COPENHAGEN, Aug. 23. A Bcr
I'm dispatch quotes Chancellor
Michuclis before the muin rcichstag
committee Tuesday in part as fol
lows: "It is easily understood, in view of
the attitude of our enemies, that the
German press maintain!! that it is im
possible for us to make fresh peace
proposals."
The chancellor hero minted the
Berlin Vorwaerts, the socialist organ,
to the effect that responsibility for
the prolongation of the war rested
upon the allies, and that for Germany
there was only one alternative "to
defend ourselves nnd our kin "
"I think," lie continued, "this is
the general feeling of our people. It
is in such a situation as this that I
nvfv submit to you the peace propos
als contained in the pope s note. The
contents of the note, I believe, are
known to all of you.
Agreement With Allies.
"I cannot take lip any definite
position regarding the material
tenor of the proposals or go into any
details concerning them until nn
agreement is reached with our al
lies. "It is only possible for me to ex
plain my views in general. I oppose
the view that the pope's proposal
was inspired by the central powers.
It was due to the spontaneous deci.
ion of the head of the Catholic
church.
"If I must speak with reserve with
regard to detail, I can say that it
corresponds generally to our own
expressed attitude. We are sympa
thetic toward every attempt to in
spire the .thought of peace among the
war-weary eoplcs, and we especi
ally greet the raovo of the pone,
whicb, in my opinion, was based on
tlgvfinest desire for impartiality and
justice. I sum up in this way:
Negotiations Pending.
"The note was not initiated by us,
but was ndvanced on the spontane
ous initiative of the pope. We greet
with sympathy the pope's efforts by
a durable peace to make nn end of
the war of peoples.
"Regarding the answer of the
note:. We are communicating with
our allies, but the negotiations have
not yet. been concluded. For the
present I am unable to enter upon a
closer discussion of the material
points, but I nm ready to discuss the
matlcr further with the committee
until the answer is ready. I express
the hope that common labor will
bring us nearer to the realization of
what all desire--nn honorable peace
for the fatherland."
SALEM, Or., Aug. 23 Fred Moore

killed at a late hour last night by A.E.

ed a horse and rode at full speed to
Jhe Oregon penitentiary, where ho

BUTTE, Mont., Aug. 23. Thirty
per cent of the 2400 men employed at
the Washoe smelter of the Anaconda
Copper company, at Anuaconda one
of the largest reduction plants in the
world, are not at work today as the
result of a decision of a portjon of the
men, reached at a meeting last night,
to strike. The strike decision affect
ed the street car men in Anaconda
who are members of the Smelter-.
men's union. After one trip to. the
smelter this morning the car service
was cut off and it Is estimated that
many employes who desired to work
today were prevented because of lack
of transportation facilities, from
reaching their places.
Last night's meeting of smelter
men was called by Tom Campbell,
Joe Shannon and other leaders of the
metal mine workers union, the newly
formed Tadlcal organization of Butte.
It was stated that Campbell carried a
charter from this organization to An
aconda to organize the disaffected
men into a new union. No steps to
ward definite organization, however,
were taken. The decision of the rad
icals to strike following the action of
the smeltermen's union two weeks
ago In defeating a walkout proposal
when the proponents or a strike fail
ed to muster a two-thirds vote.
