seemed altogether adequate to meet the facts upon a logical basis of agree ment herewith
 Not only are the majority of the plans somewhat illogical in the face of the fact that the proposition of ex- pediency will probably be the great determining factor but, almost without exception, they are based solely on the assumption that the allies will ulti- mately emerge triumphant from the mighty struggle and therefore in a position to dictate what terms they will. While it may be true that the allies intend to desist not until Ger many is crushed or they themselves are conquered it may be not indiscret- ly suggested that the final triumph of the allies seems at present a possi bility as remote as at the beginning of the war nearly year ago. In fact Germany seems no nearer being whip ped at present than on that memorable August uuy when neF 1dTSpTedulIS legions commenced their march on the French capital It is even suggested that as far as may be judged from out ward aspects the German nation is more powerful today and has a more commanding grasp on the situation than at any previous time during the war period. All of which leads to the suggestion that in addition to being exceedingly premature the plans of the peace experts which demand the over throw of the Germans as the primary basis of calculation are also long way from the probable course of events.
 While 1t is quite within the bounds of possibility that the entire map of Europe may be remolded somewhat in accordance with the ideas of the knowing ones. it is far more probable that there will be little change unless both Germany and the allies intend to exceed the limitations set down as the ultimate of their demands at the be- ginning.

Now that the highbrows are busy devising the means by which peace is to be restored to the war distracted nations of Europe. it is interesting to note the varying and multitudinous terms suggested as a reasonable basis for bringing about the wonted tram
 quillity and to insure its permanance. Although the governments of both France and Britain have announced long ago, and in almost identical terms, the minimum terms upon which peace will be concluded in the event of vic- tory, the self delegated peace arbitrators are proceeding with care less disregard of all that has been said hy the Prime Ministers of both of the western allies. to remake the map of Europe from every conceivable view

WOMEN MUST PAY
 HUSBAND AL|M0NY

LOS ANGELES.-Th state court has ordered Mrs. Harry Kraus, 60 years old, to pay her husband, who is only 39, $40 month alimony until the suit brought by the aged woman for a divorce from her husband is settled. The attorneys for the husband insisted that as the woman had all the money and had supported her husband since her marriage and it was under those conditions that he agreed to marry her. that she should pay the alimony until the case is settled. The court decided that the conditions existing prior to the application for divorce should be continued until the case is settled, as would have been his decision had the woman been supported by the husband The decision caused much comment in the city as it is the first time in this county that woman has been forced to pay alimony to her husband

Ever since the era of high explosives and steel armor plate opened there has been a constant warfare between the makers of arms and of armor. When ever an armor has been devised. irn- pregnable against existing guns, the gunmakers have promptly produced still stronger gun, able to penetrate the newer armor.
 The struggle has been like the ages old struggle between the defenses of society against thieves and the acti- witty and ingenuity of the thieves in breaking down or evading the defenses of society
 On the western border of the present war a new development of the old struggle Is now being seen. It is but Ia brief period since the Germans com menced the use of asphyxiating gases In attacks upon the trenches of the allies. but already the defenses are being set up The first defense was the use of "respirators" by the troops attacked, through which they escaped the worst consequences of the poison ous gas. French chemists have come to the front with an additional defense
 When the chloride fumes of the Germans are seen drifting down be- fore the winds upon French trenches the French spray air with ammonia. This combines with asphyxiating gas and turns it into an innocuous am monium bromide. Of course, there there will be other deadly gases used against which counter sprays will be

JEWISH HOLIDAY
WILL BEGIN SOON
FEAST OF HANkkAH COMMENCES
THURSDAY AND LASTS FOR
EIGHT DAYS.

tOttumwa Jewish people under the
direction of Rabbi D. Marquis will
keep the festival OF Hanukkah, which
beg = On Thursday December 2, and
co11ns for eight days. 1t was es-
brates the victories of the Maccabees
over the Syrians. Antiochus, king of
Syria, in the second century before
the common era, aspired to dominate
the countries of the east. He pursued
the policy OF suppressing all national
distinctions and Of foisting upon his
subjects, in the various countries
which had come under his control, the
religion and civilization of Syria. This,
though Greek in origin. was debased
In spirit and practice. The Jews,
proud of their traditions and devoted
to their pieties and moraities, resent
ed the intrusion and the violence of
the Syrian conquerors, who were res
pecters neither OF the conscience nor
Of the lives OF the Jews. Under the
leadership of Judas Maccabeus, they
made good their loyalty to their faith
and homes and met the Syrians on the
battlefield Their defense was valiant
and successful. despite the fact that
they were few and grappled with a
powerful enemy. After signal victor
les, they achieved their emancipation.
and re-afhrmed the pious practices Of
their fathers and, true to the spirit of
Judaism, they proceeded at once to
the rehabilitation of their temples
IA legend says that, at the re-dedi-
cation OF the temple. a cruise of oil
filed every lamp so that the great
rdifice was Respondent with light. In
Allusion to this, Jews signalize the
festival by lights in their homes, in
creasing them progressively every
evening OF the festival week, culmin-
ating with eight lights on the eighth
It is the symbolic expression of the
truth that self-respect. moral stamina
and loyalty spread and enthuse every
body. Each can be an example and
influence for the manly faith.
This revolution brought about also
the establishment of the dynasty OF
the Maccabees whose achievements
during the course of more than cen
fury were epoch making in the his
tory Of the Jews
The Hannkkah festival is one of the
favorites in the Jewish calendar. Be
sides its high significance for men and
women, it is also children's holiday
and the religious schools celebrate it
with elaborate festivities and great
heartiness. In the homes, songs ac-
company the kindling Of the lights and
the ritual of the synagogue Is enhanced |
by the recital of selected psalms The |,
social amenities of the week are happy !
and cheerful, and, in accordance with
the genial spirit of the festival. com
prise entertainment and benevolences !

GIVEN SOME FISH
STATION NEAR
MI scATINE is GOING TO
SOLICIT THEIR AID.

Muscatine Dec 1.-The first sue
|cessful raising of buffalo fish in ponds
has been accomplished by the expert
mental fish station at FairpOrt. The
reports were made known and be.
cause OF the success Of the undertake.
ing the officials announce that any
farmers in this vicinity who have good
ponds Of clear water may obtain a
supply of fish for next year if they
so desire and will report the results
to the officers.
The experiment just concluded was
begun in the spring when million
and a half fry and fingerlings were
Matched from eggs at the station. OF
these large part were put into the
river and small portion were placed
in one of the ponds for experimental
work
The pond has just been drained and
it was found that while the loss was
considerable ut always isl that there
were $4,000 pounds of Buffalo in the
pond this fall. These fish range in
size from an inch and half to six
and one-half inches long.
From this it is readily seen that
the farmer fortunate enough to have
good pond on his ground can de-
velop a new source of revenue and
enjoyment for himself as the officers
will gladly furnish the necessary fish
ranging in size from fry to fingerllngs.

TO INVESTIGATE
TRADE CONDITIONS
J.. NJ. WEIDENFELLER SELECTED
BY AD CLUBS TO STUDY
STATE OF BUSINESS.

Ottumwa has been selected by the
Educational Research Committee OF
the Associated Advertising Clubs OF
the World as one of the leading mar.
keting centers of America in which 1t
will make thorough investigation OF
exact conditions of business and pros
poets for the year 1916.
Word was received this morning by
4. N. Weidenfeller of the Commercial
association, that he has been appoint
ed to represent this city and gather
the required information. On Dec. 3,
as soon as the business men nave
closed their books for the month OF
November, investigators in all the
leading cities of the United States and
Canada will call upon representative
merchants in the leading retail lines
and ask short list of question which
the committee finds to be barometer
Of business. The investigation will
consume four days.
This is the second investigation of
the kind. A year ago when all busi-
ness men seemed to be confused as to
the effect the European war would
have on conditions in this country the
+ ASEuClcL0u AuNcl Mus VI sii0
World with representative organiza-
lions in different cities came forward
with the assertion that the only true
test of the exact business conditions
/ Is cons umer demand. and to prove
this point conducted an investigation
among the leading retail stores which
showed that despite many alarming
reports the average condition of Amer
lean business showed decrease for
the month of November, 1914, over
November, 1918, of only 23 per cent
The completed report containing
many maps and charts and compiled
within - days, was delivered to Presi.
dent Wilson. Premier Borden of Can.
ada and other government officials as
we'll as many of the leading business
men Of the country, and their high
commentator of the investigation is
what has lead to repetition of the
plan this year.
Those In charge of the work say that |
as the committee is now in possession
of such vital facts for comparison, |
and as the number of merchants inter
viewed will be greatly increased, the
report for this year should be even
more valuable than its predecessor.
