OF
commons today by Sir Edward Car
son. the Ulster leader, who in accord
ance with a previous arrangement,
raised the whole question of the gov
ernment's policy in Ireland with spe-
cial reference to the recent proclama-
ton of the lord lieutenant and the re-
cruiting movement.
The occasion had been awaited with
much interest as it was known that
Edward Short would make his first
speech as chief secretary for ireland,
while it was also expected generally
that Premier Lloyd George would
have an important declaration regard
ing home rule and conscription
Anticipation that the Irish Nation
alists would avail themselves of the
occasion and return to Westminster
after an absence of several weeks was
not fulfilled and the debate lacked
some interest on that account. The
Nationalist, however, have no inten-
ton of making their withdrawal from
parliament permanent. John Dillon,
the Irish leader, declared Monday that
they would return when the anti-con-
scription conference in Dublin had
concluded it's sittings and a favorable
moment had arrived
Several members fayoring the estab-
lishment Of federal governments with
in the United Kingdom were notified
to submit and resolution for the ere.
alton OF such subordinate legislation
and the premier will receive. during
the day deputation of members, rep
resenting all parties who support the
proposed measure.

Local Freight Offices Expert
ence Little Confusion as Re-
suit of Increase.

Although the increase Of 25 percent
in rates for many classes Of freight,
which was ordered by w. G. McAdoo
TO take effect Monday night, has en-.
tailed a good deal of extra work, the
Richmond freight office and shippers
have fallen into line without much
confusion.
AS complete rate sheets have not
been sent to the division offices yet
the freight office employees have had
to figure out the new rates on the Is
percent basis. which has made an i'm.
mense amount Of work besides ans
wering many inquiries as to the prop
er classification under the new rates.
This has called for extra handling of
freight and will slow up the office
for time.
Richmond shippers are complying
with the new rates and seem to be
willing to let the government work
out good transportation policy.
The increase according to officials
here. is uniform with few exceptions.
Lumber, coal and brick are not rated
at as high an increase as other freight.
These are rated an increase Of from
10 to Is percent.

day. The recent advance ordered by

creased operating costs, resultant
from the increase in wages to railroad
workers became effective last mid
night and became applicable to all
freight billed for transit after that
hour. Freight in transit when the
new rates became effective will be
carried at the old rate.
AS most Of the short line railroads
not under government management
have filed new schedules with the
interstate commerce commission. car
rying rates conforming to those order
ed by Director General McAdoo, the
rate increase today practically was
universal.
The new rates apply both to inter.
state and intra-state shipments. Spe-
cif1c advances are made for coal, coke,
ores, stone, brick. grain, cotton, live
stock, meats, sugar and other COM
modities shipped in large quantities,
and for export and import rates.

''HUN SOLDIERS
TIRED OF war;
PEOPLE PATIENT
Former Berlin University Pro-
fessor Tells of Conditions in
Germany.
(ny Associated Pressl


COPENHAGEN, June 25.-The Ger
man soldiers generally are tired OF
the war. but the patience Of the people
as a whole. especially the middle
classes, Is marvellous in view Of the
prevalent unfavorable conditions, Dr.
G. F. n. Nicolai, former professor OF
physiology at the University OF Berlin.
said when questioned today regarding
conditions in Germany.
Prof. Nicolai was one OF the men
who escaped from Germany last week
In airplanes, landing in Denmark.
In official circles, continued Prof.
Nicolai. the war Is expected to last q
long time yet, but among the people
the opinion Is expressed by many that
the present offensive on the western
front will be decisive. While the peo-
pie generally are patient. at the Same
time they are anxious for peace. the
professor declared.
Food Conditions Very Bad.
Food conditions in the empire are
extremely bad, Prof Nicolai reports.
AS against the disappointment from
the failure Of the Ukraine supplies to
come up to expectations, however.
some encouragement had been receiv-
Gu lTOIu Tue TeC9ut rains, WHICH IL was
hoped would result in the production
of better crops at home than last
year.
Nothing appears in the German pa
pers, the professor stated, regarding
the many effective enemy air raids
upon German cities.
Robbery Greatly Increases.
Owing to the scarcity of all kinds Of
commodities, robberies and burglaries
have greatly increased, and even in
the first-class hotels the guests do not
venture to leave their clothing or
shoes outside their doors for cleaning.
AS for soap, one finds it necessary,
the professor said, to keep 1t in ones
pockets.
Although taxes are constantly in
creasing, Prof. Nicolai said, the pay
ment of the interest on the war loans
is not covered, and it is expected that
in future only percent of the interest
on the percent loans will be dis
bursed, the remainder being added to
the principal Of the loan.

Are you going to save sugar or

Are you going to use the smallest
