PEACE BoGEY UP AGAIN.
British Minister Denies Any Overtures
Have Been Made by Germany.

LONDON, August "a. - No peace
overtures have been made to Great
Britain, declared Lord Robert Cecil,
minister of war trade and parliamenta-
ry understanding for foreign affairs.
IN the house of commons yesterday.
Lord Robert S statement was made
in response to n question by Sir James
Henry Dalziel, liberal member for Kirk
caldy Burghs, in regard to "peace ru-
mors' and the situation in the
Balkans.
90 No overtures have been made for
peace said Lord Robert. "There is
only one way in which overtures for
peace could be made, and that is from
an enemy to the government of this
country. If any such overtures were
made the first thing we should do
would be to consult with our allies, but
no communication of the kind has been
made
As to the Balkans, Lord Robert said
the most important factor consisted of
the operations from Saloniki. The al
lies relations with the new Greek gov
ernment he stated, were thoroughly
satisfactory.

Idle habits and bad practices are
more frequently contracted through lack
of proper and congenial employment
than in any other way. Alert and force
full boys must have employment that
satisfies their growing apprehension of
the meaning of life and gratifes their
innate ambition for achievement Lack
of occupation causes the ruin of more
children, and older persons, too, than all
the hard work they ever did. Child idle
ness is more fatal than child labor. The
wise and economic use of human en-
ergy is one of the vital problems that
challenges civic and religious communi-

Special Session Unnecessary.
(Rutland Herald.)

Evidence accumulates that politics,
pure and simple, lies back of the call
ing of a special session of the legisla-
ture by Governor Charles w. Gates.
No emergency exists. The usual ave
nues of credit and finance were OPEN
and the banks stood ready to advance
sufficient money for the state pay of
the Vermont militia at the front and
in camp, yet the session is upon us.
The Herald s exclusive story of the
cabinet meeting, - in which the gov
ernor was advised that the special SEES
sion would be a mistake, points to a
determination of the executive to 90
ahead regardless of advice, and the
only explanation is that he must ex-
pect the special session to forward his
senatorial ambitions.
, The Herald believes that the people
of Vermont will resent this type of
politics. 1t believes that they have a
right to protest against the consider
able expense that must ensue, and is
certain that neither the executive nor
his advisers were prepared to exhaust
other means of providing for the pay
Of Vermont troops before ia king the
steps necessary for special session.
In brief, it insists that in order tC
further his own personal political am
billions, the governor has been misled
into an act that must entail far-reach
ing consequences.

lie had fine Pink Crest on the toII
of his Head which looked like a
Crown, and his body was of the most
beautiful shade of Pink.
"Natalie's Daddy bought him right
away from the old Man and when he
reached Home that night he put the
Cockatoo in his own room. Early the
next morning was Natalfe's
Birthday-he put the Cockatoo in his
Cage on Table where Natalie would
see him as soon as she woke up.
well, you can imagine how happy
Natalie was. And she kept saying
over and over again:
"'Oh, how lovely you are The
Cockatoo would raise up his Pink
crest on the top of his Head at that
just as some People raise up their
Foreheads-only his Crest went way,
way higher. He did that whenever he
felt like it, and he always felt like
it when he was being talked to.
And after a very short time the
Cockatoo was just as tame as could
be and he seemed to grow more beau
tiful every day.
Before long he began to talk Just
as a Parrot will and follow Natalie
around the house. He had his food
out of special little Pink Dishes
Natalie had given him to match his
Pink Feathers, and every morning he
took his bath In a Pink Soup Bowl
which he thought was very fine indeed.
Maybe you will think he got
spoiled by so much fussing and atten-
ton but he just became tanner and
tanner every day. He learnt many
tricks and would often perform them
for Natalie's Friends.
And when it came time for Natalie's
next Birthday she gave Party. On
the invitations it said that the Party
was being given by Natalie and the
Pink Cockatoo. And in one corner
was little colOred drawing Natalie
had made of her Cockatoo. When the
Cockatoo saw 1t, he put his Crest
way up In the air. and said in funny
voice:
'Goodie, Nattie,' which was his pet
name for his Mistress.
And this, children, is a truly true
Story, you know"
