GERMANY BELIEVED TO E OFFERED PEACE
Ifew ?roppsal to Allies Is Inferred Through Discussions In Diplomatic Circles.

J'.* -1 WASHINGTON. March IS.—Infer j" ttnces that Germany may have made j.\- ft new peace offer to the allies, pro.Vr. posing terms at the expense of Russia, coincided with an undercurrent of discussion Which has been running in dip5Somatic circles here for some time but
Which never has shown an evidence of 4 tangible development. The statement of Lord Robert Cecil
London yesterday, that no such proposalse would be considered, coupled With Marshal Hlndenburg's announcetnent that the German offensive would #0 on in view of the entente's unresponsive attitude toward Germany's peace intentions served to strengthen the view of neutral diplomats, who, for Home tirn£ Imve believed that sonic sort »f undcrground feelers have been going out,
American officials and allied diploInate while agreeing eutirely with Lord ."Cecil's statement that no such terms Can be considered, give no evidence of bow much may be known here of what Uindenburg refers to as Germany's |eace intentions.
Some of tht neutral diplomats, however, have for some time firmly beI'eved that Germany would be willing fven to Ktve up Alsace-Lorraine if she "were permitted to retain her hold on the Baltic provinces and the mineral lelts in the other nearby sections of JRussia. The general current of opinion In diplomatic, circles for some time has turned toward the possibility of Ger^,3' Jnaany attempting to give way on the many attempting to give way on the east.

These show that Germany knows production of ore within lier own borders is limited by experts to fifty years (hat Sweden, contemplating an iron Industry of her own, will require her own ore and that the supply in Spain, upon which Germany also has drawn, Is approaching exhaustion.
Consequently German officials contend that her supply of ore must iopirslly come from the fields of Longway And Briey. assuring ore for a century, unless It is to come from somewhere ••.else.
Inasmuch as the allies are pledged by repeated declaration to the restoration *f Frs nee, diplomats see in proposed J'ermsnent acquisition of mineral belts in the Russian provinces, Germany's )i»t hope of remaining a military ftower.

FORMER RUSS EMPEROR IS LOSING MENTAL CAPACITIES
Shows Not Slightest Interest In Affairs of the World, and Only Wants to Live Alone.
I'ETROGRAD, Jan. 10.—(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)—Imprisonment has affected greatly the mental .capacities of the former Emperor Nicholas II. according to a letter from the former Empress Alexandra Alix, written from Tobolsk to one of her former maids of honer in Petrograd. which has been intercepted. In it the former empress gives a detailed account of the royal family's life in Tobolsk.
The.
former emperor, she %rites,
seems to have grown dull arid very unsociable. He does not evince the slightest interest in current events, has ceased to think about the crown and only wants to be allowed to live in his own way. His only regret is that he cannot live in his old palace at Livadia, in the Crimea. ^Nicholas dresses in civilian clothes and spends much of his time with his son Alexis. He corresponds only with his mother.
The former empress declares that her children have become quite accustomed to their new position. Titana spends much time reading French literature, particularly Hovels, as do others in the family. Olga is much interested in housekeeping and spends most of her time in household duties. Alexis is busy with his studies and desire.® to travel.
Regret over her separation from her ISe^t friends is expressed by the empress, but she writes that she and the entire, family welcomed the news of peace in Russia.

HUU MEDICINE COMPANY BACK UP CLAIM WITH SI,000 IN GOLD
One thousand dollars in gold will be paid by the Hull Medicine company, Findlay. Ohio, if their claim that Halls Superlative contains the important elements as are found in the human body are disproved.
For 28 years this preparation ha« met with astonishing success in thousands of cases of colds, grip, toneilitis and stomach and nerve-disorders, and only recently was it proved that Hull's Superlative, is in reality not a "Medicine." but a tissue and vitality-builder. A chemical analysis demonstrated the fact that this preparation contains in very highly concentrated form the Important minerals the body must have to regain or maintain
ITS
proper health-
balance. and tnat when sickness or disease assails the body a course of treatment with this preparation restores health in an astonishingly short time.
Local druggists are selling great, quantities of Hull's Superlative, and while they are instructed to promptly refund the purchase price to any one returning a partly filled or empty bottlfc, not one customer has seen fit to take advantage of this offer. This is proof that Hull's Superlative is actually doing a wonderful work, and men and women who keep a bottle handy for emergency and take some occasionally will find they will enjoy an uninterrupted period of good health. For sale by all druggists.—Advertisement.

JAP ACTION IN SIBERIA IS STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION
Officials At Washington Say Little Regarding Plans, and Some Doubt Wisdom of Courfie.
WASHINGTON, karch 1«.—America's attitude towards intervention in Siberia, by Japan, whether she acts independently or in conjunction with other powers has not undergone any change, it was said today at the state department.
Officials remained reticent regarding Japan's expression of her intentions, but ittwas indicated that an exchange of views was continuing and from this it was deduced that Japa.n has not determined definitely on a course. It was suspected that final decision tnfght be delayed until the new Japanese minister Count Ishii reaches America, but the probability of that was discounted at the department.
It is known that the United States ha#: doubt of the need of intervention by Japan, many officials of this government fearing that tuch action might bring together the various factiens in Russia to combat the Japanese even if they were supported by the armies of th£ entente and America and however good their intentions.

Continued Prom Page On*.
As Noalces was being arraigned in City Court Saturday morning on the assault and battery charge, a messenger came into the court room with the sad news that the little child would suffer no longer. It was dead.
There was no sympathy in the court room for Noakes. There was scorn in the face of Judge Paul Shafer as he released the man to make provision for the burial of the infant who had died through his neglect. But there was sympathy for the little woman who mourns the loss of her child, and who lies in the little shack suffering and alon» with her dead.
Just a few weeks ago the Sim# woman appeared in City Court and told the judge that Nakes' had made no provision for her support, and that she had been cold and hungry throughout the oold, long winter, ffhe asked that Noakes be released to care for her, and he promised to do so. She asked nothing for herself, butjwhen the child came she did beg for it. But her plea for life was wasted.
