concerning the appointment of a sue
cessor to Harry N. Gilbert, as head
of the Wayne county food organiza-
ton to assist Attorney General Palmer

Gilbert has received no reply to his
letter asking that he be relieved of
his position as head of the organiza-
ton in the county, and has taken
steps toward starting the machinery
of the county organization in motion.
That some action may be taken on
the suggestion of State Attorney Gen
eral Eli Stansbury. Wednesday, that
prosecuting attorneys may conduct
an investigation of food conditions
without going to the expense of the
county grand jury. is probable in
Wayne county, according to county
officials.
Prosecuting Attorney Gath Freeman
is out of the city today, and it is
not known what action he will take,
but other county officials will prob
ably conduct an investigation in case
the prosecutor does not act.

ASQU|TH LAUNCHED
PEACEFEELER
1917, SAYS WOMAN
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN. Tuesday, Aug. 12-H. H.
Asquith, then British premier, launch
ed a pea ce feeler" in August 1917,
according to letter written by Frau
Frieda Perlen, president of the Stutt-
CART branch of the International
Woman's league for peace and free
dom, to the Freiheit. She quotes a
letter she received that time from
Jonkher, J. o. Jong Van Beck en-
Donk, secretary of the Dutch anti
militarist league in which he inform
ed her than Mr.. Asquith had asked
him to put the direct question to the
German chancellor, saying that a
good answer would be of tremendous
Importance"
The letter to Frau Perlen said it
was thought that Mr.. Asquith was
ready for an understanding if the
reichstag should demonstrate it ruled
the situation and really possessed the
power in Germany. This point it was
said would be carried if the majority
of the reichstag should succeed in
bringing about an unequivocal official
statement regarding Belgium. The
letter begged her to do her utmost to
induce the reachstag to issue such Il
statement.
Van Beck said that the declaration
of DR.. Georg Michaelis, then German
imperial chancellor, relative to a safe
guarding of boundaries had, as he con-
ceived it, created an unfavo1a BILE i'm
preston abroad and declared that he
wanted to establish whether the
reichstag would not make clear the
German stand regarding Belgium.
Frau Perlen states that she took the
letter to members of the Reichstag
who promised to present the matter
! before committees but she adds: The
| leading men of the reichstag parties
| were so weak against the government
military dictatorship they were guilty
of COLLAPSE"

Early Vote on Senate if
Consideration is Not Hast
ened.
AMENDMENT THURSDAY
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-At a
stormy session today. the senate for
eign relations committee, agreed to
expedite consideration of the peace
treaty. Re-reading Of the disputed sec
tions and the consideration Of possible
amendments will begin tomorrow.
Senator Hitchcock Nebraska, rank
Ing Democrat OF the committee, was
understood to have told the commit
tee that unless there was early COM
smittee action, an attempt might be
made to force a vote on the treaty
in the senate
Chairman Lodge and others were
understood to have expressed assent
to the proposal to hasten the commit
tees consideration but Senator Fall,
Republican. New Mexico, was said to
have taken the position that any pre-
'cfpitate action would be impracticable.
Interest In Program.
There has been a revival of interest
in the proposal for a definite reserva-
ton program along the lines recently
agreed on by seven Republican Sen
.ators. In informal discussions among
senators, possible acceptance Of the
program by Senator Lodge, the Re-
publican leader was a central feature
OF interst. Leaders of the reservation
group said they were very hopeful
that Mr.. Lodge would agree to their
plan but the party leader himself had
no announcement to make.
Within a few days 1t is expected
there will be a conference of the
reservation advocates with Senator
Lodge and other Republicans. Should
a score or more come to an agree
ment on reservations 1t is believed
negotiations will begin with Demo
cratic leaders with a view to finding
a middle ground on which the treaty
can be ratified with reservations in
the near future. So far, however, the
administration forces have shown no
sign Of abandoning their fight for un-
reserved ratification.
