Last S. tptember Congress was
struggling with another River

called for expenditures immed

publicity which was given it

STERN of public indignation that
its sponsass finally capitulated

the publicly which was given its
various items aroused such a
storm of public indignation that
its SPONSORS finally capitulated
and accepted $50. coo. Geo to be
expcHded under the supervision
Of the army engineers. Before
this result could be achieved, a
number o. senator's were forced
TO taik against time for several
DAYS. When it become apparent
that they could not be exhausted
the Surrender Was arranged.

tion to be due to low wages, or, stated

Declaring that the extent and depth
of industrial unrest can hardly be
exaggerated, Chairman Walsh of the
Industrial Relations Commission today
announced this finding in a report
which was concurred in by Commits
sioners John b. Lennon, James 0DGa-
nell and Austin b. Garretson. Walsh
pointed out the concentration of
wealth in the hands of few, charged
oppression and violence by employers
and the turning of courts, legislatures
and governors to defeat justice. The
unrest described was declared to be

written for the United Press)
New York, Aug. 28.-Premier vi
vani of France and Sir Edward Grey,
British foreign minister, have an
swered in entirely different moods the
tentative peace suggestions made by
Germany.
Vivani's reply is vague reference
to Frances determination to fight un
til Belgium has been freed and AL
sace-Lorraine has been reconquered
Grey goes further than this patriotic
generality. With high craftsmanship
he discusses the German demand for
the freedom of the seas and admits
that it is a fit subject for diplomatic
negotiations. This is the biggest step
toward securing peace England has
taken
Grey links the demand regarding the
freedom of the seas with a counter
demand regarding a limitation of ar
mament. Germany must abandon any
effort to collect indemnity from the
Allies, and must not impose her will
on the world-whch means, in all
probability, that peace terms cannot
be dictated by Germany, but must be
made in a general agreement.
While it was not reiterated by Grey,
England will require the evacuation
of Belgium as part of the price of
peace; but the future status of AL
SAGE Lorraine must be secondary
matter for Britain. If France cannot
recover the lost provinces through her
own efforts, England scarcely is JUS
titled in killing off her own male
population to make territorial gift
to the French.
Premier Vivani's answer, as it
touches on Alsace- Lorraine, is not, in
all probability, arousing much inter
est at Berlin. His speech was deliv-
cred to the French deputies rather
than toward the German foreign of
flee. Grey's answer is reply to the
address made by the German chancel-
lor.
Unquestionably it can be said that
the first informal peace negotiations
are under way. Instead of being con
Quoted through Intermediates, they
are taking the form of public state
ment by the ministry. Each is eau
tiously sounding the other. An ar
mistice may be revealed as suddenly
as the war clouds gathered last sum
mer.

RITTER WARNS

CHOLERA DANGER

K. w Ritter, county livestock in
spector, was in FL Centre today, hav-
ing just returned from Westmoreland.
where an epidemic of cholera has
broken out among the hogs in that
section. Mr.. Ritter says the epidemic
is bad one and farmers all over
the valley should use every preventa-
tive on their stock to prevent the dis
ease from becoming general. He vac
einated over 1000 hogs last week and
will treat a like number next week.
Mr.. Ritter states that if the farm
ers use good serum and take the
necessary precautions the disease will
entirely disappear from the valley.
The serum he uses carries govern
ment license and has been tested un-
der the drug act of the United States.
Mr.. Ritter asserts that if the serum
is used while fresh it is more effica-
cious.
If the disease breaks out in any part
of the valley Mr.. Ritter will vaccinate
the hogs without charge and if the
farmers will cooperate with him the
disease can be eradicated, he as

A trip half way across the continent

hcitude of the husband and father for

with a spirit in these dissatisfied mil
lions that lies deeper and springs from
nobler impulses than physical need
and human selfishness. Among these
millions and their leaders we have en-
countered a spirit, religious in fevor,
and willingness to sacrifice for a cause
held sacred. We earnestly submit
that only in the light of this spirit
can the aggressive propaganda of the
ldiscOntented be understood and judged.
"The extent and depth of industrial
unrest can hardly be exaggerated.
State and national conventions of la
Dor organizations numbering many
thousands cheered the names of lead
ers imprisoned for participation in a
campaign of violence conducted as one
| hase of the conflict with organized
employers. Thirty thousand workers
in single strike followed the lead
ership of a man who denounced the
government and called for relentless
warfare on organized society. En-
/ ployels from coast to coast have Gre
ated and maintained small private ar
mics of armed men and used these
forces to intlmdate and suppress

maintained to discover and forestal

state troops in strikes has bred bit

line of the nations defense. Courts,
/ legislators and governors have been
Irighttully accused of serving employ

ter charges come from the employers
and their agents, with almost negli-
gible exception, it is the wage earners
who believe and assert and prove that
the very institutions of their country
have been perverted by the powers of
the employer. Prison records for la
Dor leaders have become badges of
honor in the eyes of their people. and
great mass meetings throughout the
nation cheer denunciations of the

instructions had been sent to the po-
lice official at Webb City instructlng
him to deliver the fugitive to the sher-
iff of Carthage county.
Believing that the difficulty had
been settled, Sheriff Applestill sent
Deputy Sheriff E. E. Cummings to
Webb City to get the prisoner and re-
turn him here for trial.
Deputy Sheriff Cummings arrived
there last night and found that the
prisoner had been released and had
disappeared leaving no trace of his
whereabouts.
Sheriff Applestill has issued in
structions for Deputy Sheriff Cum
mings to return at once unless he
succeeds in finding some clue that
will lead up to Byrd's apprehension.

Byrd because We did not respond with
