TURNS DOWN PEACE i

FOR PRESIDENT WILSON
I'rof. Heron, Friend ol President,
Scores German
Overtures.
London.?A story of how an attempted
peace offensive directed toward
President Wilson was turned
down igncminiously by Prof.
Heron, an American living in Geneva,
is told by the Swiss correspondent
of The Daily Mail in his dispatch
dated a> Anneir.ns. e. on the FrancoSwiss
frontier. Praf. Her m in dose!'bed
as a friend of President
Wiinon.
The German government, according
to the cor. spondent, tried to get
pare offers sent to the President
through Prof. Ilcron, who was visited
on April 19 by Prof. Quidde, of M>?nwhi.
:i fi'ipnfl of Hnnr.t von
the imperial German chancellor.
Tier. Quickie war- accompanied by the
Dutch pacified, Dr. Jong* Van Beek.
Prof. Quickie raid lie had come to
prepare the way fov a merciful peace
and gave Prof. Heron to understand
that he spoke for Chancellor von Her
tling and the German foreign office.
He assured the American professor
that the peace party in the Reichstag
was about to gain predominance in
Germany and that he wished to prepare
President Wilson to take advantage
of that auspicious moment.
The Terms.
Germany, Prof. Quiddc said, was
willing to make the following terms:
' First To.grant autonomy to AD
sase-Ldrraine within the limits of the
German empire, provided the Allies
would hot broach the subject of Alsace
Lorraine at the peace conference.
Second The Brest-Litovsk peace
treaties not to be discussed at the
peace conference, although the Allies
might submit claims for the revision
of them and Germany might make
certain concessions. .
Third?No economic.war.? against
Germany after the war.
Fourth?German colonies to be restored.
Prof. Quidde asserted that the pros
ent offensive in France had the ultimate
objective 01 achieving a dur
able peace.
Heron's Reply.
Prof. Heron, the Daily Mail's correspondent
writes, after listening to
the German educator, exclaimed:
"I wonder that you have the effrontery
to ask me to lay such a rigamarole
of a cant deceit before the
American people. Far from cheating
Si spirit of conciliation, it would simply
strengthen the American will to
smash the perfidious and nefarious
offer of such proposals.
"The United States intends to continue
the fighting until the Prussian
military power, and, if necessary, the
Prussian state along with it, is extinguished
forevei, as a power for
evil, whether it takes one year or
ten.
"If you call the remorseless sacrifice
of two million men a peace offensive,
and if you want the United
pistes to recognize your shelling of
Parisian congregations and churches
5i> a part of it, you are making a
monstrous and foolish blunder.
"When I listen to your false and
treacherous overtures, I feel ashamed
of humanity."
Prof. Quidde, adds the correspondent,
left the house weeping. The next
week Prof. Heron was beseiged by
ru \v officers by telephone, one of the
speakers saying he was Dr. W. S.
i>e'f, German colonial minister. Prof.
Heron talked straight to all of them,
UUing them, among other things tbat
''the United States no longer mants
j-eace. It wants to sweep out the
Aegean stables at Potsdam."
Prof, Heron, the dispatch adds, told
toe <story to the correspondent an<l
. laughed triumphantly. He said he
believed the Germans were at last
convmced that the United States intends
to stay in the war until its
righteous objects are achieved.
The Prof. Quidde referred to above

historian of the University of Munich

IS WHEAT FORECAST
Washington.?Continued good reports
throughout Apiil have given indications
that today's winter wheat
forecast based on conditions prevailing
May 1, would show a large increase
over the 500,000,000 bushels
estimated in April. Private estimates
within the last week have placed
the prospective crop at from 600,000,000
to 650,000,000 bushels.
While the acreage of winter wheat
was the largest over planted, being
402.170,000 acres, it was below what
the government had expected in its
campaign to produce a billion bushels
of wheat this year to help feed the
Allies. Adverse conditions and a
shortage of farm help wore ascribed
as the cause of the failure to plant
*he acreage planned by the government.

Germany for the increase in armaments

would have been no increase by
France, but for the action of Germany.

At the same time, the unofficial a 1\

The expulsion of both men, it
said, was ordered under the Mexi.an
constitution, which provides for the
summary deportation of ''pernicious
foreigners," without trial dr hearing.
Some of the experiences of Americans
expelled from Mexico under that
section have been described as little
short of harrowing.
Murray was the correspondent cJ.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury?
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug,
gish liver. When calomel comes into^v
contact with sour bile it crashes into'
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated
and all knocked out, just
to your druggist and get n bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few'cents
which is a harmless vegetable substi-t *
lute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just
gc back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll bo
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be- \
sides, it may salivate you, whilftjgf
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work and
