London.-WiId reports that both
Germany and Holland were quietly
massing troops along Dutch-Belgian
frontier, coupled with rumors that
Germany was about to invade Hol-
land, reached London today from
English sources at The Hague, Am
sterdam and other Dutch cities.
London papers laid great stress
upon these reports. In neutral quar-
tiers it was said that while public
opinion in The Netherlands undoubt-
eddy is concerned over reported Ger
man attacks on Dutch shipping, no
situation exists to warrant open
break. Holland is almost equally in
censed over restrictions laid by the
British blockade of Germany.

Would Also Apply Here

The following statement Of con-
ditlons and suggestions for remedy
are taken from the Stafford Courier.
They would apply we'll in Liberal at
this time
1.-THE town Is full of the advance
guard of harvest hands these daysand
will be until the great work COM
mences. A large part OF this advance
army is composed of professional
buns and crooks and the citizens
should be on the alert to see that
their property is not molested by, the
crooks who always appear at this
time among the transients. The pro-
fessional can usually be "spotted"
by his tone and his manner when he
appears and asks for g hand-out;
but the acid test which separates the
bum from the man really looking for
job is to require that some work be
done In return, for faVors extended.
Unfortunately for the men who are
In earnest Unlocking for harvest work,
the big daily papers nearly always
herald the harvest season premature
ly, and many men from distance
come In here several weeks ahead OF
time 1t would be a mighty good
thing II every citizen would make 1t
a point to investigate appeals f)r
assistance when they come and try o
determine the wort Illness of the case,
and lend any assistance possible to
the men who seem to be sincere in
their desire for employment and
make it possible for them to re-
main until they are needed. The
sort of treatment which should be
accorded the bum who gets fresh
when he appears at the back door and
refuses to work when work is offered,
Is to be taken TO the city limits,
pointed with his face in the opposite
direction from town and told to fol-
low his nose until he gets too far to
think of coming back. Perhaps a
better way would be to arrest him as
vagrant and put him to work on
the streets few days. There is nc
good reason why any town should
submit to be imposed on by this class
of cattle, and any town can easily
gain reputation which will keep
most of them from showing up at all.
Putting them to work is the easiest
way to get rid OF them"

really couldn't keep house without it.
Whenever l feel bad, l take small
dose, and feel better right away.
7 advise everybody who suffers
from liver or stomach trouble to use
Black Draught Liver Medicine"
For three-quarters Of century
(75 years), Thedford's Black-Draught
has been regulating irregularities Of
the liver, stomach and bowels, and has
long been recognized as the standard
remedy. 1t is a fixture in thousands
of homes as the main stay Of the fam
lily medicine chest.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-E. X, Sims, a Washington State Repre- sentative in the state legislature who has been here for the last few days said that he had come to the capital to add his voice to others in urging upon congress the necs- sity of remedical laws for Alaska.
 MT. Sims said that he would con fer with the department of fish cries in regard to the proposed leg islation. As it is now Mir. Sims said the fishing laws of Alaska make no provision for the location of traps and the acquiring of prop erty rights by cannarymen. The halibut need attention and many other things that should be attend ed to now before the whole of the fishing industry is destroyed. De- lagte wickersham will be appealed to in the matter.

THEY MADE No
 PEACE PROPOSAL
ALTHOUGH CHANCELLOR SAYS WILL DISCUSS MATTERS
 TO THAT EFFECT
PUTS IT UP TO ALLIES
Terms Must be Suitable and Must Not Impair the Dignity of
 Austria Germany

BERLIN, Dec. 9-Yesterday afternoon, Chancellor Hollkeg, de- livered a speech before the Reich stag that was listened to with un- parrellel interest. The chancellor said that the rumor that had been going the rounds for some time to the effect that Germany had of- fered to make peace, had no fon- dation in fact. That Germany had never made any peace proposals to the allies. However, if the entente powrs desire to offer terms for peace provided the terms will notin any way impair the dignity of Austro- Germany, the German gov ernment will entertain and dis .cuss such proposals.
 At the termination of his speech, the Chancellor was greatly ap- plauded by nearly every member of the Reichstag and spectators.

GREECE MUST

GERMANS WILL FORGE HER TO SAY WHAT STAND SHE
 TAKES IN PRESENT WAR

LONDON, Dec. 9-A report from Athens says that the Austro-Ger- man forces are already on Creek frontiers with the object in view of forcing her to declare her stand. 1t is not believed here that Greece can put off any longer her decision as to what side she wants to sup port.
 Followers of hostilities are a. greed that the chances are much in favor of Germany as the allies have thus far failed to show the strength that is required to hold the Germans back, and so long as Greece wishes to remain neutral, she will have to join the Teutons as they are practically in control of tn Balkan Seates.

BACHELORS AND MAIDS
 PAY GERMAN WAR TAX

BERLIN, Dec. 9-Not long ago the town of Oschartz put in force law taxing the bachelors and maids over thirty years of age. Since then, many other towns have followed the example, and now the unmarried men and women are made to contribute their share for the support of the families of the soldiers at the front. It is called war tax. In most cases the tax Is quite high. A a rule it amounts to five per cent. for incomes of S36O to S4S0. From bachelors and spin sters having an income of S4S0 to $500, the tax amounts to 15 per cent. So far not single objection has been raised and it is thought that it will become permanent after the war.

SWISS AUTHORS WOULD
 FREE GERMAN WRITER

BERNIE, Dec. 9-The Society of Swiss Authors and other prominent men have started an agitation to free the noted German poet, Max Dauthendey, who has been held captive on the island of Java since the beginning of the war.
 The poet, who is 50 years old, was on a trip around the world when he received the news that Englnd had declared war against Germany. He could not leave the island, where he is under Dutch pro lection, because the English gov ernment refused to grant him safe conduct. His health has been shat tered by the tropical climate and it is feared that he will not live much longer if he is not permitted to leave the island.
 The Swiss authors have petition ed the neutral governments to come to the rescue of the slowly dying man and it is hoped that he will be allowed to go to the United States, if the British authorities still object to his return to Ger many. Ffl
