5E>Y PEACE OFFER IS EXPECTED FROM TEUTON EMPIRES Clerman Periodical Claims Central Powers Will Submit New Proposition on Settlement Amsterdam, Oct. 9.?A new peace offer is forthcoming from the Teutonic empires according to a prediction in' I the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, assert-' ed to he based upon, an authoritative source. The paper adds the offer will yrojx>so. 1. Xo territorial aggrandizements.' 2. Surrender by Germany of Bel-' gium and Northern France. 3. "Positive territorial acquis:-( fn hp housht and raid for in cash. i I 4. Xo indemnities oy anyone. An element of suspicion attaches to the report because of the identity of its disseminator. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung is the pan-German organ in which Count Ernest Zu Rev?ntlow vents his views. For months this junkrish firebrand has shouted at the top of his editorial lungs that <Jermany was being "betrayed" (by the pacifists, among whom he includes the prime movers behind the reichsta<g's-_n^ijority bloc. iA. "German peace" has been his hobby throughout the war. It has considered likely therefore that the Tages Zeitung printed the report to elicit a flat denial from the government or otherwise force a show-down. " - ? ? ? ? Merniwiai jicquisiuvus* But even if it is true, Entente diplomats here pointed out tonight the alleged offer will contain no concessions whatever and therefore form no "basis for an understanding; A clever piece cf word juggling is seen in the alleged terms of the offer. Particularly the phrase "positive territorial acquisitions" diplomats here profess to recognize pan-German terms in the garb of conciliatory bergaining. By affiixing the word "positive"* the road is left clear toward the claiming of such territories, for instance, as Courland, with Riga, which Germans may claim are not "positive acquisitions," but merely "re''Conquests," their assertion being that this land properly belongs to the-empire. Moreover the phrase could be made to work both ways. Applied to Ra *nan'a. for instance, it would -mean *tbe imposition of a huge sum in payment for evacuation.

Hoover. Meat packers, cold storage warehouses, millers, canners, elevators, grain dealers, wholesale distributors and retailers aonig a ujsmess w i more than $100,000 annually, will ailj 'be required to take out the licenes, which must be applied for before Xo-, vmber 1. About twenty basic commodities and their products have been selected ( by the food administration as forming the prime basis of life, and the licens- ^ ing control will ibe limited to these : commodities. The administration has also, so far as possible, eliminated i i the smallest units of business in these * ~ staples. THe commodities nave uvi yet been stated. Under the licensing ' svstem the government hav complete I control over the industries indicated i and can penalize or can revoke the ' licenses for violation of the law. To Keep Snpplies Moying. iA. formal statement issued today l>y .'the food administration declares: I ??Tf ; r. fV<?. nnrrvrvco of thp fOOr? arf IJL L xO LUC pui |/vgv v/i ? ? ministration to effect conservation in j the commercial use of these commodities, and to keep them flowing toward the consumer in direct lines through | the channels of trade in as economical a manner as possible. The administration does not wish to disturb the iiUX'UiclZ duu uc^casaiji avunvico w? business, and no business factor who lis performing a useful function will be expected to surrender that function." | The administration is, however, charged with several duties. "The producer must have a free outlet and a reaay market. | "There must be no manipulation of. speculation in foods. "There mast be no hoarding In: foods. "Unfair or unreasonable profits must be eliminated. "Discriminatory and deceptive and wasteful practices which in any way restrict snpply or distribution must be stopped. | . "These are the provisions of the food lawy The licensing system which was authorized by the law provides a more effective machinery for its en' forcement. It must not be thought that those operations become illegal only upon the issue of licenses. They ha\e been illegal since the 10th of August, when the lavr was passed, j and numerous cases coming to the at| tention. of the food administration have 1 been corrected. The licensing has the effect of giving definition to the I n ft ? An n aP f V* V<1 1 n t- V* r-\ mma aa.. pivviaiuua kjl tiic uni auu tuc piauuuca which the trades should respectively follow in connection therewith." Regulation Starts November 1. After November 1, no unlicensed! person will be permitted to trade in i i the commodities enumerated in the' forth-coming proclamation. Those! who receive licenses must from tiruej to time report to the food administra-j tion, but their reports will be safenri i o ??/^ a ri + V* n f a! %? a/s vm rv m o. ?v- rt I gucnucu su umi tiicii cuiu?>ciilu.i s may not benefit. 1 "The food administration states i that while it has powers to revoke licenses and impose penalties, yet, its purpose is *"to accomplish these ends of public service and war service, so far as possible, not by-coercion, but by patriotic cooperation" About two hundred conferences held with representatives of various trade? ' have shown, says the food administration, that the licensing system will ' really be a protection to the great | majority of producers and distributers as well as to the public against the comparatively few speculators and price-raisers. Part of the state| ment reads: "Jt has been generally recognized throughout the country that the enormous obligation imposed upon the American people to feed our sol diers at the front and the allies ere ates a disturbing factor in trade which allows opportunity to a few impose burdens upon the many. It is of vital national importance that such control should ibe exerted as will remedy, so far as may be, the economic disturbances incident to the war The prime purpose of the food administration is to protect the patriot against \ the slacker in business."
