 Hopes for Peace.

WASHINGTON, Nov 17.--It is re. ported here from northern Mexico that General Carranza is willing to quit Mexico in the interest of peace but that he insists that Provisional President Carranza shall do likewise and both of them agree never to re. turn.
 The administration is still hopeful of peace and has its diplomatic agents with both factions at work trying to arrange for a settlement that will prevent civil war.

Uneasiness In Germany.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 17.-The mil itary correspondent of The Berlin Tageblatt hints that there is a cer- tain amount of anxiety about the sit uation manifesting itself in Germany. He explains, though, that a decisive victory is likely to come Hike thief in the night" and that it will more probably be on the east front rather than in the west.
 While fresh masses of troops can be brought without hindrance over seas," he says, "they constitute an awkward adversary.

WARDENSPROTECT
ROCK RIVER FISH
E. E. McDole of Rock Island
Among Fifteen Game Off
Gals at Sterling Sunday.

Deputy State Game Warden Elmer
+ McDole. was among fifteen other
game wardens who were at Sterling
Sunday to prevent the theft of fish
from the Rock river, while the water
was let out sufficiently to conduct the
work OF laying watermains across the
stream.
The Sterling Gazette says:
The Sterling Water Company's OPP
erations on the river bottom between
the two dams attracted hundreds of
sight seers Sunday morning and after
noon. All days long the sides of the
river were crowded with spectators,
while there were many fishermen be-
low the lower dam. A large number
of people spent the day claiming,
many pearls of various sizes being
found. although none of any particu-
lar value was reported.
Superintendent Decker. with a force
of fifty men, pushed the work of pipe
laying with all the skill of a corps of
engineers. Starting at the south side
as soon as the water receded, a road
was constructed down the bank and
the work of laying the pipe started.
The pipe was laid nearly half way
across during the day and unless
unavoidable arises, the
work will soon be completed. The
work was retarded somewhat by
the water rising in the chan
mel, caused by the closing of the
gates at the lower dam and the fact
that a small amount of water came
over the upper dam. This difficulty
was soon adjusted. however.
The river Grained rapidly Saturday
night. Although it was after midnight
before the gates of the canal and
gates in the dam opened, by 4 o'clock
Sunday morning the river had gone
down sufficiently to allow work to
start.

necessitate the further reduction of
the force employed in the local United
States engineers office from the nor
NAL number OF 40 TO perhaps five or
six men.
In the Waterways Journal, published
at St Louis. Mo, Aug s. appears an
article defending the rivers and har-
bors bill. The article alleges that
there was an apparent filibuster
against its passage on the part of a
few senators. Many criticisms were
presented on the floor Of the senate
and through certain newspapers OF
the country. alleging that improper
items had crept into the bill, and
some papers freely charged that 1t
was a pork barrel measure. These
statements are utterly unwarranted.
the article states. The bill was franz
ed along the exact lines followed for
many years in preparing rivers and
harbors bills. The article also stated
that il is the best rivers and hcFhcS-
bill ever presented to the senate, and
its failure would be national calam-
ity.
