THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1918. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-TVEEXLT JOURNAL. PAGE FIVE. r Murray Department Prepared in the Interest cf the I'eople The war is costing the United States ? 1,000,000 an hour. To offset this steady and tremendous drain upon the nation's cash resource-, there must be a corresponding" stream of dollars Cowing into the national treasury. Thrift stamps and war savings stamps offer the people an op portunity to deposit their dailj weekly or monthly savings with the government. In. return the government will repay the principal with 4 per cent interest, compounded quarterly. As an example of how the investor's money will prow, sixteen war savings stamps, costing 23 cents each, or ?4.00 in all, with 12 cents added, will entitle the depositor to ?..00 en January 1, 1923. As an investment, safety considered, thereis nothing better cn the market today. All the resources of the richest government on earth are behind the stamps. Murray State MURRAY, Mrs. Chas.

' 1 ' " PAN-GERMANS ARE BELIEVED GAINING LE MIMY W "BLOOD OUTO ffiOK" x juuni &au juisux iu dxi PUSHED TO LAST. ALL GIVE IN TO THEM NOW VorwacrtB Thinks Military Dictator ship Coming; Supreme Trust in Force. Control of the destinies of the Ger man empire, press accounts from neutral countries agree, is passing into the hands of the militarists or the leaders who want to hold what has been gained by might and the sword. Chancellor von Hertling, the aged incumbent of the chief political office, again is reported iH and is preparing to resign, while the mil itarists and pan-Germans are de manding the dismissal of Dr. ron Kuehlman, the foreign secretan-, who has headed the Grrman delega tions at Brest-Litovsk. In connection with the reported illness of the imperial chancellor, it is reported from Berlin that Count von Hertling's address before the main committee of the reichstag has been postponed for several days. It was said previously that the chancel lor would answer the recent war aims statements of President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George before the main committe on Wednesday. Coupled with these reports is the fact that the German emperor and the crown prince have been holding conferences with the political and military leaders. It is reported also I that the German ministers to Den- mark and Holland have arrived un expectedly in Berlin. Indications are that the present turmoil within the German ruling class will result in the acceptance of a firm policy, either favoring the militarists or the more peaceful elements, with the probability that the pan-Germans will be victorious. The socialist Vor waerts believes a military dictator ship is in the making. No explanation has been vouch safed by either the Germans or the Russians as to the reasons behind the temporary halt in the peace ne- gotiations. Nor has it been announc- et officially why the conferences, if continued, are to be resumed at War- saw. A Bavarian newspaper says, "Egyptian darkness enshrouds" Ger many's peace terms. Amsterdam (Monday), Jan. 14. The Wolff bureau, the semi-official news agency of Berlin, publishes a Brest-Litovsk dispatch regarding the three long sittings on Friday and Saturday. The Wolff bureau report covers nearly 5,000 words and shows that the discussion concerning the date of the evacuation of territory was broken off by the parties failing to agree. A long discussion, concern ing which parts of the occupied ter ritory should be evacuated, also re sulted in a disagreement. A prolonged debate arose over the question of admitting representa tives of Poland, Courland and Lithu ania to the negotiations, and on the question of what constituted self-de-I termination by these provinces. The V diKM'SsirTl hpOJlTnp mhitt prpfl unri General Hoffmann of the German delegation, against the tone of the Russian delegation, which he said "speaks as if it stood victorious in our countries and could dictate con ditions." , General Hoffmann reminded the delegates that the bolsheviki author ity, as much as the German, was founded on force, as instanced b; what he termed the attempts to sup press the white Russia and the Uk rainian attempts at self-determina- ion. General Hoffmann finally de clared that the German suprtme army command must refuse to evac uate CourlancL Lithuania, Riga and the islands in the Gulf of Riga. Dr. von Kuehlmann, the German foreign minister, then declare.l that he must reserve a further statement of the position of the central powers on all points. He protested against ostion tlie Asians h-l adopt- ed o( Presenting their views in writ-j . ten declarations and said t.at the I tation oetween. me ieuior.-.c auw.s.

REGIME HEARING !TS EHO GERMAN CRISIS MAY PXEULT IS pri:7T0?,rr as CHANCELLOR. The Hague, Jan. ID. The politi cal crisis in Germany apparently is rapidly coming to a head. The Berliner Tageblatt says Chan cellor von Hertling is ill. and pre dicts important changes in the near future. As in the last chancellorship crisis, Yon Hertling's health would readily serve as a pretext for resig nation. It had been stated that Yon Hert ling would appear before the reich stag this week to answer Premier Lloyd-George and President Wilson. According to the Deutsche Zeitung, Foreign Minister von Koehlmann re turned Monday from Brest Litcvsk. and Count von Bernstorff also has arrived in Berlin. ur Overalls and Jackets ARE OF SUPERIOR BRANDS!
