II she can make peace now 1t would be
on terms more favorable than later. II
she can strongly enlist American public
opinion, that is a great step toward the

WILSON MAY HAVE STRAIGHT
TIP KAISER WANTS PEACE

Washington, May 9.-It may be that
President Wilson is acting on strong
bunch" that Germany Is willing to
make peace in being moved to accept
the German submarine proposal at Its
face value.
Much interest has been created here
by the deliverance of a message from
the pope Saturday by Mgr. Bonzano,
the papal delegate to the United
States. White House officials would not
discuss the massage, saying 1t was prl-
vate.
peace and the hope that the United
States and Germany would not become
embroiled. The view that the pope Is
working in conjunction with President
Wilson is strengthened by European
reports that the kaiser has appealed to
his holiness to inaugurate some move
to end the war.
Says Kaiser Wants Peace.
It also is said that Ambassador Ger
ard has cabled President Wilson reports
Of his recent conversation with the kali
SER in which the latter is represented
as having expressed an ardent desire
that President Wilson undertake the
task of restoring peace. Unofficial dis
patches from Germany, probably IN
spired, showed the expectation OF the
German government that an amiCable
settlement of the submarine contrOVer-
sy with the United States would lead
eventually to mediation by the United
States.
Germany's Terms Easier.
Significance was attached to the
statement in the Berlin reply to the
American note that Germany is ready
to make peace on a basis of safe
guarding Germany's vital interests"
The impression gains ground that
Germany. desiring to end the war while
It is a victor on land, Is eXerting every
possible influence to induce President
Wilson to initiate mediation on his own
responsibility. Germany has not form
ally asked the president to mediate and
will not do so, according to German Of
flCials here.
Formal peace overtures by Germany,
It is contended. would be hailed by the
allies as q confession of weakness, II
not of defeat and only would serve to
encourage the entente to redoubled ex-
ertions to whip their enemies. If, how
ever. the president would undertake
mediation uoon his own initiative. Ger
many would accept the overtures.

A Fish Story that Isn't One
By WALT MASON
By WALT MASON

twenty years ago, or more Here, in a
railway accident, his frame was badly
crushed and bent. He lost both hands,
and well might he sit down and weep for
poor John p. But John was not the weep
ing sort; he was hero and sport.
And scarcely had he left his bed, ere
he went forth with jaunty tread, to seek
the work his soul desired, and as night
Waterman he was hired. And as he paced
along the piers where Beverly her masts
uprears, he planned for bigger, broader
things. The spirit of this man had wings
He built a house-boat, where he dwells
as happy as your wedding bells. Upon
the stump of his left wing he has hook,
and he can sling that hook around and do
his chores as well as any man indoors.
At first, to help to pay the freight, he
did some business selling bait; he handled
tish-bait by the ton, and bought dory
with the mon. And then he put more bait
on sale, and bought more dories with the
kale, and now he has string of boats, as
smooth as anything that floats, and lets
them out to gents who wish to rake the
briny deep for fish,
Then Yonny johnson sat him down,
and said, "Why not sell fish in town."
No sooner thought of than twas done,
and this brought in new brands of mon.
And ever thus the trade expands of this
brave man who has no hands. His busy
boats lie, rank on rank he has his bundle
in the bank.

Not a Weed in Parsons

R. WILLIAM LOOMS of Parsons,
vi Kansas, had an idea. All Parsons
ties agreed that there was no other
town in the United States that could COM
pare with Parsons; but Mr.. Loomis, as
Commissioner of Streets, was not blind to
the fact that even Parsons could be i'm
proved. For instance, there were many
vacant lots in the town where gaunt, I'M
seemly weeds thriycd, waxed, and grew
strong in the manner of weeds.
MIR. LOOMS looked long on the weeds.
And then came the idea.
He would grow potatoes on the lots.
Almost all the inhabitants in Parsons
were fond of potatoes. Parsons itself
would grow the potatoes Next week the
city commissioners authorized him to con-
duct municipal potato patch utilizing
all of the sixty vacant lots.
Parsons is enterprising. Soon it will
grow lettuce, turnips, peas-all that is
needed for the salads of the prisoners in the
Jail of Parsons, who now are wedding in
stead of breaking stone. Mr.. Loomis
hopes soon to persuade the city to buy
potato seed and give it to the poor to
plant. This would be cheaper than pay
ing to have the weeds cut.
Soon there will be no weeds in Parsons.
