FIRE. n CH SOCIALISTS
A ADDRESS W|LSO 0 \
ON PEACE OFFER.
WANT HUNS OFFER DIS
CUSSED BEFORE REJECTED,
RESOLUTION DECLARES

Paris. Oct. 7.-(Havas AgencyO-
The national congress Of the social
ist party which opened in Paris yes
terday, adopted resolution ad-
dressed to President Wilson con-
cerning the peace proposals of the
central powers. 1t expressed the
view of the party that while indis-
pensable diplomatic and military
guarantees should be eNacted from
the enemy, it was the duty OF the
allied nations not to reject without
discussion such proposals as have
been made.
The message says the socialist
party sees in the move made by the
central powers, accompanied by the
retirement Of their troops from the
fighting front, the probability that
the enemy peoples will be brought TO
a clearer understanding OF right and
liberty.
The resolution refers to President
Wilson's speech OF September y,
and asks the entente allied govern
ments frankly to declare their pur-
pose. The resolution adds;
The party associates itself more
than ever in all acts Of President
Wilson, which will have the result Of
giving satisfaction to the masses
who struggle and who have the right,
more than all others. OF having the
response (to the central powers) not
open to any misunderstanding. 1t
is by this policy that the socialist
party feels that it like President Will
son, is working to bring about a
Just and durable peace"

enemy are to be rejected without
examination. There is however,
a well defined test which must be
met by any offer which the enemy
makes.
This is Germany's first formal Of
fer OF peace. 1t was noted that it
was made to the president with a
request that he invite America 5 as
SociateS in the war to send pleni-
potentiarles for the opening OF ne
gotiations. Attention was also di-
rected to the fact that throughout
the note, the term, the German
government was used with the I'm
perial" omitted. This copy of tn,
note. however, was not the official
one.
General opinions OF the proposal
were voiced in many quarters. 1t
was that Germany might be spar
ring for time and winter to aid her
battered army, and the other that
the German effort, coming at this
time, might have been intended to
affect the fourth Liberty loan cam
paign by leading many people in
America to believe that the end Of
the war is near.
No one in Washington gave
thought to any proposal that the
victorious forces of the allies and
America should cease their steady
push against the retreating enemy,
while there are discussions Of
peace terms As to the effect on the
Liberty loan, there was a quietly
confident air everywhere that the
American people would give their
answer to the proposal, but the
peace on allied terms. and would
make even a greater subscription of
the loan than otherwise might have
been.

(By The Associated PresS.)
Unconditional surrender is the
answer Of the American press to the
appeal for peace made by Austria
and Germany. Official copies of the
peace proposals of the central pow
ers have not yet been acted upon
by President Wilson, but it is re-
ported that the attitude of official
Washington does not encourage the
hope entertained by the enemy that
the allies can be induced to enter
into negotiations at time when
Marshal Foch's mastery strategy
is beginning to bear fruit
So far as press comments reflect
the situation in France and Eng
land, there is no disposition in those
countries to consider the effort Of
the enemy other than new move
ment which promises little more
than might have been expected from
the former peace proffers made by
the central powers.

roughs, president of the National
Training School for Women and
Girls. this city, Is carried out.
The first step in the plan will be to
raise $4,000 in a campaign begin
ming August 1 to be used in equip
ping the school here to train 200
colored women at q time for periods
Of ten weeks. II the plan works out
as contemplated. the following courses
will be offered:
Proposed Training Course.
Best methods of preparing and saw
ing food: practical housekeeping:
waiting in public and private places:
home gardening; canning and dry
ing; motor and truck driving and re-
pairing; operation of elevators: first
aid and emergency work: trained
supervisors of women's work; trained
welfare superintendents: group lead
erS among woman workers.; cleaning
and care of public buildings.
In connection with these courses the
school will conduct a lecture course to
instruct colored women to spread the
gospel of loyalty and conservation.
The whole plan is characterized by
+ Miss Burroughs as one to train col
ored women into an army behind
the Army"
Miss Burroughs points out that the
National Training School for Women
and Girls in this city is the logical
institution for organizing this army
because 1t is nationally known, and
the women who own 1t live in the
states where they are in touch with
hundreds of women of their race who
should be trained for this work.
Miss Burroughs Statement.
There is not in all America any
provision for the training of colored
women for war emergency work."
reads statement issued by Miss
Burroughs.
Special courses are being offered
other women. We must not lose sight
OF the fact that the colored woman
Is a most valuable ally. Her power
and influence reaches from the kitch-
en- to the castle from desk to
ditch. She handles the food for 10,-
100000 Of her own race, as well as
millions of tons for other Americans.
The country needs her intelligent CO.
operation in its food conservation
work and In other war activities
America needs every woman, black
and white. to help win this war, It
Is as necessary to provide for the
training of colored women as it is to
provide for the training of other
women to release men for service
