GERMAN MILITARY DICTATORS REJECTED PEACE OVERTURES Berlin, July 18.—The report of the second sub-committee of the commit- tee of investigation on President Wil- son’s peace effort during the inter ef 1916-1917, prepared by Prdfessor sinsheimsr, former sccialist member of the reic! theé conclusion that Pres on’s action made peace overtures possible but that the German government, not availing it- self of them, instead took a stand for unrestricted U-boat warfare. The 1cport made available in full here today, is signed by.sx members of the different political parties. It is a grave indictment of Germany's mili- tary dictators at the time. The report shows how the economists of Chancel- lor von Bethpann-Hollweg's civil government, even Dr. Karl Helfferich, then minister of finanee, did not believe unrestricted U-boat warfare could en- sure Germany victory. As the gravest mistake, {\e report mentions the fact! that America's resources were com- pletely under-estimated. The report says it evas argued the submarines would prevent the trans- -n of American troops, “if there were a: i further declares that the submarined failed to terrorize suf- ficiently 1 1 shipping, but not suf- ficient attention was paid to the anti- T-boat measures of Germany’s ene- ies, and, finally, that when America ed the war the military authori- for its inevitable lengthy protraction. That ihe German public was gross- Iy misled is a further charge in_ the Teport, which implies that although the economic ‘experts” gave adhesion to cted U-boat warfare at the be- hest of the military leaders, the experts Were rabid party men and did not n-! clude really fist class authorities, es- pe-ially on shipping, whom the report holds should have been consulted. In . the repor: goes on,."no ar-, guments against U 0at War were per- mitted to be placed at any time,” before the reichstag. The report especiallyy mentions the withholding from public Lrow.edge of mmunications from D..

The railway labor board, created under the Esch-Cummins transportation act, Wwill hand down toorrow ~morning its first award, increasing the pay of virtually all the 2,000 000 railroad employes of the countr G Tonight, on the eve of the decision, reports ‘gym reliable quarters indicate the awara would average from 50 to 60 per cent, of the amount asked by the men, or between $500,000,000 and '$600,- 000,000 of the billion dollar total they sought. 2 Judge R. M. Bartor, chairman of the board, admitted “that is not far off,” when shown the report. The board de- clded today, at the fequest of newspa- pers, to announce its deciison at 8.30 o'~ clock instead of 10 a. m., as first planned. Whether an award on the basis report- ed would be acceptable to the men no union officer tonight was prepared to say. Nearly 1,000 brotherhood chairmen and [ executives held an all-day session to dis- cuss union affairs and adjourned until to- morrow morning, when they will receive the board's report. Feeling of pessimism was evident wWhen the union leaders met, and privately they did not hesitate to declare that a general strike was a possibility. Tonight, how- ever it was virtually certain that the union chiefs themselves would not call a strike, but would submit the question of accepting of rejecting the board's award to a referendum. < The labor board began an investigation today of the looting of its offices last night, when someone broke in and stole, among other things, a copy of the award. Two_co had been prepared, one for the board’s files and the otHer for the printer. It was the former Which Wwas stolen. TROLLEYS MAY DISCONTINUE IN BRIDGEPORT JULY 26 Bridgeport, July 19.—President Lucius S. Storrs in a letter receiyed by Mayor C. B. Wilson today gives notice that un- less the restraining jitney ordinance bes comes effective within a very short time trolley cperation will be discontinued in Eridgeport Monday, July 26. The letter, dated Saturday, says: “Nothing the action regarding the in- junction, in withholding deciison on some. Wasaington, Dr. Frans Von F formar military attache to thle emias-} Heinrich F.

The capitulation of the civil govern-i ment's’ misgivings to what now has proved to be the mistaxen policy of frightfulne: and the fact that ihe reichstag was kept in ignorance of { the true situation were, according to the report, the cause of Germany’s cel- se. p lal‘)'ThE historical blame of Germany's political government is” the report continues, “that on the vital question of Germany's existence _il unow_ed_to happen that which in its cun\')cllon was pernicious to the country.

H. Merrill, assist- ant entomologist of the Kansas Agricul- tural experiment station. ‘While it requires slightly more honey for preserving fruits. bee keepers can save meney by using the product of bees, since the cost of manufacturing it is al- most nothing, the insnectors pointed out. They said thousands of dollars’ worth of honey from the clover and alfalfa fields of the state goes to waste annually be- cause comparatively few farmers keep bees. ‘ MACHINE GUN_ TURNED ON MOB AT GRAHAM, N, C. Greensbero, N. C.. July 19.—One per- yon is reported to hav ebeen killed and _amother wounded at Graham. N. C. to- night by fire from a machine gun com- pany of the North Carolina national guard on duty at the county jail there, where three megroes are held on charges of having attacked a whit woman. Reports received here from Graham said the shote were fired by the machine gun company when 2 cvrowd in the dark- ness approached the jail. Threats of lynching yestterday had caused Goverior Bickett to order the company to Gi ‘with instructions “to shoot straight if an w on the lives of the prisoners By such action of the superior court the ordinance has been rendered ineffective. As our agreement to postpone discontin- uation of service was conditioned upon the ordinance becoming immediately ef- fective the Connecticut company as free to_discontinue, but is unwilling to do so without notice. “As the deciison on the injunction is expected within a very short time the Connecticut company Wil continue jntil Monday, July 26. It cannot continue' fur- ther operations if conditions remain un- changed.” MIGHT CAUSE A GE WALKOUT OF Hartford, July 19.—A general walkout of trolleymen throughout the state is ex- pected té ensue if Bridgeport trolleys are taken out of service, the men here say, owing to the agreement with the com- pany that if a route is shortened the men affected will not lose any pay because of it. If routes are completely discontin- ued the same condition applies, they say, and unless the Bridgeport trolleymen re- ceive full pay during the time the cars are not in operation, none of the men in the state will work. No concerted action on the part of the trolleymen to boycott merchants who pa- tronize the jitneys has been planned in this city, according to well informed em- ployes of the Connecticut company. Some action of this sort has been taken in New Britain, it is alleged and the possi- bility of its spread to Hartford was con- sidered by outsiders, going so far as to the printing of the report that it had been inaugurated. This, however, the men deny. ERAL TROLLEYMEN BRITISH ARE TRYING TO STEM EXODUS OF TURKS Smyrna, Asia Minor, July 18 (By the A. P.).—The British commissions visiting the Smyrna district and other parts of Turkey occupied by the Greek army are trying to quiet the uneasy Moslem popu- lation and stem the exodus of Turks, ‘which is assuming alarming proportions. Eritish assurances that there will be no repetition of the massacres which oe- curred when the | eeks originally occu- pied Smyrna under the supreme council's order have not quieted Turkish unrest. There is a general exodus of Turkish fam- ilies eastward and southward inte- the Italian area and from Thrace into Bul- garia, while Constantinople is crewded with the better clo g of Turkish families. As the Turks are tne actual laborers and farmers in the occupied areas the exodus is viewed here with alarm. WATERBURY JITNEURS TALK OF FORMING CORPORATION ‘Waterbury, July 19.—The local jitrey- men’s. association held a meeting last- ing three hours today and discussed the transportation situation from all angles. The_ proposition was made tha: a large corporation, with $250,000 capital stack, be formed, to include all jitney owners in the city. -This corporation would take comple~ control of the business, includ- ing fixing of rates and assigning of jit- neys 4o routes. A committee of four members including Rebert Molzon, presi- dent of the association, was appeinted. to investihte the scheme and make report as to bath advisability and feasibility. WATERBURY MAN FINED $1,500 FOR PROFITEERING IN SUGAR i New York, July 19.—Morris Spirt of ‘Waterbury, Conn., today was fined $1,500 by Federal Judge William B. Sheppard raham | for profiteeri in sugar. Spirt pleaded guilty to an indictment charging . that he bought 50,000 pounds of r at $18.37 a hundredweight and sold it at $25.° IV Today Decision Reached by Lipton— y. Sandy Hook, N. J., July 19.—Captain William P. Burton will be at the helm of Shamrock IV when she races again to- morrow against the American defender Resolute for the America’s cup. This was the decision reached tonight by Sir Thomas and his yachting adwisers after a day spent in conference over the handling of the challenger in the first two matches. “Captain_Burton will be at the wheel tomorrow, I understand,” said Sir Thom- as after the conference. ‘“After that I cannot say, and, of course, T will not talk about it 3 Gossip aboard Sir Thomas’ steam yacht Victoria had it that Captain Burton had asked for ‘another chance, but the Irish baronet would not discuss this phase and Captain Burton could not be reached. ‘With seamanship counting so much in a contest such as the America’s cup race, in which the contending crafts are caicu- lated to. represent the best in American and British construction, the question of who would handle Shamrock transcended all other talk aboard the racing fleet at anchor today in the Horseshoe. From Thursday, when Shamrock found herself on the line at the start and had to recross, until the present, yachting ex- perts have been severely criticizing Cap- tain Burton's work, and during Saturday’s race comment aboard the Victoria was strongly in favor of Captain Charles Francis Adams, 2d, on the Yankee sloop. Resolute still has three victories to win if she is successfully to defend the cup, whereas Shamrock needs but iwo more. Regatta rules call on alternate racing days for a windward and leeward cou-se of fifteen miles to a leg and a triangulr course with legs/of ten miles each, but as Saturday’s race has to be resailed, to- morrow’s contest also will be over a tri angle. Saturday the first leg paralleled the Long Island. shore, with the second I stretching toward the Jersey coast, =nd the third back to the Ambrose channel lighiship, where the start was made. To- morrow, however, this course -ubtl will be changed, as the whoie auestion of where the yachts will race depends on the direction- of the wind. Usually the race committee makes every effort to have the first leg a beat to windward. JOACHIM SHOT HIMSELF THROUGH CHEST Berlin, July 19 (By the A. P.).—The mental condition of Prince oJachim, who committed syicide, had lately caused his family grave concern. His adjutant, the elderly Colonel Von Steuben, with whom he converse fiate Friday evening, without indicating « design to take his own life, was 50 dlarmed by the prince’s*depression the same evening that he told Prince Eitel of the younger brother’s condition. Joachim, according to the National Zeitung, after taking leave of his, three year old son, shot himself through the ehest wbout” Priday of the firing was not heard, and &ervants found him in the eatly hours of Saturday lying in front of his bed unconscious. He was removed to a hospital and regained consciousness and was able to talk to Eitel. But the doctors saw that there was no hope. He rapidly grew worse and died at 1 o'clock Sunday morning. The Zeitung Am Mittag says Prince Joachim left no letters. ] Some reports are to the effect that Joachim- suffered from the belief that he | would: be driven from his home by the republican government. The action for divorce brought byghis wife, who left him a year ago, also preyed on his mind. Prince Eitel ~Frederick, who is in charge of the body of his brother, was to have left today for Holand to visit his mother, the former Empress Augusta Vie- toria; Whose condition of health is report- ed to be worse. Eitel Frederick, however, postponed his departure. The body of Joachim lay in state today in the Friedenkirche, Potsdam, whera it wil be buried Tuesday in the strictest privacy. PRINCE SHAMROCK MUST GIVE 7M. 18. TIME ALLOWANCE Sandy Hook, N. J. July 19.—Shamrock IV, British challenger for the -America’s cup, will be required to give Resolute, American defender, a time allowance of seven minutes and one second in to- MOrTow's race, the regatta committee of the New York Yacht Club announced to- night. This increase of 21 seconds over the previous allowance followed the granting of the application of the Lipton craft for permission to use a larger club topsail. . The new time allowance was an- nounced after an official re-measurement had been made of Shamrock’s canvas. Moderate and postly northwest winds with fair weather, was the weather bu- reau’s forecast tonight for the race to- morrow. MAN SOUGHT THREE YEARS ARRAIGNED FOR MURDER Montreal, July 19.— Sought for more than three years by the authorities of Scranton, Pa., where he was indicted on 2 charge of murder, P. A. Zambresky today was arraigned before Judge Che- quette and admitted tnat he is the man for.whom the Scranton police have been searching. He was remanded to jail for three days to allow United States officers to arrive here.

In his second statement on the subject in twenty-four hours, the republican nom- inee_declared the republican conception of what should have been dome at Versailles had been vindicated by Colonel iouse, the friend and adviser of the president. He quoted the colonel as saying that ne- | gotiations of a peace treaty before crea-| by European powers and would have been | the “obvious” thing to do. The ardor with which the senator; pressed his attack was interpreted by his| associates here as meaning that he how | regards the Wilson foreign policy as hav- | .ing assumed a position of paramountcy in the campaign, and that he is deter- mined to take the aggressive and hold it as-the fight develops. There was no in-| dication that his pelicy of a front porch campaign would be modified, but his ad- visers declared the term would be from synonomous with quiescence. On the question of unqualified approval of the president’s conduct of foreign af- fairs, it was said, the nominee's fighting blood is up.

Governor Cox declined to respond. to the request of Senator Hayding, his fs- publican ovponent, for details of the gov- ernor’s conference Wwith President Wilson vesterday on the league of nations. The governor said he would answer anything j desirable in his acceptance address. Disincli#ation of Edmund H. Moore, national committeeman from Ohio, and Governor Ci flos manager at the San Francisco convention, to assume manage- ment of the campaign left unsettled to- night the election of a national commit- tee chairman.
