WASHINGTON, D. C.—One of the
supplementary war measures which
has been favorably reported to the
senate and is now pending upon the
calendar, provides for the counting of
service in the army or navy of the
Waited States as equivalent to resi
dence and cultivation upon homestead
entries. Senator Shafroth, of Colo
rado, introduced the bill, and it was
agreed to and reported by the public
lands committee.
Many homestead entries have been
made by men who have expressed a
readiness to enter the naval or military
service to “do their bit” in the war
against autocracy. Under the home
stead act actual residence and cultiva
tion for a definite period is required
before title can be obtained to the
land, and the proposed act would make
; service in the army or navy equivalent
to residence and cultivation for a giv
en period of service in the war. The
report of the committee states: 4
“Such a bill was passed during the
war with Spain and it was specified
that it should apply to any other war
in which the United States may be

DEAD BODY FOUND
NEAR TOWN OF DOUGLAS
DOUGLAS, May 8.—P. A. Ander
son, a rancher who lives near Ne
vado creek, arrievd in Douglas about
9 o’clock last night and reported to
the authorities that he had found the
body of a man lying face downward
in the sand of the beach, about one
mile south of the Bullion mine. Mr.
Anderson was out hunting his cows
when the body was discovered. He
immediately came to town in his
launch and notified Coroner Henson
who made up a party consisting of
City Marshal George Johnson, H. V.
Sully, the undertaker, and Fred Hen
son, who left for the scene in Mr. An
derson’s launch. The body is reported
to be dressed in a gray, striped suit of
clothes and that of a man evidently
about middle aged. Mr. Anderson
stated that he did not see his face,
but he tied a rope to one of his legs
to secure it from the rising tide, and
he judged that the body was in a fair
ly good state of preservation.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark.—“Any
German peace proposal at this time
simply indicates the determination of
a tremendously organized and still
powerful nation to gain its own ends,”
declared Maurice Francis Egan, the
United States minister to Denmark,
today, in a warning to the people of
America. He appealed to his fellow
countrymen not to be deceived by
German peace duplicity and not to
slacken their war preparations under
the mistaken impression that the Ger
mans are really ready to cease hos
tilities.
How strongly he feels the insin
cerity of Germany’s “peace proposal”
which has been scattered broadcast
over Europe is indicated by the fact
that he decided to violate diplomatic
precedent, which prohibits an envoy
expressing personal views or granting
interviews. But Mr. Egan decided the
exigencies of the situation justified it.
“Relaxation of American prepared
ness would increase contempt of the
powerful Germans toward the United
States,” Mr. Egan declared. “Advices
from Hamburg, Stettin and elsewhere
in Germany prove that although food
conditions are bad everywhere, still
the people are sanguine of victory and
are willing to make further sacrifice.”
Any peace proposals by Germany at
this time, he said, merely aim to elim
inate Russia as a military force, and
to obtain the Russian larder. The
Germans, especially those in Berlin,
regard American military pretensions
as a bluff.
Continuing, he said: “There is no
danger of dethronement of the Hohen
zollerns in Germany. Let me empha
size peace talk in America will only
prolong the war.
“Germany will have constitutional
reforms—perhaps in the near future.
But there isn’t the slightest reason
for believing that such reforms will
impose the Tsar’s fate on the kaiser
and his line.
“The German reptile press has im
bued the German populace with the
belief that victory is simply a question
of time.
“Every American here who knows
German conditions is eager that the
people of the United States be warned
in advance of the hollowness of Ger
man professions of peace. They hold
peace proposals are part of the whole
German plot to gain time—and in the
meanwhile Germany still hopes to win
by her submarine warfare. They pre
dict careful dissection of any formal
peace plans or war aims which may
be announced will reveal them utterly
insincere, although on their face they
may hint at great concessions. The
best knowledge of Germany is now be
lieved to be working on the list of war
aims which the imperial chancellor,
Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, is an
nounced as about to state to the
Reichstag.”
