McReynolds for the Solicitor-Gener-
alship of the Department of Justice.
These circumstances, coupled with
the work which the Maryla nder had
done in Baltimore in the gas light
and III other contests with powerful
corporations. strongly commended
him 10 Mr.. Baruch. 1t now develops
that Mr.. Richie was sent Tor more
than a week ago and was urged to
come to Washington and that Mr..
Baruch put the matter up TO him IN
such fashion, shat he felt il his duty
10 accept.
1t is stated that MIR. Richie will
go to Washington early this week for
4 conference with the members OF
the board and will determine then
when he viii take up his residence
in Washington. The question OF his
resignation as Attorney-Geueral Will
be decided later. If he does resign
the vacancy viii be filled by APP
pointment TO be made by Governor
Harrington He has nearly two
wears longer to serve in his present
position.
Mr.. Richie gave out the following
statement last night:
My first thought upon receiving
the Government offer was of the
obligation | am under TO the people
of Maryland to perform, as we'll as
can. the duties Of the office of Attor-
ney-General, to which they so gen
erously elected me. Believing il Is
nv duty TO remain at that post unless
there be extraordinary reasons why
| should not. | have heSitated to ac-
cept this offer.
.tOn Saturday, however, l was sum
moned back from Kent county, IN
the midst of my Thrift Stamp speak
ing tour of the Eastern Shore, and on
returning that night the Government
officials put the matter i'll the light
OF an absolute duty to my country IN
time of war, which was superior to
everything else.
L have not yet had the opportu-
nifty to learn definitely what the de-
mands of my new duties Will be, but
as soon as | am able to do this,
will probably resign as Attorney
General. in order that the Governor
may appoint some one who can give
all his time to the duties Of that
office.
1T is a matter of sincere regret to
me that my tour OF the Eastern
Shore in behalf OF War Savings
Stamps should be cut short, but it Is
impossible for me to complete it, as
| am required to be in Washington al
once

TO LAUNCH 10 SHIPS
ON PACIFIC JULY 4
Thus Coast Workers W.I Celebrate
And Disprove Talk of LOafing on

The job.
Washin gton, June 2.-Launching
! of sixteen vessels on the Pacific Coast
on July 1 is planned in response to
the appeal. of Chairman Hurley of
! the Shipping Board to the country's
shipbuilders to celebrate Indepen-
dence Day with heavy output of
/ tonnage with which to thwart the
! submarine.
This fact was disclosed tonight in
/ correspondence made public by Sec
rotary Wilson which is designed to
refute charges that shipworkers in
/ the West, and particularly riverters
and wooden ship caulkers, are not
putting forth their best efforts to
speed up the snipbuilding program.
1t is understood that the vessels will
include merchant craft for the Ship
ping Board and destroyers for the
navy.
James L. Hughes, a representative
of the Labor Department, telegraph
ed the Secretary that he and DR.. Hen
ry Suzallo, President of the Univer-
sity of Washington, had Investigated
conditions on the coast and had
found that both riveters and caulk-
ers were cooperating to the fullest
extent in producing maximum re-
suits. District Representative Boyce
of the department, also telegraphed
from San Francisco that thorough

dity of any representation regarding

kreuz-Zeitung Calls For a Commits
sion to Formulate Germans Terms

Amsterdam, June 2-"Is a new
German peace offensive coming?" is
the question now being asked in DO
iitical circles. What has often beer
advocated in German socialistic anC
radical organs-that Germany should
clearly and unequivocally state the
terms upon which she would be will
/ ing to make peace--is now urged
! even by the PanGerman Kreuz-Zeit-
! ung, which judges the present mo-
ment most opportune one
1 The newspaper says with empha-
SIS that it is not u peace offer, but
a peace offensive that is wanted and
1t believes that the recent German
military successes cannot fail to add
/ weight to any concrete proposal
which Germany may make now. The
paper adds that it should be made
publicly.
There need be no apprehension, the
newspaper declares, that a peace Of
tensiVe would weaken Germany's po-
Ht1cal position, and it argues that
those who would leave the entire is
sue to the sword take too narrow a
view of this war and show no under
standing of its political consequences.
The Kreuz-Zeitung sets forth that
the absence of d definite Government
peace program is destroying internal
unity, while the lack of political ac-
tiYlty in the intervals between bat
ties tends to hamper the conduct of
the war and leads to all sorts of ru-
mors about disagreements between
the Government and the army COM
manders.
The Government is called upon by
the kreuz-Zeitung to appoint imme-
dlately commission consisting of
leading economist, Colonial ex-
pert, representatives of the army and
the navy, and an international iu-
rist, under the presidency of an able
diplomatist, to work out a complete
peace program; but it urges that
time presses and that it must be
done quickly. A definite program
after consultation with party leaders,
the newspaper asserts, would I'M
doubtedly secure a majority in the
ReichStag. as was secured for the
policy of unrestricted submarine war
fare.

there are many other places on Long

purpose" said Mr.. Guggenheim to-
