Berlin, Thursday, July 81.—The
former German emperor'* statement
on October 27, 1918, that he hid
reached an unalterable determina-
tion to Hue for a separate pence with-
in twenty-four hours and to demand
an immediate armlstlcc, is one of tho
many revelations of German war di-
plomacy contained in the "white
book" published at Weimar today.
The fo.'mfr emperor's decision to
seelc peace Immediately according to
documents in the white book, he con-
sidered necessary because he believed
the people both unable and unwilling
to continue the war. The former Ger
mnn ruler's conscience was said to
forbid him to permit further blood-
shed. In Sentember, according to the
documents, General I.udendorff heard
that Bulgaria had offered to sign a
senarate peace. In the official dis-
cussion It was agreed that Washing-
ton should be designated ns the center
of neace negotiations, as a matter of
politeness. Austria was- consulted by
telephone regarding the propos'-d
appeal. t
Von Hlndenburg Active.
On October 1, Field Mar«hn!
Hindenharg telegraphed to the vice
chancellor stating that if Prince Max.
of Baden should form a government
he would agree .to the aopeal for
peace being delayed until the next
morning.
<■>11 I he samo day General Groener
reported that General Ludendorff h id
declared that delay would be fatal,
that the formation of a new govern-
ment should not be awaited arid thr-.t
n hrcek in t'«e military line was pos-
nibte nt any minute.
Prince Max Immediately inquired
If Von Hlndenburg was unable to
hold the front. He received an an-
aw** t*et the armv stood by its de-
mand for an immediate pcacp off■ r.
Prince Max still held the matter of
peace as premature but oth«r mem-
bers of tho cabinet sided with General
Ludendorff and maintained that the
military verdict must bo adhered to
because If the situation should be
mi.do worse by 1're.sldent Wilson's
answer the army would seek to dodge
the responsibility.
Conflicts of opinion continued be-
tween Berlin and tho army com-
mand, up to October 26. President
Wilson's second note on the peace
♦erms, howevor, brought a stormy
protest from the supreme army com-
mand which wanted to break off ne-
gotiations. General Ludendorff look-
ed at the matter more hopefully.
After President Wilson's third note
on October 23, General Gallwitz and
Muera asked for a last opportunity fo
show that Germany's position was not
as bad as it was described but their
attempts in this way to prevent Aus-
tria making a separate peace' failed.
News of the Turkish armistice fol-
lowed and since the allies agreed to
President Wilson's fourteen points the
German people regarded the war as
ended. The white book points out
that wherever an attempt to delay
the armistice was suspected, trooos
rose in protest and ail differences be-
tween Berlin and the supreme army
command were dropped.

TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE SAYS
BROTHERHOODS HOLDING
UP CONGRESS.
(Awoclaied Press Dtapatch )
Washington, Aug. 2.—Representa-
tive nlanton, democrat, of Texaa,
charged in the house today that the
railroad brotherhoods were "holding
up congress, much the same as high-
waymen, for another unfair billion
dollars wage increase."
Representative Blanton said this
was the fourth time the railroad men
had asked increases pnd that con-
gress must continue in session until
the increases are gr.mted.
"The first threat." Mr. Blanton
said, "resulted in the Adamson law
becoming effective. Then the four
great brotherhoods forced jfr. Mc-
Adoo to grant an increase of $751,-
81,000. Not satisfied with this, Di-
rector Genera! Hines was hpld up
for another annual increase of $67,-
500,000 and now we must legislate so
that they will get another billion
dollars.
"They come like highwaymen and
threaten to destroy the railroad ac-
tivities of this country after Oct. 1
unless their demands are met"
(AMOCUUd Prm DUpalch.)
Washington, Aug. 2.—I'ublic hear-
ings on the economic sections of the
Versailles treaty were completed to-
day by the foreign relations commit-
tee nnd early next week Sscretary
Lansing probably will be questioned
by the committee regarding the
treaty's political features.
At today's session Bernard M.
Baruch and F. W, Taussig, economic
advlaers to the peace delegates, ex-
plained how the peace conference
reached some of its decisions regard-
ing German eUStoms, regulations and
indemnity. Their testimony largely
was technical In character. The list
of tho economic advisers to bo called
under present plans will be Norman
Davis, who will appear Monday.
I41 Follrtte Heurd From.
The committee's meeting was vir-
tually the only surface development
of the day in the treaty situation. The
senate reverted to issues of the treaty
fight only once. That was when, with-
out debate or a roll coll, it adopted
a resolution by Senator La Follette,
republican, Wisconsin, asking the
president why Costa Rica "Was not
permitted to sign the treaty.
Reservations Plans.
Metinwhile the under current of
private discussion among senators
continued to revolve about the pro-
gram of four reservations presented
by seven senators as a basis for ratl-
ficntlifc .if the league of Nations.
Plans were made for a conference
Monday at which the sponsors of the
plan hope to gain the accession of
other republicans who have been
friendly to the league. It was made
•'a n today that It was not the Inten-
tion to try to preserve the exact form
oj ihe four reserv.'Uituia-aa the nego-
tiations to li.crease the number of
their supporters continue;*. All of
the seven are said to be ready to make
some concessions in phraseology In
order not to handicap effort to bring
into a final agreement enough repub-
licans to hold the balance of the
power.
Should the number of republicans
. ubscribing to this egreement reach
twenty, it was pointed out, the group
would be in a position to place in
the hands of tho administration a
definite offer of support for a reser-
vation program Insuring ratification
of the covenant.

Charles Henry Phillips of Nashville,

colored Methodist Episcopal church
here todiay on business, issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding the race
riots in Washington and Chicago:
"I cannot believe that the negro was
influenced by bolshevist agents in the
part he took in the rioting. It is not
like him to be a traitor or a revo-
lutionist who would destroy govern-
ment. But the reign of mob law to
which he has so long lived In terror
and the injustices to which he has
had to submit, have made him sen-
sitive and impatient.
"I am unalterably opposed to vio-
lence and bloodshed and advise my
race against any propaganda that
would atlempt to produce our rights
through these methods."

Washington, Aug. 2.—Dissatisfied
with President Wilson's proposal to
have congress create a special body
to pass their demands, or consider
them In connection with the high cost
of living problem, the railway shop-
men began today 'o take an official
strike vote.
The shopmen contend that the rail-
way wage board of the railroad al-
mlnistration should pass on their de-
mands and fulling favorable action a
strike of about 500,000 men Is threat-
ened, labor officials said today.
B. M. -Jewell, acting president of
the Tailway employes' department of
the American Federation of Labor,
said tonight that General lllncs his
been informed by the committee rep-
resenting the shopmen of their dis-
satisfaction with the suggestion tVat
congress Intervene.
Request Presented In .Tannary.
"Acting In behalf of the six shop
crafts, a committee of one hundred
presented to tho d'rector general of
railroads on January 7, the request
for an increase In the wage scales,"
Mr. Jewell said . "On Feb. 8, the
question was referred to the board
of adjustment of railway wages and
working conditions during March and
April. The whole subject was thresh-
ed out at hearings of the board, and
on July 16, the board made its rec-
ommendation to the director gen-
eral.
"Following a conference with Mr.
Hines, on July 28, we believed that
the question had finally come to ft
head and rxpected a decision. The
letter from Mr. HInea. .JLo Unguent
Wilson followed and that solution we
havo positively rejected.
Strike Vote Cull Sent Out.
'We have noT decided to send out
the call for a strike vote, returnable
Aug. 24, at midnight, to the 500.000
employes of the American railroads
and the 10,000 employes of Canadi."n
railroads affected. The shop craft
has asked for a minimum of 85 cents
an hour for mechanics nnd an in-
crease of 17 cents, a minimum of €0
cents for helpers, an Increase of 15
cents, and an increase of 10 cents per
hour for apprentices.
"Tho Canadian employes are In-
volved by reason of the fact that
their wage and working conditions,
under an agreement reached with tho
railroad board, are based on stand-
ards similar to the United States.
"We shall endeavor to settle the
demands by negotiation with the
railroad administration, pending re-
ceipt of the strike vote. That will,
when taken, simply center the power
for calling a strike In the hands of
the committee.
"The first effect of calling for a
vote will be the ending of the pre-
sent strike, which has taken out a
considerable number of shopmen In
various sections of the country.
Their walkouts have been unau-
thorized but we expect that they will
return when they see that the or-
ganizations mean action in a united
fashion.
"International unions of machlnlts,
blacksmiths, and helpers, hollermsk-
ers ard helpers, sheet inetal work-
ers electrical workers and railway
car men of America are Involved In
the controversy."
Chicago. Aug. 2.—More than 250.-

NEGRO LABOR—DAMAGE
SUITS ON.
TO
(Associated Press Dispatch )
Chicago, Auf;. 2.—As a result of the
fire which eany today destroyed six
blocks of homes of stock yuid work-
ers, neg^o labor at the yards will bo
barred to prevent a possible recur-
rence of raco rioting. This announce-
ment was made tonight after a con-
ference of Governor Lowden and the
packers.
The stock yards district hid been
a storm center of racial feeling dur-
ing the riots, and with the disappear-
ance of serious outbreaks yesterday,
it had been planned for the lti.000
negro workers to return to their
posts at the stock yards tomorrow.
But the fire, which many of Ihe for-
eign workers who were made home-
less declared was started bj- negroes,
aggravated feeling and changed the
plans.
Although Fire Attorney Decabe de-
clared many witnesses had told him
negroes had been seen to set fires in
tho neighborhood, Governor Txwden
was inclined to believe that labor
trouble rather than race feeling was
responsible. The homes burned were
chiefly those of Polish and Lithuan-
ian families and some reports seen.ed
to Indicate, the governor thought, that
radical labor jnen had started tho
tires because Foreign work" in tho
stock yards had not suppc d their
plans.
Except about the v k yards,
feeling seemed to have subsided to-
night.
Firemen estimated, after a survey
of the burned district, that thirty-
four homes, many of the two family
type, all of them wooden construc-
tion, had been destroyed.
Coroner Hoffman announced today
that no marks of violence had been
found on tfio body of Eugene Wil-
liams. a colored youth, who was re-
ported struck and knocked from a
raft into Ivike Michigan late Sunday
at the 29th street bathing beach
when stone throwing precipitated the
riots. The coroner stated that the
negro hail not been struck by stones
but had been drowned.
George Stauber, white, Is being
held by the police on a chnrge of
murder In connection with Williams'
death.
Only a few minor disturbance oc-
curred today. In one case a Mexi-
can, Theodore Gracln, supposed to
have been mistaken lor a negro,
was slabbed probably fatally, b> a
white man In the stock yards dis-
trict. Af 33rd street and Prairie
avenue, a negro was beaten by a
white man.
Negro attorneys are preparing
damage suits against the city as a
result of the riots. Under the titate
law, persons who do not participate
in riots oan recover from the muni-
cipality for damage sustained. In at
least twelve cases of negroes slain,
atorneys have prepared suits for $5,-
000.

Washington, Aug. 2. In the ftice
of growing unrest over the high cost
of livin;?, as Indicated by the spread-
ing strike of railroad workers, many
government agencies moved today In
efforts to effect a return to normal
price levels.
Immediate sale of all surplus food-
stuffs nurchased for tho army. Instead
of only canned goods, was ordered by
the war department. Millions of
pounds of meat, beans, pumpkin,
squash and other commodities will be

prices materially lower thin those
now prevailing In tho market. Pur-
chasers will have to pay postage

sioner Colver, and Assistitnt Secretary
Lefflngvvell, appointed by the confer-
ence assembled by Attorney General
Palmer to recommend steps to reduce
living costs, were engaged today in an
exchange of memoranda.
May Find Relief.
The Impression went out that the
comltteo had agreed that steps could
be taken by congress which would
alleviate the situation at once, but
it was said at Mr. nines' otfice lhat
nothing final bad been decided upon.
The committee was Instructed par-
ticularly to deal with profiteering and
to suggest how law enforce.ne,.t
agencies should proceed to bring to
justice men guilty of extortion through
utu 'wsonable prices.
If pny recommendation is made to
congress, it Is believed most likely
that it will deal with the sale of the
wheat crop at market prlreH and the
absorption by the government be-
tween the price and the #2.Hi! guar-
anteed tho farmer. Me.ny officials
huve indicated that this Is the most
practicable step to be taken.
CongrcHH on the Job.
Congress continued to discuss the

T® the Voters of Temple
Temple, Texas; August 2nd, 1919.
We, the undersigned members of the School Board of
Temple, direct the attention of the Public to the following
facts:
The growing school fund deficit which has been grad-
ually accumulating for a number of years Is now in
round numbers $10,000.00. Because of a number of
teachers owning their homes and others having formed
attachment3 in the community, we have been successful
in inducing many of these to remain with us at very slight
increase in their salaries. The most liberal increase of
salaries has been very light. .
Our school buildings are sorely In need of repair and
our school equipment as badly needs extension.
Our economy in the administration of the funds at our
disposal provokes criticism by those who do not know our
scant "resources. Not a dollar has been expended that
could have been avoided.
WE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE to vote for the boys
and girls of the city when they cast their votes on next
Tuesday, the 5th lust.
If the tax increase of 25 cents is voted, the funds will
be applied to the payment of fie $10,000.00 deficit and
the bulk of tbe remainder will be expended in repairs of
school buildings and school equinaient, and the very
small balance will be applied to the payment of the very
small increase of the salaries of teachers.
We make the foregoing statements of fact, and con-
fidently await the results of the election.
Respectfully submitted,
W. E. HALL, President.
It. H. SWINK, Vice President.
J. A. WILKERSON, Secretary.
