Hopeful View Is Taken.

The newspapers, in voluminous articles.
regard the situation rather hopefully with
the exception of the anti-German Tele-
graaf which favors war to finish and
sneers at Germany's answer, using the
words "if it can be called an answer"
The Telegraaf says that the central DOW
ers are grateful to President Wilson
which lis comprehensive, inasmuch as
their idea of a durable peace is to ar
range things so as to avoid having to
give up the territory they have grasped"
The general feeling is perhaps best ex-
pressed by the pacifist Neuws Van Den
Dag. which says: NO one will be under
any illusion about speedy meeting of
peace delegates at The Hague or else
where to begin discussions. although the
hope remains that this mountain Of talk
will bring forth more than mouse and
that from now on the voice of peace will
never more be Stilled''
The paper speculates as to whether
the British imperial conference may
possibly purposely have been called for
the end of February, because the en-
tente will then have its terms-ready.
New Tone to Note.
The Calvinist organ Nederlander calls
attention to what it terms the striking
difference between the tone of Ger
manys reply to President Wilson, as
compared with previous German notes
to America. This change, the Neder-
lander says, gives the impression that
Germany not only desires peace. but
also wishes to avoid giving offense to
America. The Roman Catholic Tijd un-
derstands from diplomatic source that
diplomatic and parliamentary circles
at The Hague are fairly optimistic re-
garding peace prospects. There is talk
of preliminary non official meetings of
delegates at The Hague, but the Tijd
says that the wish in this case is prob
ably father to the thought, although
Holland, owing to her geographic po-
sition, is doubtless best suited for pre-
liminarY negotiations.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN, RIPS
~ HUGHES UP THE BACK
Former Secretary of State Says
Hughes Paid Debt to Roads by
Vstoinx Bill.

Kansas City, Aug. 11.-William J.
Bryan replied here today to criticism
Of his attitude toward civil service
made by Charles E. Hughes, in 9
statement in which he said he had
reinforced the civil service law to the
letter." Mr.. Bryan challenged the
Republican nominee to state whether
he had given appointments to "de-
serving Republicans" while governor
Of New York.
Recent speeches of Mr.. Hughes
quoted q letter Mr.. Bryan had writ
ten to Receiver of Customs Wick in
Santo Domingo, inquiring as to
what positions could be obtained to
tsreward deserving Democrats"
81 am not ashamed of it," the
statement read. "The letter was
written to an appointive officer whose
Office was not under the civil service
and the inquiry was made in regard
to Offices which were not under the
civil service"
The statement, after declaring Mr..
Hughes to have "shown himself quite
prompt in discharging obligations"
declares: :t,,,..! = :,
