PROSPECTS OF
PEACE PLANS
President Wilson is Sound.
ing Sentiment in All
Countries i,.8
KAISER AND GERARD
American Ambassador Will Have
Talk With Emperor Before He
Takes Action on the Note

Washington June 16--While Mr..
Bryan is discussing academically the
best methods OF attaining peace,
President Wilson is working 10 ac-
hieve peace practically by the use of
every means he can command. The
President now believes that peace
full settlement Of the issue between
Germany and the United States will
tend to restore the European nations
to condition of sanity and reason
which would be conductive to nego-
tiations that would make for peace
in Europe.
The President and his advisers
it may be stated authoritatively, will
leave nothing undone that can be
done consistently with the dignity
of the United States to realize this
great object.
It was indicated to callers today
by the President that he is working
assiduousiy on all the lines on which
he could move to bring the belliger-
ents to an accommodation.
This expression of the activity of
the President was brought, it is un-
derstood by recent publication
which irtimatcd that the United
States was the only one OF the i'm
portant neutral nations which was
not actively pushing the propaganda
for peace. The President said to his
friends that on the contrary the
United States was lending encourage
n1ent to every peace nation.
Developments OF the past three
days shows extraordinary activity on
the part of the State Department and
the White House in getting informa-
ton from abroad with respect to the
temper of the belligerents as to peace
and also as to the purposes of the
neutral nations to bring about peace.
One of the mostimportant develop
ments of today which officials believe
was promoted from Washington, is
that Ambassador Gerard is to have
talk with Kaiser Wilhelm himself be
fore Germany sends her reply to
Washington. Officials do not deny
that such 4 meeting is to take place
and they all realize its overshadow-
ing Importance. In connection with
this proposed meeting comes the
statement from Berlin that Germany
was at first led to believe that the
United States would not undertake to
mediate between Germany and Eng
land on the subjects Of submarine
attacks on neutral vessels and Eng
lands refusal to let foodstuffs go
into Germany.

Ell the conclusion that the ultimate

grown faded and indistinct in his
memory came back to him as real liv-
ing things. For, coming to him faint
ly over the plain, he heard Joan S
voice.
In the starlight Joan stood, tense
and white, when from out of the pale
mists of the moon-glow he came to
her, cringing on his belly, painting and
wind-run, and with strange whining
note in his throat. And as Joan went
to him, her arms reaching out, her lips
sObbing his name over and over again.
the man stood and looked down upon
them with the wonder of a new great
er understanding in his face. He had
no fear of the wolf-dog now. And as
Joan's arms hugged Kazan's great
shaggy head up to her he heard the
whining gasping joy of the beast and
the sobbing whispering voice of the
girl and with tensely gripped hands
he faced the Sun Rock.
MY Gawd." he breathed 81 believe
its So"
AS if in response to the thought in
his mind, there came once more across
the plain Gray VOLTS mate-seeking
cry of grief and of loneliness. Swift
ly as though struck by a lash Kazan
was on his feet-oblivious of Joan's
touch. of her voice, of the presence
of the man. In another instant he was
gone, and Joan flung herself against
her husbands breast, and almost
fiercely took his face between her two
hands.
Now do you believer she cried
pantingly. Now do you believe in the
God of my world-the God | have
lived with, the God that gives souls to
the wild things, the God that-that has
brought-us all-together-Once more
-home,"
His arms closed gently about her.
Il believe, my Joan," he whispered.
And you understand-now-w what
it means, Thou shalt not kill'?"
Except that it brings us life-yes,
understand" he replied.
Her warm soft hands stroked his
face. Her blue eyes, filled with the
glory of the stars. looked up into
his.
"Kazan and she-you and land the
babyl Are you sOrry-that We came
back?" she asked.
So close he drew her against his
breast that she did not hear the words
he whispered in the soft warmth of her
hair. And after that, for many hours,
they sat in the starlight i'm front of
the cabin door. But they did not hear
again that lonely cry from the Sun
Rock Joan and her husband under
stood.
Hell visit us again tomorrow" the
man said at last Come. Joan, let
Us go to bed"
Together they entered the cabin.
And that night, side by side, Kazan
and Gray Wolf hunted again in the
moonlit plain.

NOW THE WORK BEGINS.

Tonight are ended the official three
days of registration and enrolment
for the students of the University OF
Missouri. Tomorrow begins the work
of the first semester of the regular
session of 1876.
Right now is good time to pause
a moment and pick up the scattered
threads of the student activities and
find out just what there is to be done.
First comes the matter of study.
With the gratifying increase in en-
rollment shown in the first day or two
of signing up, there comes the threat
of harder work for the faculty, less
care and attention for the individual
student-and perhaps a greater free
dom of action. The one hope for an
avoidance of such a seeming calamity
lies with the student himself He
must guard himself, look out more for
his own interests and seek in every
way to make easier the work of those
who must instruct him, to the end
that the instruction may be the more
efficient.
Next to study, right now, comes foot
ball Schultz tells the students that
the Tigers will be light this year, en-
tering the first game with an average
of 165 pounds. This looks bad.
But just the same, lack of weight
is not the greatest handicap a team
can have. The greatest trouble that
the Tigers can meet with is lack Of
support from the students. With the
students behind them, the players, no
matter how light, can go out and whip
the stuffings out of their opponents,
as was shown last year in the WON
derful all-season improvement which
eliminated in the defeat of Kansas at
Lawrence by light team-backed by
a thousand rooters. Again it is
squarely "up to" the individual.
Success in all the University's lines
of endeavor lies in the hands of the
ordinary individual student He can
make and break the University
Tomorrow he begins his work. May
he begin it we'll!
