Iili'turcH of rolatlvos, sweethearts or
close friends, taken against a back
ground of scenes In their "own lionio
town," wlulil be shown to American
noldlers In tho trenches under a plan
submitted to Kewlon I). Baker, sec
retary of war, by Thomas II. Incc, a
motion picture producer, In a letter
made public here today.
.Mr. Jnce's plan contemplates the
making of motion pictures tinder
government auspices In every city
and town of Importance, . Parents,
families or friends and sweeUioarts
of soldiers In each center, according
to tho plan, would bo notified to ap
pear at a cortaln time and motion
pictures, probably a simple panoramic
view would bo taken of them, prob
ably taking In, nlso, familiar build
inns, streets or parks in each town.
TJius tho reel of each center would bo
to; tho soldiers from that place a touch
of "homo" and for most of them of
vjlal Interest, for they would seo In
motion, life-like, ami In n familiar
Batting, mother, sweetheart, children
or others of tho family. Reels could
be' shown nt certain points nt the
front, so Los AngeloB soldiers could
go to seo tho Los Angeles reel and
Kow York soldiers tho (New York pic
tures. '
Mr. Inro estimated that about 40
persons could bo shown In a foot of
film, which, finished, ready for pro
duction, would cost tho government
about ten cents, if ono person, dear
to ono certain soldier, could bo shown
him, tho cost for a million men would
be but 2,r.00 for the film.
IMr. Inco advocated the plan ns
practical and economical, and .ofrors
to supervise tho matter and at his
own expenso to assemble, label and
put In shapo the many roels.

be submitted to arbitration.
Most of these strikers di

head "Despotism doomed," says:
in Germany Just now evidently
by preconcerted arrangement, resolu
tions are being passed by all sorts of
organizations attacking the American
president for the Bcathing strictures
on autocratic power In Germany
which planned this war and Its prose
cution has 'stopped at no barrier.
cither of law or mercy.' -
This tremendous Indictment of the
kaiser and his entourage evidently
made a deep impression in Germany.
Hence, these Inspired resolutions or
protests, hence the kaiser's message
published today, and Ilindenburg's
contemptuous allusion to the Ameri
can president. These engineered
German protests .against President
Wilson's powerful indictment prove
that the kaiser, his junkers and the
military caste know the stream of the
tendency against them."

lustily.
BERLIN, Sept. 18. The German
foreign office in a statement given
to the Associated Press today denies
stories appearing in Danish and other
foreign newspapers to the effect that
the German government has indirect
ly communicated Its peace terms to
Washington, or had sought Bounding
sentiment In the United States.
' The German foreign office further
Informed the Associated Press that
the rumors were promptly discredited
on the strength of the poaco terms
ascribed to Germany and further by
the fact that there was no occasion
for Germany to address the Washing
ton government in this respect.
The assertions made by Mathlos
Erzberger, the clerical leader in the
relchstag,' that Germany's nolo In re

also was denied in official quarters.
The centre leader informed his
electors to this effect in the course
of two meetings which he addressed
in Wurttemborg on Sunday.
