NO Peace SIGNS IN
GERMAN CHANCELLOR'S =
LATEST SPEECH
Washington Regards Won Hertling's
Statements as Effort to Strengthen
Miltarists and Soothe the
Populace
NO MOVE TOWARD PEACE
The Chancello or Dismisses President
Wilson's Four Basic Principles
as Idealistic and Unworkable

Washington, Feb. 26.s-Count Won
Hertling's speech in the reichstag
yesterday, continuing the discussion
of war aims of the bclligerent powers,
has not changed the situation in the
opinion Of high officials here. Instead
of making an advance toward peace
it is regarded rather as deliberately
calculated to strengthen the hands of
the German mllltarlsuic party by en-
deavoring to convince the German
proletariat of the impracticablc ma =
ture of President Wilson's aims as
disclosed in his last address to Con-
gress on February II.
Dismissed as Idealistic
While stating his readiness to ac-
cept the Presidents four fundamental
principles for basis of peace, the
German chancellor dismissed them as
idealistic and unworkable by insisting
that they must depend for their appli-
cation upon the realization Of condi-
tions which cannot be met. In the of
ficial view his treatment of the sub
ject was ironical and designed for
very different ends than the advance
ment of peace.
No Comment Yet
There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribution
to the debate on war aims and peace
aspirations. Experience has taught Of
fcials that important qualifications
are to be found usually in the full
text of the spokesman Of the Central
Powers.
Attention was directed by officials
to President Wilson's former charac-
terization Of the German chancellor's
utterances as Every vague and confus-
ing" and it was said that the Presi-
dents comment had a very peculiarly
apt APPLICATION to the speech yestcr-
day, in which Won Hertling signified
his fundamental agreement with
President Wilson's four principles.
Presidents Attitude
President Wilson, in his last adj
dress to Congress, said of the chancel-
lor's speech delivered few days be-
fore:
ellis discussion and acceptance of
our general principles lead him to no
practical conclusions. He refuses to
apply them to the substantial items
which must constitute the body Of any
final settlement"

as hopelessly committed to the refer

day to the Senate.
And strange as it may seem the

the stage set as it was at the begin

The result was that when the refer

what was coming.
There followed a long debate on the
floor conferences in Speaker Sweet
room and hurried consultations be-
tween Assemblymen and wet and dry
Assemblyman McNab finally substi-
tuted a motion to postpone action on
the bill indefinitely, which was carried
by a vote of 109 to 80.

GREATER FLOUR
SAVING PLANNED
Division of Supplies and Big
Educational Campaign to
Be the First Steps

Washington, March 20.-The Food
Administration last night announced
the first of q series of steps planned
to stretch flour supplies sufficiently
20 reed the country and maintain
shipments to the Allies until the
next harvest
Beginning with the baking trade,
which uses forty per cent. of the
wheat Hour consumed in this coun-
Try, the administration has approved
plans for division of flour supplies
etWeen shops, sharing of wheat sub
stitutes and for a nationwide educa-
tional campaign to eliminate waste,
which will be worked out at a meet
ing in Chicago next Friday.
Further restrictions on the con-
sumption of wheat, which were an
rounced last week as under consid-
Grafton, will be put into effect next.
ASIDE from the shortage of wheat
IL the United States, another serious
problem is confronted by the Food
Administration in making good
promises to the Allies. Not single
weeks shipments of grain and
cereals abroad has equaled the an
nounced program since January /, so
thai there remains Il deficit OF S12 =
coo tons to be made up in addition
to the regular supplies.
Even with clear weather it has
been impossible to transport the
10000 tons promised every seven
days. Since January 1 shipments
have totaled 1,416,917 tons. Inas-
much as the allied peoples abroad
are Icing rationed strictly officials
here do not contemplate any cur
tailment of exports.

Huns Plan Revolts
in Countries of Allies 4
Through Lenine's Aid

Washington, March 20. - author
itative information has reached this
Government that Germany, with the
aid of Nikolai Lenine, head of the
party, and the Bolshevik leaders in
Russia, is about to start a new and
insidious offensive against the Allies
and the United States. Plans for this
have been secretly but subtly enSi-
neered by Germany and have reached
the point where the first signs of the
new offensive are already appearing
in some of the allied countries.
The plan which has been unmasked
by secret agents of the Allies and
this Government is directed toward
starting u Bolshevik revolution aimed
at capitalism in Great Britain, France,
Italy and the United States, and even
in some of the neutral countries. The
design is to make the masses believe
that the Allies are waging the war to
perpetuate capitalism and keep the
laborng classes under subsection.
Germany's chief object in the cam
paign of Bolshevikism, which is to be
captained by Lenine, is to bring about
social revolution in the principal
countries now at war with Germany
that will so add to their troubles that
they will be glad to make peace on a
German basis.

MAKE PLANS FOR
FAIRGROUNDS
Meeting of Commission Will
Be Held Shortly to Discuss
Summer Activities

Plans for the summers work of
the Parks and Fairgrounds Com
mission will be discussed at a meet
ing of the commission to be held
in the near future. An officer of the
body said this morning that no def
mite plans have been made but it is
likely IL meeting would be held
shortly.
The commission this year IS some
what late in mapping out the work.
No meeting has been held so far and
nothing said in regards to getting
a man to supervise the grounds. 1t is
understood that Supervisor Irwin
will return. this year if he is not in
the army by the time the grounds
open.
An officer of the body said that
the grounds would be operated
along the same lines as last year. y
revision in the plans will likely be
made at the request of council to re-
trench in expenses.
The annual appropriation of ST.
0C0 has been made by Council. This
in addition to $500 from the local
steel plant, will give the commission
its usual appropriation on which to
RON the Fairgrounds this year.

Stomach. Dead

People who suffer from sour stom-

after eating and indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial di-
Cestors. are killing their stomachs by
naction just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and injur-

What the stomach of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is u good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength. energy and elias
ticity into it, and make it sturdy
enough to digest n hearty meal with
out artificial aid.
The best prescription for indiges-
tion ever written is sold by druggists
everywhere and by II. G. Kennedy and
is rigidly guaranteed to build up the
stomach and cure indigestion or
money back.
This prescription is named Mf-o-na.
and is sold in small tablet form in
large boxes. for only few cents. Re

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely Greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use for sham
pooing, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich. creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.-Adv.
