AUSTRIA SUBMITS
PEACE PROPOSAL
WOULD HAVE EXCHANGE OF
VIEWS LOOKING TOWARD
FINAL NEGOTIATIONS.
Suggests That There Be No Interrup-
ton of War and That Discussion
Go on So Far as Considered to
' Offer Prospects of Success.

AmSterdam.-1n extending an Invita-
ton to all the belligerent governments
to enter into nen-binding discussions
at some neutral meeting place, tha
Austro-Hungarian government stated
that the object of the conference
would be to secure an exchange OF
views which would show whether
those prerequisites exist which would
make the speedy Inauguration Of peace
negotiations appear promising"
The Austrian proposal, which is an~
nounced in an official communication
telegraphed here from Vienna. sugs
gests that there be no interruption OF
the war, and that the discussions
would 60 only so far as considered by
the participants to offer prospects Of
success"
The proposal calls for all the bellig1
erents to send delegates for a "conf1-
Dental and unbinding discussion ON
the basic principles for the conclusion
of peace, in place in neutral coun-
try and at near date that would yet
have to be agreed upon"
The proposal says the conference
would be one of delegates who would
be charged to make known to one an
other the conception of their govern
ments regarding those principles and
to receive analogous communications
as well as to request and give frank
and candid explanations on all those
points which need to be precisely de-
fined"
The government announces that a
note embodying it's suggestions had
been addressed to the various bellig-
erent powers and that the holy see had
been appraised of the proposal in spe-
cial note. The governments of the
neutral states also had been made ac-
quainted with the proposal.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CANDY
Utah and Idaho Manufacturers Tell
Public the Truth About the Candy
Situation, Showing Their Con-
sumption of Sugar to be Small.

The candy makers of Utah ant
Idaho are planning to tell the gen
eral public the facts about the cand,
industry and about candy as a foot
product.
Due to much misunderstanding
and to lack of a definite knowledge
of the facts. the candy industry ha!
been unjustly criticized and injured
Ask the average man or woman how
much sugar goes into the making Of
candy and you will find that it il
tn general opinion that all the way
from rs per cent to so per cent Of
the country's production goes into
candy making.
This has led many people to be-
lieve that If the candy factories were
still further restricted, or possibly
put out of business, the sugar short.
age problem would be solved. But
such would not be the case.
Far from using rs to SO per cent
the candy industry in normal times
before the war, used something less
than per cent of the sugar in this
country. At present it is curtaled
to 4 per cent. Even If the entire
amount were cut off from candy
making the sugar situation would
not be relieved.
The candy makers contend that all
should share alike in the saving of
sugar. The manufacturers have al
ready given until 1t hurts. There is
no more patriotic body Of men than
in the candy business, and they have
gladly given up their supplies But
they now feel that the business in
terests Of the country call for a def
mite knowledge of the facts.
People must realize that the candy
industry alone cannot save enough
sugar to solve the problem. Many
people, without knowing the facts,
have felt that the making of candy
could be curtailed and the sugar pro-
blem solved.
With these facts in mind, a fair
public should be willing to help share
in the conservation of sugar to the
end that the candy industry, built up
thru many years, may survive and
go thru without further curtailment,
as the curtailment now is coming to
JIG POluI WucI0 Iu0 luLuTS Oh LHe
industry is seriously jeopardized.
But the facts in the case show that
if no more candy were made at all
the amount of sugar saved would eff
feet no real relief. Besides it would
work genuine hardship upon all
people, because each human body
Graves sweets carbohydrates
which help to furnish the energy re-
CURED for constant activity.
The United States government
recognizes the value of candy to it's
soldiers and civilians, and while it
has cut the sugar supply of candy
manufacturers to the very extreme,
it does not want the industry de-
stroyed. Candy is needed. With the
present allowance to candy makers,
every person in the United States is
entitled to and should have one
pound Of candy each month.

With the Army in France.-Ever,
day more territory is being gained b.
the advancing allies.
Thursday saw both the British ant
French armies in Picardy material!
develop their plans for the eventua
enveloping of st. Quentin and Cam
brai. The British made further gains
around Gauzeaucourt and east OF
Epehy, while the French, striking
southeast of st. Quentin, brought the
southern part of their nipper into 9
| better position for the squeeze against
the town, which daily seemingly is
growing nearer.
More than 10000 prisoners and in
excess of sixty large guns fell into
the hands Of the British during the big
operation begun by Field Marshal Haie
Wednesday northwest of st. Quentin
In addition, extremely heavy casual
ties were inflicted on the Germans In
the frontal attacks.
With logged tenacity and unflagging
devotion, the French troops are light
ing their way foot by foot across the
Malmaison plateau, which is the key
to the "Reminiscences, Laon and the
st. Gobain massif.
No sooner has one position been
taken than there is another to be at
tackled and the troops are worked to
their last ounce of effort. Some di-
visions have been engaged necessarily
from seventeen to eighteen days with
the Germans fighting to maintain their
ground. One position had to be taken
four times before the enemy aban-
doned it.
The allied drive in Macedonia has
spread until the attacking front is now
twenty-five miles wide, according to
word from the Macedonian theater
Serbian cavalry is reported to have
reached Polsho, registering total adj
vance of twenty miles since the offens-
i've began. Other cavalry forces are
driving on Prilep, the vital Bulgarian
rail center.
