argument which determined the
sclectione of the lntcrurbap sit
over one offered by s. w. Ross, To-
Gated on the north side of the Salt

site was It's close proximity to the
tomato growing district. But the

the offer to give the company over
an acre OF ground and put In all

NEW MEN IN IOWA HOUSE
Seventy-Eight of Them Have Had

Practical Certainty that Justin

Chamber.
tFrom a STAT CorrespondentO

DIS MONIES, Dec, T.-(Special.)-
Of the los members Of the Iowa house
that will meet within two weeks, seven
ty-eight OF them have had no previous
legislative experience. This Is perhaps
the largest proportion OF entirely new
members on record. a great many OF
the members of the last legislature did
not seek recollection. others failed In the
primary; the chief reason for the large
mortality being the stogm, which was
stirred up by some special interests,
when the excellent legislation OF the
last session was being enacted. one OF
the greatest causes NJ trouble for the
old members was the passage OF the
highway law, which at first was very
unpopular because of misrepresentation
OF its purposes, but, which could net now
be repealed.
OF the members Of the house there
is an actual majority who class them
selves as farmers. Therepublicans, on
whom the burden of legislation must
fall by reason of having more than two
thirds OF the membership, are some
what poorly equipped for floor leader
ship. 1t Is almost certain that Justin

as speaker of the house He Is quiet
and conservative and has never been
very active in state politics. But the
headship of important committees Is an
other matter of great Importance the
solution of which Is not clear.
In the senate there are nearly. three
fourths Of the members. who have had
legislative experience In other sessions;
and the senate is more likely to be con-
servative ON almost very possible
question.
1t is expected that the members will
begin to arrive in Des Moines early next

SOLDIERS QUITE FRIENDLY
Frenchmen and Germans Quite
Neighborly Outside of Battle.
HAVE JOLLY TARGET SHOOTS
Trenches Are So Close Together that
Complaints Have Nice visits
Arbitrate. Division of
rabbits shot.

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
THE HAGUE, Dec. S-When a battle
is not in progress the best Of feeling ap-
pears TO exist between the French and
German soldiers. who for two months
have faced one another on the long line
between Newport and Belfort.
So close are the camps to each other
that IL is possible for the two forces to
exchange words. They indulge in good
natured contests, such as shooting at
spade targets. with no intention Of hit
ting anyone, and competition for hares
which run between the lines.
French soldier writes Of these amuse-
ments:
"A target is painted on a spade and
moved through our trench in such way
that 1t shows about two feet above the
ground. The Germans shoot at 1t. With
a stick we indicate the results of their
fire and when one hits the bulrs-eye he
is rewarded with the waving Of a French
flag.
There is another sort of target prac-
tice which is very popular. The region
around us is full of cabbage fields and
the cabbage fields are full of hares and
rabbits. These hares sometimes cross
our own private meadow. Immediately
both trenches are all aflame. Long
sounding volleys follow the poor little
beast. He takes a graceful sommersault,
throws his ears up in the air and falls
q martyr to Europe's militarism.
Time to Divide Spells.
Than comes the time to divide our
spoils. II Brer' Rabbit expires on the
German half the custom of the country
prescribes that German may leave the
trenches and get the prize. That day the
German cave jewellers eat hasenbraten.
If the animal dies on our side we dele
gate a man to fetch him and we ear
1ievre farci' But if he should die SInost
inconsiderately right on the line then
there is trouble. We both rush for our
meal while terrific fire is opened and
we run the risk of being killed by friend
as well as by enemy.
THE other day we did not know on
which side of the line a hare had died.
We looked out of our trenches and the
Germans fired The Germans peeped
around the corner and we fired. Finally
a eour+ of arbitration took the matter in
hand loud German voice called out
tobacco We thought that the pro-
posal was fair. One of our men showed
the Germans three packages of cigarettes
Then he climbed out of the trench and
walked to the dead hare. He deposited
his cigarettes and took the hare. Then
he returned. A German came and took
the tobacco. Five minutes later the Ger
mans were smoking and we were prepar-
ing our stew"
The camps frequently entertain each
other with singing. And perhaps a few
moments later the efforts of both sides
will turn to whistling bullets about one
anothers heads.

LONDON, Dec. 9.--The archbishop OF
Canterbury and DR.. Dryander. the Ger
man court chaplain, have refused to sign
an appeal addressed TO the Christian
churches urging them. among other
things. seriously to keep peace before
their eyes In order that bloodshed soon
may cease"
The appeal has been signed by many
prominent divines including Bishop Greer
of New York and Bishop futile OF 81.
Louis But. although both the Anglican
prelate and the German doctor OF divin-
ity are In entire accord with the signs
tories. as the correspondence Just pub
lished makes plain, in devoutedly honing
God may ordain that peace shah soon be
restored. each Is OF the opinion, appar-
entity. that the only peace TO be desired
is that founded on the triumphant DEM
onstration OF the righteousness OF his
countrys cause,
The archbishop writes: You may he
certain that at the first moment when II
seems to me that an opening Is pre-
scented for securing righteous and en-
during peace shall do my utmost to urge
IL, but l am clear that that moment,
greatly as we long for 1t. has not yet

be impossible for him to sign that state
