 France does not want Germany to tender peace" said the president. "but wants her adversary to ask for peace.
 Neither directly nor indirectly have our enemies offered us peace. But we do not want them to offer it to us; We want them to ask it of us. We do not want to submit to their conditions; we want to impose ours on them. We do not want a peace which would leave, imperial Germany with her power to recom- mence the war and keep Europe eternally menaced. We want peace which receives from restored rights serious guarantees of equilibrium and stability

SLIM CHANGE FOR
 AIR MAIL SERVICE

WASHINGTON, May 19. = Be- cause of recent war orders and or ders from the army are taxing the capacity of the aeroplane factories the post office department received only one bid for carrying the mail over seven routes in Alaska.
 Early L. Byers, of Iditarod, was the only bidder. For $49,000 he proposed to carry twice a week 1000 pounds of mail from Seward to Iditarod 380 miles distance.
 MT. Byers was unable, in the Him. ited time, to furnish the bond re- quired, as one would have to be ob- tained from Seattle. But on the guarantees of his reliability furnish ed by the Merchants and Miners Bank of Iditarod and citizens of that place, the department is dis posed to give him time to file the bond and may grant him con- tract.
 The Andermat Aeroplane Com pany, of California, and various oth- CT manufacturers have had pro- longed correspondence with the de- partment and expected, up to few days ago, to offer bids, but almost at the last moment they served ~otice that ali of their output is contracted for far in advance.
