REGISTER TODAY

If you fail to register today you
can not participate in the primary
election September II. Every voter
in Pullman and vicinity should feel
a greater interest than usual in the
primaries this year. The republi-
cans will have an opportunity to
show their loyalty to two of their
fellow citizens, E. A. Bryan for Unit
ed States senator and w. l.. LaFol-
lette for congressman from this dis
trict. Local pride in the candidacy
OF these two men ought to be a suf-
ficient incentive to bring out every
republican voter, to say nothing of
the obligation to help select the best
candidates from among the many as
ptrants for state and county offices.
There is another incentive which
should prompt every voter in Pull
man to qualify for and vote at the
primaries. The action of the next
legislature will be of vital interest to
the welfare of the State College. The
question of the re-apportionment OF
the tax levied for the support of the
state institutions of higher learning,
will come up for decision. The re-
port of the commission appointed to
investigate the status of the State
College and State University will be
presented. If its recommendations
are adopted the college will suffer.
The friends of the University are
preparing to make desperate effort
to exalt that Institution at the ex-
pense of the college. Pullman people
therefore have direct and vital in
terest in the selection of legislative
candidates from this district, who
can be depended upon to defend the
welfare of the college to the last
ditch.
Under all these circumstances.
Pullman voters who fail to register
for the primaries are not living up
to their obligations as citizens. Re-
member that if you want to have a
voice in the selection of candidates
Tor congressional state and county
offices, you must register before the
books close tonight. Don't shirk,
REGISTER.

OF couple OF policemen were tossing
to and fro in the center of the mob,

to swing the crowd with them in the
direction OF police telephone box.
John let down the window and

GERMANY'S PEACE TERMS
. GIVEN OUT IN BERLIN
Semiofficial News Bureau Circulates
Summary of Alleged Conditions
Big Indemnity Is Demanded.

Berlin, Dec. 31.-The semiofficial
Wolff bureau circulated among the
German newspapers an exhaustive
summary of an article from the Neue
Zuericher Zeitung of Zurich, Switzer.
land, purporting to give in consider
able detail the terms upon which, ac-
cording to the newspaper, Germany
is req Iy to consider peace.
The terms named include the res
toration Of Belgian sovereignty under
French territory, the separation OF
Poland from Russia as an independent
kingdom under a German prince. the
restoration of all German colonies, the
payment of an indemnity which would
assume the form of a transfer to Ger
many of Russas Indebtedness to
France, amounting to some 18,0O0,OOO,'
600 francs, and the payment for
term OF years OF an annual contribu-
ton by Belgium equal TO the amount
hitherto spent annually on the Belgian
military establishment.
A similar contribution would be ex-
pected from Russia or Poland, this
point not being clear in the ar
ticle.
Whether the Belgian territory would
be restored entirely Is not specified
in the newspaper, but it is stated that
the country would be policed-that is,
garrisoned-by Germany until the pay
ments of the contribution were ended
and that measures would be taken
to prevent Belgium from serving as
an Anglo-French outpost, either by
treaty arrangements or perhaps
through pledges" turned over to Ger
many, the latter phase apparently re-
ferring to the retention of the Mouse
fortresses.

TRADE REVIVAL IN
WESTERN CANADA
Not a Myth but an Actually
Shown in the Returns of Az
ricuIturaI Statistics and
Every Department of
Trade and Com
merCe.

The trade revival in Manitoba, Sas
and not a myth. There is today a
spirit of optimism ip the air. just as
two years ago there prevailed the OPP
posite spirit of pessimism.
A general trade revival has been
felt in every department of business in
the Prairie Provinces. The agricul-
turists are in better shape than they
have ever been before in their lives.
No farmers of any country are in bet
ter financial condition and in more
general state of prosperity than are
the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested a record crop-a crop which
enriches them to the extent of some
thing over 100000 900.
In the cities the prosperity of the
country has been reflected. Every
where business is on the hustle. The
wholesalers and the retailers and the
implement dealers find business good.
The banks and other collection houses
find collections satisfactory, and finan-
cial men declare tat westerners are
paying up their debts. In Winnipeg
the bank clearings have been the larg-
est in history, exceeding some weeks
the figures of Montreal and Toronto.
The grain shipments have been the
biggest in the history of Winnipeg and
in the history of the twin ports, Fort
William and Port Arthur. The mail
order houses have had big year, the
rush of fall orders exceeding all previ-
GUS years and taxing the capacity Of
these establishments, whose most san
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business done.
The tide has turned in western Can
ada. The people of the West are
forging ahead, forging ahead in actual
production and in creation Of wealth,
giving generously to charitable and
other funds, paying up their back
debts, while going along carefully as
regards any creation OF new debts.
They are economizing but not scrimp-
Ing, acting cautiously but not miserly.
The financial heads of eastern Canada,
of the United States and of Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstintedly Offering
their praise and their compliments.
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada.
and it has been published to the world
The condition of western Canada at
the close Of 1915 is one Of optimistic
prosperity, backed by the same deter
mination Of western people to go on
increasing their productiveness and
maintaining the records which they
have already established.
The trade revival of western Canada
is the happiest feature in the business
survey of the whole Dominion for 1915
and in the outlook for 1916.-Adver-

ROBBERS KILL
TWO IN HOLDUP
Wealthy Brewer Of South Bend,
Ind, and Employee Slain.
SON PERHAPS FATALLY SHOT
Bandits Invade Office of Brewing Com
pany and After Vain Attempt to
Loot Safe Escape-Boy Wit
messed Battle.

South Bend. Ind, Jan. 3.-Henry
Muessel, general manager Of the
Muessel Brewing company, and his
chauffeur, Frank Chrobot, were In
stantly killed by two masked robbers
who attempted to loot the safe in the
brewery Office here. William Muessel,
aged fifteen, was shot in the abdomen
by the robbers and it is feared mortal
ly wounded. The two robbers fled with
out taking time to search for money,
in quest of which they committed two
and perhaps three murders.
Owing to the prominence of Henry
Muossel, reputed to be millionaire,
the entire town was aroused. Posses
secured the districts and the surround
ing country throughout the night, but
no trace of the murderers was
found.
From Robert Muessel, the eighteen
year-old son Of Walter Muessel, presi-
dent of the company, the police gained
their most accurate description of the
robbers Robert Muessel was in the
Office when the bandits entered. AL
though they shot the other three per-
sons, for some unaccountable reason
they satisfied themselves with binding
and gagging the youth.
Henry Muessel was one Of South
Bends wealthiest and most promi-
nent citizens and was well known
throughout northern Indiana. He
owned large tract of land in the vi
entity of his brewery and number OF
years ago presented to the city valu-
able strip of this property for school
purposes. Here a school building,
said to be the finest and best equipped
in South Bend, was erected and given
his name. He was a leader in all the
activities Of the German societies in
South Bend, man Of philanthropic
motives and active in local and state
politics. He bitterly opposed every
effort to make South Bend dry.
