TALK OF SEPARATE PEACE
Yondon, March 29.-Gen. Nivelle
was driving his wedge with sledge
hammer blows against Germans
today north of La Fere, and at the
same time, by hot pursuit, forging
another such wedge at Laon. Most
bitter fighting is centering around
point of this second wedge near st.
GObain forest.
Holland dispatches today detailed
reports of two German moves of ex-
ceeding interest to military critics.
One was that Germans were prepar-
ing for shortening their lines by
Withdrawals in Alsace, particularly
MuelhOUse. Second was that Berlin
had made tentative offers of separate
peace to Russia, terms to include au-
tonOmy for Poland, internatiOnaiza-
ton of Constantinople, Russian dom
ination of Armenia, and in return,
Russian evacuation of Austrian ter

COLLEGE COURSE OPENS

Last Friday evening the opening
number of the college lecture course
was held in the auditorium with a
large crowd in attendance. AS a mu-
steal event it was one that the music
lovers of the city will remember with
pleasure. and to the one who had no
technical knowledge of the art it was
also a delight. The Hayden Quar-
tette," and the numbers of which
Mendelssohn and Hartman were the
authors were the selections that of
course appealed the most to the edr-
Gated musician. While the Indian
Dances" we're the ones that perhaps
had the most appeal to the music low
er who is not so highly educated. No
doubt there were criticisms that could
be made of the work OF the Zoellner
Quartette, but the person who just
likes music because 1t has a pleasing
effect upon him, their playing was a
perfect delight and a thing Of Joy.

Var Haar was the part of the pro
gram that really met with the most
applause. The lady has a lovely
voice, and she also knows how to
handle it in a manner that brings out
the sweetness and meaning of the
composer. She has no affectation, be-
ing natural and charming, and in her
rendition of the negro songs of Bur-
leigh, the negro composer, she showed
the beauty of a singing and an acting
voice well blended. One thing that
made the singing so well appreciated
was the admirable accompaniment of
Miss Burrows. State college has a
most wonderful accompanist in Miss
Burrows and the singers who do well.

fully give her some of the credit.
The musicale was an suspicious
opening of the college course and
gives promise that the entire list of
numbers will be entertaining.

HUBBARD-SW ERING

Last evening at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Swering, occurred the marriage of
Miss Lucy May and Hollis P. Hub
bard. The Rev. w. A. Mast, Of the
Presbyterian church used the ring SER
vice in making these young people
man and wife. Only relatives of the
contracting parties and a very few in
innate friends were present. After
the ceremony a very elegant supper
was served to the guests, and the even
ing was spent in wishing the best Of
a future happiness to the bridal pair.
Both of these young folks are well
known in the city, where they have
grown up. They have a host of warm
friends among the young people and
are very popular. Mr.. Hubbard is an
experienced electrician and is giving
splendid service to the city in the
telephone service. He is a hard work
er and works for the city as hard as
he would for himself. That is as high
a compliment as we can pay to any
man.. after watching public servants
all over the country. Lucy Swering
will make him a fine wife as she has
been brought up in a good home and
by a mother whose reputation as a
housewife is known all over the city.
II a home is what wife makes it, as
some author has said, then the home
of this young couple should be one of
the %happiest. The Register joins their
friends in wishing them a long and
happy life.

ANOTHER A MOVE

The new agreement. just entered
into between the United States and
Japan, is a move in the direction OF
a world peace. 1t is made at a time
we see that such agreements will
stand for a peaceful solution of the
questions that will arise after the
present war. 1t is an agreement that
gives strength to our own idea of for
eign meddling in the affairs of the con
tinents of North and South America.
1t stands for the independence of
South American republics, as we'll as
for the independence of China and the
countries Of Asia. 1t is the first step
toward a concert of the powers of de-
mocracy in the establishment of all
governments, be they great or small.
In u recognition of the interests of
Japan in her adjacent n~eighbors we
only give her the same rights, which
wes have demanded for years under
the Monroe doctrine as to the treat
ment of our neighbor nations on these
two continents. We are taking the
advanced ground in this agreement, as
to the integrity of national life, that
will be taken by the concert of ma
tions when the ultimate peace of the
world is made. In this agreement we
stand. by implication. for the mainten-
ance of all nations as the peoples
thereof demand, and it is this very
idea that will be made the basis of
the settlement at the end Of the war
for a peace that will mean something
to the little nations as well as the big,
ger ones. This is the biggest work
of American diplomacy since the days
Of John Hay, and deserves the recos.
milton of the nation as craftsmanship

in making the principles for which
we are fighting the dominant factors
in the settlement Of the present strife.

predictions and proceed on their way.
The government essays to forecast the
weather twenty-four hours ahead and
its predictions are IS to 80 per cent
good and are much more reliable than
those of the average amateur fore
caster. The mistake that many make
Is, that the flags as displayed show
the present days weather conditions.
If that were so there would be no
need of having a weather bureau.
There are some things, however,
about the weather that we may reas-
onably expect to happen every year
and many times in the year. Old set
tiers expect a season of fine weather
following the first cold spell, or
"squaw winter" in October or the first
Of November. This is called Indian
summer" They say that it is easily
recognized by the air being filled with
minute spider webs and flecks of the
same, in which are concealed tiny
gossamer spiders floating off to new
locations for the winter. They are
spider airplanes as it were and answer
the needs of the diminutive builders.
The season may last three days or
three weeks. After Indian summer is
over we may expect unsettled wealth
er. A close observer Of weather con.
ditions was heard to remark recently
that when the jack rabbits take on
their coats of white we may know that
real winter weather has come to stay
and that we may govern ourselves ac-
cordingly. So 1t is that nature pro
vides some infallible warnings, if we
shall only study and heed them.

WE PAY THE PRICE

American soldiers have been slain
and captured on the front in France.
American sailors in our navy have
gone to the bottom from a German
torpedo, Blood Of our blood and flesh
Of our flesh have been laid on the altar
Of liberty. We are now feeling the
same feelings that have for three
years and more filled the hearts Of
the French and English. Is ii posi-
BILE that this attack on the manhood
of America will permit the growth of
the spirit Of ~disloyalty to the flag? Is
it possible that the pro-German ideas
Of such men as LaFollette and Hill
quist will find more followers at this
time? Is it possible for n man who
realizes his duty to the country that
fail her in the hour Of suffering?
This Is now a personal as well as
a national question. 1t is brought
home to the people Of nearly every
state in the union by the death of sons
of the different commemorative.
South Dakota escapes in these two
calls for victims that have been made,
but we cannot tell the day or the hour
when we will have to give up loved
ones to the hungry nav Of the rapa-
cious German Moloch. When the
heart strings OF our neighbors are be-
ing torn and their homes broken up
by the cruelties of war, is it possible
that we will sit still and impressive
under the strain. This is the first
ripple Of the storms that are to fol-
low. The first premonition of the suf-
1t is the time when we must nerve
ourselves to bear all that the ruthless
hand of the war god will demand from
us as a nation and a peace loving peo-
pie. 1t Is another and deeper call to
arms to the support Of the principles
for which we live, which We love. and
on wnlcn our nation was IL
Is a call to give and to do all that
we can, in supporting u government
in the great struggle for life. II we
should by any chance fail, we will
suffer in proportion to the lack OF
support which we give the III OF
world freedom. We have now paid the
first small installment on the human
price of war. the next one will be
greater. Courage and determination
must be growing in the hearts OF every
citizen. victory for the right must be
our aim. And the only way that this
can be made possible is through the
support of the president to the very
last drop Of our blood and the very
last ounce Of our strength. Now Is the

that the idea is more in accord with
the urban sentiment than with the
rural view of life. This may keep the
country people longer in coming to
that view of the subject, or it may do
just the opposite, spur them on to
emulating the New York vote. Any
way that you look at it, it is a great
victory for equal suffrage. 1t is en-

list of a maru steamer in port can be
taken as a criterion. There are only

these are Americans. Most Of them
