The news- papers arc unanimous that it is an admission that the situation is getting critical in Germany and that the chancellor wants a way out before it is too late. His move is considered to have the additional advantage that able him to throw the blame for the continuation of the war on the allies, which he hopes will have a monal effect on Germany and the neutral nations.

Chancellor _von “Hothweg stimmoned the Reichstag, not to hear his speech, but to be confronted with an act. We do not know if at Berlin there are people so naive as to imagine that the allics arc likely to Swallow this clumsy bait, even on the morrow of the events'in Roumania, In any case Field Marshal von Hindenburg's statement shows that the military cherish no such illusion. “What is still more cer.ain is that the treacherous German move aims at something clse than gemuine peace. It ceeks an internal and external ef- fect. In Germany it is intended to convince the people that the govern- ment is not responsible for the sacri- fices imposed and that its adversaries alone are responsible for the contin- uation of the struggle. Abroad it desires to persuade neutrals that the allies are pufsuing a policy of ambi- tion. That is the explanation of the pretended moderation in the tone of the speech. “The speech merely emphasized es- sential weakness which temporary successes cannot hide,” the Petit Journal continues. | Groneweg of Council-Bluffs One Man Missing. It was learncd that six strange negroes had gone to work in the Cudahy packing plant Monday morn- ing and that onc of them resembled the man wanted. Tuesday morning only five reported for work. Accompanied by the officers Ira Kennedy went, through the Cudahy of the five colored men to be the as- sailant of his parents and his wife. Tt was found that the negro who had not returned to work had given an ad- dress, a boarding house at Twenty- eighth and R streets, South Side. A visit there disclosed the watch and the persons in charge told the of- ficers that it had been left to secure a board bill. The negro was absent, but retarned Tuesday night and was nabbed by the waiting officers. Picks Out the Man. Yesterday in the Omaha jail, Mrs. Ira Kennedy recognized White as her assailant when his back was toward her and instantly declared, “that’s the man’ when he faced her. She was not able fully to identify the watch for_the reason that she lad ntt seen it 6iten, but her husband described it accurately before it was shown to him, - specifying the gold-washed hands, the missing second hand and the engraving on the back. Children Recognize Him. To make the identification still more certain the two younger Ken- nedy children were taken to Omaha and both picked hom out from among other colored men. Confronted by the testimony White made a confession to Deputy Sheriffs Gillaspy and Leuch of Council Bluffs Captain Briggs of Omaha. It will probably not be publicly anay nounced when the negro will be taken back to the Bluffs. Sheriff Groneweg last evening cor- rected the story that South Side offi- cers were inclined to insist upon a liberal reward. No mention of a re- ward for the arrest of the man was made, but the South Side officers were assured that any expense incurred would be taken care of. County At- torney Swanson wited Governor Clarke Monday, asking the state de- “ft is becausc Germany knows it cannot win that it desires to end the| war. Its plan, however, is doomed. | It will fail before the immovable res- | olutipn of the allies.” i Mere Talk, Says Matin. | The Matin characterizes the peace proposals “as mere talk,” saying: “They contain no territorial, po- litical or other conditions which could serve as a basis of discussion. Ger- many simply says for the hundredth time that it never desired war and wishes only to protect its rights and that if its enemies will not listen it | will throw the blame of further hloqd‘s!l'led on them. The device iy too obVious. It could not deceive any but the most ignorant. “Another motive is the nccessity of making Germany accept the suffer- ing¥ and sacrifices of another winter clined to do so while the victims of the negro's’assault were still alive. Kennedy in Critical Condition. Surgeons at Mercy hospital, where the two aged persons are lying with crushed heads, stated last evening that Kennedy's recovery was not anly improbable, but would be noth- ing short of miraculous. He was unable to recognize his son last eve- ning and has no recollection of any- thing past. g Dr. R. B. Tubbs, the attending sur- geon, is devoting all the time pos- sible to the professional care of the Kenedys. Mr. Kenedy's extraordin- ary vitali is plainly waning, but his aged v continues to show per- ceptible -improvement, although there is a hole in her temple as big as a doorknob, which her assailant in- flicted with the ten-pound car pin. A second negro was implicated in campaign. ‘1f only the civilian popu- lation had to endure this not much harm would be done, byt the army is beginning to feel the strain.

Their attitude was that if the central powers exposed all their cards before peace negotiations be- gan they would be placed at a dis- advantage.

Document of Love and Peace. Commenting on_the peace proposal Germania, the Catholic organ, ex- presses especial pleasure that the-cen- { tral powers appeal to the pope as well as to other neutrals.

The newsSpapér declares that the emperor’s note to Germany's oppo- nents is a document of the love. of peace. than which none could be greater, fairer, or go to further engths, and which prove that Ger- many, despite its enormous military successes, does not wish to strike in cold blood to destroy its enemics, but in consonance with its responsibility to God and, the world, offers them the hand of peace. Only a fool, it de- clares, will see in the offer an indica- tion of weakness. Offer Indication of Strength. The evening edition of the Lokal Anzeiger refrains from predicting cither success or failure for Ger- many’s peace overtures. The editor- ial lays stress on the declaration that the offer is an indication of strength and not of weakness. It calls the day epoch-making in importance, but doubts whether this Christmas, atany rate, can bring to realization the Bi- blical “peace on earth, good will to men.” { The newspaper both opens and | closes its editorial with the imperial chancellor's words: “We are pre- pared for peace, but are ready to ‘hghg.” | Victor Hahn, in the National Zeitung, likewise lays emphasis upon a | characterization of the peace over- | tures as a sign of strength rather than | of weakness, and expresses belief that | the responsible statesmen of the en- | otherwisc.

If the press which supports the ad- ministration interprets official infor- mation little time will be taken up by consideration of the move of Ger- many and its allies, although the mod- erate opinion of the country does not favor too hasty rejection of the over- tures.
