Say Germany IN Is Ready
to Hear Mediation Talk
(By ellison Gardner)

Washington, Nov. 9.-From sources
unusually reliable / have it that Pres
ident Wilson has been approached by
the German ambassador on the sub
ject Of mediation and a discussion Of
terms of peace. These efforts, 1 under
stand, have produced no definite re-
suits. The indications are that peace
suggestions will have to come from
the allies before President Wilson
will move. fat. sss5s,l
Since Count Won Bernstorn returned
to Washington, he has called several
times on Secretary Lansing and an in
formal interchange has taken place
covering numerous subjects. 1t is un-
derstood that the German Ambassa.
dor has pointed out, among other
things, the change which has taken
place in the German submarine cam
paign and an explanation has been
volunteered to the effect that this
change is the result of an effort by
the German government to avoid fur
ther causes of offense to the United
States and to keep the good will of
our country. And further that this
good will is to be drawn upon In the
Immediate future in the way Of re.
quest for the good offices of the Am
erican government as an intermediary
to peace. s..o .. "l'f +
That Germany would like to discuss
terms of peace is indicated in other

Montavile Flowers Was Good

A large audience greeted Montaville
Flowers in the Armory Tuesday eve
ming, when he gave his masterful ad-
dress on Rebuilding the Temple" He
is an interesting speaker, not only be-
cause of the message he brings but
because of his clear concise way of
presenting facts. No vain repetitions,
no fowery language that is beyond the
grasp of the ordinary mind, but every
word is we'll chosen and forcefully
spoken, yet expressed in simple man
ner. He dealt with the present con-
flict in Europe, its cause and effect,
the mixing Of the races, and the ef-
feet these things will have on the fu-
ture of the world. It was splendid
address and thoroughly enjoyed by all
fortunate enough to hear It.

to give. Winter is coming-how much
are you going to give on Saturday?

La Crosse, Wis, Nov. S.-The re-
ported prosperity may be coming to
the wealthy and well.to-do classes in
this country. There's nothing partic.
ularly rosy about the future to the
workers, however.
Prosperity will give them work. Of
course, but the terribly high prices
which have descended upon the coun.
try. especially during the last three
years, will take all they earn and it
will be scanty living, at that. .,..

it for the worker.

And they all stood still to listen, but
only the cold, cold wind was heard in
the stone tower; and the people shook
their heads, some of them saying as
they had done before, that they really
never believed the story of the chimes,
anyway.
The procession was over, and the
gifts were all on the altar, the choir
had begun the closing hymn.
Suddenly the organist stopped play
ing, and every one looked at the min
lister, who was standing in his place
holding up his hand for silence. Not
a sound could be heard from anyone
in the church. While all the people
strained their ears TO listen, there
came softly but distinctly swinging
through the air the sound of the bells
in the tower So far away and yet
so clear seemed the music, 80 much
sweeter were the notes than had been
heard before, that the people in the
church sat for a moment as still as
though something held each of them
by the shoulders. Then they all stood
up together and stared straight at the
altar TO see what great gift had awak-
ened the long silent bells.
But all that the nearest of them
saw was the childish figure OF Little
Brother, who had crept softly down
the aisle when no one was looking
and had laid Pedro's little piece Of all
yer on the altar.
