WHAT THE PEASANTS
THINK OF THE WAR

Stockholm Dec. 9.--The "Svenska
Dasbladet' prints translations of war
reports published recently by country
newspapers in the interior of Russia.
These reports explain why the Russian
peasantry firmly believes Germany
nearly crushed.
a paper in the province of Easan
reports under the date of October Is {:
Our glorious army is victoriously
continuing its advance through Ger,
many. The provinces of Eastern and
Western Prussia, Posen and Silesia
are entiely in our possession and his
majesty, the Car, has now ordered a
general attack on the last Gortresses
protecting Berlin. The English army
has taken Essen, so that the Germans
are deprived of their great gun factory
OF the Austrian army there is almost
nothing left and the government in
Vienna has asked for peace"
The "Sokol' of Alatyr, in the pro.
vince of Simbirsk. says in an editor
ial:
The war is coming TO end quicker
than anybody expected. Austria Hun.
gary is out of the fight and Turkey
also can no longer offer resistance.
Germany still fights on. but is prac.
tically defeated like its allies. because
our armies have conquered the whole
eastern part Of Prussia, while in the
west the France and English troops
crossed the Rhine several weeks ago.
The fact that the Car has called
more reserves 10 the colOrs must not
BE- misjudged. These troops are only
necessary for polio duty In the con.
quored immense German. Austrian and
Turkish territory. The armies al.
ready at the front are perfectly able
to break down the last desperate re.
sistance of the Germans.
Serbia will not need any help. The
few German and Austrian regiments
which succeeded In crossing the Dan.
ube were quickly driven from Serbian
soil. The glorious victories OF our
troops are best proved by the number
of prisoners taken by them. According
to official reports from Petrograd. our
soldiers have captured more than -four
million Germans, Austrians, HuDgar
ians and Turks in the first fourteen
months of the war"
The "Wiedmostlj' of petrowsk, in
the province OF Saratow. asserts that
Austria-Hungary has surrendered un
conditionally. that the German Emper
or fled to Sweden with his whole
family, that Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg was killed in August and that
the German Socialists after proclaim
ing republic, have opened peace ne
gotiations with the allies.

THE BOOST SPIRIT.

The following breezy item is clipped
from the Summit County Journal,
Breckenridge, Colorado.
If you spend an evening in the lobby
of the Denver hotel, you will become
coated with gold. You will be smeared
with zinc, weighted down with lead
and overwhelmed in a mass of numer-
GUS other metals.
You will smother in an avalanche of
porphyry, lime, granite and a multi
tude of formations. You will become
ineXtricably tangled in maze of veins
contracts, leads, shoots and streaks.
You will view with utter contempt
the paltry fortunes of Rockefeller,
Carnegie and the Vanderbilts. Every
where you direct your vision, you will
behold mountains out of which pro-
trude streaks Of gold, which you can
whittle down with an AK. You will be
confronted with masses of lead and
veritable slides OF zinc; you will look
upon great walls Of silver and its bris-
Ting wires will prod you from every
side.

GERMAN STAND
ON PEACE MATTERS
Chancellor HoII~eo Tells Reiehstaa
His Views on Peaee-Thought
To Voice Emperor
BY Pac. and lntl New. Service.

BERLIN, Dec. 9.-Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg made a speech to
the reichstag Irday in which he gave
his views on peace, which are sup
posed to voice the opinions OF the
kaiser himself. Us he and Hollweg
are in very close touch. He stated
in his talk that Germany would not
ask peace of the allies against Ger
many's dignity and safety, Germany
is willing to discuss them. The Ger
man nation is fully conscious of their
uushaken military successes, and will
decline to accept the responsibility
for the continuation of the war which
will fill Europe with misery. But as
long as the allies are governed by
men who are politicians who are ig-
norant of their duties or Of what their
country wants, 1t would be folly for
Germany to make peace proposals
which would not shorten but only
lengthen the war.

Vienna" emperor Francis .Ioseph)
and join the great Slavic cause. He
even went so far as to promise the
active aid of the American people for
the rebellion. Three weeks after his
return he was behind prison bars.
AT the trial the prosecutor tried TO
show that agitator had been sent ac-
ross the ocean by a pro-Russian or
ganization Of the Czechs in America,
but this was strenuously denied by
the accused. The man refused all
information in regard to himself and
only said that he had lived in Chicago,
Pittsburgh and other American cities

JURY SAYS HUBER
IS NOT GUILTY
On Third Ballot At Third Trial ver-
dict Is Reached Acquittine
Defendant

One of the most noted murder trials
ever held in Elko county came TO a
conclusion last night, when the jury
in the Jerry Huber case brought in a
verdict Of not guilty. II is under
stood that the verdict was reached on
the third ballot. The first ballot stood
ten TO two for acquittal, the second
stood eleven to one. and the third was
unanimous for acquittal.
Huber was charged with having
murdered Billy Billings at Mountain
City on August 20, 1913. At his first
trial the jury disagreed, standing six
for acquittal and six for conviction.
AZ the second trial the jury brought
in verdict of murder in the first de-
gree with recommendation for life
imprisonment. Huber spent a little
over a year in the state prison. when
the supreme court granted new
trial on the ground that in a case
Of self defense, character evidence on
the party killed should have been ad.
mitted.
The last trial occupied week and
despite the fact that the evidence was
pretty well known, many were in at
tendance every day. At each of the
trials the defense set up self.defense.
Huber was defended by Attorneys
james Dysort and Joseph Mcnamara.
Much credit is due them for the per.
sistence with which they fought for
their client. which finally resulted in
an acquittal.

trenches around Salonika, and are
mounting guns on every available hill.
Here the allies are preparing to make
their last final stand in case their

Dandruff Surely
Destroys the Hair

Girls---if you want plenty OF thick.
beautiful, glossy. silky hair, do by all
means get rid Of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash out. The only sure
way to get rid Of dandruff is to dis
solve it. then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces Of
ordinary liquid arvon: apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning. most if not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
| four more applications will completely
dissolve ahd entirely destroy every sin
5 gle sign and trace Of it.
! You will find, too. that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop. and
your hair will look and feel q hundred
times better. You can get liquid ar
Won at any drug store. It is inexpen-
sive and four ounces is all you will
need. no matter how much dandruff
you have. This simple remedy never
fails.--Adv.

The practice OF making stops on the

day by the street car company. This
change also affects the stops at Eighth
and Main streets. Motormen have
been ordered by the superintendent to
adhere to the ruling strictly and under
no circumstances to stop On the far
side Of the street. Many persons, un.
accustomed to the change, were requir-
ed to cross the street when they found
that the car stopped before it crossed.
A group of Earlham students who are
accustomed to wait for the car on the
far side Of Main street at Eighth, were
left standing in the street this morn
ing as tie car passed by.
THE only way the public can be
educated to the change is to leave
some of them standing on the corner
as the car goes by" said Superintend-
ent Gordon this morning.
