|cIvIc LEAGUE ENTERTAINMENT.

There are number of ladies in OrOvile
who take no part nor pleasure in dancing
and hence have few opportunities to at
tend and enjoy public gatherings, for, as
a rule, dancing is the chief feature of
about every social function of a public
nature held in Orovlle. The ladies of the
Civic League have decided to give those
ladies who, by their own voltion, are thus
barred out of the usual gatherings, a good
time and an opportunity to enjoy them
selves. An entertainment has been ar
ranged to take place in the library build
ing Saturday afternoon, April 49, espec-
tally for this purpose. and that it will be
vance. There will be an admittance charge

CAN DISCOVER NO
 BASIS FOR PEACE
Which Country Will Make
 the Concessions?
THIS IS BIG PROBLEM
One Authority Thinks That Only Real Result of War Will Be the Creation of New Kingdom of Poland-How
 Will Russians Be Appeased?

Stockholm, June 23.- .-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-In Stockholm, where wayfarers cf all nations meet and mingle on neutral ground, but few hours journey from belligerent lands, it Is possible to learn much that may be credited as to the views of governments and people concerning the possibilities and the problems of peace. This is par ticularly' true with regard to the Germans and Russians, for at this time the na- tionals of these countries make up by far the larger part of the foreign population in Scandinavia. Officials and travellers from France and England are also con- stantly passing through Stockholm on their way to Petrograd, leaving behind their entirely informal and unofficial ideas as to what the future holds.
 From contact not alone with officials and men of influence fresh from the war ring countries but with the diplomats ts accredited to the Swedish capital as well, the correspondent of the Associated Press can state that each government as it con- templates the terms of peace sees behind any prospective international negotiations the far graver problem of squaring with it's own people the menacing account in which a balance must be struck between benefits won and the staggering losses of blood and wealth. What will the "com- mon people, of the belligerent countries do and say if the net result of the year s sacrifice and fighting is but re-estab- lishment of the ante-bell status quo? Can anyone of the nations at war satisfy its people with such an accounting?
 Whenever the prospects of an early peace seem bright, these problems cloud the skies of hope. The official view as to the conditions of peace allowed to drift out of Germany, Austria and the entente countries have as yet offered no basis of agreement which takes into con- sderation the settlements to be made 'at home' by both sides. At least that is the view taken here in Stockholm.
 It is felt here tha% france occupies perhaps the least difficult situation of any of the nations now at war. For France was invaded, Paris was threat ened and the army was called into the field in defense of home and fireside. France, it is said here can settle on any honorable terms and there will be little discontent among the people.
 But what of Germany? Can she it is asked, give up all the occupied territory in Europe, return to her own borders with industries shattered, foreign trade to be won all over again and yet make the people 'at home" feel that their losses and sufferings were not in vain?
 Can Great Britain afford to give back to Germany all of her colonies after the sacrifices at Gallipoli, in East Africa Mesopotamia and in the fields and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-09

has said so, and this must be the ex- planation to the people. I, for one, am not so sure that we will not have serious political, social and economic disturb ances after the war is over. But tell me if you can which of the belligerents will be free from similar problems? The problems of the war have been great, but to my mind the problems of peace and reconstruction after the war will find us face to face with questions far more difficult to solve than any encountered upon foreign battle fronts.'
 In the further consideration of peace there is widespread discussion here as to how Russia shall be appeased for the losses she has suffered in the war. Rus sian sacrifices have been great and the Russian people expect material compeu- sation. Sweden is particularly interested in seeing that Russia Is appeased. Men claiming they know the Russian view have stated here that that country will be con- tent only if given possession of Constan- tiniple and the Dardanelles. With this natural outlet it is claimed Russia would forever be removed from the field of European politics, that her field of de- velopment then would be westward and that only Japan would have to fear her activity and her competition.

Local Relay Team
Runs at Albany

jerks" Murphy and Jim Bowers
of Ashland have their relay string at
Albany for the Albany Roundup
which opens today and hope to get
into the money If not to win first
place. Allen Drumheller of Pendle-
ton fame, called the worlds cham
pion relay rider, is reported to have
his string entered, and the local boys
will have to travel to win. The Ash
land string is a fast one, however,
and the first prize of $3.50 looks
near. Murphy has been getting some
fine practice at Ashland, Medford
and Yreka and will make time which
will be hard to beat. Wade Hamp-
ton, famous race horse owned by Jim
Bowers, will probably be used as the
fourth horse in the string, since the
race is to be run on a half-mile
track. Wade is not nervous and
should make a good finisher as he
will stand for the mount. 1t will not
be necessary to run chances of stow
ing him up by stopping him for a
change in using him to finish.

be Faith, Repentance, Justification,

The evening theme will be Jesus

cussion will be, "Is the world grow
ing better or worse?" The sugges-
tion of the theme was presented at
the Rogue River Ministerial meeting
by the diversity of opinion among
the preachers on this great and i'm
portant subject. Have the self
styled "optimists" Bible proof for
their position? This will not be
merely discussion to try to prove
our position, but we will try to show
