 A few weeks ago, the president
 of the Committee of Civil Assis- tance, Signor Adolfo ADpolloni, made this appeal to the Italian Minister, Signor Boselh:
 The women deserve the admir-
 ation not simply of Rome but of
 all Italy. Let us pay to women
 the same honors paid to mon who are fighting. Considering that our
 ancestors placed women in the highest positions, surrounding them with the greatest respect
 and privilege in the institution of the Vestal Virgins. we should also give them higher status, that they may with enthusiasm and de-
 votion, minister to the dearest
 and noblest of institutions-our country"

the story were left out. The first

Attempt to Bolster Up
Opinion at Home View
of Chancellor's Address

Washington, July 80. - German
Chancellor Michaelis' peace interview
is regarded at the State Department
as another German attempt to boil
ster up public opinion at home, ap
peal to the peace sentiment in enemy
and neutral countries and create dis
sensions between the allies. At the
Russian embassy it was stated to be
wholly incorrect in fact.
State Department officials say that
while attempts by inuendo to fasten
on France a vast campaign of con-
quest, with the hope of making a
breach with the new Russian demo-
cracy, Michaelis makes no suggestion
that Germany herself has in any way
revised her war program or accepted
the principle of no annexation. The
new attempt at peace is considered
as hollow as the many others which
have always followed a successful of
fensive and which took their most
tangible form in the official German
peace offer of December -. The
maneuver is viewed as similar to the
one which had the purpose of getting
the allies about a conference table
where Germany hoped to instill diff
ferences between them and split up
the alliance. At that time Ambas-

The ordinance to provide neces-

TO build terminal at Walnut

said about presenting the ordinance
at the session. The ordinance has
been approved by the Municipal

were necessary, which may be re-

said.
