He OPPOSES A TRUCE.
Carnegie Wants Fight to Continue
Through the Holidays.

Washington, Dec. 11-Andrew Car

pressed decided opposition to truce in
the European war during the Christmas
holidays. He declared that it would be
uncffristianlike and immoral to stop the
fighting and then begin. it again. He
added that he could not believe that
any nation which adopted such a sug-
gestion was doing it sincerely.
The president was out playing golf
and Mr.. Carnegie said he probably
would return to pay his respects. He
praised Mr. Wilson's efforts in behalf
Of peace.
Mr.. Carnegie gave it as his opinion
that the military caste in Germany was
responsible for the war, but that at
the time hostility broke out the kaiser
was Ill and opposed to the war.
The kaiser has told me that he took
the greatest pride In the fact that he
reigned for many years without being
But he was surrounded by a ring of
militarists who were eager for war at
any price"
Mr.. Carnegie said his peace founda-
ton would continue its work and that
he believed ultimately, international ar
filtration would settle all disputes. He
declared children should be taught the
horrors Of war rather than brought up
to admire soldiers and their deeds.
Mr.. Carnegie showed interest at q
suggestion to him that he might be
called upon by the president to help
bring about peace when the time came.
Il will do anything 1 possibly can

estly desires peace and the entire coun-
try should support him.

Many CANDIDATES
FOR POST0fFlCE

dates to Enter Field-l. c. Hatch
Out With Petition.

Uneasy lie the heads of'-the
numerous candidates for postmaster
in our little burg. The re-classifica
ton of the Office and it's being advanc
ed from the fourth to the third class
has put it on a good paying basis
and made it a desired appointment
And thus it happens that number
OF candidates are willing and appar-
emily more than willing to stand in
the pOstmaster's shoes. Last week
there were but two petitions on the
docket, those of ]. U. Wise, the pres
ent incumbent, a republican and l..
C. Hatch, foreman in the office OF the
Enterprise Printing Co., democrat,
and public sentiment seemed inclined
to give Mr.. Wise the best of the deal.
AS the situation was discussed it was
decided that few of the leading dem
ocrats should interview Mr.. G. l.. Cas-
we'll, the chairman of the democratic
central committee at DenisOn and fol-
lowing this conference another condi-
date, Mr.. Ed Ahart, tossed his hat
into the ring. Mr.. S. A. Dow is also
an active candidate. And every body
is being given ample opportunity to
sign some petition 1t is difficult to
even guess as to who will secure the
coveted appointment. The matter is
being given a great deal of consider
alton and everyone is discussing the
merits of the candidates both pro and
con. 1t is sincerely hoped that the
man best qnalified for the position
will be selected 1t is the only gov
eminent position in this place and is
the best one in the western part of
the county and we wish to see the
chosen person be one whose qualifi-
cations are recognized and gets the
place through merit and not through
"pulp'. The outcome is awaited with
keenest interest.
