GERMANY KNEW OF OFFER
Herr Thomas, of Austro- Hungarian
Labor Union Delegation, Declares
Food is Wanted.

Geneva, Sept. 2O.-"The only logic
the stomach understands is hot soup.
The only solid arguments pieces
of meat floating in it."
In this way Herr Thomas, spokes-
man of an Austro- Hungarian labor
union delegation, Is said to have urged
Count Won Hertling on September 13
to offer peace to the allies, according
to the Journal de Geneve. Insistence
of the Austro- Hungarian labor ele-
ment, due to the gradual starvation of
the people of the dual monarchy, is
said to have been the real reason for
the subsequent Austro-Hungarian
peace bid, so it is not doubted that
Germany agreed to it before hand.

In the year that has just gone by,
When you left US sad and lonely
For your home up in the sky.
And though our family circle is

And the parting has filed US with

We behold as a glorious token
The gright hope of meeting again
