STILL DEEMED SIGNIFICANT
Emperor's Messages to Pope and Lat

ident Wilson of Import.
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

Germany is at the height of her
military power.
Germany has taken. or in the i'm
mediate future will take. steps looking
toward an early conclusion of the pre-
sent great European struggle.
These are two dominating views pre-
raiiing among entente powers, while
students Of the present war from all its
viewpoints, in neutral nations. profess
to see in recent events Germany's de-
sire for peace.
The view that Germany at the present
time is inclined to bring the war to an
end is based principally upon the IDEA
that the Teutons have gained their
maximum of power in all arenas OF
war. and that the allies are in At posi-
ton to Withstand any future German
shocks on any front That German
aggression can do nothing but fail, IN
the light of allied preparations during
the past six months, is the confident
belief in London. Paris and Petrograd.
Firmly entrenched in the minds of
all people of the entente powers is the
belief that Germany in the light of her
present predominant situation, could
wish for nothing better than treat with
her enemies. now being in position to
demand terms almost to her complete
satisfaction.

 A total of S4572 had been raised by private subscription up until yesterday. A total of s3735 had been spent toward the improvement of the park and it will be necessary to raise approximate ly, 5000 more to finish the project
 The councilmen in soliciting the mines encountered some who were reluctant to aid the project. Many reasons were advanced-all of them seemingly based on some grievance council. The councilmen, though help ing the'project and giving Of their time to its advancement, have no. more in literest in the park than any citizen of Bisbee.
