KAISER IN PROCLAMATION
SAYS "IT'S FIGHT TO END
and Revealed Plan to Crush Ger
many and EnsIave Europe.

Amsterdam, JAN Is. The Allies
purpose to crush Germany and enslave
Europe is now made clear; but as they
have failed in 80 months of bloody
war and "unscrupulous economic"
fighting to subjugate the Teutonic pow
ers, so will their future efforts fail.
Kaiser Wilhelm thus summed up his
belief of the Allies position in a
proclamation to the German people.
In it he declares his people were
"ready for all sacrifices" and asserted
his confidence in full victory over all
the enemy's lust for power and rage
for destruction"

Mexico City Removes Cause for

American joint commission, which fail.
ed to effect an adjustment of the ques.
tions at issue between Mexico and the
United States after series of con.
ferences that began four months ago,
has been formally dissolved.
Secretary of Interior Lane and the
other members Of the American com.
mission, DR.. J. R. Mott and Judge
George Gray, told the Mexicans that
they had recommended to President
Wilson the dispatch to Mexico Of Am
bassador Fletcher and the withdrawal
Of American troops from chihuahua.
Up to Wilson Now.
The Americans impressed upon the
Mexicans that with the dissolution of

were careful not to leave in the minds
Of the Mexicans the conviction that
President Wilson would accept the rec
ommendation that an accredited diplo-
mat be sent to Mexico and that Gen

but the intimation that he would do
SO was conveyed
All Agree to Quit
The American commissioners ex.
planned to the Mexican representatives
that they regarded further discussion
by them of international questions i'm
practicable. Twice General Carranza
had refused to ratify the protocol at
Atlantic City. n. J., in which condi-
tons for the withdrawal of troops had
been made.
It was pointed out to them that the
maintenance of an ambassador in Mex

national questions pending or any that

with the dissolution of the commission,
the President would be free to act in

by the presence in Mexico of an Amer

Warned Against Future Raids.
No direct reference was made in the
final session to what the attitude of
the United States would be in the
event the American troops are with.
drawn and new raids across the Dor
der by Mexicans are made, but neither
was there any modification made In
the warning of Secretary Lane that &C.

OPPORTUNITIES
THAT ARE MISSED
Why Wait? Why Not Go to West
ern Canada NoW7

The writer has frequently heard the
remark that latter the war We will go
to Western Canada" 1t does not Oc-
cur to those making the remark that if
they wish to secure lands in Western
Canada, whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time to go Is now. After
| the war the welcome will be just as
hearty as ever, but the chances are
that land values will increase and to-
day homesteads are plentiful and land
is reasonable in price. There Is no
question about what the land in Mani
tOba, Saskatchewan and Alberta Will
do, what it will give under proper Gull
tivation.
Farmers in Western Canada are pay
ing for their land holdings with the
proceeds of last years crop. That this
is no idle statement may be CLEANED
from the three following items, which
are picked out at random:
''In the spring of 1916 a half-section
Of land was offered for sale at $500
per acre. There were 1O5 acres OF

owner could not at the time find a
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
of 40 bushels per acre, 1920 bushels
all told, grading No. l, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was sold
(Which was very early In the season,
before grain prices advanced to round
about $2.0O) was SLIGO, which brought
the handsome total of $6,72O.0O. Three
hundred and twenty acres at $17.W
equals $4,000, so that buyer, by
placing less than half of the whole
under crop, would have made profit
Of $1,2S0.00." - Robson Messenger,
Robson, Sask.
"That the Indiana Boys farm this
year raised sufficient crop to pay for
the land, all the machinery and all
overhead expenses as well as make
handsome profit, Is the information
given by n. B. Davis, the manager.
The wheat yield was over $4,000 bush
els. Of twelve cars already sold, nine
graded No. 1, and Mr.. Davis has sold
over 1000 bushels locally for seed at
$500. Naturally, when he gets to In.
diana he will be big booster for AL.
berta. "-Bassano Mail, Bassano, Alta.
oscar Castalor, who bought land at
Blusson after the crop had been put
in last spring, for $3,8OOOO, has
threshed 5000 bushels Of wheat, which
Is worth at present prices about
$4,000. He refused an offer Of
100000 for the land after the crop
had been taken off. "-Lethbridge Her
aid, Lethbridge, Alta.
Reports from the wheat fields are
highly encouraging and show that the
wheat crop Of many farmers in West
ern Canada was highly satisfactory.
CoblenZ, Sask.-W. A. Rose has
threshed an average of 33 bushels per
acre and s3 bushels Of oats.
Gleiehen, Alberta.-Up to date 237,-
S12 bushels Of grain have been received
by local elevators, Of which nearly
10000 bushels were wheat. Seventy
one cars of grain have already been
shipped.
Stoop Creek, Sask.-James McRae
has threshed 5,4OO bushels of grain.
1000 bushels of which were wheat,

averaged "a bushels per acre, and a

STRONG WORDS THESE

"The object Of this war is to de-
liver the free people of the world from
the menace and the actual power of a
vast military establishment control
led by an irresponsible government,
which, having secretly planned to
dominate the world, proceeded TO
CARRY the plan out without regard to
the sacred obligations of treaty or the
long established practices and long
cherished principles Of international
action and honor; which chose its own
time for the war; delivered its blow
fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no
barrier either Of law or Of mercy;
swept a whole continent within the
tide Of blood--not the blood Of SOL

women and children; also Of the help

THE FINAL WORD

The answer of President Wilson Il
the peace proposal of the Pope not
merely speaks the word and the pur.
pose of the united American people
but it is also the final word Of West
ern civilization to that system of bar
barism which dominates and controls
the German Empire. If one were to
seek an historical parallel it might be
found in the ultimate decision Of the
nations allied against Napoleon in
1914 to make no war upon the French
people and to make no peace with
Napoleon. Then Europe recognized
that peace with Napoleon still power
ful was futile. Now the Western
world clearly perceives that peace
with those who control Germany at
present, as they have controlled it in
all the terrible recent years, will be a
mockery and truce.
When Germany assailed the world
three years ago, after forty-three
years Of preparation, she tore up
treaties which bound her national
honor; she defed the restraints Of
humanity and the conventions Of civ
i!ization; she murdered the weak ma
ton and the helpless child with equal
readiness; and she sought by every
crime and by every utilization Of force
to achieve world power and world
domination and to found magnifed
German Empire upon the ruin Of
European liberty and the destruction
Of Western civilization.
This assault was halted at the
Marine and broken at Verdun There
