Force Without Limit
Washington's Reply
TO Austria S eeIer
(By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS. Germany's
latest peace feeler, advanced through
Austria, it was officially stated to day,
best finds its answer in President vii
sons Baltimore speech delivered last
April;
Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
and triumphant force which shall make
right the law of the world and cast
every selfish dominion down in the
dust"
That was the Presidents answer
then, and it was reiterated to-day. 1t
is his answer now.
No one doubts that it is the answer
Of all the triumphant Allies.
While Austrias proposal, reported
last night from Amsterdam, had not
reached Washington in official form
tonight, it is expected hourly through
some neutral, possibly Sweden. In it
is recognized the long heralded peace
offensive" upon which Germany is
counting to arouse enough sentiment
for peace among the people Of the Al
lies countries to compel an end of the
war on terms which substantially
would preserve the Prussian conquest.
Cry of a Beaten Foe,
Is View of Allies
The Allied leaders recognize it as the
Cry of Germany which knows she is
beaten and hopes by negotiation to get
the best terms possible.
There will be no round table confer
ence. no sounding out process, such as
Germany proposes and which she hopes
will give opportunity to deal with her
enemies separately.
If any reply at all is made it will be
after an exchange Of views between the
United States and the other co-bel-
lgerents, so that q reply for all may be
made in one. On every side, among
American officials and Allied diplomats.
it seems agreed that the only ground
on which Germany may have confer
encc is the acceptance of the principles
laid down by President Wilson and
which have been accepted by the Allies
as their watchword.
Successive Steps In
Peace Offensive
American officials have been noting
for some time various steps that have
led up to the proposition for a meeting
at some neutral point of delegates from
all the belligerent countries to enter
into mon binding discussions" with a
view to bringing about peace.

Think There Are Signs
OF Possible Agreement


ut is true that, independent of all
those oscillations, it can be stated that
the distance between the conceptions
of the two sides, has, on the whole
grown somewhat less; that despite the
indisputable continuance of decided
and hitherto unbridged differences, q
partial turning from many Of the most
extreme concrete war aims is visible
tive general basic principles Of world
peace manifests itself In both camps
there is undoubtedly observable in
wide classes of the population growth
of She will to peace and understand
ing Moreover, a comparison Of the re-
ception Of the peace proposal Of the
powers Of the Quadruple Alliance on
the part of their opponents with the
later utterances of responsible states
men of the latter, as we'll as Of the
non-responsible but in political re-
spect, nowise uninfuential personalI-
ties, confirms this impression.
"While, for example, the reply of the
Allies to President Wilson made de-
mands which amounted to the dismem-
berment of Austria Hungary, to a dim
mutton and a deep internal transfor-
nation of the German Empire and the
destruction of Turkish European own
ership, these demands, the realization
Of which was based on the supposition
Of an Overwhelming victory, were later
modified in many declarations from of
fetal Entente quarters, or in part were

himself, down to the Vice Chancellor of
Germany, within the last fortnight have
come public utterances, differing widely
in their tone and scope, but by singular
coincidence each and all containing in
some place a declaration Of willingness
to extend the hand Of peace. They
were coupled with denials Of RESPONSE
hostiltes
Baron Burian, the Austrian Foreign
Minister, advanced the movement tow
ard the peace offensive further than
any other speaker in his recent ad-
dress to visiting German journalists.
The ideas he then broached are now
recognized here as the foundation upon
which has been built the proposition
which Vienna now is presenting to the
world at arms in formal way.
Washington Already Has
Made Up Its Mind
The Washington government already
has made up its mind and formed it's
own opinion regarding Baron Burian's s
plan, and it can be stated that even in
the formal shape in which it is now
presented it is quite as Objectionable as
it was originally and does not present a
single point upon which the Entente
Powers and the United States are likely
to agree with the authors. Familiar
ct
sinister purpose are heard by officials.
In the opinion of officials here the
primary object of Baron Burian and
the Germans who stand behind him
is to convince the Austrian and Ger
man peoples that their governments
really desire peace, course made nee
essary by the highly dangerous and
rebcllious state of mind in Germany,
and more particularly in Austria.
This could be accomplished speedily
and effectively, it is pointed out by Of
ticials here, by an open declaration of
full and unqualified acceptance by Ber-
lin and Vienna Of the fourteen points
laid down by President Wilson as a
proper basis of peace. But this would
sound the deathknell of Pan German
ism, would mean the disagreement of a
huge tract of territory, enormous in
IDENTITIES and valuable special privi-
lcges and monopolies which the preda-
tory Central Powers have wrung from
Russia, not to dwell upon the recess
sion Of Alsace- Lorraine, whose wrong
ful seizure half a century ago Presi-
dent Wilson has solemnly declared mu It
be righted.
Another purpose to be served by
such discussions as Baron Burian pro
poses has been detected and exposed
in almost every one of the preceding
German peace moves. While the worc!
"discussions" has been substituted for
the conferences" originally proposed
officials here without the slightest hes
itation identify the purpose as another
'round table conference, such as at
/ Brest-Litovsk marked the ruin of Rus
sia. "Discussions" with all of the dele
gates assembled in one place and open
to close personal influence and ad-
dress, would not differ very much from
a formal gathering around table, and
in fact, might be more dangerous.

PINE BLUFF: WOW,
 PAYS TRIBUTE Il
 MEM6f:RS IN ARMY
Service Flag With 334 Stars is Unfurled at Patriotic :
 Meeting.

Several hundred members of Pine Bluff Camp No. 6, w. o. w., and of the Woodmen Circle paid tribute last night to the 34 members of the camp now serving in the army or navy. A handsome service flag, containing 3t stars, was unfurled and hung in the lodge hall at Second and Chestnut
 What each star in the flag repre- sents, and what each man is fighting for and against, was the theme of an eloquent address delivered by Judge E. J. Kerwin, who paid fine tribute to the soldiers. In brief. he gave a history of the foundation of the Unit ed States as a government of liberty justice and equality, and said that Americans were battling the Germans to perpetuate this and ether nations opposed to autocracy.
 He severely arraigned the imperial istic ambitions of the kaiser and his war lords, and predicted that Ameri- can soldiers would humble that ambi- tion in the dust. His address was in- terspersed with enthusiastic applause as he aroused the patriotism of his auditors.
 The w. o. w. band. directed by Pref. Ashford, played several selec' tions, and there we're other numbers on the program.
 The sem-annual roll call feature also was observed. Following the program refreshments were served.

To Tax Wealthy More.

Further bond issues also undoubt. ly will have to be authorized during the present session, according to Senator Simmons, regardless of when revenue legislation is enacted. The amount of the issues, however, will depend upon the decision as to taxes.
 Incomes and excess profits both Representative Kitchin and Senator Simmons indicated, are regarded as the principal source from which any revenue increase must come.
 The former said both can be dou- bled. while the latter believes addi- tional tax burdens should be spread more generally over the population More consumption taxes are regarded as strong possibility.
 Strong Republican opposition to any general revenue legislation at the present session of congress is expected. Senators Lodge and Shoot Republican members of the senate fl nance committee, both said today that legislation is not necessary until De- cember because no appreciable amount of additional revenue would be re ceived by the treasury before the spring of 1919

U. s. WarShip Shoots U-BOat
 Out Of Water
Third Projectile Strikes Home and Sends Sub
 marine to Bottom.

An Atlantic Port, May 9.-The sinking of a German submarine by a United States warship with a shot which lifted the u-boat completely cut of the water and broke her in two was reported by officers of the ship on her arrival here today. Because of the fine work of the gunners, the crew was given an additional furlough of 10 days.
 On the voyage over the warship previously reported from German sources as having been wrecked, sight ed three submarines and the gunners sprang to their guns. The first two shots fired in quick succession at the nearest enemy, missed. But the third went home. It caught the u-boat just below the water line and so great was it's force that the craft was lifted out of the water and in another moment her back broken, she doubled up and sank to the accompaniment of cho- rus of yells from the warship crew.
 No survivors were seen in the water and the other submarines, as the de stroyed submersible disappeared, div ed and did not reappear.

 at This Session CONGRESS PROBABLY WORK THRU SUMMER Sh0ud Statement of Finances Con. vince CGngreSSmen Prompt Action Necessary Early Adjournment
 Improbable

Washington, May 9.-Congression- al leaders have been advised by Secre- tany McAdoo that legislation at this session of congress is imperative to provide revenue to meet the uneNpect- ed increases in expenses incident to the vast eXpension of the nations war program.
 A statement of the country's finan- cial situation, upon which the amount of additional taxes and bonds needed may be calculated, has been prepared at the treasury for submission with in the next two or three days to the committees of the senate and house.
 Whether congress will undertake at the present session upward revision of the war revenue law of last fall, leaders at the capitol said tonight de bends upon the impression made by the statement. If it demonstrates that it is essential to act now instead of waiting until December, as plan ned, hopes for adjournment by July 1 will go glimmering, and congress probably will be here until fall.
 Secretary McAdoo's belief that leg islation must be enacted at once was expressed in letter to Senator Sim mons of North Carolina, chairman of the senate finance committee.
 The unexpectedly heavy estimate of expenditures for the coming year in- clude the S15, 5,0OO,OOO,OO0 army pro- gram, about $1,50O,00O,OOO for the navy, with further estimates expected, and ,250,O00,000 for the shipping beard.
 Senator Simmons said tonight the tacit agreement to defer further reve- nue legislation until December was made befora half these new estimates were submitted. The situation now. he said, is materially changed, and will have to be considered in the new light when Secretary McAdoo's for maj statement is presented

Hun Attempt At Treachery
 Is Failure
Americans Put to Flight Patrol Which Used Sup
 posed Wounded as Decoy

With the American Army in France. May 9.-A large German patrol at tempted to rush the American posi- tion on the Picardy front during last night but was driven off.
 Enemy patrol parties were active during the night and one German, pretending to be wounded lay outside the wire entanglements before an American position beseeching help. He was acting as a screen for the others, who were armed with hand grenades. The Germans, failing to entice the Americans from their trenches, attacked, but the Americans made it so hot for them that they fled in confusion. The casualties are believed to have been comparatively heavy.
 The roar of heavy artillery contin- ues day and night in this sector.

Failure of Big German Drive Causes Criticism
 By Lords.

London. May 9.-Former influen- tial officers in the German army, sup porters of von Moltke, former chief of staff, are agitating against Field Marshal ven Hindenburg, on the ground that the German successes on the western front have not reached expectations, according to reports at The Hague, transmitted under reserve by the correspondent of the Daily Mail
 Another report which, according to the correspondent, appears to have some foundation, is that sharp con flict of opinion has arisen between Field Marshal von Hindenburg, Gen.. LudenHorff and the crown prince on one side, and Chancellor von Hertlng and Foreign Secretary von Kuehl- mann on the other, The emperor. af- ter considerable wavering, is said to have inclined to von Hertling's side, altho hesitatingly.
