German Papers Print
Statement of Reinstein
Copenhagen, June 22. Most of the
newspapers of Germany today print
long special dispatches discussing the
arrival at Stockholm, Sweden, of the
three "American" socialist renresen
tatives, Boris Reinstein of Buffalo,
Dr. Max Goldfarb of the New York
Forward and D. Davidovitch.
The newspapers, however, care
fully refrain from reproducing the
information in the Stockholm jour
nals as to the non-American nation
amy of these men who have come to
participate in the International So
cialist Peace conference. i
The German newspapers reprint
prominently Reinstein's statement
that the declaration of war by Presi
dent Wilson was the "work of capi
- talisti in the interests of Wall itreet,
with which President Wilson is close
ly allied," and that it was "ordered
because Wall atreet believed Russia
might conclude a separate peace with
Germany, giving Germany the vic
tory, which had to be prevented at
any cost."
Older Issues of U. S.
Bonds Are Much Lower
New York, June 22. During the
first bond call on the stock exchange
today further sharp declines were re
corded in the bid prices of old United
States government issues. f
, The reis'ered and coupon 3s of
1946 were 85 bid, a drop of 2 points;
Panama 3s of 1961 were 82 bid, off 3
points, and the registered and coupon
4s of 1925 were 104 bid, a decline of
a point. These quotations represent
the lowest levels in years. No actual
transactions were made at the prices
given.
. The previous Issues of the United
States government have shown heavy
tendencies ever since the inception of
the Liberty loan. In banking circles
it is believed that the depreciation is
mainly due to sales of the old bonds
against purchases of the Liberty h-

NEW LINEUP FOR
FOOD BILL BATTLE
House Will Not Agree to Con
ference on First Measure
Until Senate Passes
the Second.
Washington, June 22. Administra
tion supporters of the food bills ar
ranged their battle lines today to
make sure that the senate does not
kill the second bill on the ground that
the first bill is enough.
Fearing that should the first, or
production bill, with its clause against
food hoarding be finally enacted while
the senate debates the second, or con
trol bill, it might be contended that
the provisions of the first btll are suf
ficent, the house leaders today de
cided to let the first bill remain in its
present stage and thus force the sen
ate to enact all the program before
any of it gets to the critical stage of
conference between the two houses.
Should house leaders be able to de
lay the appointment of conferees on
the first bill until after passage of the
second bill by both houses, they ex
pected to get most of the administra
tion's program on the statute books.
War Aims of Austria1
Are Officially Outlined
Copenhagen, June 22. Assumption
that the "survey of Austrian public
opinion on war aims,' circulated by
the Austrian correspondence bureau,
represented the Austro-Hungarian
government's program of peace terms
is confirmed by an article in the Lem
berg Gazeete, reproducing these con
ditions of the official government pro
gram. j The article, for which high author
ity is claimed, says that Serbia and
Montenegro must find their future
economic development in close eco
nomic association with Austria-Hungary.
In other words, it proposes a
customs union. It declares that Lov
cen mountain in Montenegro must
be retained as the key to the Gulf of
Cattaro and that "Albania must be
given autonomy under military and
economic suzerainty of Austria-Hungary.
Discussing Roumania, the statement
says that this question is for Austria
Hungary identical with the Danube
problem and arrangements must be
made for a free open Danube route,
not subject to the control of any for
eign power. Finally that Austria
Hungary must have a better military
frontier against Italy, more fully pro
tecting Trieste and the Tyrol.

erman Intrigue
Antidote
German intrigue in America as well as in Russia, in the form of veiled peace proposals,
which, to use the words of President Wilson, "aim to deceive all those throughout the world
who stand for Re rights of peoples and the self-government of nations," is the subject of the
leading article in this week's LITERARY DIGEST, dated June 23d.
The article, using the President's note to the Russian people and his Flag Day address as
a basis, makes' very clear just what America is fighting for and the peace that must come. It
throws the light of public opinion in this country, as shown by the newspaper press, upon the
President's words, and shows that they are not only a warning to the Russians to avoid the
fatal error of deserting the Allies, but, in the opinion of the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, they are
"also a warning to Pro-German neutrals and to Pro-Germans in this country." The article also
gives answer to those who favor the making of a separate peace by Russia.
Among other topics of almost equal interest and importance which are treated in this is
sue of the "Digest," are:
"We Have Tasted Liberty and It Has Made Us Drunk"
Remarked Russian Minister of War Kerensky, and, in the Opinion of the Foreign Correspondents in
Russia, He Spoke the Truth. This Article Shows the Russian Muddle in All Its Angles.

Did you ever stop to think of the path your news
travels to reach you, of how an event no sooner
happens than the story of it speeds away, by word
of mouth, by telegraph- or telephone, is flashed
through submarine cables or flies free in air on the
wings of the wireless to the office of some news
paper, where it is translated into cold type, rushed
through the presses, and hurried forth again by
motor car, by boat, by rail, on horseback, and, in
some remote districts, on camel-back, on sledges,
or by canoe, to reach your door? , r-
All this is wonderful enough, but when you reflect
that the published news of the whole world comes
to the editors of THE LITERARY DIGEST, and is'
put by them through an impartial sieve, which re
tains only the choicest part, uncolored and un
changed in the least degree, then your wonder
grows. For your use and the benefit the pith of
all the world's events is concentrated without bias
in the columns of THE DIGEST, week by week.
