HUNS CAN END WAR
Daniels Says Force is Only Language
to Use Now.

Annapolis, Md, Sept. 19.-Mllitary
success is the only argument German
militarists can understand, Secretary
Daniels declared here yesterday,
speaking at the graduation exercises
at the Naval Academy, when GAG new
ensigns received their commissions
after an intensive ten-week course OF
study.
"The attention of the world in the
past few days." Mr.. Daniels sald'
"has been centered on four things.
First, the victories of the allied forces,
eliminating in Pershing's advance
and capture of prisoners; second, the
scream of the kaiser at Essen; third,
Germany's offer of treaty of peace
with Belgium; fourth, Austra's sug-.
restion of a conference of all the bel
ligerent nations for the purnose OF
exchanging views.
"These four incidents are not sep
arate, but closely related. The last
three were inspired by the first"
Mr.. Daniels said the German war
lords had never understood President
Wilson's utterances until he declared
last April for "force without stint or
limit" Even then, the Secretary con-
tinued, the German leaders scoffed at
the ability of "a democratic nation to
put an army in the field in less than
generation that could meet success
fully the the veteran German divis-
ions.
The United States longs for peace,
declared Mr.. Daniels, and fights for
peace, and American courage on land
and sea wrote the first notes of the
peace offensive, When Lloyd George
said n March last that it was race
between Wilson and Hindenburg, he
added, the British premier pictured a
competition in which President Will
son has won. The President, Mr.
Daniels concluded, would leave no
stone unturned to secure a righteous
peace, and the Germans can have
peace when they are ready to accept
the terms stated by the President tc
| Congress last January.

EXPECT MORE PROPOSALS
Relieve Rebuff VIII Not Cause Dual
Monarchy to Abandon Efforts
of poorp
of Peace

Washington, Sept. l9.-Despite the
rebuff given the Austro-H Hungarian
governments peace parley proposal.
he dual monarchy will not abandon
its efforts in the direction of peace.
This is the belief expressed in Of
.ficial quarters, where the Austrian
nete is considered merely the forerun-
ner of series of proposals which
the allies expect to receive this win
ter from the central powers. The
enemy, it. is firmly believed, will leave
no stone unturned to upset the: morale
n the allied countries and also to as
sure whatever diplomatic advantage
NAV accrue from a succession Of peace
drives. Each of the latter is expected
to be a little more conciliatory than
its predecessor, though all are ex-
pected to keep wide OF the mark that
President Wilson has set for peace.
At the State Department some
doubt is expressed as to the actual
part played by, Germany in the pres
ent peace proposal, the answer tc
which is now being digested in both
Vienna ard Berlin. This government
is rot positive in its know ledge that
Germany approved the plan, but what
ever discrepancy, if any, existing be,
tween the two governments can best
be explained in the words of a high
State Department official. He said:
"Of course when one power abso-
lutely dominates another that fact
clrcumstantial evidence that it turn
ed the key that released the fette~
FOR the hand to write the note
Whether or not Germany was CO.
partner in the matter, she had no OBJ,
lection in seeing its effect"

The lightning struck brick house on

which was of the ball variety, struck
the gable of the roof, tearing hole
and dislodging bricks from the south

Original Warming.

When the original warning went out.
it followed the capture and retention
by U-boat commanders of crews and
passengers from torpedoed ships and
their ultimate release again. 1t was
feared then that these prisoners
might have been inoculatcd with the
germs and then released to spread
them. Exceptional care was taken to
guard against this.
The fact that the disease has ap-
pcared particularly in cities where
there arc army or naval training
caps adds strength TO the theorq that
Germans may have disseminated the
germs.
It has been pointed out that the
malady made its appearance in Spain
after the appearance III ports of that
country Of German U-boats.
