we could whip Germany all alone.
We can do our part but the cit

AS usual after u big offensive. Ger
many put forth another peace feeler,
though without waiting for the full
measure of Austria's failure to de-
velOp. This time DR.. Won Kuehlmunn,
secretary of foreign affairs, was the
moulhpece. His address in the reichS-
tag not only was received with scorn
by the allies. but served to arouse the
anger Of most Of his own countrymen,
for two reasons. First, he admitted
that the central powers no longer had
Il chance to win victory by force
alone; second, he declared that Russia
was chiefly to blame for the war; and
that France and England were next in
order of eulpability. So fur as war
aims and peace offers were concerned
he said nothing new. The relchstag
heard his address In gloomy silence
aud then the party leaders attacked
1t bitterly. 1t was yeported Thursday
that Dr. Won Kuehlmann was about to
resign. He might be given job rs

that preliminary condition OF the
exchange of peace views "must be II

Secretary of War Baker seemingly
changed his mind suddenly about ex-
tending the draft age limits, for last
week he and General March, chief of
staff. appeared before the senate COM
mittee and agreed In urging that leg
lSlation to that end be postponed until
the fall. At that time, they said, the
war department would be able to sub
init vast program for army enlarge
ment, and would know how many sol
dierS could be transported overseas
aud how far II would be necessary to
extend the draft to obtain the num-
, Der of men required. Provost Marshal
General Crowder said he still believed
immediate action necessary, but be-
! ing only subordinate, he bowed to
the decision of his superlors. The
senate committee, which had agreed
on twenty to forty years as the new
| draft limits, voted to defer action.
This provoked storm of protest
In congress, chiefly from Republican
leaders who declared the delay was
another evidence of the admlnlstra-
tions prOcraStinatiOn and devotion To
unpreparedness. The Democrats prom
lsed action in September and said
there were enough men In class to
meet all requirements until then. To
show that there is no need for imme-
date action Senator Hitchcock said
THE information given to the com
mittee is, In substance, this: That

men In class of the present draft we
