CONFERENCE AT MONTE NE

Monte Ne, Ark, July 17.-All local
arrangements are completed at this
hamlet in the Ozark mountains, for
the character building conference to
meet here July % to 30. Educators
of national prominence from many
states will be present. It is the first
of its kind ever held and the propo-
sition is to make character teaching
as practicable as teaching reading,
writing and arithmetic, thus laying
the foundation for better citizenship.
The meeting is being promoted by
a national organization, connected
with which are Charles Henry Davis
of Massachusetts, Governor Capper of
Kansas, William Huttig of Kansas
City, Mo, and many others, among
whom are national educators of promi-
nence. w. w. Thomas of Springfield,
Mo, president of the Missouri state
school teachers association, will act
as director of the conference.
The local committee, here, has ar
ranged to entertain the educators
during the week Of the conference
with an Ozark mountain fidders' con
test which no doubt will ever remain
fresh in the memory of those who
witness it. The fiddlers' contest is
fixed for Wednesday night the 26th.

not regarded seriously, and certain

lieving the strong situation will reas-

to have premature peace, and we do
not mean to have 1t. Our enemies have
willed such a peace and are making
every possible effort to force one, as
the only alternative to final defeat.

sion. The Importance of this Informal
ton hardly can be exaggerated, when it
is considered that Mr.. Balm, the head
of the Hamburg American line, is such
a close and trusted friend Of the kaiser
and is, moreover, official director for
the war of the German railway trans
portation system.
The apparent deduction to be drawn
from this action Is that Berlin is de-
termined to leave no stone unturned to
end hostilities at the earliest possible
moment and is prepared to name such
liberal terms that it feels confident Of
their acceptance.
