1T Bully, Woodrow Wilson, At last, in
", your rejection of the pope's peace pro-
posals, you call spade spade. At last you
show genuine rage. In the forceful language
of diplomacy, but in language which we can
all understand, you call the kaiser a liar, a
double crosser and murderer. And that's
what he is. You phrase the thoughts of the
men who are fighting this war and the
thoughts of the wives and mothers of these

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug.
2O.-President Wilson sees
the throne of HOhenzollern
beginning to crumble.
Evidence of weakening of the
kaiser's hold on the empire; in
creasing boldness among the
leaders of the democratic faction,
and, above all, signs of imperial
anxiety at the growing moral
forces opposing him, reveal the
kaiser in weaker condition to-
day than at any time during the
war.
The president believes that If
the German people can only learn
the truth, the end of the great
struggle will be at hand. That is
why he emphasized in his reply
to Pope Benedict that only the
kaiser stands between the Ger
man people and freedom from the
grip of war.
Peace Door Ajar.
That is why he emphatically de-
clared he sympathized with no
allied plan to formulate an eco
nomic league with the post-bellum
boycott of Germany in view.
Officials here regard the Paris
conference at which such a plan
was laid. but in which America
did not participate, as one OF the
allied plumbers serving to CONSOLE
date the German people behind
the kaiser.
Peace rests upon the deci-
20 sion of the German people
not upon their rulers.
The peace door is swung
wide, but the TeutOns must
come thru it without Kaiser
wilhelm as their leader.
THIS epitomizes today President
Wilson's answer to the pope S
peace proffer. His rejection OF
peace at this time stands out in
diplomatic annals as one of tie
most virile state papers of this
war.
Yet 1t is tempered with another
direct offer to Germany to get
peace by spurning kaiserism with
its horrors and insincerity.
Germany will doubtless with
hold the message from her press,
but it will nevertheless reach the
nation by aeroplane couriers to q
limited degree. Preparation for
this distribution is now under way.
Virtually Russia's Idea.
Senators and diplomats hailed
President Wilson's message en-
Enthusiastically. All agreed he could
do no less than spurn the pope's
proposals, based on return to the
status quo-and its possibilities of
letting Germany prepair for anotli-
er outrage against the world.
Diplomats = particularly the
Russian-pointed out that the an
swer is virtually Russia's program
no forcible annexations; no
punitive indemnities; free devel-
opment of all nations, and no
economic war against the war.
Even more important, insofar as
peace prospects is concerned, is
the announcement that the presi-
dent desires no dismemberment OF
empires; that this is no war to
crush Germany as a nation; but
rather to put her on an equal

'The most momentcus lottery i.l history" is how dispatch describes the coming draft of e,igibles for the army from the 9,250000 on the regis tered rolls of honor.'
 It will be just that.
 There will be more eligibles thar the nation can use in her armies of civilization. Consequently the lottery must be utilized, leaving the final choice to fate.
 So much we know. But the modus operandi of the preliminaries and the conduct of the draft business as d whole is not yet decieed upon. The reason is that some scheme must he devised that will make the plan political proof"
 This is essential. There must be no fraud, no scandal, no suggestion of unfairness.

It is rather startling to learn that the people in England, which is sup posed to be on the verge of starva- tion and which imports practically it's entire supply of food, are paying less for potatoes and flour, and only few cents more per pound for bacon and other meat than prices the peo- pie of this country are being held up for.

Improvement on "skts."

An increase of several yards fin the jump of ski-runners is rather sur- prising result of the process of metal lizing objects by means Of q spray. In Switzerland, coating of aluminium of the thickness of thin cardboard is be- ing applied to the ski-biades by this method, and this not only adds greatly to the durability of tue bearing surface but 1t also very materially lessens friction, and tends further % prevent caking of snow on the blades. It is the diminished friction that lengthens the jump.
