LEADERS BEHIND RECENT GERMAN SOCIAL PROGRAM
Embodies Enemy Peace Terms, is Belief of Allied Officials. 'Bv Associated Press) LONDON Sep. 25. There Is good reason to believe that the program adopted by the social democratic faction of the Reichstag at Its meeting on Monday was not only inspired by the German government, but actually embodies Germany's peace terms, according to Rotterdam dispatches to It is pointed out by the dispatch that the part of the program referring to international arrangements as distinct from internal reforms was discussed soon after the failure of the German offensive and when it became apparent that Germany's prospects were hopeloss. The resolutions adopted by the social democratic party included the unrestricted endorsement of the Reichstag of the peace resolution of July, 1917. It also declared in favor of Germany leading a league of nations based on a peaceable settlement of all disputes, and general disarmament There was an inoffensive declaration on the Belgian question, on the restoration of Belgium and on an understanding regarding indemnities, ' and the restoration of Serbia and Mon tenegro and a declaration that the peace treaties of Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest must not hinder the conclusion of peace. It was urged that civil administration over all occupied territories be given upon the conclusion of peace to democratic parliments which are to be established forthwith. Autonomy for Alsace and Lorraine was also privided for in the resolution, which also declared for universal, equal, secret anddirect suffrage for all the German states. It is said that the Prussian Land Tag will be dissolved if equal suffrage does not result without delay from deliberations of the committee of the upper house.

Aid Given Government by Real Estate Men is Told Local Board
Thomas Ingersoll, now located In Washington, D. C, as executive secretary of the National Real Estate association board was ' the principal speaker at a meeting of twenty real estate men of the city at the Commercial club this morning. John Peltz, local secretary for the Real Estate board introduced the speaker, who explained In an informal manner the relations of the National association, and its members who are termed "reators," to the war department Ingersoll said, "Last October .congress posted the alien property custodian bill, and this has necessitated the assistance of men acquainted with such work as has also the housing question, which is becoming more and more important as the war continues. The government has hired us to assist in organizing work allied to both of these questions and many others. The men on the committee, members of which are stationed in various towns are in most cases donating their services in making appraisals, and lending experienced advice. The field men go into the cities where housing questions have come up for investigations and their assistance is immediate and needed." "No longer, Ingersol continued," do we hear much of the real estate shark, for through publicity and outstanding work of the "reators," the profession has been raised, and now, gentlemen, we are down there at Washington putting the Real Estate business on the map." The state secretary of the Real Estate association, Mr. Darwin, of Indianapolis, spoke briefly in regard to the state organization and its work, and made mention of the fact that a state convention will be held in Terre Haute on Oct. 23 and 24, at which FINAL SUFFRAGE ARGUMENT TODAY (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 The final argument of the national American Woman Suffrage association was taken to the capitol in person today by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the association's president. Accompanied by suffragists from many states. Mrs. Catt first called on Vice President Marshal at his office and later the separate committees of the delegation visited senators at their offices. This was described as the final drive of the association in the interest of the Susan B. Anthony amendment to the federal constitution, which is to be called up in the senate tomorrow by Senator Jones, chairman of the suffrage committee. Suffrage leaders hope to force a vote on the resolution before the end of the day and are confident of mustering more than the two thirds majority necessary for its passage. Rumanian Crown Prince Imprisoned by Father (By Associated Press.) AMSTERDAM, Sept. 25. Crown Prince Charles of Rumania, has been punished by his father, as commander In chief of the army, with close confinement for seventy-five days for transgressions of military regulations, according to an official telegram from Jassy by way of Berlin. The crown prince began his sentence yesterday. "The validity of the actions which led to his arrest will be investigated and such measures as are required by the interest of the country and the dynasty will be taken," tha dispatch adds. Reports have been received here of the arrest of Crown Prince of Rumania. It is believed here that the crown prince is being disciplined because, according to a report which reached London a few days ago, he went to Odessa about Sept. 15, and without the sanction of the Ling, married Miss Zyzis Lambrino, a Rumanian, who has no claims of royal blood.

ARMY MUST HAVE 50,000 NURSES i BY NEXT JULY (By Associated Press) ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 25 Acting Secretary of War Crowell, in a letter read today before the convention of the American hospital association, said the army probably would need at least 50,000 nurses by next July. In order to obtain them without seriously crippling the civil hospitals, he said, Secretary Baker has approved a plan to supplement the supply of graduate nurses with pupils after the army school of nursing, which plan is now being put into effect by the surgeon general. Up to the present, Mr. Crowell added, the government has withdrawn from civil hospitals only about 16,000 nurses, while 25,000 have been graduated from training schools. Mr. Crowell said that Secretary Baker realizes the demands of the war department have seriously affected the administration of civil hospitals by the withdrawal of staff physicians, internes, nurses and employes. "An .effort has been made," he declared, "to leave a sufficient number of physicians for the hospitals, but this has been rendered difficult because of the patriotic spirit which has prompted many to go in spite of the representations made to them that their duty was to remain at home." He told the delegates the government's program of five million men under arms by next fall would necessitate approximately 500,000 hospital beds abroad and 200,000 in the United States for army purposes and urged the support and co-operation of all interests concerned.

Two thousand people was the estimated attendance at the Preble County Fair here Tuesday, the opening day. As compared with other years, the attendance this year on the opening day was much lighter.

A spirit of patriotism is Indicated in elaborate American flag decorations across the front enclosure of the fair grounds. The . amphitheatre also is decoraed appropriately. The nation's colors are in evidence throughout the grounds.
