Dear Sir and Frater:
Your orders in respect to Easter

splendid success attended. Send us
orders in regard to Grand Encamp-

arrival to make arrangements for the

Just how much prize money will be
offered at the Encampment as we hope
to add enough to that and with the
amount which the Grand Lodge will
give to induce a large attendance of
knights and a fierce contest. Has the
Grand Commandery any decorations
If you have we would like to get them (;
if not, then cite us to place where
we may obtain them by hire or pur'

PEACE SPECTRE
WILL NOT DOWN.

Notwithstanding the recent ueS-
larations of Great Britain, France
Russia of their determination to lis
ten to no peace proposals until Ger
many is brought to their feet, as well
as the avowed purpose OF the Nal
ser and Francis Joseph to battle on
until all enemies of the Teutonlc race
are rendered hors de combat, peace
talk is growing louder.
Discussing the many messages ana
statements issued in various countries
on the first anniversary of the war;
the Osservatore Romano, Official or
gan of the Vatican, says:
"Reading these foreign messages
we are pleased to note that the IAN
guage adopted has been modified IN
tone so that in a sense it is more
nacific. or more humane. In place OF
MEMORABLE war cries and proposals
70 anihilate the enemy there begins
TO be substituted more humane ac-'
cent. Although circumscribed, we see
in this the possibility of discus
sion leading to peace. 1t Is a most
comforting sign, although very weak
as yet"
A dispatch from Berlin says:
Germany would accept reasonable
peace conditions in accordance VIII"
the even balance, progress and sane
ty of all nations says the Deutscne
Tagezeitung in discussing the recent
peace proclamation of Pope Benedict
XIV. No country would receive pro-
clamation by the heads of the Roman
Catholic Church with greater res
pect and less prejudice than Ger
many,' the newspaper continues.
The foregoing item was allowed to
PASS by the German censo: and was
sent by wireless to London and Paris

have openly announced Germanys

MANY Russian sentinels have declar-
ed within the past few days that
they saw the ghost in the dead OF

the spirit of Gen. Skobellf, clothed
in white and astride white horse.
1t is tradition in the Russian army
that. if the white spirit appears at a
critical moment defeat will be turned
into victory. It's presence invariably
