PEACE VOTE ASKED
SOCIALIST FEDERATION OF PARIS
PASSES RESOLUTION.
Immediate Action Sought to Have the
Proposal Submitted to ParIiaments
of the Entente.

Paris, Dec. 19.-The socialist feder-
alton of the Paris district has passed
resolution, almost unanimously. CIV
ing favorable consideration to the pos
sible resumption of International So
cialist relations. The resolution en-
phasizes the possibility of these rela-
tons with special reference to peace
negotiations on the condition that
clear proposals on an exactly defined
basis be submitted by Germany and
her allies.
The entente governments are invited
in the resolution not to reject any
peace proposals without serious con-
sideration, and to submit such pro-
posals to their respective parliaments.
1t is argued that summary refusal
would be probably counted upon by
the entente's enemies as a serious
blow to the allies cause, and might
diminish its moral force while increas-
ing that of its opponents.
1t is further urged that the more the
proposals of the central powers are
unacceptable, the greater is the duty
of the allies to denounce them to the
world and to show by immediate coun-
ter-proposals what they regard as the
Indispensable objects of the war.
The governments intention to pro-
hibit the consumption of alcohol in
France has aroused strong opposition
among the large wine and spirit deal
ers. The syndicate of the wholesale
merchants of Bordeaux is sending a
deputation to Paris to demonstrate
with Premier Briant.

Tokyo. Dec. 19.-The German peace
proposals were delivered to the jap
anese government. Commenting on
the proposals, the newspapers declare
that Japan will never agree to surren-

press the opinion that the peace prof.

PEACE NOTE GIVEN
TO GREAT BRITAIN
U. S. Envoy Delivers German
Message to Lord Cecil.
PREMIER TO SPEAK TODAY
Lloyd George VIII Reply to kaiser's
Message in the House of Commons
All Allied Governments
Given Terms.

London, Dec. 19.-The peace note of
the central powers was handed to the
British government by Walter II. Page,
the American ambassador.
There were no fornalities in connee-
ton with the presentation of the peace
proposals by Mr.. Page. The ambassa-
dor went in an automobile from the,
embassy and was received in the for
eign secretary's room by Lord Robert
Cecil, who was acting for the foreign
minister, Mr.. Balfour having just start
ed on three weeks vacation.
The note was handed by Ambassador
Page to Lord Robert without any COM
ment and the recipient made no refer.
ence to the question of peace, simply
thanking Mr.. Page for the transmission
of the message from the central pow
ers
Cabinet Considers Note Today.
The note will be considered by the
British cabinet today. The next step
after the meeting of the cabinet will
be to get into communication with the
allies of Great Britain SO that joint ac-
ton may be taken. This is expected
to take ut least week.
1t has been ascertained that the note
contains no terms and the impression
prevails in official circles that until
these are disclosed conference is i'm
possible.
The presentation of the German note
to the entente allied governments has
now practically been accomplished.
Germany's Purpose Indicated.
Prior to receipt of the note by the
British foreign office the deliveries TO
Italy, Belgium and other countries had
permitted exchanges concerning the
exact official contents which proved to
be substantially the same as given in
the speech made in the reichstay by
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg and
without containing any specific indica-
ton of the terms
The note was informally presented
without comment. This is taken to ip-
dictate that Germany framed the COM
munication so that the neutral inter-
mediaries would act only as forward
ing agents, at least at the outset.
Premier Lloyd-George's speech in the
house of commons is expected to show
the general attitude of the British gov
eminent. Thereafter exchanges be
tween the entente allies will determine
the nature of the joint reply. but infor-
NAL conferences already have prepared
much of the ground.
Chancellor of the Exchequer A. Bo-
mar Law definitely announced in the
house of commons that Premier Lloyd
George would be present in the house
today to make his statement regarding
the British governments policy.
1t is hoped that parliament may be
prOrogued on Friday, to reassemble
early in February.

Issued a statement to the Associated

FL Paso, May 4.-Mexican military
men believe that the withdrawal of
the American troops from Mexico will
take place in about two months, it was
learned here. American officers will
make no comment on the subject.

On assurance from General Carranza
that the bandits are dispersed, the

troops will attain full speed and it will
not be long until the last trooper
crosses over the International boun.

In the meantime it was pointed out

In case the terms settled on by Gen.

proved by President Wilson and Gen

will practically be concluded, although
the formality Of another conference
will be gone through either TODAY or
Saturday.
1t is believed no American troop

To Stamp Out Bandits.
After that, however, the Mexican
and American troops are expected to
begin at once cooperative campaign
that will effectively stamp out the va

1t is generally understood here that
the first step to be taken will be a
gradual retirement northward of the
American forces while the Carranza
troops plunge into the campaign

Professor Gayley Of California
spoke at the Shakespeare tercentenary
exercises at the state university, and
in the course Of his address flayed the
Baconians, and incidentally the late
Ignatius Donnelly. It would have
been interesting to see Gayley in the
hands of the master logician and
caustic wit. When the Sage of Mimi
ger got through with the Californian,
Gayley would have felt like changing
his name to Sadly. The renewal Of
the discussion about the authorship of
the plays brings Donnelly once more
to recollection. When that cratic
politician and brilliant writer left
the abodes Of men, he took with him
more wit and cleverness than our
public men altogether can show. Yet
he hardly left as much impression on
his time as his great endownments Of
mind warranted.

SWEET CLOVER MAY PAY IN
THREE WAYS

Honey, hay and seed-three crops
from the same acre-are the things
that make white sweet-clover a prom.
Using forage crop for use under some
conditions.
Sweet-clover will do better than al
falfa on lands which are wet, dry,
hard or sandy. Two crops of hay,
yielding about four tons an acre, may
'be expected under favorable condi-
ton. Sweet Glove ar seed sells for
about $12 a. bushel. -Four, six or even
eight bushels an acre are not uncom-
mon yields. One crop of hay may be
taken off and the second crop allowed
to mature for seed. The bees can get
a big supply of honey while they are
helping to fertilize the blossoms.
Sweet-clover is one of our earliest
pasture crops, and pigs do almost as
well on it as on alfalfa. Tests at the
Iowa experiment station showed that
they did better on sweet-clover than
on medium red clover. When the pas
ture becomes short, they will eat the
big tap roots down as far as they can
dig. OF course, this kills the plant.
The Iowa station reports that hogs
will not root out the plants if their
grain ration is supplemented with
meat scraps or tankage. =,
Besides being a good hay, seed and
honey crop, sweet-clover, a legume,
enriches the soil. The feshy tap roots
60 deep after water and nutrients,
and besides adding nitrogen from the
air they add more than a ton of dry
matter in roots to an acre. Being a
biennial, sweet-clover fits into some
rations much better than alfalfa.
Sweet-clover has it's disadvantages.
There is enthusiastically bitter
vanilla flavor about the hay. If cut
late, the hay has woody stem that
will not be eaten by stock. When cut
young, however, it approaches alfal-
fa's feeding value.
To get the best results, it is neces-
sary to inoculate for sweet-clover.
Two hundred pounds Of soil from an
alfalfa or sweet-clover field, having
an abundance Of bacteria present,
scattered on an acre and narrowed in
will usually inoculate the plants thor
oughly.
From ten to fifteen pounds of hull
ed seeds an acre will give good
stand. If planted alone, or with a
nurse crop, it should be planted early.
IF allowed to reseed itself, it will
grow indefinitely. -
