U. s. SOUNDS BEllI6ERENTs ON
PEACE, WITH PROSPECTS FOR
TRUCE GROWING.
AUSTRIA READY TO QUIT
ONLY DRAWBACK BEING FEAR
ALLIES DEMANDS WILL BE
UNREASONABLE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The serious discus.
sion of peace prospects in belligerent
countries has made profound i'm
preston upon administration and dip
lcmatic circles here The intimations
from European capitals that Presi-
dent Wilson has q peace movement
under way were interpreted here to
mean that the diplomats and consular
officers of the United States are
sounding out opinion abroad among
the peoples as well as the govern
nents of the fighting nations.
There has been a strong belief here
for several weeks that President vii
son hoped to make a visible effort
toward peace in Europe as soon as the
Mexican situation had been composed
to the point OF reasonable certainty
that this country would not have to
GO to war with Mexico.
The report has gained strength OF
late from the general belief that all
the belligerent powers are near the
point where further restraint of inter
national law may not hold them in
check.
Diplomats will not discuss what the
near future may have in store for the
world, but those from neutral coun.
tries almost without exception look to
President Wilson to set on foot soon
a movement that will give the bellig-
erents an opportunity without loss Of
prestige to any, to discuss possible
peace terms.
There are several ways suggested
for the President to make the momen.
tous suggestion, but the two receiving
the most consideration OF diplomats
are said to be:
IA proposal for an arrnistice Of
temporary character, for the pur.
pose of permitting the representa-
tives OF the several belligerents to
meet at some neutral capital, prefer
ably The Hague, to discuss terms upon
which definitiye peace may be con.
cluded.

Land Selling at High Prices.

Farmers from all parts of the Mid.
die West are spying out the land in
Colorado and are buying tracts at un-
heard-of prices, grazing land is going
under lease rapidly with a marked
growth Of the stock interests in the
state, and, despite the weather, II.
censes to prospectors for mineral, oil
and gas are being issued, according 10
William MacNichol, chief clerk Of the
state land office. I'VE are disposing
Of from 5000 to 10000 acres at the
sales every month";" he said, "and we
have averaged about $12 per acre,
which, l believe, is a record. During
the last two years we have leased
about 2.500,000 acres of grazing land
and the demand has not ended. Tne
rate has been 07 per acre. Besides
this. there has been a considerable &C.
tivity in filing on the federal land
throughout the state. Our activity,
however. has been throughout eastern
Colorado. The Logan, Weld and Nor
gan county rainbelt has been particu.
larly attractive. Pueblo county has
had quite little oil and gas stir. We
have issued number of oil and gas
prospecting leases"

They say that designing for Ameri-
cans occupies the time-so far as 1t
Is occupied-of the world-famous mo-
distes of Paris. Judging from the num-
Der Of imports, and that the Ameri-
cans who look to Paris are those Of
two hemispheres, the designers seem
to be fairly busy. In spite Of the ten
sion Of war there seems to be no lack
Of inspiration In the products Of the
peculiar genius Of the French.
Three hats from Lewis shown here
are beautiful and rational styles for
midwinter wear. Already the eyes Of
those who create styles are turned to-
ward spring and they are busy with
the things that must be ready for dis
play just after the holidays, so the
hats pictured may be accepted as the
last word from a great authority.
The wide brimmed hat of satin.
faced with velvet. is partly turned off
the face at the front, In mode al
ready approved. Its lines suggest out
spread wings, and perhaps this Is the
reason why small pair, embroidered
In silk In several colors, Is posed at
the front. There la no other trimming.
The second hat Is turban In a
shape that Is particularly becoming to
women Of middle age. A puff of vel
vet Is set about the coronet, higher at
the back than at the front. A band
Of paillettes and bugles, finished at
the side with two balls, adds q touch
of hrillianes 10 this all-black creation.

LESS a Prison, More Of a Home"

DR.. Samuel W. Hamilton of the Ma.

who is In Colorado studying the laws
and conditions governing the care by

view that the public institutions where
the insane are confined should be
made less Of prison and more Of a

to regard the unfortunate inmates OF
such institutions less in the light Of
outcasts. he declares.

CU MMINCS TIRED FOR FIRST TIME
 IN SWIFT TOURS
Candidate Has Made 57 Speeches in 10 Days to
 Ever Growing Crowds.

With Waterbury as his base. Homer | s. Cummings, candidate for United States senator, is touring Litchf1eld and New Haven counties this week.
 He spent practically. the entire after noon at the Hotel Elton yesterday, | where he spoke before the Connecti- cut Mayors association. Last even ing he addressed big Democratic ral- | lies in Ansonia and Derby. AS he was going to bed last night MT. Cummings said, For the first time of this tour | I feel actually tired" He has made only '57 speeches since week ago Monday.
 John Temple Graves, editorial rep resentative of the Hearst publications, spoke before the same crowds as MT. Cummings last night and compliment ed the people of Connecticut upon having such a man to represent them in the United States Senate as MT. Cummings MT. Graves "heart to heart talks with Connecticut voters are being well received. They are out of the ordinary in political campaigns Leaving Stamford yesterday morn l ing at o'clock, MT. Cummings drove l to New Milford, where he spoke to crowd of about 75 gathefed about the steps of the United Bank building. The wind was blowing fercely, but they all gathered about ''home-like," and MT. Cummings had no difficulty l making himself heard.
 From New Milford he went to Bridgewater, one of the typical up- state communities where the vote seems to decrease every year instead of growing greater. But no fnatter how small the voting list there arc al- ways few sturdy old Democrats to shake the candidates hand and listen to him. The Democrats augmented
 by Republicans who come to scoff and remain to pray never fail to make up
 a good audience.
 Roxbury was the last stopping
 place of the morning. Owing to an
 error in the schedule MT. Cummings
 was not able to make Watertown in
 time to catch the noon workers and
 about 175 were disappointed by his
 failure to appear in time.
 Following lunch at the Elton in
 Waterbury, and the address before the
 Mayors association, MT. Cummings
 went over to Oakville where he talked
 before a big gathering of employees from the the pin factory. In spite of the biting cold wind, and the fact that the men were hungry, over 100 stayed with the speaker to the finish, and aplauded him.
 MT. Boutell, staunch old Demo- cratic warrior was chairman of this meting. lie is cldse on to 80 but mo- body would ever guess it. He is known to all the fair people in New England and New York state. For 40 years he !! has been selling whips at fairs. But" says he, "the automobiles are killing l the whip business"
 It is interesting to MT. Cummings | to notice how in each little place the local committee will apologize for the size of the audience, and say "if you could only come at night" To MT. | the fun of the situation Is that in each of these places the crowds are bigger than he ever ex- pected to find and apologies are out of order. s II
