RUMORS OF PEACE
NOT FROM BRITAIN
London Believes Berlin Seeks
Terms-Spain Denies Bue-
low Is Going There.
tBy Cable to The Tnbuns.I

London, Nov. 1.-The Tribune CORE
spondent has the best authority for
stating that the present peace rumors,
like their predecessors, do not emanate
directly or indirectly from the British
government. A high authority told The
Tribune correspondent to-day:
Germany is sending out these bal
looms for one of two PURPOSES: either
she doesn't want peace and is flying
kites in the hope of dIscrediting Great
Britain through the latter's refusal to
consider them, or she wants peace. In
the latter instance we wouldn't pay the
slightest regard to her wish. Ny own
view is that Germany wants peace. She
realizes that she has now reached the
elimination of her successes and would
like TO sell on the top of the market
But we prefer to be bears.
"The most impartial observers will
readily admit that Germany several
months ago reached her maximum
strength and henceforth can only go
downhill, especially as she is now
enormously extending her line. But we
are only now coming to our strength.
Ii is only when we get good many
miles nearer Beerlin that we VIII be
ready to listen TO peace talk. AT the
present moment our attention Ia con-
centrated on the really important phase
of the war which now is about TO begin.
at may be that Germany's peace talk
will be renewed even more insistentiy
at a no distant period. Meanwhile,
anyone interested might advantageous
" read again Asquith's famous Guild
hall declaration regarding our peace
terms"
Madrid, Nov. Premier Dato said
to-day that he had no official intorma-
ton concerning the report that Prince
Won Buelow, ex-German Chancellor,
would come to Madrid to present to
King Alfonso an outline OF conditions
on which Germany might be wiling 10
consider peace negotiations.
"The neutral attitude OF Spain pre-.
vents all discussion of the question OF
peace terms" said the Premier, VINO
added that, in his opinion, attempts 10
| initiate peace negotiations at present
would not be likely to succeed.
In spite of Official denials OF pos
sible steps in the direction OF peace, the
rumor persists in certain quarters here
that overtures already have been made
nv the Austrian and German govern
ments with the view of opening peace
negotiations.

to critical points, and so stopped our
advance, after it had practically passed
through the material obstacles. We
won very considerable success, but
behind it there are evidently not few

of the army must work hard to solve

Minot has started world move
ment for Peace Palace. Practically
every business and professional man
and nearly every other citizen is back
of the movement. What it will
amount to depends entirely on how it
is received If it receives the support
of every man, woman and child in
Minot, that is a long step towards its
success. If Ward county gets behind
the proposition to man, that is
another long stride in the right di-
rection. 1t will then remain for North
Dakota as whole to fall into line.
Other states are expected to follow.
From theoretical standpoint, it can
not help but succeed. 1t remains to
be worked out along practical lines.
Worlds peace may be some distance
away, but move Of this nature is
worthy of the support of everyone.

The German reply to President
Wilson has been received and it is
not entirely satisfactory to our gov
eminent. The Imperial government
assures the United States that the
lives of Americans will be safeguarded
so long as they are travelling on neut-
raj vessels that do not carry contra
band of war. Germany urges Amer
lea to furnish her data of such sailings
so that those in charge of submarines
can be warned to use care. Germany
also wants the United States to label
all such boats clearly. 1t is evident
that Germany does not want the en-
nifty of this country. Germany does
not explain the Lusitania incident sat
isfactorily, and while the note is
somewhat disappointing to President
Wilson and his cabinet, it is hoped
that this government so can construe
it that there will be no need for sew
ering diplomatic relations. In case
such relations were severed, it would
bnly be question of short time
when Germany would destroy Amer
lean property and lives, then war
would be almost certain. Nobody in
this country wants war. President
Wilson is doing what he can to keep
away from it. While the situation
is most critical. there ought to be
some solution so that this country will
not become involved in war,

Ignite RATE CASE POSTPONED

Bismarck, N. D., July 9.-An-
nouncement made by the railroad and
warehouse commission was to the eff
feet that the famous Ignite coal rate
hearing, scheduled to be held in Bis
marck, has been postponed until
August 3.
The commission ordered a standard
station to be constructed by the Great
Northern Railway company at Epping
in Williams county. The commission
ers also decided to make an investi-
cation of the application for an ele-
vator site at Strasburg. The matter
of siding for Alta, small station
in Barnes county, was also under fire.
Superintendent Bartles Of the North
ern Pacific made proposition to the
commission that the Northern Pacific
would furnish a siding at German, a
station just short distance west of
Alta. The matter was taken under
consideration.

In regard to the canker worms,
DR.. Young states that the females
are wingless and in order to lay their
eggs have to crawl the trunks Of the
trees and lay their eggs in the crew
ices Of the bark. This may be pre-
vented, says DR.. Young, by binding
the trees with gunny sacks thoroly
covered with tar, care being taken
that the tar covers the cracks in the
bark. Another method of control is
by blowing the land.
DR.. Young gives the following mix
ture when dealing with tree lice:
2 IL pounds soap, 10 gallons kero-
sene, and so gallons of water or small
err amounts in proportion. First of
all the soap should be dissolved in hot
water and then thoroly shaken up then
all the kerosene and water to make
up the required proportion.
The solution should not be too
strong with soap or kerosene, as the
trees may be injured in that event.

The proposition Of electing county
assessor to take complete charge of
the work of assessing the various
townships, is gaining favor thruout
the state and it would not be surpris-
ing should such bill be passed by
the next legislature. Just now the
Ward county commissioners are work.
ing as board of equalization. They
have found some of the assessors
turning in excellent books, but in a
number of instances there is evidence
of poor judgment or gross careless
ness. Over in Passport township, for
instance, but two residents were
assessed for household goods and the
books have been sent back for correc-
ton. The assessor is not new at the
business, but simply did not do his
work in a thoro manner. 1t costs
perhaps $4,000 a year to assess the
property in Ward county. A county
assessor with number of deputies
would cost no more, the work would
be done in uniform manner and the
county commissioners would have a
great deal less trouble on their hands.

A Minot man who owns consider
able business property, suggests that
this would be a good year to consider
doing some additional paving. Eight
blocks of paving were laid two years
ago, and while several complained be-
cause they believed that taxes would
be considerably higher, not one of
them would now part with the i'm
provement for twice what it cost. 1t
has increased the value of their prop
erty and has made Minot city worth
while. Times are good, business is
brisk here, crops could not be better,
so why not begin right now laying
plans for few miles more of paving
in 1916?

Germany does not propose that
there shall be shortage Of her baby
crop because of the war, as that gov
eminent is doing all it can to en-
courage the propagation of the human
race. Legitimate children are given
the same privileges as those born out
of wedlock. Mothers and such babies
are to participate in the pension fund
provided by the government. Ger
many is resourceful nation, and even
tho few million of her male citizens
may meet death in the present war,
the population within few years
will not have suffered great deal.

500 ROAD TAKES
OVER SHORT LINE

Minneapolis, MIMI, July 2.-The
Paramount and Veblen line, a branch
road connecting with the 500 rail-
road at Paramount, N. D., and extend
ing 81 miles to Granville, has been
taken over by the 500 from julius
Rosholt, it's builder. The announce
ment was made today at the Mime
apolis 500 offices. Rosholt, who lives
in Minneapolis, but owns land in the
rich farming territory through With
the road runs, built the line in 1913
from Paramount to Veblen and an ex-
tension from Veblen to Granville in
1914. Trains have been operated in
dependently fthe 500 since.

Commenting upon Road Dragging

Commenting upon Road Dragging,
the Minneapolis Journal said recently:
"The slogan of every town in he
northwest these days ought to be,
Drag the Roads after the rain. And
nothing will so quickly make it way
of ruts and holes and bumps as failure
to use the drag.
'"The care Of roads we have is of
almost greater Importance than the
building of new ones. Scientific
roads maintenance is a lesson that is
learned all too slowly in this country.
Europe learned it long ago and prac-
tees it with industry and success.

While we are talking about i'm
provements, what would be finer than
a gas plant for the city? 1t has been
shown that good commercial gas
can be made from the Ignite coal. We
have the fuel in great quantities close
to our city. There is nothing that is
better to cook with than gas. 1t could
also be used for heating purposes
and for lighting our homes, business
houses and streets. The city might

The census statistics secured by the
assessors of Ward county furnish
considerable food for thought. While
Minot has shown gain of over so
per cent in population in the past five
years, some of our townships actually
show a falling off. In some commu-
mites the rural population has been
decreasing A good many farmers
have moved to town. Other: have
sold to their neighbors and gone else
where. The pendulum is swinging
back the other way and the rural
population is steadily increasing.

Minot is the third city in size in
the state and at the rate this old town
is growing, there is no question but
what we can catch Grand Forks and
Fargo within a few years. While
hundreds of residences and several
business blocks and wholesale houses
have been constructed in Minot this
year, building operations have been
very quiet in Fargo and Grand Forks.
They are both mighty fine little cities,
but just watch Minot's smoke during
the coming five years.

There are many buildings for rent
in Moorhead, formerly occupied by
saloons. Fargo's sister city will miss
the $4,000 license money each year
and as no precaution had been taken
that city will have to worry along
without much money for year.
Moorhead will soon become a better
city than ever. With the absence of
saloons farmers will as a rule become
more prosperous. Laborers will save
more money. That city has two i'm
portant colleges and these institutions
ought to grow. Neither Fargo nor
Grand Forks will suffer to any extent
on account of the great drouth that
exists across the Red river.

State Made Splendid Run.

Geo. State, manager Of the Scofie!d
Implement Co., made a remarkable
run from Grand Forks to Minot in a
new REQ car which had been sold to
Roy Cassin of Lone Tree. Mr.. State
left Grand Forks at $3.50 in the morn
ing and at o'clock at night he was in
Minot, having covered the 236 miles,
never taking the car out of high speed.
He stopped the engine once, when he
arrived at Devils Lake and ate lunch.
When the car reached Minot the radi-
ator was not even hot.

PlOwed Great Northern Trees.

Andy Botz has been doing stroke
of business for the Great Northern,
blowing three burrows along each side
of the trees along the right of way be-
tween Spring Brook and Minot. There
are SIS miles of trees between these
points. A gang of sixteen Greeks
followed Andy with hoes and finished
the work. The trees are all growing
nicely. They will soon take the place
of the old snow fences.
