Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1916-12-14

The Germans have made their so-caned peace proposition and if
official cognizance is taken of it by the Entente nations it will no doubt
be turned down. At least it looks that way from newspaper expression as
telegraphed from Europe. SO the slaughter will probably continue for
another ear or two, o till one OF those concerned quits through exnaus-
ton or lack of money, and may God speed the day.

JIM CALvINS
 GREAT RECORD

It will be forty years tomorrow since Jimmy Calvin pulled off his great stunt of twirling a no-hit game in which not man of the opposing team reached first base. This was the se- cond no-hit game of the year for Gal cin. who then wore the uniform of the St. Louis Reds. of the Independent Association. The Cass club of De- troit was the victim of Jimmy's pitch ing prowess, while in his earlier no- hit game he had twirled against the Philadelphia club. George Bradley of the St. Louis National League. club also twirled a hitless game in '76.
 St. Louis has always run to colors in naming it's ball clubs. The famous Reds, of which Jimmy Calvin was tho pitching staff, shared honors in '76 with the Browns, as the National Lea que club was called. The original Browns were dropped from the Ma tional League in 1877, but the name was revived when the old American Association placed a team in the Mound City. The A. A. Browns had

FISH ATE so MUCH
 HE COULDN'T SINK

Statesville, N. C., Aug. 16.-Sitting on his porch the other morning J. w. Stewart noticed a good sized catfish floating down stream. The fish was very much alive and was in much commotion, apparently trying to go under water and for some reason could not.
 MT. Stewart was interested and he got his boat, went out on the river and ca blurred the fish. He put 1t in tub of water and found that it wouldn't sink. This led to further examina- ton and MT. Stewart says he found the fish had swallowed a large quan- tity of wheat-having access to the wheat as a result of the recent floods the wheat grains had swelled so the fish couldn't digest. them, and alto gether that gorge of wheat had put that fish in a bad fix. He not only could not go under the water but he was doubtless suffering much "mis- ery' on his insides.
 In all his long experience on the river, MT. Stewart says, he had never come across a case like that.

WHITE BOOK OF
 U. s. PUBLISHED . FOR PUBLIC USE

Washington, Aug. 16-The third edition of the American White Book, containing tabulated copies of cor respondence exchanged by the state department with European belliger- ents during recent months, has just been issued by the department. It contains no important communica- tions the substance of which has not been published, but reveals textually for the first time some of the memor- anda dealing with armed merchant men, the presence of Allied cruisers off American ports and other sub jects.
 Secretary Lansing's suggestion that merchantmen be disarmed is shown to have been firmly rejected by all of the allied powers. The British am- bassador in & memorandum dated March 23, summed up their position by saying the Allies are unable to agree that upon a nonguaranteed German promise human life may be surrendered, defenseless. to the mercy of an enemy who in circumstances of this kind, as in many others, has shown himself to be both faithless ana laWleSS.
 Secretary Lansing. on Nov. 16, 1915, 1t is shown, sent a note to the German ambassador summarizing a dozen cases in which German officers and men had escaped from German cruis- CTS interned in the United States, de- claring that "the United States gov ernment regards the actions of these men as contrary to it's express instruc- tions and as breaches of honorable conduct" and requesting that the German government promptly return any of these men who may be within German Jurisdiction to the United States.
 It is disclosed that in note dated March 20, answering a complaint from Secretary Lansing regarding the presence of British cruisers near American territorial waters, the Brit ish ambassador expressed surprise at the state departments attempt to dis tinguish between different parts of the high seas. It says that he is "un- aware of the existence of any rules or principles of international law which render belligerent operations which are legitimate in one part of the high seas. illegitimate in another"
 The latest chapters of the cores pondence with Germany over the Lu- sitania case are not included in the White Book
