A Milwaukee poet thus addresses
the early robin:
Harbinger of spring.
Bird of good cheer
While still the sleigh bells ring
You are here.
1t would seem, says the Christian
Science Monitor, as if this called for
some more, as, for instance:
Do you come, birdie,
Only to grieve US
Are you not just
A trif1e too previous?

COUNTY HAPPENINGS
Dancy Items.

Everybody is taking advantage of
the excellent sleighing, and much
wood, logs, ETC., are being gotten out.
The saw mill at this place is running
all of the time, and is getting in a
large amount of stock.
Mrs. Nellie Kedzie Jones, whose
home is known as Smoky hill farm in
Dancy Drainage district, has been
making a lecture tour of the west,
going as far as Los Angeles. On her
trip west she stopped at many points
through Montana, and her train ran
into a severe cold wave and blizzard
near Bozeman, Mont, and was delayed
several hours. We are glad to have
such an able lady as Mrs. Jones for a
neighbor.
Jack Kedzie, one of the proprietors
of Smoky hill farm, attended the win
ter agricultural course at the State
university, Madison. Any one inter
ested in a fine farm, scientifically run,
should make Smoky hill a visit the
coming season. Smoky hill is so call
ed from the fact that it was the In
dams camping ground on the Little
Eau Pleine, no one knows how long
before the white man made his appear
ance in this section of the country,
and it is certainly very picturesque
spot.
Within the past few days three fam
lilies moved from Illinois out on an
600 acre tract of land recently pur-
chased in the Dancy Drainage district
They come well equipped with several
large work horses and all kinds of
modern machinery. The older gen.
tleman of the party settled in Illinois
fifty years ago, and at that time, their
now highest priced lands were
swamps. They saw those lands re-
claimed and increase in price up as
high as 100000 per acre, while the
high lands are around $4,000 per acre.
Previous to their purchasing up they
have had civil expert analyze the
soil and they found that the analysis
showed it compared favorably with
anything they had in Illinois. They
expect to get the land into hay on the
start, and work the producing quail
ties of it out, just as they did in Hi
nois. That they will make good there
is no doubt

AT GAINESVILLE last Wednesday even
ing. before an audience of 300, Gov.
Phillip explained the reasons why he
appointed NJ. B. Rosenberg to the
Supreme Bench and flayed the critics
of his action. Among other things
the Governor said: son Feb. 9Th or
9Th, Justice Barnes announced his
intention to resign to take effect Feb.
22nd. Haste was necessary because
two judges were i'll and if Justice
Barnes resigned and no successor
were appointed the court would have
no quorum. The geographical divi-
sions had to be considered. Promin-
emit men Endorsed Mr.. Rosenberg,
stating that ne was well equipped for
the position. Time will prove the
correctness of the appointment. My
duty was to get young man for the
bench who can give years of service
to the community"

Washington View

This is the official view of Ger
many's reply SO far as 1t has been
formulated on the basis Of the unoff-
ciaI text The official copy had not
been received tonight and President
Wilson was keeping his mind open.
Neutral diplomatic quarters, too, re-
garded the note as step toward
peace and rather leaned to the view
that Germany might follow it with
confidential communication of some
sort outlining her terms. The view OF
the Entente Allied embassies frankly
an answer to President Wilson's note
but rather a document for circulation
in Germany and in neutral countries
with the object ,of moulding opinion TO
place the responsibility for continuing
the war on the Entente.
Among the German diplomats the only
view expressed was one of surprise that
the reply had preceded receipt of the En-
tente's response to Germanys original
peace proposal of Dec. l..
It was everywhere agreed that the prin-
cipal sticking point was the lack of
definite statement Of terms such as Pres
ident Wilson asked and such as Lloyd
George declared the Allies would require
If they were not to put their heads in
moose with the rope end in the hands of
the Germans" 1t is not beyond the realm
of diplomacy, however. to find way to
bridge that difficulty and Germany's fail
ure is not regarded as block to the ne
gotiatons. although it makes them ,ex-
ceedingly difficult"
Some referred to Lloyd Georges
declaration that if Germany would
first openly offer PREPARATION, restitu-
ton and guarantees" The German re-
ply is regarded as not only failing to
do this, but it's suggestion that the
work be left for the future, it is fear
ed may raise difficult obstacle for al
lied statesmen to surmount without
their own people to whom an absolute
ly durable peace has been held out as
one of the main justification Of the
war.
Unpopular as such concession
might be in the Entente countries, the
very enornity Of the subject viewed
in the cold light of diplomacy. is re-
garded here as sufficient to require a
separate conference, but one which
might properly be intertwined with
the peace meeting. One suggestion is
that the conference might bind the
belligerents in solemn declaration and
pledge to carry out reorganization of
the international balance and leave the
actual details such as decentralization,
limitation of armament, military bud
gets and the like for separate confer
ence untrammelled by the difficulties
sure to surround the first meeting.

Special Meeting Of
War Cabinet

The Teutonic Allies are favor
able to an immediate meeting of
delegates from the belligerent
states at some neutral point in
order that an exchange of views
with regard to peace may be
carried out.
This has been declared by the
German government in replying
to the recent note of President
Wilson suggesting that the bel
ligerent nations make known
their basis for peace. It is an
nounced in the note that Ger
many is of the opinion that the
work Of preventing future wars
can be begun only after the end
Of the present struggle, but that
then Germany will be ready to
'collaborate with the United
States in this exalted task"
Nothing has yet come
through to indicate what will be
the tenor of the replies of the
Entente Allies to President Will
sons suggestion and SO far as is
known, none Of them has yet
given an answer to the an
nouncement made to them in the
note of the Teutonic Allies that
Germany is ready to discuss
peace.
Meantime the premiers Of
Great Britain's colonies have
been urged to attend at an early
date-not later than the end Of
February-a series of special
meetings of the war cabinet. At
these meetings, says the British
colonial secretary, urgent ques-
lions affecting the prosecution
Of the war, possible conditions
on which agreement with our
allies we could assent to it's de-
termination and problems which

were selected today. Nineteen tales
men were examined. Four of these
were challenged by the defense. and
one by the state while 10 were excused
by Judge John Kivel.
The court opened at 2 O'Clock and
adjourned two hours and a half later
in order that the veniremen who had
not been examined might get a train
and pass the night at their homes
The four selected were placed in
charge of Deputy Sheriffs John s.
Quimby and Horace B. futile.
Attorney General futile is in charge
OF the prosecution but all of the cues
uonlng of talesmen on behalf of the
state was done by Walter T. Hill. the
county solicitor.
In ms examinations, Mr.. Hill laid
special stress on the attitude of the
venlremen on capital punishment the
law providing that in the event a YER
dict OF first degree murder is returned
the jury may determine whether the
penalty shall be death or life impris-
onment. Mr.. Hill also sought to learn
or
church membership and the use of
liquor.
Walter s. Mathews, senior counsel
Tor Small, questioned the talesmen
mostly whether htey had formed opin-
ions in the case. The other members
OF the prisoners counsel, Sidney F..
Stevens of Somersworth and Sewall
Abbott Of Wolfeboro, took no part in
the questioning. Small sat beside Mr..
Mathews and appeared in good health
and spirits.
With one-third of the jury, chosen
n such short time the ATTORNEYS for
both sides expressed hope that the
jury box would be filed before adj
journment tomorrow and that there
would be time for County Attorney
Hill to make the opening argument
for the State.

exert an influence in judging the case
were the most frequent causes for dis

against capital punishment arose fire.

he did not believe in capital punish
