GERMANS START FRESH OUTRAGE
 BY POISON GAS
(AssOciated PreSs)

(ASSOc1ate0 ffeSSD
 PARIS, May 6.-It has been dis covered by French chemists acting under instructions from the govern ment that the Germans are system. atically attempting to kill off the people of France by a poison gas drive in an outrageous manner The plot was discovered in an almost ac- cidental manner and has been laid bare beyond the possibility of a doubt as to the guilt of German of- ficials and complicity of the German government.
 The Germans are deliberately in. jecting asphyxiating gas in letters sent home by prisoners in German camps. Two we'll authenticated cas. es of illness have been traced to this cause and numerous others re- ported. A woman living in the will lage of Lasicotiere was i'll several days after receiving letter from a German prison camp. Another wo- man received a letter from her hus- band, held captive in Bavaria, which was given laboratory test and found to contain poison gas.

BALF0UR SAYS
 GERMANS MADE
 NO NEW OFFER
(AssOciatad Preaa1


 LONDON, May 6.-In order to cor. rect an impression that Germany has made England a recent peace proposal which has been suppressed by the government. Foreign Secre. tary Balfour before the house of commons this morning that the gov. ernment has received no late peace proposals from the Teutons. He also declared that the government would have no hesitancy in making such proposals public if they should be made and that any offers made by Germany now must be made to all the allied nations and not to Great Britain alone.
 This announcement was occaSioned by an article appearing this morn ing in the Daily News, which de. clared that Germany's peace emis- sary. recently reported to be here, is very busy, but that he had made no progress and intends to return to Germany and report there is nothing doing at present.
 The News also says that Jonkheer Colyn, formerly minister of war for The Netherlands, is the peace ennis. sary. It is reported that he pro- posed that Germany should restore Belgium and renounce all claims in the west. Also that Alsace- Lorraine should be autonomous, but included in the German federation with equal powers with the remainder of the federated states. The proposal is also said to have included conces- sions to be made by Austria in the Trentino to Italy. In return for these concessions, Germany demand ed that the status in the east be left untouched
 The News states that as far as is known these terms have not been made to the government officially, but it is understood that they have been indirectly communicated to Lloyd George and other leaders.
 This proposal is said to have left the officials cold. They are not willing to admit that Germany has anything to say about the future of Belgium, and are determined that Eyv.or ,hon hox of Alsace Lorraine. The proposal that Germany be allowed to retain her hold on Russia and Rumania finds no lodging place in the minds of the government. Other papers besides the News, commenting upon the alleged proposals, declare that they are preposterous and cannot be entertained for one minute.

HOME DREDCERS WIN ON APPEAL
 IN A VITAL SUIT
Associated P-eesl

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, May G. In a decision handed down today the United States circuit court of appeals denied the application for a receiver for the Nome Consolidated Dredging company, $2,000,000 firm The American Manganese Steel Co asked that a receiver be appointed contending that the company went through insolvency and secured $200, 900 in order to escape liability for $25, 100000 to the steel firm.
 The creditor also contended that the Alaska Mines corporation bought in the dredging company for 5000, which was given as further act to an irregular insolvency. The appeal court reviewed the evidence and held that assets of the dredging company exceeded its liabilities and therefore no receiver was necessary, upholding the decision of the United States district court.
