WASHINGTON SEES
SAME OLD PEACE
TRAP OF TEUTONS
New Terms Seem More Fa
vorable to Huns, Says
State Chief
Washington. July 25.—1n th<
peace suggestions which the Berlir
Vorwaerts declares the German gov
ernment is about to advance to ih
Entente and America through th<
Spanish government, officials lier<
detect the German design, embodied
in some shape in almost every one
of the peace proposals which have
emanated from Berlin or Vienna
to leave to a round table conference
the actual definition of peace terms
President Wilson and Premier!
Llovd George of Great Britain, and
Clemenceau. of France, have re
corded themselves definitely tha' na
peace conference will be entered i*i
to unless there has been an accept
ance by the Central Powers of the
exa< t terms upon which the con
ference is to be conducted and of
the broad principles to govern 'he
negotiators.
President Wilson's definition c-f
the terms upon which America is
willing to din-uss peace has been ac
cepted by all of the great Entente
Powers as representative of •heii'
own desires. Officials here point out
that German} is quite well aware of
these conditions and consequently
they can only view this reported ntw
attempt at peace negotiations as an
other apne.il to the pacifist elements
in the Entente, and also as intended
to quiet tn uneasy Socialistic ele
ments withir. the Central Powers
who are believed to be again in a
dangerous mood.
Acting Secretary of State Polk a*d
the new terms seemed more favor
able to Germany than any that h.id
been mado hitherto. •
Germany's renunciation of t,ny
designs on western territory in con
sideration of her retention of the
spoils she has wrung from Russia
and Rumania through the Brest-
L-itovsk ar.d Jassv treaties, it is also
pointed out. is directly at variance
with President Wilson's declaration,
seconded by Great Britain, of his
firm intention to stand behind, Rus
sia.
Finally as s further evidence that'
thsW new peace suggestions are
unacceptable, officials call attention
lo Pres'dent Wilson's firm declara
tion that the wrong done in France'
ir. 1870 through the seizure by Ger-!
many of Alsace-Lorraine, and the
wrong done to Belgium in her en
forced occupation by Germany miist|
be undone. Consequently officials
hold that these great issues can-;
l ot be left to any round table confer
ence.
It ai.so is noted that Vorwaerfs
is not repiesentative of the Ger
man government in any sense: that
it is the Socialistic mouthpiece, and
that it would be the last among the
gieat German papers to be in posi
tion to set out the purposes of the 1
government in ordinary conditions. I

WARNING! Yon Most Fill Out These Blanks!
DETERMINED
CAMPAIGN ON TO
; ROUT OUT GRAFT
Raincoat Scandal in New
York Broadens to Cover
Other Army Contracts
Washington, July 25.—With the
raincoat scandal in New York
branching out to cover overcoats,
uniforms, leggings and shoes, the
War Department and the Depart
ment of Justice let it be known yes- '
terday that a determined campaign '
is on to rout out graft in connection ,
with furnishing supplies for the
army. An investigation by Congress j
also impends.
A formal statement from the War
Department yesterday said:
"Robert J. Thome, assistant to the
! acting quartermaster general, after
a preliminary investigation in re
gard to the raincoat Inspection scan
dal in New York, states that any
suspicion of the integrity of the
army officers is apparently without
a shred of evidence to substantiate
the statements. The entire situation
has been greatly magnified to the ex
tent that a grave inustice is being
done to the reputation of the army
officers.
Calls Charge Magnified
"It is impossible to meet the
emergency of suddenly equipping the
army without a few sporadic in
stances of dishonesty coming to the
surface, but it is an outrage to have
such instances magnified into an un
just accusation of army officers; but
fortunately. the integrity of the
army officers is so well understood
by the general public that very few
people give any credence to these
unfounded accusations.
"The investigation of the raincoat
inspection system was made at the
instigation of the Quartermaster
| Corps, which realized that with
thousands of new civilian inspectors
obtained through the Civil Service
Commission, here and there a dis
honest one would be taken on. It is
firmly believed by the department
that the final inspection conducted
at the depot will detect all raincoats
not properly fabricated."
Information shedding light on
methods by which manufacturers
were able to evade rigid inspection
tests and pass inferior articles to fill
government contracts is understood
to have been gathered from new con
fessions of some of the eighteen rain
coat contractors under arrest in New
York, charged with bribery*, fraud
or conspiracy.
Action will be taken against the
other manufacturers as rapidly as
specific proof of fraud is developed,
it was said. In some cases officials
plan to give publicity to the prac
tices without undertaking criminal
prosecutions. The reason for this, it
was explained, is that government
agents have evidence of irregularity
and profiteering in hundreds of con
tracts without the substantiating
proof on which conviction might be
based.
South Africans Surprise

I Britlkh Hendqanrtera in France,
1 July 25. Via Ottawa.—The South Af
ricans who took part in the success
ful attack at Meteren. on the Flan
ders front, on July 17, came from all
quarters of that dominion and in
cluded a goodly proportion of the
Dutch element. Forming the right
wing of the British force, they ad

of the other units.
Advancing behind a smoke screen
and wearing gas masks, the South

AIM TO INCREASE
ARMY OF YOUTH

■ Suggestion For Boosting Re
serve Strength Would Give
Souths Uniforms
Washington. July 25.—Suggestions
j to increase the number of boys of
i high school age who are helping to
j win the war by service under the
- boys working reserve of the depart
ment of labor, and to put them in
| uniform to emphasize their distinc
i tive war service, will be made by
j some of the delegates to a two days
I convention to commence in Philadel
phia on Friday.
Several cf the delegates who will
attend arj now in Washington. A
<.eriain amount of military training
: each week is included in the pro
: sram of supply camps from which
; the boys arc sent to their present
i service on the farms. This is true
: of the tweive supply camps in Penn
j sylvania, where, under John C. Fra-
J zee. the service has been developed,
| it is said, to the highest point of effi-
I cicncy in any of the states.
' Other schemes for enlarging and
> perfecting the plans of the service
, are being matured by officials of the
| reserve themselves. The military
i feature, which some of the delegates
pointed to to-day with enthusiasm,
i. meeting in Pennsylvania and else
where. they say, with some opposi
tion. They consider their case strong
enough in view of the new proved
merit of "preparedness" to beat
down or convince the opposition.
Doctor Mann to Speak
Doctor Mann is to be one of the
speakers at the convention which is
• to be held at the City Club, and at
I the Chamber of Commerce.
I Present industrial conditions.
! which are drawing youths from the
; high schools, will be considered. It
is estimated that, next fall, 14 per
cent, less than usual of the boys who
would ordinarily enter high school,
will do so, because of the attraction
of war wages. A plan suggested to
day by one of these who will attend
the conference was that all boys now
engaged in industry be enrolled in
the boys' working reserve with the
j provision which might be made by
j the I'nited States employment serv
, ice. that only those so enrolled shall
be recognized by the government for
1 employment in war industries. With
' this hold on the boys, some program
| for compelling a continuance of theiri
j educational training might be cn
| forced. The reserve enrolls boys
I from 16 to 20 years of age. The
i plan was not worked out in detail
| by the delegates who suggested it. |
It was pointed out by officials of
j service, when the plan was men-!
tioned to them that the reserve will 1
' not place in industrial and muni-'
• tion work the boys enrolled under it.,
In Pennsylvania and other states;
t the 250,000 boys who have been I
| trained have been sent into agricul-I
tural work. In this, they have been;
i in a number of localities the saving,
factor at harvest time. More than :
1.200 have been graduated from thej
! training school at Pennsylvania State 1
j College. An appropriation for ex-j
tending the work was recently made ;
by the state council of defense.
Manv Delegates at Meeting
Nearly every state east of the Mis- i
sissippi will be represented at the
Philadelphia conference. Id.eas willj
be exchanged with representatives'
from states where the reserve has;
not been developed, and visits will'
be made to the camps and coinmu-!
nities in Pennsylvania where it liasi
been developed to the highest point, j
As a result, it is expected the work I
of the reserve will be extended :io as!
to care for a large part of the farm I
labor shortage, to develop the boys j
themselves along patriotic and help-!
ful lines, and to create a more wide-'
spread and distinctive recognition of!
the war service which the boys arej
doing.
Lieutenant Governor McClain and 1
Adjutant General Beary will ad-!
dress the conference. Arrangements!
are being made through E. C. J?n-I
kins, chairman of the committee for;
that purpose, in the Finance Build-!
ing Philadelphia.
Dmitri, Heir to Russ
Throne, in Allies Army
By Associated Press
l.ondon, July 2S. The former
Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovitch.
cousin of the late Russian Emperor,
has just been appointed an honorary
captain in the British army. Dmit
ri. according to the Daily Telegraph,
was present at the famous supper at
the palace of Prince YoussoupofT in
Petrograd which resulted in the death
of the priest Rasputin. He was ar
rested on the order of the Russian
Empress and banished by the Emper
or to the Persian front. He owes his
personal safety to the fact that he
was on the Persian front when the
revolution broke out.
The Daily Express says that If the
report of the death of the former
heir-apparent Alexis is true. Dmitri
is heir to the Russian throne, as the
sons of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexan
drovitch lost their right to succes
sion some years ago.

Has No Bottom
Portland, Ore.—A lake, known as
the Great Sunken Lake, is reported to
be the deepest lake in this country,
and perhaps in the whole world.
Located in the valley of the Cas
cade Mountains, about seventy miles
north of Jacksonville, Ore., this lake,
hich is about fifteen miles long and
four miles wide, is so deep that its
depth cannot be measured.
It is situated so far below the crest
of the mountains that winds cannot
reach it, and its surface is like a ,
sheet of glass, it is sometimes called !
the "Lake of Mystery."
Wearing "Specs" Is Habit,
This Old Soldier Says
Sandusky. Ohio.—Depending on
glasses is a habit to a fhore or less
extent, according to Daniel McQuaid,
State Soldiers' Home veteran. Mc-
Quaid. a patient in the hospital, has
been using glasses when reading for
more than forty years. The other day
he picked up a book, he says, and
soon was deeply interested in its con
tents. After he had been perusing
the pages for an hour or more he
laid the volume aside and reached
up to remove his spectacles which,
much to his surprise, were not in
their accustomed place. He was read
ing without them.
Finds Buried Treasure
While Spading Garden
Covington, Ind.—Roy Keller, a
farmer living at Coal Creek, nine
miles south, was spading in his gar
den and dug up a glass jar contain
ing sllO in bills, wrapped in a linen
rag. The jar was sealed. The money
was in a bad state of preservation,
evidently having been in the jar for
several years. Keller took the money,
to the bank, where it was accepted
at its full value. It is believed the
money was buried during the riot
and strike of the miners in which
fourteen negroes were killed, forty
s"ears ago.

Philadelphia. July 25.—Montaria
t„avegas, of 120 South street, Phila
delphia, has had a more varied war
career than many men who have ac- '
tually seen war service in the
trenches of France. Yet he enlisted
yesterday at the British and Can
adian Recruiting Mission, at Six- 1
and Chestnut streets. He
wan Dorn twenty-six years ago at!
Monteblo, Jamaica, and has spent
the last lifteen years of his life at
sea. Since the war started in 1914,;
he has crossed the Atlantic some
thirty-five times and four ships on
which he served were sent to the
bottom. "What does it feel like to
be torpedoed?" Sergeant Major
Wells asked the much rescued sea
man. "Oh, it might be much worse,

out smoke boxes and lost trace of

YANKEE WOUNDED
YEARN FOR U.S.
BEEF AND ONIONS
Unusual Spirit of Self Sacri
fice Shown in Overseas
Hospital
With Uie Americans Xcar SolsaonTj
July 26. —A truckload of fresh beef
went rushing up to a certain hos
pital behind the front at the order of
an American general last night. The
general had visited a large number
of our wounded at noon, passing
from cot to cot inqutrlng:
"Well, boys, what can I do for
you?"
"This is the answer I got," he said
to-day, telling of tho visit:
"General, can't you get us some
good old beefsteak smothered In
onions. They want to keep feeding
us soup—and say, general, a few
smokes wouldn't go bad."
"I know just how they feel. They're
going to get their beefsteak, onion 3
and smokes. They can have anything
they want from me; I like that
crowd."
Among several hundred wounded
the general had heard only three
complaints about treatment. The
doughboys are showing a wonderful
spirit of selfsacriflce. For example,
the doctors passed along one spot
where wounded lay stretched be
neath trees; the doctors were pick
ing out the cases to be sent to the
rear.
"Take BUI," Ho Pleads
"Don't take me, doc; take Rill
there. I'm not in bad shape, i u.n
stand it here a while," said a Penn
sylvanian.
"Shut up, Shorty," answered Bill,
"you go yourself. You're dying and
don't know it, and I'll knock what's
left of your blooming head off if you
. say another word."
Another scene; It took place this
morning in a hospital farther in the
rear, where a young Kentuckian lay
mortally wounded. Unable to speak,
he beckoned the nurse and made
signs indicating he was thirsty. She
brought him a glass of water. He
drank it, eagerly, then motioned her
to stoop near the side of his cot.
He patted her on the cheek, then
closed his eyes.
His heart had ceased beating.
