CENTRAL POWERS
PUSH POPE'S NEW
: PEACE PROPOSAL
i ; ..
Stiff's: Offer to Be Made
hitsunday, May 19; to
Give Definite Terms for
'War's End.
the Hague, May 1. (British Ad
miralty, Per Wireless Press.) Pope
Behedict intends to issue a new peace
offer on Whitsunday (May, 19), Co
logne newspapers announce. The docu
mit, it is said, will be of a more
pressing nature than formerly and
S will contain concrete offers of media
tion by the pope with the possible co
operation of neutral sovereigns.
Similar information of , the pope's
intention, it is said, has reached Ber
lin where it has been received sym
pathetically.
Peace Move Forecast. ,
This is not the first report
Mimnating from Germany recently
iht the pope is about to make an-
; other jeace move. The Neueste Nach
ricjiten of Munich, Bavaria, accord
ing to t London dispatch of April
23 said that the pope would make a
- peace offer as soon as the western
offensive had assumed a new phase.
A dispatch from Stockholm Tue6
daf reported that a message from
Baiel announced ' that Emperor
Charles of Austria was making a new
i peace 6ffer, appealing to Italy to con
sider it in its own interests.
' Hn Seek Intervention.
Washington, May 1. Wireless dis
patches dated The Hague and quoting
Cologne newspapers as saying Pope
Benedict intends to issue a new peace
offer May 19, were accepted in of
ficial circles here today as another bit
of .German propaganda. Heretofore
the State department has been able
t j -gather an intimation of the pur
pose of the pontiff to initiate peace
proposals, but no suggestion of such
an b intention has come from any
source recently.
The statement in the dispatch that
the news of the pope' purpose Jiad
reached Berlin, "where it has been
received sympathetically," was taken
here to indicate that German influence
is feeing brought to bear on the pon
tiff.' to intervene. Assuming such to
be jthe case, officials feel that there
might be some grounds for believing
thai the Germans now recognize that
their efforts to attain a military de
cision in the west this eu'mmer are
dooomed to failure.
GERMANS BUSH UP
GIANT GUNS FOR
FRESH 'ATTACKS
iritish Army in Flanders, May 1.
Geleral von Arnim made no further
mole along the Flanders battle front
tasl night, nor had an attack been ex-
neiied. The heavy defeat which the
' G-raan j suffered Monday forced
them to , pause and bring up fresh
tropps before continuing their drive
fori the hill positions in the Kemmel
' .. region.
'& few more hours, however, will
suflce for their reorganization and
, andPther assault may be expected im
mediately. The seriousness of the German in
tensions here has been evinced in nu-
metous ways. On Monday, for ex
ample, they pushed at least one field
gui forward to within 700 yards of
the' battle line and other guns were
brojught close up.

Future of Alsace-Lorraine
Being Discussed in Germany
: Amsterdam, May 1. The signifi
cant admission that the imperial Ger.
man government had been discussing
the futirre of Alsace-Lorraine was
made recently in the second chamber
of the Saxon parliament by Herr von
Leipszig, in reply to a suggestion by
Herr Guenther, a liberal minister,
says a Dresden despatch.
Guenther urged that Alsace be in
corporated with Bavaria and that Lor
raine be divided between Prussia and
Baden, all contingent upon the assent
of the country and parliament.
llerr von Leipzig said: lhe man
ner m winch Alsace and Lorraine
hitherto had been attached to. Ger
many has not stood the test and it is
impossible to attempt to continue
to build on this basis. The Saxon
government also is convinced of this
but it has not yet decided how the
question as a whole can be solved."
ihis answer did not satisfy the
house.

Country Love Dream
Omaha federal authorities have
shattered the ' love dream of 17-year-old
Marie Griesser, who lives
in the western part of the state, and
Andrew Tree, county fair "hot dog"
vender, who gives St. Joe, Mo, aa
hi headquarters.'
Marie is held in Omaha under
$500 bonds, which she was unable
to furnish, as a material witness
against Tree, who will be brought
to Omaha from St. Joe to face
charges of violation of the Mann
act.
The girl traveled with Tree and
planned to sell lemonade at the
fairs where he sold hamburger
sandwiches, it is alleged. When he
went broke they both walked the It
miles from Hiawatha to Falls City.
It was here that the girl was ar
rested. She was brought to Omaha
by United States Marshal Flynn.
She said that Tree told her he
was 32 years old, but she said that
she believes he is about 42.

Both ships were carrying running
lights because of the heavy fog which
hung over the sea.
F. J. Doherty, the wireless operator
was able to send out only one "S. O.
S." call after the warship's bow

to the appeal for aid and the vessel
sank so quickly Doherty had no op
portunity to repeat the call. He is
believed to have been drowned at his
post.
Many heroic deeds were recounted
tonight by the survivors. One of the
heroes of the sea tragedy was Harry
A. Kelley of New York, an oiler who
swam to an overturned life boat and
dragged up on the bottom of it four
persons who were struggling in the
sea. He held them there until they
were taken off by a boat from the
French cruiser.

RUSSIA PBOTESTS
ROMANIA'S UNION
WITH BESSARABIA
Moscow, Thursday, April 18. A
strong protest has been made by M.
Tchitcherin, Russian foreign minis
ter, to the Roumanian premier, con
cerning the announcement that rep
resentatives of Bessarabia had pro-
J '.t. r .. . .
tidimca me union oi xneir country
with Roumania and that Roumania
hereafter would regard Bessarabia as
an integral part of Roumania.
This, says Minister Tchitcherin. is
not only in defiance of the Russian
soviet republic, but is a flagrant vio
lation of an agreement previously
concluded with Kussia to the evacua
tion of Bessarabia. It is also a viola
tion of the aspirations of the local
population and expresses only the will
of the large land owners of Bessara
bia, 'who are sworn enemies of the
people and adepts in exploiting them
under the protection of Roumanian
bayonets."
The fusion of the two countries, he
declares, will not destroy -the f eternal
solidarity which unites the working
masses of Bessarabia and Russia.

PRIVATE HOSS AT
FORT CROOK KILLS
SELF WITH RIFLE
Tells Miss Mangen, With
Whom He Kept Company,
That He "Is Going to
End It All."
After telling Anna Mangan, a South
Side High school girl, that he was
"going to end it all," Vincent Hoss, 27
years old, a private in Company M.
Forty-first infantry, Tuesday night re
turned to camp, at Fort Crodk and
shot himself to death with an army
rifle. He placed the muzzle of the
rifle in his mouth, and, reaching down,
pulled the trigger.
Miss Mangan, with whom Hoss had
been keeping company since last fall,
says that he frequently was depressed
and that the occasions were more fre
quent following a visit to his mother,
who had been sick in her home in
Cincinnati since last December. Of
ficers at the fort say they can give no
reason for the act of Moss, as he was
in good health and was in no apparent
trouble.
Miss Mangan says that officers at
Fort Crook knew of Hoss' frequent
threats to ta!:e his life and that he was
given no solitary details, such as night
guard duty.
The girl and the soldier met last, fall
at a social gathering at Fort Crook,
where she visited a daughter of one
of the officers. She is 19 years old
and lives with her parents in the town
of Fort Crook. Since last fall she says
he has paid her some attention, but
no more than other soldiers with
whom she has become acquainted.
HAY GROWERS OF
NEBRASKA TIGHT
PROPOSED RATE
Many Nebraskans are going to
Kansas City for a hearing on hay
rates there Thursday. Railroads pro
pose, to take hay out of the com
modity rate class and to put it in
Class C, which will double the rate
if the request is granted and strike
a hard blow to the hay industry of
Nebraska.
The Chamber of Commerce will be
represented at the hearing by C. E.
Childs of the transportation bureau.
W. E. Hopkins of the Omaha Hay
company and E. P. Palmer will also
attend. Several big hay growers from
out in the state have wired they will
leave at once for the hearing.
The Chamber of Commerce and
the hay growers contend that if this
increase i:. rates is granted it will
make hay a strictly local commodity,
as the higher rates will be practically
prohibitive for shipping purposes.
They say that with double the rate
it will not be possible to ship hay
ftr any distance, as the rate would be
much higher than the price of the
hay, which is prohibitive.

JAPAN TO REMAIN
LOYAUO ALLIES
Change in Foreign Ministry
Implies No Alteration of
Policy in War, Declares
Baron Goto.
Tokio, May 1. The change in the
foreign ministry implies no alteration
of Japan's policy in the war, said
Baron Goto today. The baron has
actively taktn over the work of the
foreign offi:?.
"I recognize the importance," said
the baron, 'especially at this time,
of guarding against insidious propa
gandists who are particularly busy
when there is opportunity to plant
seeds of sutpicion and distrust. I
therefore wekome this opportunity to
declare through the Associated Press
that there is no foundation or truth
in the suggestion of a change of pol
icy or of lei-ening of loyalty to all
engagements on the part of this gov
ernment because of a change in per
sonnel which is due solely to the
regrettable illness of the, former
minister of foreign affairs.
"We seek the friendship, co-opera-tion
and assistance of China. We ask
China to disentangle herself from the
old prejudices and maze of intrigue
planted and fostered by the enemy.
Just now complete unity is essential
to victory. The Lansing-Ishii notes
(in which the special interests of
Japan in C'.iina were recognized by
the United Mates) have even been
used by the tnemy to create ill-will in
China, but v:e feel that the Chinese
government .:ow understand the en
tire friendliness of Japan. We seek
the full co-operation of China, for the
sake of mutual advantage.
"Japan must give encouragement,
assistance and support to the work
of reorganisation in Russia. We
trust the sound sense of the Russian
people will t.ot be misled by reports
calculated to keep the two neighbors
apart."
Now They Can Jump Off.
Berlin, May 1. At the direction of
Emperor William, says an official an

Men or Mummies to Have
Safety of Big Subway?
London, May 1. The treasures of
the British museum, including its
priceless collection of mummies,
have been stored for the period of
the war in a deep uncompleted sub
way which was being constructed
for the use of the postoffice authori
ties when the war began. The em
ployes o! the postoffice along the
line of the subway have just raised
a protest against the use of the bor
ing for this purpose, asserting that
it should be reserved for use as an
air raid shelter for postal employes.
"Should postal workers or mum
mies use the subway air raid shel
ter?" asks the Postman's Gazette, in
its latest issue. "It is nothing short
of a scandal that relics of doubtful
value should get choice positions,
in this subway, while access is de
nied to members of the postoffice
staff in time of emergency.
"We find a government depart
ment doing all in its power to pro
vide for the safety of the shriveled

cern for all that is left of the Phar
aohs and Cleopatra. They had their
