which are. of course, unacceptable. The Kaiser suggests that payment shall be made by the Central Powers for part of the war damage" This offer is not so important in itself. But 1t Is an indication of a movement to prepare his own people for the in- evitable. Not very long ago the mere suggestion to withdraw from Belgium would have been assailed with severe criticism from military supporters throughout Germany, but the current offer seems hardly to have attracted widespread attention. But one by one these little evidences are creeping out showing that the subject of peace is being systematically worked out. By spring our own country will have an army abroad capable of striking in most decisive manner-an army com- posed of men fresh and fit in body and spirit, well equipped and eager to do their full part in the struggle for democracy. Opposed to them will be armies worn out by more than three years of service with equipment that has necessarily depreciated, with poorly fed troops who know that their families are in want and in misery. The Kaiser and his advisers know as we'll as they know anything that these are conditions which they cannot suc- cessfully meet. It seems quite fair to believe that as intelligent men they will leave no stone unturned to pre- vent an issue that can have but one result. We are approaching fairly close to the termination of the 1917 campaign. The British and French and Italian troops may be expected to continue even after the winter sets in their work of attrition, which will wear down the enemy and make the Entente forces, as reinforced by our strong and vigorous American army, ready for a final attack in the spring. This will occur unless the Kaiser in the meantime shall recognize the fu- tility of keeping up the unequal fight, when his submarine and other forms of frightfulness, which he has so con- fidently relied upon, have been fully tried and found wanting.

 Eliminated by Freshmen.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 29.-Secret practice, the one big bogie of under graduate Harvard, has passed tenn porarily out of existence with the knell of varsity football. Daily work Iehind closed gates, which usually starts the first week in October and continues until the final week of the season, will have no place in fresh man football, which is being played at Harvard this fall.

 "A liberal deputy correctly stated that the attitude of the imperial gov ernment as regards it's war aims was clearly explained in my answer to the Papal note. The peace resolu- tion of July 19, was expressly men, toned in this reply, and further ex- planation thereof is unnecessary.

cause the ruling asked for was upon
a matter not raised by the plaintiff
The case attracted considerable at

cd that Tilton drew up an agreement,

MY Merrill and get his opinion and
communicate il tn her and If the at
torney thought If legal TO do so, she
would enter into the proposed agree
ment.
According to Mrs. Smiths testimony,
the defendant told her that the at
torney said she had he right to enter
into the agreement and she paid over
the $500. Mrs. Smith later learned, ac-
cording to her testimony, that Mr.
Merrill mad not ADVISED the defend
ant as claimed and the suit was
brought to recover the $500. At the
trial the defendant testified that At
