twenty-five Cent Stores
Seventh Anniversary

John c. Soutter, owner of the 1c
to 25c Department store, is celebtat-
ing the seventh anniversary of the
opening of the store with a special
sale which will begin tomorrow
morning and continue until Saturday
of next week.
This institution which opened here
seven years ago has enjoyed an en-
viable growth. The business of the
first year has been doubled and
trebled, and the addition of new de-
partments and enlargement of old
departments has been found neces-
sary from time to time.
Recently announcement was made
that Mr.. Soutter had purchased the
building in which the business is
conducted and that the same would
be enlarged by the addition of two
stories In the rear. This work has
been under way for some time and
is rapidly being pushed to compile
ton, to afford as quickly as possible
the much needed additional floor
space which the growing business de-
mands.
Full particulars regarding the
Seventh Anniversary sale which be-
gins tomorrow, will be found on
another page of this paper.

Federal Agents Round
Up Traitors and Plan
to Seek Out Slackers

Washington, May 80. Despite
anticonscription agitation in many
cities, which Department of Justice
officials suspect as German propa-
ganda, the department expects virtu-
ally all me between the ages of 81
anu 80, inclusive. to register for the
war draft next Tuesday. To insure
this, further steps were taken to-
day looking to the prosecution of
persons seeking to hinder registra-
ton plans and to the detection of
those who may avoid registering.
Criminal action is likely to be taken
against slackers and United States
marshals and attorneys have instruc-
tions to watch closely for indications
of antiregistration conspiracies and
to assure the protection of registrars.

PRESIDENT WILSON AND PEACE.

President Wilson at this moment possesses
more power than any man on earth-not excluding
the rulers of any of the belligerent nations. For
upon him, by mutual consent, devolves the respOn-
sibility of formally answering the peace proposal
of Pope Benedict.
England and France have answered-inform-
lily, through the mouths of statesmen. Premier
Lloyd-George, for instance, made an informal
speech lin which he Informally declined the pope's
offer. But word later came over the cables that
the entire allied attitude toward the Holy Sees
suggestions would be left in the hands of our
president.
We are assured that the president will not re-
ply hastily nor informally, but will carefully weigh
every word and announce to the world the exact
status of the allied and American attitude toward
peace now or later.
1t is certain that the reply of the president,
though sympathetic with the humanitarian desire
for peace as expressed by the pope, will turn it
aside for the present, but will offer a constructive
basis on which peace can be built later.
This Constructive basis may be a diplomatic
term that might mean an early peace or another
year of war. The possibility is, of course, that
the central powers and the pope may construct"
an Interpretation upon the presidents words that
might be fruitful of an early end to the bloodshed
with Justice for all" as is so frequently quoted.
The president, it is certain, will not consent
to peace now except on a plan insuring safety for
democracy in the future. 1t may be that the
constructive basis" the president has in mind
might be an aid and comfort to the dissatisfied
masses in Germany and thus bring about that
pressure from within the central power that is
the surest guaranty for an early termination of
the war. g 4%
The president, of course, technically will frame
his answer to the pope as coming from America
alone, thus basing the reply to the specific peace
suggestions made to this government. Diploma
tically we cannot answer for our allies and will not,
but practically re can and will. This is evident
from the fact that the presidents answer will
come only after repeated conferences with allied
representatives in Washington and by cable with
the allied governments in their capitals.
