ITALIAN HEAVY ARTILLERY GERMANY WANTS ALLIES TO PROPOSE Kaiser Thinks Proffers of Fence Should Coane From the Other Powers (Dy Associated Press.) Washington. Sept. 17.-Germany ! has suggested informally that tho knited htates should undertake to elicit from Graat Britain. Prance and Kusbia a statement of terms under which the allies would inaUc peace. The suggestion was made by the m perla! chancellor, von Bethniaun-j Hollweg. to Ambassador Gerard at I norlin as a result of an inquiry bvnt by the American government to leura whether Emperor William deo!.-..! to liscana peace, as Count von Eernst irf! '.he German ambassador and Oscar CMrausn recently bsd reported. Emperor William himself made no reply nor did the imperial chancellor :ndicate whether he spoke on behalf )f his monarch. Ambassador Gerurd j ahled President Wilson the chancel lor's remarks from recollection, which substantially "Were as follow?: "Germany appreciates the Amorl, can government's Interests and offer 3f services in frying to make peace. Genna ny had war forced on her, Even f she defeats Prance, she must van. lulah Great Britain and Russia abo, 13 all three have agreed not to make peace except by common conse.it. England hus announced that^she in tends to fight to the limit of ner en luranoe. In view of that determina tion tho I'nitcd States ought to ge! peace proposals from th? sH'er ".rr a KM, y would accept only a lasting peace, isiio IV at would make her peo ple secure agatust future attacks. To accept mediation now would be In terpreted hy Hie allies as a s|gn of weakness and also would be misun derstood by the German people, who, having made great sacrifices, had the right to demand guarantees of secur ity." Ambassador Gerard added to this orly the brief comment..that Jr?, him self, thought tho way mi ?ht possibly be open to mediation. President Wil son, however, did not regard?the mes ingo as bringing anything . tangible He referred to the chancellor's con versation as noncommittal- The pres. .dent took no action as a result of the message, waiting to hear from Am bassador Gerard whether anything of a mere formal character, could be ob tained V' \' WILSON BELIEVES MEXICANS CAPABLE i Withdrawal of Troops From Vera Cruz Comes From Belief That They Can Manage , Affairs . .... ?. -'-1-. fBy Associated Press.V Washington, S3pl.' ^7.-President Wilson declared today the? he"i>dered ibc American troops withdrawn from ?Vera Cru? because be believed that Mexicans noa- in control were able to manago Mexico's affairs. ?' Coincidentally the British ambassa dor, Slr Cecil Spring-Rice, 'expressed ?to thc State department bis own'regret that Slr Lionel Carden, British minis ter to Mexico, should have been quot ed in criticism of'thc president's poli cy He said British diplomats were never permitted to criticise the heads of the foreign countries,' and whatever Statement may have been made it did not represent the view of the British government. Official accepted the ambassador's explanation. They had realised Slr Lionel Carden had expressed 'person al'differences with Carranza, and had supposed he spoke resentfully" because the Constitutionalist chief had forced him to leave Mexico. The President said today that the question of withdrawing the troops from the Texas border had not been considered nor was he able to pre dict when formal r?cognition would bo extended. ' He pointed ont that he had official reports und assurances that conditions in Mexico -Were not un settled as had been reported.. He ex pect the conference on October 1 to name a provisional president, and he does not know, from official -reports.

WAR TO BE FELT FOR A LONG TIME Boston Banking House Shows j Some of the Evil Effects ol War (Br Associated Bress.) The Bani* of Anderson has icceivcd toni the First National Bank ot BOB ion a very interesting and i'luminat :ng weekly letter discussing thc ef ec?a of the foreign war. A'Hong ether things occurs this statement : "From the business view-point there exists the hop? that partial disbar ment may follow the struggle, result ing in the releasing of the people of Europe, in Some degree, from exces sive burdens in war taxes and Hilli ary be rv iee, and tile greater concen tration of governments upon the prcg- j r*?ss in industry and commerce rather i than upon the problems of war. One effect of the war on thti coun try has to do with the sharp restric tion which the war must impose, for a leng time, upon the foreign invest ments of thc leading European coun tries, estimated to have average not far from one half billions of dollars an nually. This will affect the United States In varlou? ways; through In? ibllity to sell our own' securities In he foreign markets, through the com petition of the other countries for our own capital and through th? curtail ment of the demand for certain ot our gooda due to the restriction in the Jovelopment of the newer countries. Dyestuffs enter extensively in the manufacture of textiles, leather, pa per, chemical?, -essentially New Eng land industries-as Well as Into a host <of other products. These dye stuffs come almost entirely from Ger many and the supply, naturally, BIUCC the war began, has ben practically cut off. Furthermore, even when com munication with Germany has been re established it is by no means certain that the dyestuffs strain will be reliev ed. The surplus stock of dyestuffs on hand in Germany is not known, and with the male population in arms it is probable that adequate production will not be resumed for some time to OTC. OP." of the largest dyestuff producers in Germany, employing 8. 000 to 10,000 persons, is known to nave less than 25 per cent of the force available at the plant the rest being ut war.
