Wounded Soldiers Against a
Peace Conference.
Lick EN- First and Talk After
ward, They Say.
BY WEEP MILLER.

Paris, Sept. 17.-"No, No, No."
that is the reply of American fighting
men-who have fought and been
wounded and know what they are
fighting for-to the Austrian proposal
to talk things over.
In certain American hospitals /
talked with more than score of men
who were wounded at st. Mihiel. the
Vesle and at scissors. l asked them
what they thought of the Austrian
peace move, from the standpoint of
men doing the fighting. OF twenty
three men interviewed, all except two
said: Lets do the job first and talk
afterward."
The other two said they had not
seen newspaper and die. not want to
make any statement until they knew
what 1t was II about.
"Only Another Dodge"
'I think it's only another peace
dodge" said one rancher from Cali
fornia. We've got to finish this job
while we're at it. 1 live 5000 miles
from here. Now, I can't be coming
back here every ten years or SO. We'd
better finish it now" ss
Everyone agreed in the belief that
the Austrian proposal is inspired by
Germany, that it is lacking in SINGER
ity and is made for its effect upon
world opinion.
"Something Tricky About It."
There's something tricky about it,"
declared a big miner from northern
Michigan.
I'm fed upon the war. It's dirty
job. But we've got to stick until they
talk Turkey. We came into the war
for a certain purpose. We won't quit
until it is DONE"
1T looks like this, to me-" said a
farmer from Ohio, "i{ a man stabbed

All the men displayed a remerka biz

NO PEACE FARLEY

Senator Lodge spoke of the extent
of German propaganda in this coun-
try and praised Secretary Baker for
his recent order barring certain books,
from military camps. He referred to
an anonymous book recently banned
from military camps, but alleged to
have been endorsed by George Creel,
chairman of the committee on public
information. Senator Reed asked if
Mr.. Creel had transmitted the au-
thor's name to the department of JUS
tee for investigation. The minority
leader said he had not heard whether
it had been done.
Pro-Gcrman Books in Camps.
Senator Lodge charged that German
propaga nda books are even being
placed IN military camps and he de-
manded to know who Is responsible.
Praising President Wilson's Balti-
more speech which called for force
and more force" against the enemy, he
compared it with what he termed
"Stuff' written by Immigration Com
missioner Howe which he declared
was in Migrant violation Of the presi-
dents policy.
Hun Propaganda Everywhere.
What I'm trying to show" Mr..
Lodge continued with emphasis, lis
how far this German propaganda ex-
tends, how subtle it -. We find it
even among officers of the govern
ment; we find 1t in the libraries of our
soldiers; we find 1t everywhere"
The senator declared that the Ger
man emperor has been the fountain
head of much propaganda, adding:
"Of his unattractiye qualities. his
religious hypocrisy is the worst"
Lauds Czccho-Sloyaks.
He said the kaiser had insulted
Belgium with a separate peace offer.
One of the most creditable things
President Wilson has done during the
entire war. Mr.. Lodge continued was
to recognize the Czecho-Sloyak ma
ton.
1T any nation ever deserved recog-
milton it was the zecho-Slovaks." he
said. I'VE must. go further and re-
cognize the Jugo-Slavs. at the head OF
which stands Serbia We must re-
cognize the Poles. They, and they
alone can make a peaceful state in
central Europe that will forever bar
Germany from eastern europe. "Wher

ARE ALREADY STATED
Allied Governments Have Nothing
Over Which To Confer With Teutons.

London, Sept. 17.-There will be no
peace conference.-the the ordinary his
toric of the terms much less the kind
of a conference proposed in the Aus
tria-Hungarian note.
This is substantially the allied at
titude toward the communication from
Vienna. The major details of the al
lies peace terms have already been
formulated. Most of them have been
stated. The more intricate and de-
tailed questions, particularly with re-
gard to Russia. the Balkans and Tur-
key, are now being studied in the al
lied foreign offices and their positions
thereon are in the process of formula
ton. When the central powers yield
to the military and naval pressure and
show reason enough to make a general
conference worth while. the allied and
American delegates will consider the
Teutonic peace.

Peace Move, Was Necessary II
Protect Teutonic Thrones.
Austria's Note Was Intended
for Effect at Home.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.

BY WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS.
Paris, Sept. 17.-Many deep think
ers see in Austria's peace move one
of the cleverest bunco games the
central powers have yet conspired to-
gether to spring on the allies. They
believe the whole thing amounts. to
little more than a concerted move by
Emperors Wilhelm and Charles to
save their thrones by throwing the
blame for continuation OF the war on
the allies and leading the dispfrited
Teutonic troops to believe they must
keep up the fight, however sick of the
war, in order to defend their homes
from invasion by jealous and covetous
enemies
The hope the allies will see the trap
before they plant their foot in it, as
they already have done more than
once before.
Fear the Coming Winter.
Germany and Austria are heartily
sick of the war. Their leaders realize
that if they are to get-past the winter
without direct trouble something des-
perate must be done Immediately.
General Won Ludendorff, in secret
order, declares the troops already are
talking of a revolution after the war.
and means Of accumulating ammuni-
ton for such use. -
German statesmen openly hint at
lie is already murmuring because II
was deceived by promises of world
domination-if 1t would only back up
the military party for atfinal often
sive" which, when loosed in March.
resulted ultimately in the biggest dis
aster yet visited on Germany.
Evidence points toward all Germany
and Austria rising to their feet and
crying to the kaiser: Look what
your dreams of conquest brought to
us!''
Interior Situation Critical.
The interior situation in Germany
and Austria is extremely critical. A
peace move is most imperative. Not
that it will bring peace. They hope
the allies will indulge in fire brandish
talk of wip.ng the central empires off
the face of the map before talking
peacs-th.s to be plastered nation
wide with the notice.:
You see we want peace. but the al
lies scorn our offer, nothing remains
for us but to fight unless you want
the allies to trample you under foot

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-05-14

While the aircraft production board
and the ordnance department are tar
gets for criticism the shipbuilding rec
ord is being commended There have
been launched, completed and accepted
since the drive began 100 vessels aggre-
eating S83,711 tons. Considering some
delays through discussion over types,
sizes and materials this is an excellent
showing. 1t seems that the practical
shipbuilders of the country have been
driving ahead while the theorists have
been spending much of their time in
table talks and squabbles Of the 100
vessels completed up to May |, % were
of 10000 tons or more and 40 were be-
tween 5000 and 10000 tons. There was
one l4,000-ton ship. Only p of the
ships are less than $500 tons, and the
smallest is of $3.50 tons. All of them
are of ocean going size and presumably
all are suitable for use in foreign trade
and transportation service With the
increase in the number of shipvards
and in the capacity of many of the old
yards that has occurred during the
past year, the production should SHOW
a marked increase in the next -
months. Although the German U-boats
and the ordinary disasters of the sea
have destroyed more tonnage than the
shiPyards of the allies in Europe have
been able to produce in the same period
production in these countries is now
nearly keeping pace with the present
lcssened rate of losses. American pro
duction ought to enable the allies tc
make a steady gain.
