Prepare for Big LOSS

Amsterdam, March 15.-According
to news received here Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg has stated in an in
terview in Berlin that the entente had
shown an unresponsive attitude to-
ward Germany's peace intentions and
that the great German offensive there
fore must 60 on. ~.
In well informed neutral quarters
recently the Associated Press cores
pondent was told that the Germans
were prepared to lose 800, 900 men in
an offensive operation.
The Verdun offensive of the Ser
mans, in which they failed utterly to
break the French line, has been
estimated in conservative quarters as
having cost them something like
soc, 900 men.

ScOrns Proposal


London, March 15.-Replying to an
inquiry as to whether here was any
truth in the rumors that proposals
had been received from Germany for
a peace at the expense of Russia, Lord
Robert Cecil, the. minister of blockade,
said in the house of commons today:
LAS far as I know no such proposals
are being considered or will be con-
sidered." -"
Under this arrangement Holland
still is left enough ships for her own

plentiful supplies of food await her if
she sends bottoms to carry it. BY
this arrangement, officials, point out,

Germany if continued threats coerce
Holland into keeping her shipping in

At her first matinee Silver forgot
most of her words. and the rest stuck
in her parched throat. She could not
keep step with the dancers. and when
she was hoisted into the air she lost
her balance and hung head down
kicking and sprawling till she was
lowered.
This convulsed the small audience
50 completely that the house manager
begged Bruni to keep it in. The old
man was insulted at the suggestion.
His birds were artists. not clowns.
He expended so much temper on the
manager that he had no wrath left for
Silver. But he explained to her that
the sacrilege must not occur again
and ordered Krug to give her spe-
cial rehearsal On this account she
could hardly refuse Krug's invitation
to supper after the show. She was as
hungry at 1880 as she had been be-
fore dinner, and as Krug watched her
his admiration was tempered with
anxiety.
On the way home he carelessly
slipped his arm about her waist and
withdrew it promptly minus four or
five small pieces excavated by her
ready nails. He was so startled that
he apologized. The next evening he
was permitted to feed her only on
condition that he quit what she called
his "damnonsense."
This was the basest ingratitude in
his eyes and the supper series ended.
Lacking his support, she paid for her
own suppers. In the moEnings She
bought herself beakers of ice cream
soda. nut sundaes with maple sirup

Silver slept on it that night. but she
slept ill. Her brain was a paddock of
Nightmares: one of her recurrent tor
ments was a vision of herself as a
fat woman in a museum. billowy,
pillowy freak. She woke again and
again In cold sweats of horror.
she could remember from the news
paper accounts of how to get thin.
She bent stiff kneed and touched the
floor with the tips Of her fingers till
she grew dizzy and fell to the floor.
Then. being there, she rolled herself
along the carpet like a barrel till the
people in the room below were awak-
ened and alarmed and ran up to knock
at the door and ask il she were hav-
ing a fight or fit.
She refused her breakfast and fed
from the house, where the aroma of
waffles seemed to have claws to clutch
at her and Hale her back. She walked
and ran, sinking down to rest on
packing cases or other sidewalk OBJ
structions. She walked and walked
til her feet outached her heart.
Her pain and her fatigue were al
most unendurable. But quite unen-
durable was the thought of going
back to the life she had left, back to
CRIME and tenements and brawling
parents and SO a week and somebody
else to spend it.
She frightened herself away from
bakers windows by the remembra nee
of her past. She achieved the heroism
of lunchless noon. She wore

STEEL EXPERT FROM JAPAN INSPECTING
 LOCAL INDUSTRIES
Official of Government Owned Steel Mills Tells of Steel Conditions
 in Japan

Keinosuke Zen of Tokio, Japan, sec- retary of the government-owned steel mills on the Island of Kiushu, just of the coast of Japan, arrived in Birming- ham yesterday for the purpose of studying conditions in the iron and steel industry in this district and the methods of their manufacture. He has been in the United States three months, spending most of the time in Pittsburg, Chicago Cleveland and other iron and steel centers studying conditions there and has come to Birmingham for few days investigation before returning home.
 The Japanese government makes iron and steel and their products. such as plates, structural iron and steel, and varied articles, both for the use of the government and for the commercial trade. Part of the output of the plant goes into the construction of govern ment-owned ships
 Japan demands 100000 pounds of steel a month";. Mir Zen stated to an Age-Hera1d reporter at the Tutwiler hotel yesterday, and she makes about one third of that amount. Therefore, we must import approximately 100000 pounds, and that is why we have ap- piled to the United States government for permission to ship that quantity from this country Many of our indus trial plants are idle because of the ack of materials and we can only start them going again by purchasing the materials in other countries"
 MT. Zen has very little regard for the Germans, and expressed the hope that peace would soon come, but not until the Germans are defeated. ''The Ger mans tried to estrange us from the United States by their propaganda" he said, but we knew its source and it's purpose, and we didn't believe it.
 "We admire the United States for fighting just for herself, but to help the world free itself of a powerful ty rant. We know that the United States helped and is helping Belgium France and other countries not for any selfish purpose, but for the good of the world. and we want to learn from your great people and want them to help us.
 "Commodore Perry came to us 70 years ago. introducing Japan to the civilized world, and since then the United States has done great deal for Japanese industry commerce and health. There should be only friendly rivalry between the two countries. for there are enough markets for each of us."

REALTORS ID HOLD SESSION TODAY Exchange Members Prepare to Leave for Convention
 In St. Louis

The Realtors have decided to do away with spell-binding at their luncheon to- day and will have an informal discussion of the various business problems that come up in the daily routine. It seems that the dirt-venders have grown weary of set programmes and want little rec reation from the regular order of things. so they will stage a free-for-all, catch as-catch-can harangue with everybody in vited to mix in.
 The following extract taken from the Exchanges weekly bulletin will give some inkling of what is going to happen at the Southern club today at o'clock: Fellow Realtor:

EMPLOYERS OF LABOR HOLD CONFERENCE
 WITH COMMISSION
Local Employers Urge Action Toward Limiting the Activities of Private
 Employment Agencies

Several local employers of labor held a conference with the city commits sioners yesterday with reference to the activities of private employment agencies. There are a number of these agencies doing business in Bir- mingham and it is stated that they are sending a great many laboring men out of the district, some of them go- ing to other states.
 The representatives of the employers urged the commissioners to take some notion towards limiting the activities of the private agencies if they could not put them out of business entirely. They pointed out the necessity of m ore laborers in the district. and of the shrinkage in production of coal, iron and other products because of the inability of the operating companies to secure men to keep operations I'D to capacity
 The commissioners listened at tentively to the complaints and prom ised to determine within the next few days what action, if any, they will take in the matter.
