GERMANY READY FOR PEACE

MILAN, August 12.-It is reported here that Germany is ready to negOti- ate peace on the basis of withdrawing from Belgium. This report comes from sources which give it great weight. It does not say, however, what Germany would demand in re- turn and it is doubted that the kaiser's government would agree at this time to leave Belgium and let matters go back to the status existing at the beginning of the war and at the same time give up her colonies and Poland. That some steps are being taken in a diplomatic way to sound the different nations on the subject can hardly be doubted as rumOrs to that effect are constantly arising.

vacancies in offices filled by appoint ment of the state board of health.
 Since the word vacancy is used in this staute without words of limita- tion such as ''by resignation, removal" ]" etc, it is to be considered as cover ing any vacancy, however arising. Therefore the only question is wheth- CT the circumstances of the present case create a, vacancy.
 The word vacancy as applied to an existing office without an incum- bent is vacant. There is no basis for the distinction that it applies only to an office vacated by death, resigna- tion, or otheLsyise. An office is vacant when empty and unoccupied and not vacant when one is authorized to act in it and is so acting. Vacancy" is defined as a post or place unified; an unoccupied position.
 Therefore, I am of the opinion that if the state board of health is satis- fined that the incumbent in question is incurably insane, it will be justified in holding that a vacancy exists and making an appointment to fill the same.
 Section of. Chapter 236 of the Pub lie Acts of 1913 provide for "an ex- amining board to be known as the Connecticut state board of examinerS in optometry, consisting of five regu- lar optometrists"
