GERMAN CHANCELLOR HAS BAD
DAY OF 1T IN RElCHSTA0

i AMSTERDAM, June 26.-There will
be no further discussion of President
Wilson's four principles az basis for
"a general peace by Imperial German
Chancellor Won Hertling. He made
this announcement in the reichstag
in debate after the speech Of Won
Kuehlmann.
The proposal of league of nations
after the war was not looked upon
with favor by Hertling who, Indicated
that such league might make It un-
comfortable for Germany,
Hertling declared: 1t goes without
saying that there can be no purpose
of lessening our energetic defense Or
our will, or of shaking of our Co1ih
dence in victory" x
This brought stormy applause. Re-
I, 'et was expressed by Deputy GroetEsr
Centrist, that the utterances OF the
foreign secretary were still as bold
and thirsty as ever, but he added.

GERMANY FIGHTS ON II
WITH HOPE OF VICTORY
EMBARGO REMOVED ON
SHIPPING FLOUR HERE

ATLANTA, Ga, June 26.-Dr. And
rev M. Soule, federal food administra-
tor for Georgia, on yesterday announc-
ed the removal of the embargo on the
shipment of flour into this state. The
embargo was laid because the state
had surplus supply on hand several
months ago, thanks to the patriotic re-
spcnse of the people and the dealers
in reporting the amount on nand and
for the further reason that very strict
conservation was necessary through
out the country The new crop has
somewhat relieved the shortage, al
though $3.50 flour must still be used
under the regulations, and the peo-
pie are still asked to practice the most
careful economy, in order that the
supply of wheat flour for the soldiers
shall not be cut down in quantity or
interrupted in its steady flow
