MORE PEACE REPORTS
ARE RECEIVED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2.—
.Additional peace reports through
Pope Benedict are still in circula
tion.
The Pope now has the German
maximum and minimum peace
terms says one dispatch, teaching
the United States Department to
day. It adds that he will strive i'or
peace on a new set of terms includ
ing the restoration o; Belgium, the
disestablishment of the German
base at Antwerp, but the retention
of Alsace by the Germans. The
establishment of Trieste as a free
port anti the settlement of future
international problems at a peace
table whereat all the powers will
meet on equal footing.
It is announced that our attitude
will remain as the original answer
forwarded to the Vatican and that
all other terms of settlement are
of secondary importance to the
suppression of the autocracy in
Germany.
From this it would appear that
there is absolutely no plane where
on the United States will be will
ing to meet any enemy offers ol
peace until the government of Ger
many fs radically altered so that
the present autocratic system will
give way to a constitutional mon
archy with the Reischtag a really
powerful body able to initiate and
enforce legislation quite regardless
of the imperial will or the mon
arch's decision in the matter. This
is considered vital.
Let »" estimate on /our ,1ob Wort
-:---m —
FEATTLE, Sept. 2.—Because Hie
Shipyardl Workers have voted to
strike on next Wednesday, it is
likely ihat the government will
lake a hand.
The owners have refused to con
cede the employees demands for
higher wages to mo t the Higher
costs of living and this is likely to
be maintained as the ship yards
management position even if the
strike is called. In th ■ event of the
government taking over control of
the yards it is practically certain
here and elsewhere the demands
of the men will he conceded.
The commandeering of the yards
; will be carried out as a wartime
; necessity and although to bo strong
ly opposed, considering that the
| government has practically com
1 mandeered all the boats now under
] construction, the step will not be
I such an unusual one.
The strike involves fifteen thou
sand men and there are many mer
chantmen now being constructed
both wooden and steel ships, and
many are now almost completed.
The fact that the government
has commandeered the ships under
construction has somewhat upset
the contract plans of the yards and
it is understood some of them will
not regret the government taking
charge during the war.
BERLIN, Sept. 2.—The only pa
pers throughout Germany which
do not join in the chorus of de
nunciation of Wilson for his refu
sal to accept the Pope’s peace pro
posals are the socialist organs
which decline to comment one way
or another. All the rest are hitter
in their attack upon the United
States President for his refusal to
undertake any negotiations with
the present government and the de
claration that definite changes must
take place in its organic system of
government before peace can be
brought about which will be per
manent.
Exceedingly great unbrage is

taken at the attempt upon the
pan of America to dictate the form
of government best suited to Ger
many and the Germans and the at
tack upon the alleged German au
tocracy is the cause of the severest'
editorial resentment.
The silence of the socialist pa
pers is in marked contrast with j
this. They do not comment upon ;

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 2.—The
journalistic outcry against Wilson
and tiie American refusal of tin
papal peace terms is great in Ber
lin. It is suspected that it si not
altogether unpleasant to the social
ists although mindful of the censor
they are suspiciously silent about
them all.
IN FIVE SINKING
LONDON, Sept. 2.—The British
Admiralty announces that tour
en. ray mine destroyers and one de
stroyer were met by the British
light naval forces off the coast of
Jutland this morning and all of the
enemy ships were sunk by gunfire
aft> r a short and sharp engage
rs at.
This is the second time within re
cert date that the naval forces ot
th British encountered mine sweep
or in the North Sea.
I
This activity it is thought indl-,
cates that an attempt will he made j
in the near future for the German:
fleet of capital ships to come out
again and risk battle as at the
Skagerrack.
LONDON, Sept. 2.—There is a |
certain feeling throughout especi-:
ally well informed quarters, ami
it has existed for some time, that
j the Germans contemplate anotln 1 j
I dash to sea upon the part of tli ir
| capital ships with the approach of
the foggy Autumii weather.
The activity of mine sweepers
is now notorious and today’s en
counter off Jutland shows that
these are still trying to make
things clear for the big ships.
It is believed that these sweep
ers and destroyers will be used as
a decoy for the cruiser fleet which
m: . again be demolished before
tiie capital ships eonio up to de
fend them against the great Ger
man ships.

OFFICIAL FIGURES SHOW
PER CENTAGE KILLED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2.— |
Secretary Baker is in receipt of
French figures officially revealing
the actual casualties in killed on
the western front.
The French figures are very care
fully prepared and are neither in
clined to exaggerate nor willing to
minimize actual losses. •
It is shown pretty conclusively
that the maximum rate of killed is
11 per thousand on a general aver
age throughout the fighting.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—There is

exceedingly murky weather along
tile Flanders front.
The heavy guns are still delug

PARIS, Sept. 2.—Recurrent Ger
man counters have been repulsed
on the Aisne. There is a continued
gunfire artivity on the Verdun
front. Bad weather continues in
the various sectors which will like

offensives while it lasts.
There is no tendency to lighten
the use of artillery on either
