owe offer our hand for an
honest peace, said Prince Lich-
tenstein, "but if it is rejected we
shall seize the sword which as
hitherto. with Gods help, will
decide in our favor. "
Councillor Kunschok followed
with an eloquent speech in the
same tenor and was frequently
applauded.
"We are assembled" said the
councillor, to declare how warm
and glowing are our longings for
peace. But the leading men in
enemy states must be warned
against drawing false conclusions
from this admissions. We
want peace but not at any price.
We demand peace in the
name Of Europe, which is sinking
to exhaustion while her competi-
tors are waxing fat
Expressing suspicion Of Presi-
dent Wilson's demand for a de-
mocratized Europe, because
America herself was far from real
democracy, Councillor Kunschok
concluded his address after a ire
mendous ovation, by praying for
blessings On the peace exertions
of Pope Benedict and Emperor
Charles.

WHAT WOMEN'S REGISTRA-
TION ON OCTOBER II
REALLY MEANS.
Registration Of women. -

Registration Of women.
Those three apparently innocent
words seem to have aroused as
much excitement among the wo-
men Of the country as did the dec
laration of war itself, and to have
been the victim Of as many mis-
representations as are claimed by
some of our senators. All kinds
of reports are circulating, that
timid housewives and mothers
will be taken from their homes to
serve as spies in Germany or as
Red Cross nurses at the thickest
point Of the fray; that women
conveniently light Of weight will
be conscripted for aviatrices--
one is apt to hear anything and
everything.
If such reports come to your
ear, do not be satisfied with ig-
noring> them, asks Miss Hilda
Phelps, state chairman Of the
committee on the registration OF
women, and Miss Bertha VOL
brette, state secretary, but do
your best to correct them i'm
mediately. October II, every reg
istration booth will have in a
conspicuous place simple set
of explanations and directions,
but in the meantime, here are the
facts plainly outlined by Miss
Wolbrette.
Registration is required, not
compulsory, and service is en-
firely voluntary. The whole
scheme is merely a practical, bus
inesslike method by which the
government is put in touch with
the women and the women IN
touch with the government for
mutual benefit.
All women physically able are
nequired by the state to register
