Peace Erzberger Eyes Peace Talks With Lloyd George
Berlin reports say Dr Mathias Erzberger, head of the clerical party, could arrange peace negotiations within hours if permitted to meet Premier Lloyd George in person. The disclosures, from Berlin and now in Switzerland, trigger sensational reaction in pan German papers amid war fatigue. Secretary Lansing, at Madison Barracks, denounces German chancellor and outlines US aims in the war, stressing deeper reasons beyond immediate causes. He accuses the German government of breaking faith and pursuing inhumanity. The State Health Department begins a solitary survey of Gettysburg encampment areas to prevent disease spread, inspecting water sources and mosquito breeding sites. Public Services Commission opinions fix Westmoreland Water Co property value at 1,126,000 with fair returns of 78,750, and order Schuylkill Railway to replace decayed ties and complete repairs within sixty days.

Draft Quotas to Be Readjusted After Census Review
The plan proposes shifting some credit from recruiting offices to home districts of enlisted men and readjusting district quotas. Col. Frank G. Sweeney of Harrisburg cautioned against known inequalities but said corrections will follow if any exist. The draft quotas, set by the president in proportion to population, rely on a census dummy to distribute state and district figures, ensuring fairness across sections drained of young men and those with excess draft age due to industrial growth.
