LOOK OUT FOR CAMOUFLAGE IN PEACEjVERTURE Kaiser Wants to Check Our War Preparations, Declares Secretary Baker. WASHINGTON. Dee. 24. Germany's newest peace propaganda, viewed as a foreruner to an offensive in the west unless a Germanmade peace is accepted by the allies and the United States, "should not for a moment induce us to slacken our preparations for war," says Secretary Baker in his weekly review of the military situation. The Germans realize," continues the statement, "that within a short time our armies will form the princi

pal body of fresh strategic reserves remaining available on the battlefields of Europe. "Our armies constitute the reserve of victory!" Depend en Italians. The review points out that the fighting morale of Italy may be relied upon no matter how intensive the German Pace campaign becomes, and says: "The Italian theater once again is the scene of important military activity. ' "The enemy, impaticut of the delays which have occurred in bringing about the successful penetration of the Ital

ian plain and the overthrow of the

Italian armies, has dispatched further

forces to the Italian front, with a view to achieving a decisive result. "The Germans are endeavoring to follow the precepts of claslo strategy and by a successful enveloping move

ment effect the destruction of the

Italian and allied forces. Want to Repeat.

"It would appear that they are

anxious to conclude their Italian adventure In a manner similar to the previous campaigns in Russia, Serbia and

Rumania, where, as a result of the strategic envelopments gained at rela

tively small cost, vast tracts of territory were conquered. "Enemy pressure continues intense along the entire front "Before proceeding with any operations in the west the Germans hope to drive the Italians back to the

Adige, anticipating that such a re

verse would have a very disintegrating influence throughout Italy. "It la apparent that the Germans have not given up all hope of bringing about a social upheaval in Italy, as they did in Russia after their victorious campaigns of 1915. . "No matter how intensive this new subversive propaganda may be. nevertheless we can confidently rely on the fighting morale of the Italian people. "Along the western front the enemy has continued his harassing tactics."

a wait or nearly five minutes two more shots were heard. Both Had Fired Shots. Mr. Strause opened the door to detectives. "Mr. Mead and I had some trouble and I shot him," he said. Mead was found lying on the floor, a revolver near his right hand. One bullet was rone. Two erantv cheiie

were in the revolver surrendered by Strause. Mead was still breathing, but died before a physician arrived and without saying a word. Bloody finger prints on the wall and a trail of blood on the floor showed that he had staggered along for twenty feet before falling. ' Slain Man Shot Twice. Two bullet wounds were found by the coroner. One is just below the right nostril. It was fired -at close range, for the face is powder burned. The other is in the right temple. Though the two revolvers show only three bullets missing, the coroner, W. B. Elliott, dug two bullets out of the wall, picked one up on the floor, and two are supposed to be in Mr. Mead's body. An aUtODSV Will hft hAld tn deter.

mine this point or whether the bullets

went ciear tnrougn tne oody and lodged in the walls. Both Prominent Socially. Mr. Strause has made a statement to officials, but it was not published.

PERRY JOINS GUARDS Charles C. Perry." formerly of Richmond, now president of the Zndianoplis Light and Heat . company, is serving the state as a private In Company C of the Indiana militia. Though he probably is one of the busiest men in Indianapolis, his enlistment was among the first when the company was formed two weeks ago.. At a meeting of the militia held last week some one asked Mr. Perry why a busy man like himself desired to take on military duty. "I'll tell you," he stated in a little talk to the boys. "I am 60 :. years old, but the man doesn't live In this country, if he

is every inch an American, whose blood doesn't boil in these days. No matter his age he wants to fight. He should fight. I feel, to, that no man's affairs are too big, too important, that he can afford to stand aside when his country needs him. The head of the big corporation mustn't shirk responsibility when the ooys under him aren't trying to."
