From uncensored sources the COM
mittee on public information has re
ceived editorial comment on the presi-
dents recent message in the Frank
| furter Zeitung, a liberal organ with
large circulation throughout the Ger
man empire. The following paragraph
appears in the translation:
''The foundation for the peace ne
gotiations has not yet been found, but
! we have approached much nearer to
it. Wilson seeks a way out of the war
in accord with US. We see no reason
for exposing ourselves any longer tc
the charge of lack of clarity about our
war aims. Germany and her allies
should come out openly with theil
terms. Then perhaps it will be seer
that a continuation of the war can be
avoided and the resistance of govern
ments to the desire for peace of theil
peoples can be overcome"
A large harvest and storage of nat
ural ice for summer use is being urged
accompanied by the statement that un
precedented demands for ammonia b!
the army and navy indicate a shortage
in this chemical SO widely used in pro
ducing ice and in refrigerators.
A shortage of ice during warm wealth
er in 1913 would result in untold vast
of perishable foods in the home, il
small creameries, and other establish
ments dependent upon constant ic
service. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has for distribu
ton complete information on the har
: vesting and storing of natural ice.
