A story at bow an tltanpUit Ger man peace uffanaie* directed toward President Wilaoa waa turn ad down* ignumimoudy by Prof. Heron. an American living In Geneva. la tnld by tka Swiss rorraapondant of the Ixm ion Daily Mail in hia dispatch, dated •t Annemasae, on the Franco-Hwiae Frontier. Prof. Heron la descried aa a friend of President Wilaon. The German government, according to the correspondent, tried to have, ;*ace measures sent to Praaident Wil son through Prof. Heron, who wan visited on April 19 by Prof. Quiddla of Munich, a friand of Count von | Hertling, the imperial German rhan-1 rellor. Prof Quiddla wai accompan ied by the Dutch pacifist, Dr. Jong Van Reek. Prof. Quiddla Mid ha had mma to; prepare the way for a merciful peace md gave Prof. Heron to understand i that he spoke for Chancellor von Mer iting and the German foreign office. He assured the American professor( that the peace party In the reirhstag waa about to gain predominance in Germany and that he wished to pre pare President Wilson to take advan tage of that auspicious moment. Ger many. Prof. Quiddle said, was willing to make the following terms: First, tojgrant autonomy to Alsace Lorraine within the limita of the Ger man empire, provided the allies would i not broach the subject of Alsace-I<or-' raine at the pearj conference. Second, the Brest-Id tovsk peace! treaty not to >»e iliscuu<ied at the peace treaty, although the lilies might sub mit claims for the revision of them and Germany might m.ike ccrtain con cession*. iniru no vvonomK war ukwrr« many after the war. Fourth, eGrman colonic* to he re stored. Prof. Qj-ilf'e a«seritd that the pr sent offensive ir. Flanders had the ulti mate objective of achieving a dur able peace. Prof. Heron, the Daily Mail'* cor-! respondent writes, after listening to I the German educator, exclaimed: "I wonder that you have .he ef-! frontery to a»k me to lav *.i' h :i rig marole of rnnt and deceit l>e(>re the American people. Far from rr-ating| spirit of conciliation it w»u:il "imply strengthen th<> American will to smash the perfidious and nefarious offer of such a proposal. "The United tSates intends to con-; tinue the fighting until the Prussian military power, and if necessary the Prussian state along with it, is extin guished forever as a power for evil whether it takes one year or ten. "If you call the remorseless sacri-'| flee -of two million men a pence of fensive and if you want the United States to recognize your shelling of Parisian congregation* and churches as a part of it, you are making a mon strous and foolish blunder. "When I listen to your false and treacherous overtures T feel ashamed of humanity." Prof Quidde. added the correspond ent. left the house weeping. The next week Prof. Heron was besieged by new offers by telephone, one of the speakers saying he was Dr. W. S. Salf, German colonial minister. Prof. Heron talked straight to all of them, telling them among other things "that the United States no longer wants peace. It wants to sweep out the Augaen "tables at Pottsdam." Prof. Heron, the dispatch adds, told the story to the correspondent and laughed triumphantly. He said he lielieved the Germans were at last' convinced that the United States in tends to stay in the war until iU righteous objects are achieved. Position of Germans Grows Less Tolerable. With the American Army in France May 13.— (By the Associated Press) —A bit; enemy ammunition dump at Cantifhy was fired upon liy the Amer ican artillery this morning. At the same time two fire« were started in Montididier, followed hy numerous ex-' plosions. The weather continued misty and rainy. There was no infantry action ] today and only intermittent machine (run and rifle fire. The position of the Germans is becoming more and more; intolerable, while the Americans are entrenching their positions more firm ly. Any hopes the enemy might have had of breaking through in this sector are diminishing. The Americans take nothing for granted but return the enemy fire two11 to one, which it believed to set a new pace in this sector. What appear* to trouble the Germans moat is that the Americans never turn back when the enemy uses gas. They give him a] the same, with every ' triei. >parger WRtOEYS f The universal military service gum—/ A Soldier's offering to his sweet heart Is naturally tbe sweetmeat tbat save him most refreshment and greatest enjoyment when on duty. The Flavor Lasts To Our Friends the_ Cross Tie Men We have cleaned up our yards and want all the ties we can g<*t. especially within the next thirty days, to be made according to the specifications below. No. 1 ties are still made as they used to be,7x8 sawed and 7x7 hewed, and No. 2s are now 7 inches thick in each case with one inch less face. Note particularly that the No. 2s have changed and will be same thickness as the No. Is. In regard to the Red Oak ties, we want just as many as we can get of this class timber during the next thirty days. Bear in mind that the Government now sets the spe cifications for all the roads, and does the buying for all of them and they positively will not take auy tie of either white oak or mixed oak that shows the least sign of dote or decay, and for this reason we are compelled to throw such timber out of the loads. In the past they would take a small dote in the end or a little hole that didn't go over six inches into the tie. Please bear in mind they have given us thirty days to clean up the Red Oak, but there maybe an extension of this time, but we cannot guarantee this, so rush your red oaks spanish oaks, hickory and ash ties in within the next thirty days. The White Oaks, of course are not limited as to time of delivery. The price of the white oaks and chestnut oaks will still be the same with us, although the Government has cut the price they pay for the timber and hardened on the inspection. For No. 1 white oaks, we will pay 60c each, No. 2 white oaks 50c each, and for the mixed oak ties we will pay 50c for the No. Is, and 40c each for the No. 2s. I didnot mention the length in the first specification because I wanted to call iyour particular attention to this feature, the Government Says a tie must be 8 feet and 6 inches long, not 7 inches nor 5 inches, but 8 feet and 6 inches long. So make your ties the right length, mark a pole like we have told to measure 8 feet 6 inches and let your ties be made right. Bring your ties to the old reliable stand where Frank McCrary will give you everything that is in your load and will not stick you for a single tie. But friends don't bring doty or rotten timber and remember Frank can tell a "Plugged" tie as far as he can see one. Your Friends, Shelton 6 Miller Join the Red Cross
