Panama-Pacific Exposition Will be
Held on Time.
To the Editor of The News:
In response to telegraphic inquiry
on August 18th, we received the fol-
lowing night letter from Mr.. Chas
c. Moore, president OF the Panama
Pacific International Exposition:
San Francisco. Cal,
Aug. 13, 1914.
Answering your telegram, the
Exposition is in daily receipt of many
kilograms from friends OF the Ex-
position expressing candid, carefully
weighed opinions of the advisability
of postponement. The majority of
our friends take the opposite view.
1t is pointed out, first, that the usual
aid enormous tide of European
travel from America and South
America would, in 1915, under war
conditions, be almost certainly turn
ed to California. and to the advant-
age of the Exposition. Second, the
markets of the Orient and South
America, which have been practical
ly monopolized by English and Ger
man manufacturers, are now wide
open for American manufacturers,
and accessible to Exposition ex-
hibits. Third, the best expert opin-
ion we are able to get at present
seems to support the theory that the
sufferings of Europe, in commerce
and finance, will react largely to the
advantage of this country. and that
the effect on the Exposition atten-
dance, if any, is likely to be favor
able

and we have reason to believe that at
least two of these five, possibly all.
will proceed with their original
plans. Even if all five should with
draw, there would still remain
thirty-two among them-thC coun-
tries that have planned the most
elaborate showing.
I'VE count on your earnest and
loyal cooperation and support i'm this
decision, and believe the future CON
sideration on your part will convince
you of the propricty of our conclu-
sions.

"CHARLES c. MOORE.
president of Exposition"
1t is, therefore, a settled fact that
the Exposition will be held, and held
on time.

Next Move is Germany's.

Next Move is Germany's.
If Germany is sincere in her desire
for peace IL is stated that now she has
the opportunity to demonstrate it. 1t
is for her to say whether she will meet
the allies in the hall of diplomacy
rather than on the battlefield. \ pro-
posaI for such a conference has not
been made and will not be made for
some time. There is a great deal OF
preliminary maneuvering to be done
and every suggestion advanced will
contain the danger of complete fail
ure.
That the negotiations. which, il
must not be forgotten, continue on a
purely informal basis, will get very
far is a matter of grave doubt. II de
ponds wholly. as already stated, on
what Germany is willing TO do. 1t is
apparent the German ambassador
made his informal representation
through the medium of Mr.. Straus.
realizing that it would benefit and not
hurt his country. II would put the
British government in the position of
proposing peace. although victorious.
and It would embarrass the allies.
which could not afford to stop the war
because of the blows inflicted upon
their prestige.
Belgium a Stumbling Block.
The diplomatic reply of Sir Edward
Grey. however. shows that Britain is
for peace just as much as Germany is.
but the terms intimated are not likely
to appeal to the authorities in Berlin.
Whether they would be willing to con-
fess they had wronged Belgium by re-
paying that country for the sacrifices
il has made is doubtful. II is perhaps
possible that they might be willing TO
offer some compensation. but that il
would be adequate TO the Belgium gov
eminent under the circumstances is a
serious question

tain from the president and Secretary
Bryan anything in relation to the

be content with a peace which will be
merely a truce: that as far as posi-
BILE she proposes TO end war through
, the conflict in progress.
II shows finally that Great Britain is
determined to stand by Belgium and
TO insist that Germany compensate
that little nation for the terrible losses
in life and property which she incur
red in the defense of her neutrality.
France and Russia Agree.
The reply OF Sir Edward Grey I'M
doubtedly was made after consulta-
ton with France and Russia Such
| consultation was imposed upon the
/ British government by terms of agree
ment signed in London on last Satur-
day. Among other things that instru-
ment declares that when terms of
peace come to be discussed mo one OF
the allies will demand conditions of
peace without the previous agreement
OF the other allies"
II is a natural assumption that
among the many questions" in the
mind of the British foreign minister
the complete withdrawal of German
troops from France looms large.
The French reply to the informal
German representation has not been
received as yet. Unquestionably IL
will be of the same general tenor as
that OF Great Britain. This likewise

Fifty Bridges Washed Away.-Late
reports indicate that the number of
bridges and culverts in Scott county

age was the heaviest in the northern
part of the county. The farmers say
the storm was the worst of its kind
since 1892. At one point Mud creek,
just west of Plain View, covered the
road to depth of four feet, obscuring
the fences. In another section, be-
tween Big Rock and Dixon, water cut
