Regarding the peace offer of the
Central Powers the New York Amer
lean says:
"As 20 our own concern in the
matter it is sure that peace is in
every way desirable to us, not alone
on grounds of natural compassion for
the huge agony Of the peoples, but
also on grounds Of material self-in-
terest.
IF this dreadful war is prolonged,
either Russia orGermany will emerge
the undisputed master of Continen-
tai Europe, and either the British
Empire will be wrecked or England
will rule the seas with a power which
can do as it pleases to the rights and
commerce of other peoples
"rhe balance OF power i'm Conu-
mental Europe and the freedom of
the seas are as essential to the safety
and the peace OF the United States as
they are 20 the safety and peace of
every nation in The Old World.
That cannot be too wcightily im-
pressed upon the minds Of our pco-
pie. We have been amazed to see
how little this vital truth seems to
be 'comprehended by our Government
at Washington and by the press and
the people generally
Now, the only way In which the
balance of power can be maintained
IN Europe and the freedom OF the
seas to all peoples can be maintained
az all Is the conclusion Of peace
while there is any balance Of power
left to be maintained and any
freedom of the seas left to be saved.
''And 1t is our manifest interest, as
we'll as our high and solemn obliga
tion to humanity and civilization, to
exert all our might and inhurence,
and even "a measure Of pressure and
compulsion, to bring peace speedily
TO Europe.
"Any other course now would be
crime against the world against
the past, the achievements of which
are tmenaced with destruction;
against The future, which is threaten
ed with burdens impossible to be
borne; against our race, which Is be-
ing spoiled OF its youth, drained Of
tits life-blood bankupted of its
riches md left weaker and weaker
against the day when the yellow
ihordes storm down upon the white
peoples; against religion, against
, ANlGnCCt dEdih0l tNltAAaNAOliy 0SbAAl9N
God and man.
"And specifically, and selhshly, ii
you wish so to consider it, we are abb
solutely confident that any other
course would be a disastrous and far
reaching and almost suicidal mistake
against the interests and the safety
and the future prosperity and peace
Of our own dear country.
"In this crucial hour the counsel
OF humanity is the counsel Of self
interest.
'We have the fate OF the world
trembling in the same balances in
which our own fortunes and destiny
tremble, and well will it be for us
IL the scales incline in the direction
, Of mercy and peace.
II the entire press Of this country
would approach the question of peace
IN the same spirit as the New York

ON PRISON.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July 20
"A second attempt was made yes
terday to destroy by fire D. NJ. Oh.
erman's factory in the State Peniten-
tiary here.
Before leaving the factory which
employees nearly 1000 men, a convict
surreptitiously lighted a candle and
placed about it a bunch of strings
which were to convey the flames to a
pile Of infiammable material. The
lighted candle was discovered before
any damage was done.
Subsequent attempts to fire the
Penitentiary now convince Warden
McClung that the fire which destroy.
ed a factory building about a week
ago, and seriously menaced the en-.
tire institution, was of incendiary
origin.
Extra precautions have been taken
by McClung to prevent the convicts
getting possession of matches. 1t il
considered nearly impossible, how
ever, to keep matches from them.

DISCOVER OIL IN COLUMBIA.

Oil has been discovered in the rear
Of the home place Of ]. H. Sapp, who
resides in the northwestern part Of
the city. Mr.. Sapp, who is u well
driller, put down a well in his back
yard. His intention was to drill for
water and he expected to find it at
a depth Of a hundred feet, but struck
oil and sand at a depth Of forty-eight
three feet and abandoned further
feet. He drilled to a depth Of fifty
feet and abandoned
drilling for the reason that the wa
ter supply proved adequate. The
drill passed through ten feet Of fire
clay.
Mr.. Sapp says that he dug the
well last fall and that he has been
using the water since. Recently, A.
II. Schwabe, who lives cross the
street from Mr.. Sapp, began using
water out of the Sapp well and no
ticed that after the water set a while
that oil rose to the top of it. Yes
terday Mr.. Schwabe took a sample
of the water to a chemist at the Uni
versity and had it examined. The
chemist pronounced it coal oil, and
according to Mr.. Schwabe, was sur
prised to find so much oil in it.
Mr.. Sehwabe reported his discov-
cry to a number of Columbia CAPT
tzlists who have visited the well and
an oil expert named Branson, who is
investigating the well. A sample q
the sand will be submitted to chem
lists.
If Branson reports that any guam
tity Of oil can be gotten from the
well a company viii be formed and the
land around the Sapp place will be
thoroughly ~punctured with drills in
an effort to find oil-Columbia Trib,
