GERMANY WILLING
TO DISCUSS PEACE

Washington, March 22.-Germany
has officially intimated to the United
States government that, the services
of the greatest neutral nation may be
utilized soon in the interest of peace
in Europe Within the last four days
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg OF
Germany has conveyed to Ambassador
James w. Gerard in Berlin general
idea of the peace terms Germany is
willing to discuss.
Furthermore, Mr.. Gerard received a
strong intimation from the same quar-
ter that it will be inadvisable for him
to take a vacation at this time, as he
had planned.
Mr.. Gerard has changed his plans
therefore, and awaits further commu
nication from the German chancellor
With reference to the terms OF
peace only the most general express
sions were used. Nevertheless, it is
| possible to say that Germany has in
mind the rehabilitation of Belgium
and has no present intention of ask
ing for indemnity from that country
On the other hand, Germany is no
disposed to relinquish all of Northern
France without the payment of a mon
ey indemnity and will further insis
on the return of the German colonies
in Africa.

A Lost Ranch.

Custer county, Montana, went dem
ocratic at the last election it
went democratic once before. In the
early days Of the territory, ranches
were polling places. In 1862 Craig
McDowell's ranch was designated.
Just before the polls closed cow
boy rode into the yard with about
three hundred ballots all marked for
the straight democratic ticket. The
rider said he was from Wooley's
ranch, and the votes were recorded
and sent to Miles City, sixty two miles
away. -,
The only difficulty with the vote-as
developed long after election-was
that there was no such ranch in Mon
'tana.-Saturday Evening Post.
