(Canadian Prose Despatch.) ROME. _Aug l8~Reports are coming
from cast. Welt. north amd south con- cerning efforts by Turkey and Bulga- ria, to make a separate peace with the Allies. However, the papers warn the public not to put too much faith in such rumors, as while there is a' grain of truth in them, the gov- ernments of these countries have -ta- lien no steps to that end.
The fact seems to be that certain
influential persons of both Bulgaria and Turkey have sounded England
-_-; :_-.»:.-_-11-: ~ ~v 2'-2 f-_-_-iv .-Y-_-_-.-_-_-_-_-.-;-_-_==_- _
and France and even Russia, for the purpose of ascertaining on what terms seperate peace would ne grant- ed, but that the Allies replied evas- ively, intimatillg that they could on- ly treat with the responsible govern- ments and on t'/l understanding that the countries desiring peace, would fully acknowledge the victory of the Allies.
Real negotlationsare still a long
way off, but interested Bulgarians and Turks are working for this end.

Big Food Iiranils °
hi_~Germany
(Canadian Press Despatch.) THE HAGUE, Aug. 16- The new
German “war usury bureau," has justified its' existence by revealing surprising details of widely ramifled food frauds, according to reports re- ceived here. Tlle frauds are said to involve a half dozen leaders and a hundred acconlplices. These men are said -to have smuggled hundreds' of _tons of wheat, rice and barley flour from the province of West Prussia to Berlin, where it was sold at a profit of three hundred (300) per cent. I
The existence of the flour, reports
say, was concealed from the govern- ment stock-taker by all manner of ar- tlflcec, and was shipped on night trains as potatoes or machinery. 'Among the accomplices and ring- leaders were adveral governunent officials and several station masters. who are charged with connivance in ithe fraud by consigning ilcur under
_false des'ci'lptions. German news- papers are demanding exemplary punishment for the men arrested.

Reinforcements and all avail- able reserves from the training camps in the interior of Germany have been brought to the Somme front and a great addition in heavy guns and other artillery has also been made to the defensive apparatus. This has been done at the urgent instigation of Von MacKenzen who now has his per- sonal headquarters behind -the Gen
man lines on the Somme probably at Cambrai. ' Closely associated with Von MacKenzen and acting in direct- ing under his have been assigned Ge- nerals Von Arima and Von Gallwitz. These two men were Von MacKen zens .chief iieutenants in the Russian campaigil of 1915. Regrouping com- mands oll this front by the German General Staff is believed to be an ao knowledgement of the threatening character of the success of the Angio- Frefnch offensive and at the same time a sharp rebuke to the German genes als heretofore in command `ln -the west.
