months following the outbreak OF
war in Europe, has almost entirely
disappeared, and has given place to

careful survey Of the business slrua-

Even with the possibility Of our be-

REJECTS PEACE PROPOSALS
Emperor william Offers Terms to
Car Nicholas

petrograd, Aug. s-From absolute
" trustworthy sources the Bourse
Gazette learns that last week En-
: peror William, through the King of
Denmark, offered the Russians terms
of peace. The reply of the Gar to
the Danish monarch"s letter was the
categorical declaration that at the
present time there. could be no ques-
ton of peace negotiations.
Having failed to carfy out her or
|iginal program of crushing France in
the first few months Of the war, Ger
many has now altered her general
plan and is straining every nerve to
eliminate Russia from the number Of
her antagonists in order to- be able
to concentrate all her energies against
the allies in the west when they al
last are in a position to cause her
serious Inconvenience.
Germany had hoped by the momen-
tum of her assault on both hanks Of
the Polish salient. to cut off and ut
terly destroy the Russian army oc-
cupying it, and thus reduce Russia to
impotence.
No doubt her calculations were
largely based on the idea that the
Russians would cling desperately to
the Warsaw and Vistlla fortresses
and thus allow themselves to be
caught in trap.
Last week it must have become
clear to the Germans tnat their plot
was frustrated. Thanks to the timely
decision of the Russian chief of COM
mand Warsaw was evacuated prompt
ly and with thoroughness. The Ger
mans will find that the Polish Capt.
tai is an embarrassing luxury.
1t is quite natural that, under such
circumstances, the Kaiser should dan
gle temptations before the eyes OF
Russia. No doubt the terms he Of
fcred seemed to himself generous anG
magnanimous. However, the empha-
tic rejection of his offer is clinth-
ing proof of the steaJfastness and
constancy Of gallant Russia.
Further confirmation Of the iror
determination Of this empire to fight
to a finish is found j. . remarkable

atte by Gen. Mikhncvitch, head of

The ABERDEEN AMERICAN will Fur
nish Special Reports on Our
legislators.

With the opening of the State
Legislature, all eyes are turned to-
ward Pierre, and every taxpayer
and citizen is vitality interested
in what the legislators will be do
ing down there for the next two
months.
The next best thing to being on
the ground, and watching the SEES
sions, is to read about what is 60
ing on, both inside and out of the
big capitol building, and the Aber-
deen American is promising some-
thing very complete this year ON

on at the Capital City.
The Press is glad to say a Good
word for tie American in it's
efforts to give the northern part
of the state the prominence it de-
serves in state politics, for the
American is the only paper which
reaches this part of the state upon
the same day it is printed, and no
other can bring sucn prompt news
to the people of this part of South
Dakota.
The American is going to be
mighty interesting reading from
now on, and the people of this
community who want to keep in
close touch with state affairs will
do we'll to read it every morning.
