HUNGARIAN LEADER SAYS Al
PEACE MOVE WITH WILSON'S
HAND MAY COME IN WINTER.
DELAYED DISPATCH FROM BERLIN
GIVES ACCOUNT OF AN INTER
VIEW WITH GREAT TEUTON-
KNOWS OF NO REASON WHY
PRESIDENT WILSON SHOULD
NOT BE INTERMEDIARY,

BERLIN, Nov. 13.-Oelayed by CEN
sor.)-The beginning of peace negotia-
tions between the Central Powers and
the Entente Allies may, perhaps, be ex-
pected, with fair prospects of success,
during the coming winter, in the opin-
ion of Count Albert Appoyni, Hungar-
ian parliamentary leader and former
Hungarian premier. The opinion was
expressed by Count Appoyni in an in
terview with an Associated Press cor
respondent.
The beginning of formal negotiations
cannot be expected, however, accord
ing to Count Appoyni, until the Teu-
tonic Allies have completed their Ru-
manian campaign. That this is near
ly finished he also believes, and is OF
the opinion that Rumania will have
been finally and effectively crushed
when this campaign is concluded.
Count Appoyni declares that states
men or the opposing camps are draw
ing closer together, and in this con-
nection points out that the British no
longer talk of crushing Germany" ="
while the agitation for annexation of
occupied territory in Germany is dying
out rapidly
With the statesmen of the belligerent
governments thus coming nearer to-
gether concerning cardinal points upon
which peace may be established, Count
Appoyni saw no reason why neutral
mediation should not be welcomed at
the proper moment. An interesting
feature of the interview is found in
the statement of Count Appoyni that
he sees no reason why President Will
son should not be the final intermed-
iGry between the European belligerent
when peace negotiations are formally
inaugurated.

Within another week the paving on
Lee street is expected to be finished,
and then the city officials, according
to Chairman E. l.. Bell, of the street
committee, intend to lay water mains
and piping to the Third District A. &
NJ. College for the school and the cir
Gus grounds. 1t was suggested that
the county commissioners dig the
ditch, and the matter will be investi-
gated further
The city only has eleven convicts
row, and it was announced at the
meeting of the Mayor and City Coun-
ci. last night that three of these SEN
tences expire within this week, which
leaves only eight. Together with the
paving conditions, the necessary streee
work in other portions of the city, and
the laying of the water mains, the
street department of the, CITY is flooded
with work.
The next section of paving to be
taken up is on Church street, between
Lee and Jackson streets. It is said
that the financing of this section has
been arranged by Mayor L. G. Council.
A striking shadow fell across the
future paving for the city under the
present arrangement when Mayor
Council announced that he would not
finance any more of the work after the
completion of Church street, and this
was done thus far to keep his promise
Every indication was that Mayor Coun-
Gil did not desire to place himself and
the city council in line for any more
unjust criticism. He stated that ne
had seen Lee street paved from Lamar
street almost to Dodson street.
1t has been planned to pave Taylor
street, and this will be done, if the
proper financial arrangements can be
made
Alderman Horton volunteered to act
with Chairman e. L. Bell in looking
after the matter of purchasing material
for further paving work, promising to
look into every avenue in an effort to
get it at better prices, or then set
at rest all statements and rumors to
the contrary.

MOTOR PUMP MAY Be
BOUGHT BY THE CITY

Visions of motor pump on a fire
truck to throw one thousand gallons of
water minute in three streams, loom
ed high over the horizon last night at
the meeting of the Mayor and City
Council when Chairman l. J. Kalmon
arose to announce that Morgan" the
venerable veteran horse of fourteen
years at the fire department, dropped
dead late yesterday afternoon.
Fireman Naylor was riding the horse
for exercise when he began to stagger
and suddenly dropped. Naylor was
slightly bruised in the fall.
The cost of replacing a horse; re-
pairing the hose wagon and the
amount of rebate on the old engine at
the department, figures up almost
enough to make the first payment on
the proposed truck, which created
much interest several months ago in
the council meeting.
Alderman Horton made a motion
that Chairman Kalmoh be requested to
secure data, so as to report at the
next meeting on the cost of the truck,
the terms, the additional advantage
for fire insurance rates, and ascertain
what will be necessary to give Ameri-
Gus first class rate.
