The announcement by Chancellor
Won Bethmann-H ollwegg that Ger
many, after the end of the war, would
cooperate in an endeavor to find a
practical means for procuring a last
ing peace by means of an interna-
It comes soon after a similar state,
ment by Lord Grey, the British for
eign secretary, and so we have the
two strongest nations now at war
committed to the proposition of es-
tablishing permanent peace.
The German chancellor named one
condition, however. that may retard
the beginning of such an information
al league to enforce peace, but we be-
lieve it a just and necessary one.
1.-The first condition for the evolution
of international relations by way of
arbitration and peaceful compromise
Of conflicting interests ought to be
that no more aggressive coalitions be
formed" We would go even further
ana say no aggressive OF defensive
coalitions, outside of the world wide
coalition to enforce peace, be formed.
Without the coalition between Ger
many and Austria the present war
would not have started when it did. |
The coalition of England, France. |
Russia and Japan was certainly a
very dangerous organization for Ger
many
We do not know what the territori-
al alignment of the nations at war will
be when peace is finally made, but
as soon as they are determined they
should become permanent. No nation
should be allowed to take a foot of
territory from another. and the pres
emit divisions of American territory
should be in no wise disturbed. Then
coalitions would be unnecessary. We
believe the German chancellor has
taken a correct and therefore power
full stand for the enforcement of
worldwide peace after the close of
the present war.

OF that. It is simply a suggestion in
the interest of economy. We do not
believe it necessary to keep a man
and large force of stenographers
and clerks at work the year around
to properly assess the property Of
public service corporations. That
work could be properly done by the
state treasurer and it should be. A
big reduction in expenses could be
effected there without reducing the
revenue of the state a cent.

sephus Daniels is said to be sure of

Sec. Lane of the interior department
will not be disturbed. Because he

slated for private life. 1t is consider
ed probable that Sec. Lansing will be
succeeded by Counselor Polk as Sec

will follow Postmaster General Burle-

the democratic national committee, it
is said will be seated around the cab

cate that political work rather than

A federal game preserve has been
established in the western part of
North Carolina where no hunting of
any kind will be allowed. This is the
first federal preserve created east of
the Mississippi river. 1t should not
be the last however. II the govern
ment would establish a preserve on
the vast tract of forest it owns in New
Hampshire it would do a great deal
to improve hunting in the adjoining
forest tracts of New Hampshire,

more Sheep and More WOOL

more sheep and More Wool"
Fiber and Fabric after calling atten-
ton to the decadence of the sheep in
dustry in this country says:
If we can build the greatest indus
ries in the world. we can also foster
and bring to fruition the greatest
sheep country in the world. We have
the men, the brains and the land.
Let us start in now and learn from
the severe lesson of the war that
America can be first in all things
from the raw material to the finished
product. Boost the more sheep
and more wool" campaign started in
this country by contributing your
mite in time and energy. Do it now.
We will need the wool as never be-
fore when the nations of Europe ar
ray themselves against the United
States in the tremendous competi-
ton for trade that Is sure to follow"
Doubtless many of our Vermont
friends will remark, But we have
the dogs too" We admit it, but
wonder if we have more dogs than
they did back in the days when sheep
were so plenty in Vermont We think
perhaps the people of this state do
not show as much enterprise as the
dogs and if they did they might do
much toward giving this country
More Sheep and More Wool"

The returns show that Woodrow
Wilson was reelected on Tuesday.
There should be no appeal from the
verdict. Any legal proceedings at
tempting to go back of the returns
should not be countenanced. The re-
tries in the world, we can also foster
one but we think it much wiser to
take our medicine and make the best
of the situation than to attempt to
overthrow the returns made by the
legal authorities.

 CHICAGO, Feb 2.-That the floods in the leyee protected sections of the Mississippi valley are endangering the lives of thousands of people is shown te day in the reports from all sections from Memphis southwark
 The Mississippi river levees are re- ported to have broken in two places below Memphis last night and six towns in Mississippi are now under water and their inhabitants In great danger.
 The flood area is the widest known in sears and covers an immense eX- ten of territory Towns along the Arkansas river are also in imminent danger of being wiped out through the breaking of levees and two hun dred persons are reported facing death by drowning through being completely hemmed in by the flood waters at Red field, between Little Rock and Pine Bluff.
 The levee behind Redheld broke some time yesterday afternoon loosening the waters of the Arkansas in a mighty flood which covered the town to a depth of several feet and drove the inhabitants to the roofs where they are forced to remain in the absence of means of rescue.
 Urgent reports have been sent to Pine Bluff and Little Rock stating that the waters are rising rapidly and unless help Is soon forthcoming the inhabitants of the town and the ad- !ntent valley will surely perish. The call intimates that aid must arrive within a few hours or there Is little chance for escape.
 From all accounts the swelling of the Mississippi and Arkansas Is threat ering every farm and town along the Mississippi in the state of MisJissip-

The officers caught the man making his getaway after attempting to break in the safe In a meat market but without success. The pollcemans call to halt was answered by a shot from the robber who at once ran and finally backed himself Into the cover of a narrow passage between two buildings and continued the battle until Patrol- man Sweeney fell The policeman's companion turned his attention 10 hIs wounded comrade and the robber es- cape.
