GERMANY UNABLE TO GIVE
WORKMEN INCREASED RATION

Amsterdam, Sept. 16-Her Won
Waldow, President of the German
Food Regulation Board, speaking at
a reception to the leaders of the
German trades unions said he re-
GREETED the lateness of the harvest
and that there were no sharper
means than were at present used to
get more foodstuffs.
The corn crop Won Waldow said.
was only Is per cent. better than
that of last year, and the potato
crop was probably worse. The pro-
visioning of industries, he added,
would improve from Oct. /. A full
bread ration would certainly be re-
stored, but he said he could not hold
out any prospect for an increase in
the potato ration, as unfayorable
weather had injured the crop.
Meatless weeks must continue, the
speaker said, in order not to en-.
danger the milk and fat supply
Unfortunately he was unable to hol
out any prospect Of an improve
ment in the food supply, but he was
quite positive that it would not get
worse.
Herr Lenien, a member of the
Reichstag, who was one of the dep
utation, replying Herr Won Waldow,
said that in view of the hopeless in
formation he gave regarding the
food supply the workers could not
continue to work the number of
hours that they are now working.

VON BUREN, SENT PEACE PRO-
POSAL ON ORDER CHARLES
GERMAN BREWERS
BUY BIG NEWPAPERS

Harrisonburg, Penn, Sept. 16.-
A. Mitchell Palmer, Custodian of
Allen Property, speaking before the
Democratic State Committee, de-
clared Saturday that the liquor in
tereets we're seeking to control pol
itics and public opinion. Facts will
soon be made public, he said, to
show conclusively that twelve or fif-
teen German brewers of American
States Brewers Association, fur
nished severtl hundred thousand
dollars "to buy a great newspaper in
one of the chief cities of thenation.
The publisher of the newspaper, he
continued, worked in the very shad-
ow of the Capitol at Washington in
the intereshts of liquor. The money
was provided in way designed to
keep secret forever the names of
those who furnished it.
Mr. Palmer, after his speech, re-
fused to divulge any facts regarding
the transaction. He said he could
not talk further amout the matter.
He appeared here Saturday as Dem
ocratic National Committeeman
from Pennsylvania and sat in the
committee by proxy. With him ap-
peared National Chairman Vance C.
Mccormick Both men at a recent
meeting of the committee repudiat-
ed Judge Eugene c. Bonniwell, Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor of
Pennsylvania, and the committee
Saturday upheld their stand by in
dorsing all other Democratic State
candidates except Bonniwell.

successes have undoubtedly improv-
ed their spirit, which is comprehen-
sible, for after four years the Ger
man armies have retreated and
American help has come, and that
has sufficed to encourage the French
people so that they no longer talk
of peace. England and France have
good ground not to reject peace
thoughts, but to propagate them.
In England the people perceive that
Americas entrance into the war has
changed wrold power. Before the
war England was the firts power
Now America is still the second
power, but is on the road to be-
coming the first power. England
cannot win SO much in the war as
she can lose if she is driven from
her position by America. That is
the real reason why Lansdowne gets
busy. Lansdowne's group is strong
and gets stronger daily.
"But America also has great in
terest in bringing about peace.
Sometimes it is said that Wilson is a
theoretician. That is a ridiculous
assertion; on the contrary, Wilson,
is a first-class practical man. He
makes the American policy, and he
sees that it would be advantageous
for America to have peace as soon as
possible. During the war and as
long as international questions are
decided by arms Americas special
position is endangered
by U-boats and airplanes. These
weapns will continue to make pro-
gress, and then, America will lose
her extraordinarily favorable position
to European powers. The
economical life of America is also en-
dangered by the world war. They
have great interest in preparing for
the end and bringing about world
peace"

Washington Not Ready

Washington, Sept. 116.-Gprma-
ny's latest peace feeler advanced
through Austria it was officially
stated yesterday, best finds it's an
swer in President Wilson's Balti-
more speech delivered last April.
Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
and triumphant force which shall
make right thelaw of the world and
cast every selfish dominion down in
the dust"
That was the Presidents answer
then, and it was reiterated yester-
day; it is his answer now.
No one doubts that it is the an
swer of all the Allies.
While Austrias proposal, report.
ed Saturday night from Amsterdam
had not reached Washington in Off
cial form last night, it is expected
hourly through some neutral-pos-
sibly Sweden-and in it is recigniz-
ed the long ehralded peace often
sive upon which Germany is count
ing to arouse enough sentiment for
peace among the people of the AL
lied countries to compel an en- dnd
of the war on terms which substan-
TALLY would presedve Prussian con-
quest.
The allied leaders recoznize it as
an effort by Germany to obtain the
best terms possible.
There will be no round table con-
ference, no sounding out process
such as Germany proposes, and
which she hopes will give opportuni-
ty probably to deal with her enemies
separately.
If any reply at all is made it will
be after an exchange of views be-
tween the United States and the 9TH
er co-belligerents so that reply for
all may be made in one. On every
side, among American officials ana
Allied diplomats, it seemed agreed
that the only ground on which Ger
many may have d conference is the
acceptance of the principles laid
down by President Wilson and which
have been accepted by all the Allies
as their watchword.
American officials have been not
ing for some time the various steps
that have led up to the proposition
for meeting at some neutral point
of delegates from all the belligerent
countries to enter into "non-binding
discussions" with view to bringing
about peace.
From German and Austrian offic-
ials of high rank, from the German
emperor himself down to the vice
chancellor of Germany, within the
last fortnight have come public ut
terances, differing widely in their
tone and scope, but by singular CO.
