.|S A NEW PEACE
 OFFENSIVE DUE i. QUESTION ASKED
rRepub,ican A. p. Leased Wire]

AMSTERDAM, June 2.-lS d new German peace offensive coming! IS the question being asked Tn polllcai circles. What has often been adVo- cated in German socialistic ana raolcal organs namely, that Germany shoulu clearly and unequivocally state the terms upon which she would De Whilns to make peace, now is urged even oy the pan-German KreuZ Zeitung, Whlcn judges the present moment as most opportune one.
 The newspaper says with emphasls it is not a peace offer, but peac, offensive that is wanted, ana IL De- lieves the recent German military sue cesses cannot fail to add weight 10 any concrete proposal Germany may make now, only the newspaper adds' IL should be made publicly.
 There need be no apprehension. the newspaper declares. that d peace or fensive will weaken Germanys pollt- cal position, and it argues that tnose who would leave the entire issue to the sword take too narrow a view or this war and show no understanding of it's political consequence.
 The Kreuz Zeitung goes on. pointing out that the absence of definite gov ernment peace program IS destroying internal unity while the lack of polit;- cal activity in the interval between battles tends to hamper the conduct or the war and leads to all sorts or rumors about disagreements between the government and the army com manders.
 The government is called upon by the Kreuz Zeitung to appoint imrne- diately a commission consisting of leading economist, colonial expert, representatives of the army and the navy and an international jurist, un- der the presidency of an able diploma tist. to work out a complete peace program; but it urges that time presses and that it must be done quickly. A definite program after con- | sultation with rSrty leaders, the news paper asserts, would undoubtedly se- l cure a majority in the reichstag as was secured for the policy of unre- stricted submarine warfare.
 Vorwaerts, commenting on the Kreu1 Zeitung's peace offensive manifesto complains that it is a pam German at tempt at a favorable moment of mill. tary success to tie the German gov. ernment permanently to the pan German annexation program and adds
 Nevertheless, we also demand iron the government a peace offensive ant an immediate announcement of it concrete war aims. We are not ami
 mated by lust of conquest. and demand that the governments conditions shal
 be of such a nature as can reall,
 forthwith lead to peace, namely, tha
 they shall convince our enemies tha
 they have no oppression, violence o severance of national territory to fea
 from a victorious Germany"

companies would do the same. We felt this was our duty to the government. The flat defiance of the proclamation of President Wilson by the telegraph companies and the findings of the na- tional board leaves us no alternative other than to strike for the principles so clearly enenciated in the proclama- ton, principles that are held to be the inalienable right of all American work men.
 President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, has asked me to confer with him before declaring a strike. I am going to Washington to- night for that purpose. Confidential instructions will he sent immediately to our membership in more than 200 American cities"
 MT. Konenkamp added that about thirty thousand commercial telegraph : CTS and about fifty thousand railroad telegraphers would be affected by a strike order

MOSCOW. June 2.-(British Ad- miralty per Wireless Press)-M. Tchi- tcherin, the Russian foreign minister, has sent to the German ambassador at Moscow the following note:
 The Russian government agrees with the German government that in order to obtain speedy and complete accord with Finland, Russia should accept the German proposal for regu- larizing relations with Finland"
 This proposal provides for Finland ceding to Russia, Fort Inc and Raj vola, in the province of Viborg, on the Russian promise not to fortify these places, while Russia cedes to Finland the western part of Mourman and an outlet to the sea.

colds, pneumonia and other ills that to tempt them seems the least excusable form of asininity. Pardon us, girls, but that is just what it amounts to.
 What particular quirk of the femi- nine mind it is which prompts defiance of natures laws we do not pretend to say. It is beyond us. But whatever the impelling motives may be, they seem to be resstless. In other days young women did not consider it be- meath them to don rubbers or over shoes against storms which challenged their dainty peregrinations. But that was the age of mere common sense, d virtue which seems to have gone quite out of fashion.
 Today our young lady will brave death itself rather than conceal from the admiring gaze of the multitude her handsome boots. She seems to thing overshoes are a badge of pathetic human weakness. Her 2OO-pound brother and her still athletic father may wear them if they choose. Being mere men, of course, they have no pride. But as for her, swagger boots were made to be seen and admired. and that is all there is to it. And she wades through snow up to her knees if tneed be- and plunges through drifts , without a whimper, stopping on the other side to brush the snow from her white kids. recklessly indifferent to wet feet and probable punishments.

NEW YORK, Aug. lS.-While 1t
IN would be a mistake to draw too
great a conclusion from such
slight evidence as the latest German
retirement, that from Serre and Beau
mont Hamei. il is not too much to say
that this retreat points directly toward
a far wider German withdrawal. at
least to the line of Bapaume Peronne-
Noyon and possibly to the old linden
berg line itself
The reason is simple: Serre and
Beaumont Hamel, together with Com
mecourt, which has always been in
British hands, in the present campaign,
we're anchorages of the German line at
the Somme, all through the battle Of
1910 Before these three places the
British offensive on July was checked
with the appalling losses OF the whole
war in the west. Serre was never taken
BY battle, but remained in German
hands until the Hindenburg retreat be-
gan Beaumont Hamel first attacked
on July ], did not fall to British arms
until November.
Serre Front Is Strong.
The Serre position is of very great
strength and commands the line of the
Ancre. both southwark toward Albert
and eastward toward Bapaume
Because the Germans held this posi-
ton the British were obliged to
make their long flanking operation up
over the Albert ridge which lasted for
many months but resulted finally in
turning the Germans out OF the Somme
line. Now an evacuation of these same
positions by the Germans would seem
