There is confidence In both camps.
Today the boys saw sights Of interest

the flames had all died out and he
had no more matches. So during
Sunday night, and until Tuesday he
lay In the canyon with his strength
fast falling because of the cold and
from the pangs of hunger. Tuesday

During the last hour Of his travel he
was able to proceed but Is feet. He
was near enough the trail. however.

assisted to Marial. arriving there at
IL O'Clock Tuesday night. Wednes-
day he was taken on down the river
to Pittinger's. and the next day ar

like thunder. lies the whole explana-
tion OF the German proffers. There
fore. all that the allies need to con-
slider is to whether or not Germany
will concede the objects for which
the allies are fighting or will pre-
fer to continue to resist until her
resistance is broken. It follows also
that any suggestion made on the part
OF neutrals that compromise might
be effected. is. in fact, an attempt to
spare Germany and Austria, and is .
violation Of neutrality"
