Lack of Gums Forced
German Peace Move
,sp,cial Dispatch to The Tribunc,

N>psctut DiSpdtch to The TTfbuNr)
WASHINGTON, Oct. T.-Accord-
ing to an official dispatch received
here to-day. one Of the reasons for
the suggestion of an armistice by
the Central Powers is the recent trc-
mendcus 1858 Of wsr material by tho
German armies. The dispat,n quotes
the Following received from Berne
by the "Petit Parisien":
'ln ordinary times the Germans
would lose monthly, owing to use aud
deterioration, an average Of 1900
guns. The manufacturing plants only
succeeded with great difficulty in
making up for this loss by the manu-
facturc of new pieces. But since the
Allies advance, with the capture of
1000 cannon and Of nearly $4,000
machine guns, Germany is no longer
able to make up for her losses, as
the dearth of the particular kind Of
steel used in the making of guns be-
gins to be felt"

Of the Allied nations not TO reject

have been made.
Tho message says the party notes
New-York tribune., 1918-10-08


lilndenburg has resigned as
chief of the German General Staff
alter a contentious interview with
the Kaiser. Hindenburg insisted, it
is said, that :, general retreat on the
West front was imperative and un-
avoidablc. This is interesting, even
If it may not be wholly true.
1t is clear that there has been
much discord For months past at
German Grand Headquarters. Hin
denburg has been in nominal COM
mand and Iudendortf in actual COM
mand. The latters failure has ap-
parently encouraged the former to
repudiate the Ludendorffian strategy.
Not until the war ends will the
world know who was responsible for
one of the most fatal enterprises in
military history-the German West
front campaign of 1918. Ludcndorf
conducted it, and his burden of ac-
countabllity to the German people
will be doubled if it is established
that he also devised it. 1t was a
gamble in which all that Germany
had in military prestige and power
was rccklcssly squandered.
II the Germans in March last had
elected to stay in the Hindenburg
lines they would not now be begging
for peace. Allied unity of command
would probably not yet have been
achieved. The flow of American
troops to France would not have
been accelerated. The Macedonian
front would not have crumbled.
Germany would have had troops to
spare to defend Macedonia and
Palestine and keep Bulgaria and
Turkey at least partially contribute
ing members Of the Quadruplc Al
lance. She would also have had
enough troops left to develop and
organize her power in the conquered
Russian provinces-perhaps to cx-
ploit those provinces to her own
military benefit.
Germany's real hope Of victory
lay in solidifying her grip in the
East and in playing for deadlock
il the West. If ITindenburg IA
vcred that policy last winter, he
1ced the future better than Luden-
Gorff did. If he has now been urg-
ing more rapid German retire
r,cnt in France. he has read the
present better than Ludendorfi does
Under the Hindenburg plan the
German armies could have retired
To the French frontier at a mini
mum cost. Under the Ludendorm
plan all armisticc must be sought
in order to secure their safe and
economical withdrawal. Prince Max
OF Baden, the undertaken Of pan
German ambitions. has been called
in to retrieve Ludcndorff' faults of
strategy.
An armistice is, out Of the qles-
ton. 1t is also out of the question
COR the German armies to stay in
France. Every day they are yield
iaG to Foch's conccntric pressure.
The German salient to the east Of
Rheims has just been snuffed out,
The Franco-American forces i'll that
sector have reached the line Of the
Suippe River almost up to its juno
tion with the Ai.nc. Yesterday

Huns Seeking Safety
Germany, in her latest peace offer
seems anxious to save her own Shln,cNeN
at the expense of her Allies, said George
Nicou Barnes. member Of The War Cab
met in a speech at Derby. The latest
offer showed no change Of heart and
ne change in the German system. The
peace proposal only indicated that the
Germans realized the change in the
military situation and the shifting OF
the balance of power.
"If anything could come of the over
lures" he said. 1--WE should be foolish
to deny ourselves that chance. But it
would smooth and facilitate the path
to peace If the Germans showed some
evidence Of work following their propo-
sitions Of faith. BY clearing out Of
France and Belgium they could save
their own souls"
"Tho Mranchcater Guardian considers
that the peace proposals set forth by
Prince MaXimilian are vague. and that
while the acceptance Of President Will
sons fourteen points seems TO be in
good faith, the new Chancellor finds it
convenient to slur enc point-the Pres

that no binding agreement could be
made with the German government as
at present constituted. The paper adds
"Nothing in the constitution of the
German state has been altered. The
Kaiser remains absolute and supreme

SALES OF WHEAT MILL FEEDS

oALEo VI WHEAT MILL BELLS
Flour mills are required to sell bran
of their own production, in car load
lots, at, per tons, 38 per cent of the
price of ton of wheat, as shown by
the average price paid for wheat dur
ing the preceding month. Suppose a
miller paid an average price Of $2.10
per bushel for wheat during the pre-
ceding month. For one ton the price
paid would be $1,000. Thirty-eight
per cent of $1,000 would be $266O, and
this is the price per ton at which the
miller must sell bran in car load lots.
In selling the bran in less than car
load lots he may add so cents per ton,
which would make the selling price
$27.10. In selling to retailers he may
add five per cent, which would make
the price to retailers $28.45. In sell
ing direct to consumers he may add
ten per cent as a retail profit, which
would make the price to the consumers
$31.30.
The prices named are for cash sales
at the mill. A jobber who is not a
miller may take profit not to exceed
five per cent on the cost of the bran
to him, f. o. b. his town. "A retailer is
entitled to ten per cent profit on cash
sales at his store without delivery.
The price at which middlings are
sold at mills shall in no case be more
than nine dollars more than the selling
price of bran. The price of "feed" at
mills shall in no case be more than
four dollars above the price of bran.

PRESCOTT ADMITS
PRICES ARE HIGH

Lansing, March 19.-HDid you ever
stop to wonder why food prices are
high in war time? Or have you just
complained about the fact that they
are high?" said Food Administrator
G. A. Prescott, "and then wondered
why in the world the government
hasn't stepped in and brought them
back to the ante-bellum level?
"The next time you complain about
prices" said Prescott, stop to think
of the farmer who grew the things you
are buying. Do you know that he is
paying So or $3.50 day for labor he
could get before the war for 81 or
$1.25-and that he is having a mighty
hard time getting anybody at all? Do
you know that every railroad in the
country is congested and that it is
much more difficult to get farm pro-
ducts to market than it was year
ago? Do you know that the man who
buys food from the farmers and then
distributes it to the wholesale dealers,
has to pay much more for his labor
than he did before the war. And do
you know that the wholesale dealer is
paying wages and salaries that he
could scarcely have dreamed of few
years ago and that the same thing is
true of the retailers?
"And then, on the other hand, when
you wonder why the government
hasn't taken hand, have you stopped
to consider that prices have risen on
a much lower scale than has ruled in
other wars? Have you thought when
you pay nine cents for sugar, with the
country going through an actual sugar
famine, that it would have gone much
higher had not the government,
through the United States Food Adj
ministration, taken measures to sta
Billie the market? Have you stopped
to wonder why the wholesale price Of
-four is less than 81 barrel, when it
went as high as SIS last summer and
threatened to keep mounting? Have
you remembered that the farmer is
getting more money out of $40 or 81
fioup today than he got out of $14 or
$1F 'ur six months ago?
you haven't thought of these
said the state food admins
"You just know that prices
err, and you wonder why some
,.oesn't do something about it.
n i stopped to think, maybe your
tone would change from complaint to
wonder? Prices are high, but the
wonder is that they are not far high
er, when you come to thing of it."

"You ask how we may tell roosters
from pullets. Well, about the best
method is the one advanced by an old
lady, who said: "Mix some meal and

few days old drop little in front of
them. If he eats it, it's rooster; if
she eats it, it's a pullet."

FIND BACTERIA AID
" GROWTH OF LEGUMES

East Lansing, March 20.-"Let the
little microbes help YOU" the depart
ment of bacteriology of the Michigan
Agricultural college is saying to Mich
igan farmers who are thinking this
season of going in for legume crops
included in which are the clovers, al
falfa, soy beans, and COW peas. The
college, to encourage wider adoption
of the practice of inocculating the seed
of these crops, or the ground in which
the seed. is to be planted, is distribut-
ing cultures Of bacteria from its bas-
THEOLOGICAL laboratory to farmers, at
cost.
"For some years." an announcement
from the department of bacteriology
declares, "this department, has been
making careful inquiries to ascertain
the effectiveness of inocculation in en-
couraging the growth of legume crops,
and while the information obtained
has not been as comprehensive and en-
Tightening as might be wished for,
the facts accumulated are nevertheless
of much value.
GAS result Of these inquiries it is
recognized that inocculation for alfal-
ia is essential, and that unless far
mer knows he can secure abundant no
dule formation in the soil without arti-
fetal inocculation, inocculation should
be practiced also for clovers, vetch,
cows peas and soy beans.
Cultures for inocculating the seed
or soil, can be secured from this de-
partment at cost. Inquiries should be
addressed to the department of bac-
teriology. East lansing"
