GERMANS RAID LIVE STOCK.

The Deutschland Ueber Allies" pol
icy has actuated the Germans to steal
the live stock of the Allies in order to
save their own and to increase their
food supply. Germany has not
slaughtered her home supply as rap
idly. as otherwise would have been
NECESSARY.
ssAs a result of this plundering, there
isSnow a practical exhaustion of ami
mails in Belgium, Serbia and Rouma-
MIA. Europe has already lost consid-
erably over half as many meat ami
mails as there are in the United
States today, and considering the
poor condition Of the animals still
alive, it becomes an urgent necessity
for The United. States to ship to her
all possible meat supplies.

To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope to get
much real pleasure out of life when his bowels
are clogged a good share of the time and the
poisons that should be expelled are absorbed
into the system, producing headache and indi-
gestion. A few doses of Chamberlain Tablets
will move the bowels, strengthen the digestion
and give you a chance to realize the real joy OF
living. Try it.

HUNS SEND FORTH
An OFFER OF PEACE
REPORTED THAT MOVE IS BEING
MADE TO BREAK THE RANKS
OF ALLIES.
Peace. Agent Sent to London With
Proposal That Germans Give Up
Claims in West and Restore Bel
GUM, IL 5ritons viii Quit.

London.-A Central News dispatch
from The Hague, on May 6, declared
that Germany had made her first de-
finite move In the new peace offensive
by sending out peace feeler to Eng
land, consisting of eight terms, two
of which promise the remuneration of
all German claims In the west and
the restoration OF Belgium.
e The peace agent that Germany is
said to have sent to London is COM
monty supposed to be former war
minister of Holland.
Foreign Secretary Balfour an
nounced in the house of commons,
Monday, that no peace proposal has
been made recently, nor is there any
neutral representative here who made
tentative and informal suggestions for
peace negotiations.
The German terms supposed to have
been sent by the peace agent, are as
follows: ~
1. Germany renounces all claims in
the west.
2: Belgium is to be restored to au-
tOnomous independence.
4: 3. AlSace-LOrraine to receive au-
tonomy within the German federation.
4. The status in the east to remain
as at present.
8. Austria Hungary to make con-
cessions to Italy in Trentino
6. The Balkan questions to be de
clded at an International conference.
z. All questions affecting Africa
and Asia-Minor to be solved at the
peace table.
8. Germany to abandon all claims
to- Kiao-Chau, but to require certain
economic concessions from China.
Kiao-Chau, which Germany promises
to give up, was leasehold on the Chi
nese coast. Germany secured ninety
nine-year lease on the tract and built
a strong fort there. The fort was at
tackled by Japanese and British forces
at the outbreak of the war and it was
reduced. The allies then occupied
Kiao-Chau.

Washingten.-Offie and diplo-

called that British officials recently
predicted a*'peace offensive" and said
Furthermore, that they expected that
terms to be offered in behalf of Ger
many would be framed so as to appear
most attractive to Great Britain.
Mondays dispatches, officials de-
clared, seemed to fulfil that predic-
ton. Every peace move made
by Germany since her first offer has
been promptly branded by the allied
statesmen as subtle propaganda to sow
dissension and discord among the al
lied people, weaken their resistance
and to, lead to what has been charac-
terized as a German-made peace.
Foreign Minister Balfour's positive
statement in the house of commons
that no suggestions of peace negotia-
tons had come to Great Britain
through a neutral seemed to put the
situation beyond the. realm of serious

there was a battery of heavy artillery
and shells were dropping In there two

stuff. too.
Sometimes they overshot the big
wood and shells were landing in the
open around the little wood where my
brigade had its assembly point. AS
we approached our little copse we
could make all this out from some dis
lance away and 1t wasn't pleasant
sensation to feel that we were march

All the battallons arrived and in that
little copse there must have been at
least two thousand men. What a

the shells continued TO drop In front of
US and on either side. but none landed
among US. and after waiting there for
