POSSIBLE GERMAN
Terms OF PEACE
Provide Restoration of Belgian
Sovereignty Under Ger
tain Conditions.
SEPARATION OF POLAND
ALSO ONE OF PROPOSALS
Payment of Indemnity Also to Be
Demanded-Tenders to Allies
Expected Soon.

BERLIN, December 2o.-The
Wolff Bureau has circulated
among the German newspapers
an exhaustive summary of al,
article from the Neue Zuericher
Zeitung of Zurich, Switzerland,
purporting to give in considerable
detail the terms upon which, ac-
cording to the newspaper, Ger
many is ready to consider peace.
These correspond generally with
the outline of the probable peace
terms sent to the United States
in October by the correspondent
of the Associated Press.
The terms named include the restora-
tion of Belgian sovereignty under
certain conditions. no annexation of
French territory, the separation of
kingdom under German prince, the
restoration of all the German colonies,
the payment of an indemnity which
would assume the form of transfer to
Germany of Russias Indebtedness to
France, amounting to $4,000, 600. 900
francs. and the payment for term of
years of an annual contribution by
Belgium equal to the amount hitherto
spent annually on the Belgian military
establishment. A similar contribution
would be expected from Russia or
Poland. this point not being clear in
the article.
Restoration Of Belgium.
Whether the Belgian territory would
be restored entirely is not specified in
the newspaper. but it is stated that
the country would be policed-that is.
garrisoned-by Germany until the pay
ments of the contribution were ended
and that measures would be taken to
prevent Belgium from serving as an
Anglo-French outpost. either by treaty
arrangements or perhaps through
over to Germany" apparently refers
to the retention of the Meuse fort
resses.
The wolfr bureau is careful to dis
avow authoritatively that the article
is interpretable as q German peace
feeler.

WILL SOLICIT MONEY
FOR BElDING BAND

With the coming Of spring the Beld-
ing band is considering the position
il is To take in the affairs of the city
during the summer. Within a few
days the members are expecting to
meet for practice. No work has been
done for the past several weeks i'm the
way of practice and the boys are anr-
ious to resume the work.
The local band has been handled the
past three years by A. v Fleck, He
has labored persistently and has sue
ceeded in building up "A good efficient
organization. All of this work has
been with but slight help from the
citizens. The factories have given
money at different times but aside
from that all OF the money that has
been raised by the band has been
earned by the boys in playing at Labor
day celebrations and other occasions.
The chance 10 earn money comes too
seldom TO make the band self-support-
ing. More often it's services are need
ed ct times when a charge cannot be
made.
An effort will be made within n few
days to raise some money for the sup
port of the band. Bedding has a band
that is second to none, and while il has
been maintained, up to the present
time. almost wholly by the individual
members, the citizens should not ex-
pect IL TO continue in the same way.
The members are not able, nor should
they be asked, TO make such heavy
sacrifice for a cause that is of such
vital benefit to the city as a whole.
Your help will be appreciated even
If il is not large.

T. Wyckoff, of Belding in the presence
Of near relatives and friends.
Promptly at 1900 o'clock, noon, the
bridal couple took their places in the
south alcove. unattended, where the
ceremony was solemnized by the
groom's pastor, Rev w. +. Doty, of
the NJ. L. Church OF Bedding, the ring
service being used.

corated with profusion of smilax

heavily banked with green vines and
ported plants.
The bride has wide circle of
friends in Greenville and Fairplains,

Vile High School and NJ. 4. c..
The groom is well and favorably

Woman Suffrage a Success.
Wyoming has had woman suffrage
since 1862 applied to competent
authority for an expression Of opinion as
to the practical working out Of the plan.
The editor of the leading newspaper Of
the state, W. C. Deming. wrote out this
opinion: Viewed in all of its aspects,
woman suffrage is a success In Wyoming.
The women were largely responsible for
the enactment of the anti-gambling law
in Wyoming in 1911, and they have BE-
cured many restrictive measures govern
ing the saloons. They are alert in i'm
proving the conditions in charitable and
penal Institutions, and their influence is
direct and effective because they can vote.
The greatest influence of the woman vote,
L think, is in local affairs, where the char
acter and personnel Of men are involved.
If the issues are clearly drawn between
bad man and a good man there is no
question about the result the good man
wins. Women are Influenced in their in
terest in ali elections very much in the
same manner as men,. For instance, If
there is no contestant is, nothing to
stir them up-they stay at home just as
the men do If there is a real issue as
to men or politics they come out en-
maSSe "~ y
I'm Wyoming we edo not consider
woman suffrage from the standpoint Of
whether it has resulted in perfection
and purity Of politics, but largely from
the standpoint that it Is a right to
which a mother. sister. or daughter,
or female property owner, Is as much
entitled as man. standing In the
same relationship to society. and. in
deed, having a greater right than the
foreign voter or colored voter. upon
the franchise has been almost forced"
Prohibition is not a capital issue here,
yet there are both wet and dry coun-
ties. The only time a fight is made is
when the liquor interests try to lift
the lid of a dry county. Then the
women turn out at the polls and fall
on the liquor men like the Washing
ton Monument topping over.
