by the Allies, but they will neverthe- less be forced to accede to our wishes in the matter, because we hold the whip hand, and they know 1t. Amer ican money, American food and American munitions have bolstered up the Allied cause and any embargo or interference with this stream of supplies would be fatal to the Allied cause. Therefore President Wilson must be listened to with courtesy and his requests considered.
 Unless the Allied nations. with their losses of eleven millions of men and their war debt of forty billions of dollars, bow under the tellible weight of their own sacrifices and :hcir view ruirt is changed the Herman proffer will accomplish naught.
 But even though the President s efforts may be in vain, the event shows that the future can be viewed with assurance. The belligerents. are nearer to one another than they have been since that fateful August in 1914. Therein is a ray of encourage ment.
 The efforts of the peacemakers from now until the war shall cease will gain, not lose, momentum.

that an embargo has been placed on the shipment of munitions from the United States to Mexico and aseribes the plight of the de facto troops in the north to these circumstances The fact is that we have favored Car. ranza with all the embargoes that have been put into effect since we started to get Villa, "dead or alive. ' Before the bandit chief took Cf.ihua. hua City it was 'Carranza's boast that his troops were "well supplied with munitions" Now that Villa has his eyes of Juarez with a probability ot it's capture, Carranza takes refuge in excuses. It is significant that Vii. la, whom this government refused to take seriously, has whipped all the Carranzaistas sent against him and kept the United States on the qui vive. Villa has outmaneuvred, out generated and outfought the de factn and has never yet been on the defensive.

It frequently happens that readers of the Prospector see in its columns the terse statement that "P-o spector Ads Bring Results" This assertion was proven beyond all doubt on the last boat when a letter arrived from far-oft Nova Scotia, containing an or der fer stock in the Alaska Gold Hill Mining Company, and accompanied by an advertisement of the company cut .ron the Prospector. This not only demonstrates the value of the P1ospec,or as an advertising medium, but also shows that the publication has a wide circulation, and that ad- yertisements in it's columns bring re- su.ts.

Business is good. Much better than last year at this time," said q prominent merchant to a ProspectoI representative this week. And this is the general opinion manifested by all merchants interviewed. But nc one of our business men will give a reason for the existing good times Some lay it to the fact that we had a prosperous summer with plenty of money, while others state it is be- cause more families have remained at home this Christmas, instead of going out to the States. Whatever the reason, it is most gratifying to know that business is good and our people happy and comfortable.

CONGRESS TO BE KEPT BUSY.

One of the most noticeable things about the last session of congress was that it's accomplishments were in inverse ratio to the time taken up with politics and debate. It now seems certain that the short sessicn, which opened the 4th If the present month, will be an entirely different affair. It will be necessary for the Democrats, while they have a clear majority in both houses, to "thrcw her into high," if, they desire tc ac- complish anything of purely parti- san nature.
 The present session will come to a close with the end of the 1912 ad- .hinistration on March 4, 1917. The jority in botn houses now, but after the close of the short session the house will be so closely divided that bill must count on more than ,ar- tisanship for legislative support. In fact, it is not improbable that the Republicans will have control of the house. It is known that they have 217 members as compared with PIP Dem, cratic members, and it is possi ble that the total will be 2l3. There are six independents, pro3ressives and socialists, the majority of whom would probably v,, for Republican rather than Democratic principles.
 It is probabl,, that in view Of this situation that Congress, under the spur of the exigency will show a greater tendency for speed than has prevailed .u the past.

 In addition to these two most i'm portant subjects, numerous other domestic and foreign questions will be raised to keep the solons busy fer the next three months.

WILL THERE BE PEACE?

PEACE! Is there any word in our language that carries greater meas ure of welcome? The world has
 waited for two and a half years to hear it-officially. And it has been sounded.
 The proffer of peace came as sud denly, almost as unexpectedly, as the cry for war. Germany and her allies have desired peace for months. The world has known it. The Allied pow CTS have known it, and have consid- tered the desire III indication of weak ness and exhaustion. The CentI al powers have made no efforts to con- ceal their desire for peace. The inn
