Empress Zita Driven
To Sick Bed by Slander,
Is Report From Vienna

Amsterdam, July 9. - Denying
rumors circulating in AustriaHun-
gary regarding Empress Zita, the cor
respondent at Vienna of the Tijd
says:
1T is true the Austrian empress
partly desires peace and has. with
proper dignity, advocated it, but the
rumor that an energetic Austrian Of
tenslve against Italy was delayed by
her influence is slanderous, as salso
is the rumor that the empress was to
blame for one or two setbacks which
followed the offensive.
1T is still more slanderous to in
volve her honor as a woman with
imperial craftsmanship and the i'm
perial house. The empress, whose
sensitiveness is well known, suffered
not a little under the imputations
which have driven her to a sick bed
THE slander is more painful, as it
even assailed the welded fidelity
which so distinguished the conduct
of the imperial couple, while the non-
existent correspondence, which was
said to contain utterances of the en-
press regarding peace, is reported to
be the first cause of the difference
between the emperor and the en-
press"

Kelvie, republican candidate for govs

Mr.. McKelvie was introduced by

In his speech the candidate said
there had been no time since the
civil war when the country needed
the constructive policies of the re-

This is time for partisanship in its
truest and best sense, for it is a

to win the war against foreign foe,
but also time to develop and cherish
its highest ideals.

BY Associated Press.

Washington, July o.-Entente gov

of the views of the Washington ad-
ministration as to the best means of
carrying out President Wilson's
pledge to stand behind Russia" 1t
is understood that a project is TAX
ing shape which, it is hoped, will
counteract German influence, and lead
the people to rehabilitate themselves
without exciting distrust of the un-
selfish motives which lie behind 1t.
There is reason to believe the pro-
posaltto send American business men
to Russia forms the basis of the ne
gotiations between Washington and
the entente capitals. Only it has as
sumed new phase through the in
lection OF the idea to make the COM
mission and armed guards interna-
tional in composition, thus tending
to disarm any suspicion on the part
of the Russians that their country is
to be exploited in the interests OF a
single power.
This measure is far short of the
original desires Of the entente gov
ernments. which favored the dispatch
of military expedition into Siberia.

Time RIPE FOR
PEACE PARLEYS,
Says BERNHARD
Berlin Political Writer Says
Germany Would Accept Dis
armament Proposals; Out
lines Peace Conditions.
By Associated Press.

Copenhagen. July 9-Writing in
the Vossiche Zeitung of Berlin, Georg
Bernhard. political editor. says:
"The time IS now ripe openly to
discuss peace conditions. Having re-
gard to the ideal peace conditions
laid down by President Wilson,
unanimity on the matter undoubtedly
could easily be reached if method
of discussing the peace terms could
only be agreed upon"
Bernhard says Germany and her
allies would undoubtedly accept
reasonable disarmament proposals.
President Wilson'S demands for
se1f-government by small nations. the
writer says, would be favorably re-
ceived, but the central powers would
insist upon knowing the attitude of
England regarding Ireland. Negotia-
tions, the writer adds, should take
place directly between the belligerents
respecting frontier regulations.
Suggests Peace Conditions.
While claiming no official sanction
and even admitting that their realiza-
ton would encounter strong opposi-
ton from the German government
and people, Bernhard submits the fol-
lowing peace conditions:
France and Italy to discuss with
Germany and Austria their future
frontiers without the Intervention of
third parties.
All German colonies to be returned.
Belgium to be restored completely
as an independent state.
All merchants of the central pow
ers who have been deprived OF their

their former rights of possession.
