OFFER OF PEACE IS MADE TO RUSSIA BY GERMAN CHANCELLOR Von BethmantjpHollweg Refuses to Give Outlines of Terms on Which War Might End; Declares U-Boats Are Operating Successfully By Associated Press lierllw, via London, May 16. —1n one of the most vigorous and plain spoken speeches he has yet made be fore the Reichstag since the outbreak of the war, the Imperial Chancellor has bluntly refused to enter into a discussion of Germany's peace aims j as demanded in interpellations by the Conservatives and Socialists. Dr.! Von Mithniann-Hollweg asserted that those called for the government's specific peace program, the an nouncement of which would at the present time not only be premature but which it would be difficult to for mulate, and also of no practical ser vice to the nation in the present situation. While appreciating the passionate desire of all classes to know the gov ernment's views, the Chancellor plainly declared that he would not permit himself to be swayed by pres sure from any source, and that he was not under the spell of any party or clique. The best interests of the nation, he believed demanded that the reticence he had imposed on himself in the face of continuous clamor since December, 1915, should be observed by the national at large, which continued to rally around its Emperor, and would axso meet tho views of the majority of the mem bers of the Reichstag. Generalities Only "On giving liberty for the free dis cussion of war aims I have it ex pressly declared that the government could not and would not participate in the conflict of views," declared the Chancellor. "I also protested against any positive conclusions whatever regarding the government's attitude being drawn from the gov ernment's silence. "I now repeat this protest in the most conclusive form. What I was ever able to say about our war aims 1 say here in the Reichstag publicly. They were general principles—-they could not be more—but they were clear enough to exclude identification such as was attemnted with other programs. These fundamental lines have been adhered to up to to-day. They found further solemn expres sion in the peace offer made con jointly with our allies of December 12. 1916. "The supposition, which has re cently arisen, that some differences of opinion existed on the peace ques tion between us and our allies be longs to the realm of fable. I ex pressly affirm this now with cer tainty. I am. at the same time, also expressing the conviction that the leading statesmen of the powers which are our allies are with us.

Keeping the gums healthy and the mouth sweet Is very important to health; more teeth are lost through the loosening of the tissue that hoids the teeth in place than from decay. Dental science to-day demands that a tooth paste must keep the gums healthy as weii as clean the teeth. Senreco was formulated to meet this requirement. Hundreds of den tists are prescribing and using Senreco because they have found that it does measure up to that standard. SENRECO IS A WONDERFUL CLEANSER. In addition to its remedial properties Senreco is a wonderful cleanser; acts directly on the mucin film, the basis of tcrtar; leaves the mouth cool and clean-feeling. As some one has expressed it—Senreco gives one a new idea on mouth cleanliness. Get a tube to-day at your druggists or toilet counter—enjoy the healthy, cleanly feeling its use give* your mouth and gums. Notice how brilliantly white Senreco makes your teeth. It performs this two-fold service for you and yet costs no more than the ordinary, old-fashioned tooth paste that simply cleans the teeth and leaves a pleasant taste—2s cents for a large t ounce tube. • \ BLEMISHES MUST GO | Impossible for blackhead, pimple or sallow com- plexion to remain after a wek or two with OH, JAS, P, CAMPHHI.I.'M AKME.MC ( UMI'I,GXIO.\ WAKEBS Just imagine Halt or sugar remaining In a pool when water passes over it.

I understand the call for ' clearness which to-day Is addressed j to me from the right and the left. But In the discussion of our war alma tho only guiding line for me is the early and satisfactory conclusion of the war. Beyond that I cannot do or say anything. "Even to-day I see no readiness for peace on the part of England or France, nothing of the abandonment of their excessive aims of conquest and economic destruction. Where (hen were the governments who last winter openly stood up before the I world In order to terminate this in-1 sane slaughter of peoples? Were they in London or in Paris? The most recent utterance which I have heard from London declares that the war aims which were announced two years ago remain unaltered. • Offers Russia Peace "As regards our eastern neighbor, Russia, I have already recently spoken. It appears as if New Rus sia had declined for herself these violent plajis of conquest. Whether Russia will or can act in the same sense on her allies 1 am unable to estimate. Doubtless England, with the assistance of her allies, is em ploying all her efforts to keep Russia harnessed to England's war chariot and to traverse Russian wishes for speedy restoration of the world's peace. "If, however, Russia wants to pre-J vent further bloodshed and re nounces all violent plans of conquest for herself, if she wishes to restore durable relations of peaceful life side by side with us. then surely It js a matter of course that we, as we share this wish, will not disturb the permanent relationship in the fu ture and will not render its develop ment impossible by demands, which, indeed, do not accord with the free dom of nations and would deposit in the Russian nation the germ of enmity (thunderous applause). Military Position Good "I doubt not that an agreement, aiming exclusively at a mutual un derstanding, could be attained, which excludes every thought of oppression and which would leave behind no sting and no discord. "Our military position has never been so good since the beginning of the war. The enemy in the west, de spite his terrible . losses, cannot break through. Our U-boats are operating with Increasing success. I won't use any line words about them; the deeds of our U-boat men speak for themselves. 1 think even the neutrals will recognize these." President Anxious to Stop Food Speculation Washington, May 16. —Delegations of labor leaders here for conferences with the British labor envoys were told by President Wilson at the White House yesterday that he con sidered that'"nothing woulfl be more deplorable" than any movement in the present crisis to set aside tem porarily the laws which safeguard standards of labor. I'l do not doubt," said the Presi dent, "that any body of men repro senting labor will be willing to make any sacrifice that is necessary to carry this contest to a successful Issue, and in this confidence I fe?l that It would be Inexcusable if we deprived men and women of such a spirit of any of the existing safe guards of the law." The President mentioned particu larly proposals to have state legis latures set aside labor standard laws during the war. He declared he had been "much alarmed" by such sug gestions. In the delegation were about one hundred fifty labor representatives, headed by Samuel Gompers and his associates on the labor committee of the National Defense Council. After the visit to the White House they went into conference with the Brit ish labor leaders at the American Federation headquarters, discussing in detail wartime labor problems.

Choate's Memory Honored by English Jurists By Associated Press London, May 16.—A1l the Judges of the higher courts gathered in the King's bench division this morning to pay respect to the memory of Joseph H. Choate. Viscount Reading, lord chief justice, who presided, paid an eloquent tribute to the distinguished American. Mr. Choate, said the chief justice, was a lawyer above every thing. He was cradled in the law, loved his profession, and his thoughts were influenced by the study of the law. He was not only an American lawyer, but a Bencher of the middle temple. He also was a great ambas sador and one of the most distinguish ed citizens of the United States. They remembered him, Vlscounf Reading continued, as one who was gracefui and eloquent in his orations and dignitted aud lofty in his more se rious utterances. He had charm and humor In his lighter efforts and throughout all there could always be traced one great Ideal—"co-operation etween our two nations." Swiss RJinister to Leave U. S.

Nothing daunted, the "News ac cepts the challenge, and brings forth Charles Kirk, of Dover, who now comes amd depones as follows: That until three years ago he was the owner of a thoroughbred Jersey cow, whlclf, at the age of nineteen years and ten months, gave birth to her nineteenth calf; that at the age of sixteen years she was producing forty-two pounds of milk per day, which tested five per cent, at the Dover creamery; that after the cow was twenty-one years of age she went blind, and was disposed of to Cincinnati parties. 70 State College Girls Organize Wireless Unit State College, Pa., May 16.—Sev enty girls students at the Pennsylva nia State College, have organized a reserve unit of wireless telegraph operators.
