The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-06-29

The Cubs have turned out to be a
mighty expensive proposition. Presi-
dent Weeghman and his partners
have spent bags of money to promote
the team in Chicago. They paid
100000 for thief ranchise in 1916,
and an additional $4,000 for players
that failed to make good. Since last
fall the Cub owners have spent $780,
600 for Alexander and Killefer; $12,-
600 for Tyler; $4,000 for Hollocher
andeS10, 900 for Barber. Up to this
season the Cubs have lost a lot OF
money in operating expenses, SO that
when the pennant races began in
Aphil it was roughly estimated that
the Chicago magnates were at least
$1,000 in the hole. The Cubs. how
ever, are now drawing profitable gate
receipts everywhere and if they con-
tinue on top the owners stand a good
chance OF coming out almost even.

Haven dropped another heart break
ing struggle to Providence this even

by Nutter. Providence punched hits

JUSTICE GOULD, ON 18th

Court Recessed, He Hears Argu-

at Odds,

Ashley M. Gould, associate justice
of the Supreme Court of the District
Of Columbia, is fifty-nine years old to-
day.
Although the courts were in recess
by reason of the epidemic. Justice
Gould spent a portion of his birthday
sitting as arbitrator in a difference
between two individuals who did not
care to air their difficulties in court.
The parties called at the home of the
justice and there submitted to him the
question about which they were at
odds.
Justice Gould said there would be
no celebration of his birthday. He
was trying to keep it as quiet as pos
sible," he said.
The justice has as his guest today
Capt. Charles Brewer, his brother-in-
law. Capt. Brewer has just been re-

q. S. HOUSING HEAD TESTIFIES

Replying to criticisms regarding the
cost-plus system Of constructing gov
ernment buildings made on the floor
of the House last week by Repre-
sentative Good Of Iowa. Otto M Eid-
litz, director Of the United States Hous-
ing Corporation, appeared today before
the House committee on public buildings
and grounds.
Mr.. Eidlitz explained that under their
system the contractor does not get an
advantage through the cost-plus sys-
tenn. The housing corporation in let
ting a contract estimates the approx
innate cost Of construction and on this
the contractor gets percentage free.
which then becomes fixed, so that If
the cost of construction exceeds the
estimate the contractor gets no per-
centage of the increased cost over the
estimated cost.
This has a particularly local interest
because the temporary buildings now
being erected in Washington were d-
rectly referred to in criticism of the
cost-plus system and again by Mr..
Eidlitz in his reply.

PEACE OFFER IS ELUCIDATED
:: BY NEWSPAPERS IN VIENNA
Described as Development of Plan Started
: December, 1916, and Not fastened
= by Recent Military Defeats.

AMSTERDAM. October 7.-An eluci-
dation of the peace offer of the CEN
trail powers is published by the Vienna
newspapers. The article. which is ex-
planned as emanating from well in
formed circles" reads as follows:
1T is first to be emphasized that
this step by Austria-Hungary.T Turkey
and Germany is not to be regarded
as decision taken suddenly under
stress of military events. 1t consti-
tutes rather in the history of our
peace policy the last link in the chain
of a logical and continual evolution.
regard being paid at the same time
to the latest internal political de-
velopmentS in Germany. AS is known.
the point of departure of our peace
policy was Baron Burian's note Of
December. 1915. The step then taken
was of a very vague character. The
conditions were not described but
only indicated in broad lines.
Development Of Idea.
TN the course of the development
the conditions have become crystal
HEED. During February. March and
April expressions regarding a general
and just peace without annexations
or compensation came into currency"
Development of Idea.
"Subseauently the idea of estab-
fishing an international court of ar
bitratior and reduction Of arma-
ment was discussed and, further, the
principle of freedom of the seas was
L.
was set forth that economic wars and
economic oppression after the war
must be prevented. Out of these
guiding principles arose the present
peace program.
"All these points it will be recalled.
were accepted by Count Czernin (for-
mer Austrian foreign minister) in
speeches and interviews as a suitable
basis TO peace negotiations. and final
ly received the approval also of the
German reichstag, SO that uniformity
in the conception of the allies (Teu-
tonic) thereby found expression.
Pope's Peace Note Followed.
'aThen followed the peace note of
Pope Benedict, whose proposals and
fundamental ideas were accepted by
us as forming an acceptable basis.
Only President Wilson in his note of
January 8. 1918. in his fourteen points
made proposals and proclaimed prin-
ciples which substantially accorded
with the program of the central pow
erS.
Count Czernin and Count Won
Hertling described President Wilson's
proposals. apart from a reserve re-
gardint, certain points, as a suitable
basis for peace. The Austro- -Hunga-
rian delegations and the German
reichstag have described their atti-
tude toward these proposals in
similar manner. 1t should be noted
also that it was always President
Wilson who occupied himself with a
concrete peace program, while the
entente adhered to it's intentions Of
conquest. Then scame Baron Burian'S

ROME. October Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, who is here with a delesa-
ton of American labor leaders, strong
ly denounced the recent peace move
of the central powers. saying that the
new German maneuver seeks to weak

last prospect for preliminary dis
cussion by the belligerent powers.
The proposal was rejected by
President Wilson, not, however, with
the intention of cutting off peace
discussions, because in his speech of
September 81, he again reverted to
it and in an objective manner set
forth the necessity Of a just peace
"a peace that would not be one-sid-
ed but just to both sides, and thus
fulfill the principle of high justice to
all.
AT this moment Of the proclama-
ton of this principle of equal justice
TOR all parties it became clear that
1T was possible in this manner to
come near to attaining peace, be-
cause the principle of the elimination
of any one-sided preference pro-
vides for the solution of a group of
difficult questions

Internal Changes in Germany.

'In the consideration of the further
circumstance that, owing to the in
ternal political change in Germany,
certain difficulties were cleared out
OF the way, it became clear that a
uniform decision of the central pow
ers regarding peace could be effected.
On this day of the new German gov
ernment's entering office we are in
position to undertake a step which
reaches as far back as the beginning
Of 1917.
This step was not born of the
events of the moment. but continually
had won its way through in the
course of a natural development.
I'm the circumstances we expect our
step will lead to rapprochement and
discussion. At the same time in eN-
how the entente and President Vii.
son will view this step. 1t is, how
over, politically justified on the
ground alone that President Wilson
represents the sole power not po-
litically bound to the entente
Evening star., 1918-10-08
Not Request for Mediation.

I'm formal manner it is also point
ed out that our step is not to be in
terpreted as a request for mediation.
This is out of the question, as only a
neutral could act as mediator. We ap-
proach President Wilson, because the
points formulated by him represent a
basis on which we could negotiate.
Our step will assuredly be regarded
generally as one of great historic mo-
ment. In the note it is expressed with
full clearness that the much calum-
mated central powers are pursuing no
imperialistic policy, and, moreover
these conditions are in full accord
with their program of defense.
Should our proposal not be accept
ed, then our opponents will have to
undertake full responsibility. The
note is presented separately because
the allies (Teutonic) are represented
in America by protecting state-we by
Sweden. Germany by Switzerland.
The note at this moment has already
been handed to the American minis
ters at Stockholm and Bern"
The Burian note of December, 1916,
referred to was that in which the
Austro-Hungarian government con-
jointly with Germany, Turkey and
Bulgaria addressed the entente allies
through the neutral powers, offering
to negotiate for peace on terms which
were not stated
