Inferences that Germany may have made a new peace offer to the allies, proposing terms at the expense of Russia, coin cide with an -undercurrent of discus sion which been running in diplomatic circles here for some time, 'but which never bad shown evidence of tangible development - Tbe announcement by Lord Robert Cecil in London yesterday that no such proposal would be considered, coupled with Marshal von Htnderburg's an nouncement that the German offensive would go on In view of the entente's unresponsive attitude toward (iernian peace intentions, served to strengthen the view of neutral diplomats who for some time have believed that under ground feelers have been going out for some time. Americana, officials and allied diplo mats, while, agreeing entirely with Lord Cecil's statement that no such terms can be considered, give no evi dence of how much may be known here as to what Hlnderburg refers to as to German peace intentions.

The preseut food administration rule that an equal amouut of subxtltutc- snail be sold with each sale of whest flour ' has. resulted in an actual In crease of .wheat consumption in some southern states. The use there of large quantities of hominy, corn meal, rice and other nu tritive grains ordinarily haii been more than 50 per cent of the cereal con sumption. Requests by tbe Texas Food Admin istrator 'to limit the consumption of wheat there was granted readily by the food Administration.. which admittedly is Tact lug a serious situation in supply ing the allies and this country with grain. .

Melt, (Vouch, tnte Epidemiologist, "the fact remains that no reports were made to the coun ty quarantine officer, when cases first began toroccur. so no steps could be taken by the heslth authorities to check or control the epidemic. The fact that Harkers Island is isolated from the main land and has no physi cian,, of course, mitigates the responsi bility of the people very greauy, out quite similar occurrences are frequent ly found where parents, or oven pny siclans, fall to promptly report a case of some contagious disease, such as measles or whooping cough and, as a result otherg frequently contract the disease, from the unprotected case." , W.S.S. ...
