The German government, according
to the correspondent, tried to get
peace offers sent to the President
through Prof Heron, who was visited
on April 10 by Prof. Quidde of Nun
ich, a friend of Count Won Hertling,
the imperial German chancellor.
Prof. Quidde was accompanied by the
Dutch pacif1cist, DR.. Jong Van Beck.
Prof. Guide said he had come to
prepare the way for a merciful peace
and gave Prof. Heron to understand
that he spoke for Chancellor Won
Hertling and the German foreign Of
flee. He assured the American pro-
fessor that the peace party in the
reichstag was about to gain predomi-
nance in Germany and that he wished
to prepare President Wilson to take
advantage of that suspicious moment.
Germany, Prof. Quidde said, was
willing to make the following terms
l. To grant autonomy to Alsace-
Lorraine within the limits of the Ger
man empire, provided the Allies
would not breach the subject of AL
! sace-Lorraine at the peace conference
2. The Brest-Litovsk peace treaties
not to be discussed at the peace con-
ference, although the Allies might
| subSnit claims for the revision of then
! and Germany might make certain
| concessions.
3. No economic war against Ger
many after the war.
| a. German colonies to be restored
Prof. Quidde asserted that the pres,
ent offensive in France had the ulti
mate objective of achieving a dura-
BILE peace.
Prof. Heron, the Nails correspond
ent writes, after listening to the Ger
man, exclaimed:
ct wonder that you have the eff
frontery to ask me to lay such {
rigmarole of cant deceit before the
American people. Far from creating
a spirit of Cancellation, it would sim
ply strengthen the American will t.
smash the perfdious and nefariou
offer of such proposals.

DRIVE AGAINST
LIQUOR TRAFFIC

Chicago, May 9-W. G. Calderwood
of Minneapolis, campaign manager of
the National Dry Federation, opened
headquarters here today for a 60 day
drive on congress to abolish the Ii
quor traffic as a war measure.
According to Mr.. Calderwood the
federation has units in 1887 coun-
ties, all of which are pledged to bring
pressure on their respective congress-
men during the next two months, the
complexion of congress, he said, is
dry.
Had federal prohibition been in
force in the United States last year,
Mr.. Calderwood asserted, the fuel
famine would have been averted and
10000 tons of shipping would have
been released. He said that 3,000,-
900, 600 of food and millions of tons
of coal were wasted last year in the
liquor business. He added that 52,-
000,0 900 bushels of grain grown here
was shipped to European brewers and
distiIlers.

evil, whether it takes one year or 10.
IF you call the renorseless s4cri-
ice Of 1900, 900 men peace offensive
and If you want the United States to
recognize your Smelling of Partisan
Congregations and churches as a part
Of it, you are making a monstrous
and foolish blunder
When I listen to your false and
treacherous overtures I feel ashamed
of humanity"
Prof. Quidde left the house weeping
The next week Prof Heron was be-
sieged by new offers by telephone,
one of the speakers saying he was
DR.. W. S. Solf, German colonial min
lister. Prof. Heron talked straight to
all of them, telling them among other
things that:
The United States no longer wants
peace. 1t wants to sweep out the
Augean stables at Potsdam.''
Prof. Heron told the story of the
correspondent and laughed triumph
antly. He said he believed the Ger.
mans were at last convinced that the
United States intends to stay in the
war until it's righteous objects are
achieved.
The Professor Quidde referred to i!
probably Prof. Ludwig Quidde, a his
| torian of the University of Munich
in Munich, the Bavarian capital. Ger
man Chancellor Won Hertling is Ba
varian and was formerly Bavarial
prime minister.
Prof. Ludwig Quidde was a delegat'
to the 10th universal peace conference
in The Hague in the fall of 1913. II
moving before that conference a pro
posal for gradual disarmament, Prof
Quidde severely blamed Germany 70
the increase in armament in Europe
He said there would have been no in
crease in France but for the action O
Germany.
The Prof. Heron referred to in tn
dispatch is probably Prof. George .
Heron, formerly of Grinnell college
Iowa. Nearly 20 years ago Prof Her
ron came into considerable promi
nence on account of his views regard
ing marriage. Separated from hi
wife, he followed out his ideas in con
tracing a second marriage. He live
in Europe for more than decade.

789 BRIDGEPORT
BOYS LISTED IN
NEXT DRAFT CALL

Hartford, May 10-Quotas for the
current draft as announced today by
Gen. Cole are based on a state total of
3,S45, credits having brought the
total down from 4,024. The first list
of figures given out called for 226
men rom the Ansoni board, and 293
from Waterbury No. 8, those two be-
ing among the largest divisions in the
state. The Ansonia board recently
reported that it had only 80 Glass 1
men available for service and that
number has been asked for. The Wa
terbury board, previously allotted 293,
is now drawn on for 80.
These two boards would have had
slightly smaller quotas on the basis of
a state total of 3,S45, but the table
given out by Gen. Cole shows that
more than 800 men must be supplied
by other boards of the state because
of the failure of the two divisions to
meet their calls.
The Bridgeport quotas as announced
today are:
Board No. 1, $50; No. 2, 90; No. 8,
1877; No. 4, IA; No. 4, 1872; No. 6,

POLICE ASSIST
ROAD OFFICIALS
IN new HAVEN

New Haven, May 10 - Every re-
source that the police have was used
today to assist the officials of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road in trying to find the cause of the
fires that destroyed the old Union sta
ton Wednesday and the headquarters
shops in the railroad yard yesterday.
Every police officer who could be
spared was loaned to the detective
bureau, and it was understood that
the federal and state authorities are
giving assistance. No theory for either
fire is advanced by officials. If there
are any clues to possible incendiarism
they are not centioned.
While conditions for handling pas
sengers are being adjusted at the
temporary station the loss of so much
property and material in the railroad
repair and other shops is causing
much inconvenience to the mainte-
nance department.

Black Rock in Bridgeport, about 2

plane sheds, the mysterious passenger

of this until he saw there were three
aeroplanes within the building.

chine than he was seized by one OF
the men and forced to enter the shed
with a gun pointed at his head.
While one of the men kept guard
over Bender, the other began to strip
the machines of valuable parts anC
pack them in suitcases. Bender al
this time was backed in a corner with
his hands high above his head. Final.
ly one of the men needed the assist
ance of the guard to help him lift :

opportunity to get out of the build

Immediately he started for the dool

but he got out a few feet ahead o
them and ran as fast as he could il

ness, he was not able to see fences

pools of water so that he suffered Sc
verely in the wild flight from his pur

The two men chased him for somt
distance, and when questioned as t.
whether they had shot at him HI
