Inspired Peace Proposals

Frequent reports OF impending peace proposals., which
have all thus far been ascribed to German initiative, are
not particularly convincing and there is little evidence to
support the belief that any advances have been made by
authority OF the Imperial Government IN this direction
in view OF the fact that these peace stores nave enanaled
almost without exception from Berlin, 1t is suggested that
Germany may be sending out "feelers IN tins manner, to
test the allies and to forestall any discussion OF terms
other than those that might be considered advantageous
TO Germany.
Ii is fully realized, in Germany as we'll as throughout
the rest of the world, that it would be folly tor the allies
to discuss peace at the present time; that in the present
condition of tho. war Germany can claim to nave all the
best of the situation and that any terms acceptable to
Germany now would be impossible of acceptance by the
allies. Until the allies shall have won some decisive adj
vantage. in some one OF the fields now beng contested,
they cannot hope to conclude peace on terms that would
not involve a most costly sacrifice.
Forecasts of the outcome OF the wal. are as futile as
they were at the beginning of the conflict, but there seems
to- be no hope OF a cessation OF hostilities before next
spring. and only then il the allies shall have gained some
not liable victories and peace sentiment, rather than the eN-
hallstion Of either side, shall compel a suspension on war
fare. >E### ##l.8 9H. #

and FALL Of the Chinese Republic marks a speed record that
is likely to stand for MANI ages.

Labor After the War

People who make a business OF worrying are becon
NO greatly perturbed over the prospect OF conlPetll,,
xith cheaD European labor in this country, following u
lose of the war. So often has this labor bog1e been resu
ected and so rarely has the question been discussed
,nalvzed in a sane manner, that It's presentation from
other than as a national menace Is OF ineieS
The Financial World says:
Economists of the old school and administra-
ton officials at Washington are seriously concerned
over what they regard as the great oeluge F."
"pauper" labor that will descend on the United states
from Europe when the war shall nave ended. Eu,
rope will be so poor, the theory IS, that all
those left after the slaughter will seek to get away
and into the United States and away from the Dur
densome conditions that follow great and costly
wars. Therefore. we must look for an lnpour1ng
Of penniless labor from Europe that will, IN Its halt
starved condition. underbid our American workers
and drag wages down to a very low leve'
The administration theory at Washington IS a
little different. It is a deluge of goods from Europe
and not the actual workers that is to be feared, they
saw at Washington. That is why the officials are
trying to devise means to shut out or curtali t"-
ropean-made goods by various devices IN add1tlil
to the present tariff barriers.
We decline to share the perturbation OF either
party TO the controversy. They seem to forget
that the enormous damage done by war VIII nave
to be repaired and that perhaps tor years there
will be a scarcity of labor in Europe tor ITS own pur-
poses. It will be i'll prepared for years to spare any
workers. Probably 100000 able-bodled men Will
have been killed or rendered useless by wounds by
this war and Europe will be suffering from a worse
labor famine than the United States. Our trouDle
will. therefore, be not from the menace OF a LABOR
deluge from Europe, but demands from Our home
labor for wages on a scale such as now exists as the
result of the scarcity of labor in almost all avenues
of employment.
We are now on an artificial basis in this country
as regards labor, which fully realizes its power be-
cause of the withdrawal to Europe of thousands
of foreigners on the one hand and on the other ITS
ability to dictate wage scales at high levels because
the war business we are doing for Europe has caus-
ed an unprecedented demand here for worknen.
Labor will not quickly reconcile itself to the tact
that the present artificial basis cannot be continued
after the war and will resist all efforts to re-estab-
fish the old level of the ante belum period. At
that point will come the struggle, and 1t will be
more serious than anything the economists are now
able to conjure up over their mythical labor deluge
from Europe. In the end labor will have to recOg-
nize the actual conditions, but it will make trouble
before the question is settled.

Republic or Monarchy-- Which?

"f the liberties Of republics are to be maintained their
military resources must be adequately translated into MIL
tarv strength" That sentence in the address OF Assistant
Secretary breckenridge, of the War Department, at San
Francisco today, states the belief and deep CONVICTION OF
every advocate OF national defense in the fewest words that
have been employed for that purpose.
We are at a loss to understand the political theories Oh
mental processes of those who calmly contemplate the con
flaeration of war, hate, rivalry and jealousy IN Whlcn the
civilization of Europe is being consumed, and Wouid leSle
this country at the mercy OF monarch1ai amD1t1on.
spark that started this holocaust was the bullet o. III DIS
session whose victim CHANGED to be a member OF royalty;
The kindling fuel was jealousy and lust OF conquest. NAG
the victim been other than of royal blood, law Woulu
probably have taken its course without involving othel
lives than those of the assassin or assasslns. AT least
twelve nations, including one republic, are now ihvolveo.
We have seen how jealousy and rivalry can ina then
pretext for war when desired. We have seen IN one IN
stance forty years OF preparation and war organization.
We have seen what that organization can accomplish
when, as MI. Breckenridge puts 1t, all the nanltold re-
sources of nations are welded into one instrument and sub
ordinated to one will for the waging OF war we nave
seen a monarchy directed by the will OF one man, whose
will is law, perfect a war organization OF winch no deH-
ocracv is capable, and if this war has served no other
purpose it has suggested to the world this one great over
s~hadowing question, Can a monarchy, fostering mlntar-
ism. and a democracy, such as that of England or the re-
publics of the Western Hemisphere, long survive on TIC
same globe?'
Either the people of these republics, if they are to be
maintained, must translate" at least a part OF their mill
tarv resources into military strength" or the monarchy
must prove to the world its peaceful intentions by main
tanning a peace footing in keeping with its democrailc
%neighbors.
While willing to concede the greater and marvellous
military efficiency of the monarchy, democracy is forced
TO admit that such efficiency is not possible without ~
surrender of liberties more to be desired than the eft1-
cheney of miitarism. And militarism is not possible in a
democracy.

Solution of LOU Grade Problem

The potentialities Of the mines of Goldfield would
present a different aspect if production were to be limited
70 the comparatively free-miling ores that have been
treated here and that have already yielded nearly a hun
dred million dollars gross. Heretofore it has not been
possible to mine and treat profitably the medium and low
GRADE ores of the district that contain any appreciate
quantity Of copper, and the successful marketing OF this
product has offered some exceedingly complex problems.
Every assurance is now given, however, that processes
will be made available in the near future for the treatment
as tbece ores since exhaustive tests, conducted here and at
2 number of metallurgical laboratories and testing plants
elsewhere, have been successful to a degree that would
instifv the immediate installation of a plant for the treat
,,ent Of a product of what is now accepted as milling
GRADE. 1t is estimated by competent authorities that
The tonnage of this character. now available in the mines
- Co1dfie1d. is OF vast proportions and that large reduc-
zion nlants probably using oil flotation, will be occupied
in treating this ore for many years to come.

New Administration Building Being

and is intended to meet the needs of
the school for many years to come. In
