ALLIES REFUSE TEUToN1c PRoFFER.

The neutral world Is not surprised
that the entente powers have de-
clined the prefer to initiate peace
rendered by the central
powers.
The Teutonic spokesman. Beth
mann Hollweg. and more recently
other Germans including the Kaiser,
had rather too much to say of a vic
torious peace.
Germany lost this war when valiant
France halted her almost in cannon
shot OF Paris and hurled her legions
back.
Germany has never had chance of
ultimate victory since. Her armies
have fought bravely, Her sacrifices
have been freely made, nobly borne.
But when 1t comes to downright
question OF right and wrong Germany
we don't mean the kind hearted,
home-loving German people. but their
ruIers-is and has been awfully. hor-
ribly. cr1minally wrong.
Germany's peace offers were made
with the belief or feeling that Ger
man successes, her occupation OF en-
tente territory her splendid Rumaniau
campaign. placed in her hands great
leverage for securing agreeable peace
terms
The entente allies, however, take
the view frequently expressed in these
columns-that the German advantages
are more apparent than real, in so far
as their influence on the final settle
ment of the war Is concerned.
1t doesn't matter in a fisticuff be-
tween men, how much one kicks the
others yaller houn' dog around The
dog may yelp-but what effect does it
have other than to spur the dog's
owner to greater effort?
We don't see how Germany's cutting
Rumania is licking Great Britain very
fast. or how the taking Of the other
little fellows In the Balkans has done
much to whfp France
Germany has got some thousand
square miles of alien territory-but
we don't see how it has helped mat
ters much. Russia really doesn't
know IT has lost anything by the
organization OF the new Polish king
dom. The Car had already virtually
promised Poland a form OF independ-
ence. We doubt that Poland will fur
nish any considerable body OF men to
the armies of the central powers.
The war Ia a deadlock to this hour.
with the entente powers gradually pre-
pairing for a renewed and tremendous
offensive next spring. when they pro-
pose to show their superiority in man
power by simultaneous attacks in
force on every front.
In other words. they hope to and be-
lieve they can break the deadlock. We
believe they can. eventually. at stag
gering cost.
We don't believe the game is worth
the candle
But their reply does not shut the
door on peace efforts. SO far as we
have been able to gather, at the hour
of this writing the reply is a refusal
to negotiate until and unless the CEN
trail powers set forth their terms.
We see no reason why the central
powers, az initiators of the bargaining
should not make their offer. We be-
iieve they will-thereby at least bring
ing about opportunity for further in
terchanges
Once on a bargaining basis, we be-

DOG DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ACTOR
IN ONE PART OF DIAL ROLE

In the William Fox production of
1.-THE Wonderful Adventure" which
will be shown at the Isis Wednesday
and Thursday evenings and in which
William Farnum is starred, the actor
plays a role which is in reality two
parts, as it deals with a dual person
atty. The drama which is from the
pen of the noted author, Captain Will
bur Lawton is mainly based upon the
"Jekyll and Hyde" characters of John
Stanley, the young engineer. and De-
marest, the drug fiend who resembles
him so closely that it is next to i'm
possible to tell them apart.
The action of the play requires that
John Stanley be possessed of a faithful
collie dog, his companion and only
friend. When Stanley meets Demar-
est, the dog, with canine intuition, des-
cries the subtle faint of evil that
hangs about Demarest Several dogs
were tried but they were all equally
friendly with Mr. Farnum, both in the
character of Stanley and of Demarest.
At last, however, Rover" magnifi-
cent collie from the famous kennels
of j. p. Morgan was tried. The dog
showed marvellous intelligence. When
Mr.. Farnum as Stanley, was in the
scene, Rover could not be demOnstra-
tive enough in his affection. When,
however, the actor passed to the role
of Demarest, Rover's disposition
changed entirely. He seemed to sense
what was required of him. He snarled
and the hair on his neck rose omin-
ously. 1t was actually dangerous for
Mr. Farnum to approach him; yet,
when the scene was over and Mr.. Far
mum emerged" from his character,
the four-footed actor was as friendly
as ever 1t was one of the most re-
markable examples of canine sagacity
on record Rover now earns his mas
ter, James NJ. Allen, of The McAlpin,
New York City, a good living and the
cost of his services has risen from five
to ten dollars a day.

Homestead Bill Pass
IS HOuse--Now
Up to Senate.

Just before going to press the
Record received the following
communication from Washing
ton:
Washington, Jan. Is. The
Ferris bill to create a system of
640-acre stock-raising home
steads on arid, semi-arid and
mountainous lands in seventeen
states, was passed late to-day
by the house. Allthree of the
administration consery alton
Measures providing for water
power development, mineral
leasing and larger stock raising
homesteads now await the ac-
ton of the senate.
The senate public lands conn
mittee already has reported an
identical homestead bill, and is
expected to bring out soon a bill
identical with the house meas
ure for water power develop
ment. So far the bill for leas
ing mineral lands has not made
any progress in the senate.
The new homestead bin pro-
vides that the lands affected
cannot be entered until they are
designated as subject to entry
by the secretary of the interior,
bnt applicants for homesteads
are given preferential rights
uutil the lands are 50 designat-
! ed The government reserves
all mineral rights OH the home
steads.

Ock-Raising Home
stead Bill Up
Again.

The Gao Acre Stock Raising
Homestead Bill was again intro
duced in Congress in December
That is a bill Identical with HR
No. 1879 which was introduced
by H. B. Ferguson in the 63rd
Congress and passed the house
January IS, 1915 and was re-
ported favorable by the Senate
Committee, but by some means
or other the bill failed to pass
the Senate, was introduced.
Nest all readers of the Record
are familiar with the Ferguson
bill and viii recall readily most
all of its provisions.
The bill has been in the hands
of the Committee on Public
Lands for several days past and
they on January 18th, submit
ted detailed report and recon-
mended certain amendments,
j. several of which amount to nc
thing to the homeeteader.
But the most important change
or amendment suggested by the
committee is the striking out of
that section limiting filing to
ten miles and thereby confinlng
additional entries to contiguous
lands.
The bill as recommended by
the committee will afford but
little relief to the original set
tiers, as the majority of them
will find no land adjoining them
to take as their additional. The
bill as recommended by the com
mittee will probably be intro
dueed ard passed within a few
weeks.
This bill, if it becomes a law
will meet with objections from
the old time settler who only got
100 or 800 acres and who finds
nothing adjoining him to make
out his GAO acres. But we must
remember that this is the great
opening wedge to what we dc
want. We should accept this
gracefully and then begin al
once to get an amendment that
will give what we do want
That is allowing the old settler
who has spent his time anC
money here, developing the
country to what it is today, t.
go any where in the state tina
lie can find suitable vacant lands
and take up such an amount al
added TO his original entr,
would make his full $40 acres
The Record has arranged TO

and will publish from time t.
time any matter pertaining Y

which he's remained classic through all
the years as done at the Bandbox is so
cut and mutilated to reduce the playing

hammered and freakish, that the real val
ues of the piece are quite lost, and IL isn't

Convention in Philadelphia two years ago.
However. the three original pieces are
worth while and well done; on the whole.

at the Bandbox. In certain Instances,
others have been well acted but on no bill

been presented with so little hint of the
amateur, so professional an ease and as

It Is worth noting, too, that the WASH

the first play the negro mother is played
by Miss Mary Morris. of Boston, while the
small girl friend of the suffering child
