GERARD DOES BEAR KAISER'S PEACE
PROPOSALS, BELIEF IN BERLIN
The following dispatch was received by the United Press today in re
sponse to a request for comment on the report that Germany had decided to
of k for peace. It s believed to be of tremendous significance in view of the
fact that t was passed by the German censor.
By CARL W. ACKEKMAN
United Press StaK CorresrwiHJent.
COLOGNE, Oct 7 (Dclaycd)r-It is not Impossible that Ambassador
Ocrard Is conveying peace proposals to America. Before departing from
Berlin ho held most important conferences with Chancellor von Bethmann
Ilollwcg, Foreign Secretary von Jagow. Doctor SoItT, Secretary for tho
Colonics, and several leading members of the Reichstag.
o, , Ii,J" l?,lcrcd hcro. $ i the time for Washington to make peace.
Only Washington can do this, because she, possesses such great influence with
London and Paris.
Now Is the psychological moment for if peace is not made now the war
must last another year as the winter campaign is now prepared.
An armistice Is not mentioned, but it is believed that President Wilson
can appeal to the Powers and ask them to send special representatives to
Washington to ncgotlato peace.
In the meantime, tho war can go on and these negotiations may form the
basis of a durable peace.

Reading Counsel on Board
William It. Klnter, assistant general
counsel for the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company, was elected to the board
of directors of the company at the meeting
today In place of Henry C Frlck, of New
York, who declined re-election. Mr. Klnter
also was elected to the board of the Phila
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany, where Mr, Frlck also declined re
election. Other members of the board of
both companies were re-eleoted. The direc
tors of the Reading Company, who met
earlier, received and approved the annual
report for that company. The full board of
directors was re-elected. Including Mr.
Frlck, who did not deollne re-election In the
holding company.
A wave of patriotism sucn as has not
been experienced since the Spanish-American
war swept Philadelphia today when
members of the First Regiment, bronzed
and seasoned from service on the Mexican
border, marched up Broad street through a
lane flanked by cheering throhgs.
The spectacle gladdened the hearts of
pessimists, who were certain that the true
American splrll of patriotism had, long
'since died In Philadelphia.
From the Pennsylvania Railroad station
at Broad street and Washington avenue to
Convention Hall, at Broad street and Alle
gheny avenue, Broad street was lined on
both sides with thousands of men, women
and children, who waved flsgs and shouted
themselves hoarse In their enthusiasm. It
was a home-coming reception that exceeded
the fondest dreams of the special Joint
councllmanlo committee In charge of. the
celebration.
LOOK LIKE REGULARS
There were evidences an along the line
of march that the people who remained at
home were deeply affected by the soldierly
appearance of the First Regiment The
returning soldier boys revealed evidences
of their long training on the border. They
were full of "pep," their step and forma
tion was almost perfect They marched
like regulars, with their shoulders thrown
back and their heads erect By the set of
their Jaws and their confident swing they
showed the effects of military discipline. It
was a revelation to the thousands who lined
the sidewalks.
The psychology of the crowds was in
teresting. In most cases there was a dead
silence when the First Regiment boys came
into view. Nothing could be heard but the
regular tramp of thousands of feet over
the asphalt.
The spectators leaned forward, noting
every detail of the home-coming troops.

tween Walker and Hooper. They chased
after It, each taking a flying dive to inter
cept its course, but the old ball skipped on
merrily to the fence, yrMlt Myers touched
all of the bases for a home run. The ef
fect of this wallop was great and whereas
earlier in the game the Dodgers were look
ing for mercy, now they were fighting mad.
The third out wniy registered when Harry
Hooper pulled down Wheat's drive.
Sherrod Smith was trotted out by Man
ager Robinson as t,he pitcher to the amass

' HOWELL ELLIS I
Nervous derangement, culminating In as
uncontrollable homicidal mania, is believed
by officials Investigating the case to liv.'
Impelled William Howell Ellis to kill his
wife, Augusta Wllloughby Kills, and to
shoot himself at Hollyhock Farm, the
Ellis home on the Bethlehem pike at Ban
nockburn avenue, one half mile south of
Ambler.
Letters found today In the rooms oosu
pled by the couple show that Sills had long
been in 111 health. Some of the letters,
written by the wife to her husband, express
solicitude for Ellis's condition and hope that
fits of despondency and gloom, from whlek
he had suffered, had passed. The notes are
couched in affectionate terms, as are other
letters written by Kills to his wife dttrtog
the same period
Intimate friends and neighbors declase
that the home life of the couple was t4e4
in its happiness. Th'j only rift, thysy,
was occasioned by Ellis's delusions.
