ALLIES WANT NO PEACE
THEY CANNOT DICTATE
Statement Given Out Through the United Press Yesterday
ArOuses Ire Of British Statesmen and Newspapers
Proposals Of German Chancellor Are Branded As Most
Impuden and His Suggestions In All Respects Absurd
by Leading Editorial Writers

Making peace Wertures is hopeless
task for government which has prov
ed to the world that 1t Is pledged word
is thing Of n0ught. "
The Times, in column editorial on
tho same theme, remarkng that the
kaiser did not comply with the request
for u message to United Press papers,
said
"Wo sympatnize with the United
Press and also with the kaiser over the
inevitable failure of this dashing of.
fort at a splendid journalistic scoop.
We have not the least doubt that his
maiesty's regret at his inability to
make personal proclamation to 700
American newspapers was severe, All
he could do was order the chancellor
to send the message, to the disappoint-
ment, we are afraid, of the United
Press and the utter destruction of
contemplated scoop.
| The Daily News today said;
| "To tell America tnat Germany is
! fighting for Il guarantee Of freedom of
| the oceans for free worldwide com.
morcc is masterpiece of impudence." "
The afternoon newspaper in their
! NulHlltHb lOuN lut UHuHlmOuS NlcW luhJ
Chancellor Won Bethmann Holweg had
betrayed that Germany's principal aim
is to wrest control uf the seas from
England
They devoted their leading editor
ials to the chancelor's message to the
United Press and like the morning pa,
pers resented the statement that Ger
many is fighting for freedom Of the
seas. They asserted that tho allies, not
Germany, will dictate terms Of peace.
The Pail Mall Gazette said this aft
ernOon: "The central thought in Beth
mann.lollweg's message is that Great
Britain alone is Gormany's enemy and
that no stone must be left unturned to
convince neutrals that their interest is
bound up with Germany g. But who
will be predispOsed for peace by this
naive exposition Of the German aims !
All nations know that British sea power
is guarantee Of freedom and not en-.
slavement Of the world" "
the Westminster Gazette declared
"lt is for the American people to de.
eide whether the Trident is safer in
our hands or in the hands Of n people
whose normal policy is oxemplified by
the sinking Of tho Lusitana and sub
marine attacks upon unarmed mer'

A Terrible Experience.

A tragedy of the mountains
J was narrowly averted this week.
1t seems that last Friday Barna
Serevano and wife, who have a
homestead over in Cement creek
section, but have been living in
Marble the past winter, decided
to return to their claim and to
come to Crested Butte on foot via
Elko pass, hard trip at any time
but especially so now. They ar
rived at Crystal and left the next
morning for Gothic. Tuesday
night telephone messages of in
auiry from Marble revealed the
fact of their having started but
nothing heard of them after leav-
ing Crystal. A search party was
at once organized and started out
early yesterday morning well
equipped for any emergency. H.
Mace, Ed Roebar, George John
son and Ed Sorrell, from here and
Dan Mcdonald from Gothic, all
expert snow shoers and no man
knowing these mountain fastnes-
ses better than Dan Mcdonald.
Dan having started from Gothic
had an eight mile start over the
party from here. Our men kept
I'D the hard trip until the top of
Elko pass was reached, searching
all the way for some trace, and
were met at the top by Dan Nc
Donald returning, with the good
news that the couple were all
right and had been taken back to
Marble by the rescue party that
had started out that morning. 1T
seems that the couple, after the
grilling hard climb up through
the canon were so weary they de-
cided to remain over night and
lilduc tiiCiiiSSlNSo dso VI ssiDAS
as they could in a deserted cabin
in the old camp Of Elko. Sunday
was stormy and they feared to
venture out. and did not do so
until yesterday morning. Why
did not on Monday or Tuesday we
have not learned, but they realized
they must leave there and being
so discouraged they concluded to
get back to Crystal, the nearest
point of habitation. When found
they were very weak from
lack of food but the rescue party
had every thing for taking them
down the canon so they doubtless
reached Crystal in safety. But
it is not likely they will attempt
such a trip as that again without
snowshoes and no provisions save
enough for lunch or two.
