DUAL MONARCHY IS
 READY FOR HONORABLE
 PEACE; RULER SAYS
(By Review Leased wire)

| AMSTERDAM, Dec. GA dispatch ! received here from Vienna quotes Emperor Charles of AustriaHungary as saying in an address to an Ausiro- German delegation that the dual mon- archy is ready at any time to con clude peace that would guarantee the | integrity of the monarchy. He added, however, that his country would not cease fighting until its enemies re- nounced their intentions of dismem- bering it.
 The glorious successes of our armies and fleet" said Emperor Charles. fill us with patriotic pride. After a glorious defense of our posi- tions We are now. as before, ready at any time to conclude an honorable peace which guarantees the existence and integrity of the monarchy.
 Guided by this idea. we greeted with joyful satisfaction the noble minded intervention of the pope, and will in the future neglect TO oppor- tunity to end as soon as possible the costly struggle and great sacrifice the war is causing.
 In the SDlTlI OI lueSe lnleullOuS our government has declared its readiness to accept the Russian gov ernments invitation to enter into ne gotiations for a general peace. May the blessings of the Almighty rest upon this work for peace and restore the peoples of Europe to a state os reconciliation and mutual trust.
 "The sorely tried Russian people may be sure that we sincerely desire to restore our former friendly rela- tions with them.
 "On the other hand. we must re- gard it our sacred duty not to lay down the sword which plunder-seek- ing and rapacious neighbors forced into our hands until our enemies un- equivocally have disavowed their mad plans of dismemberment and oppres- sion.
 We will remain the masters in our land and house. Our alliance with the German empire has been glori- ously strengthened by our victorious march southwest. Our most cordial and fraternal relations bind us to the progressive Bulgarian people. I con fiently hope a period of fresh pros perity and secure development awaits the closely allied Ottoman empire"

CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS
BY JULIAN STREET

The established government is the
nearest thing we have to the ideal
of Democracy. Not everyone is pleased
with the established government. New
ertheless we must defer to the laws
enacted by it, because those laws rep
resent, as nearly as We can get at it,
the will of majority Of the people.
Though it is a very sad thing, there
fore. to think Of the possibility that a
man with sincere scruples against
becoming soldier may yet be called
upon to become a soldier, a few cases
of this kind are of very little impor-
tance as compared with the necessity
for general obedience to laws enacted
by the peoples chosen representatives
for the safety of the country and of
the democratic form of government
Were this government a merciless
autocracy l should be concerned as to
the fate of the Quakers, and such. un-
der the draft; but this government is
far from merciless. Those highest in
authority are. in many instances,
themselves pacifists. or former paci-
fists. Their errors have been on the
side of pacifism rather than on that of
Militarism has never been
a danger to this country-from within.
Our danger has always been of pre-
cisely the opposite character. In
all our wars we have suf-

bornness and stupidity in confusing
he idea of preparedness with that

Christine"

Christine" a first novel by Alice
Cholmondeley, is the sensation of the
midsummer fiction season A second
edition was required Immediately aft
er its appearance, and the sale has
been so rapid the publishers believe
further printing will soon be neces-
sary
There have been a great many nov
els which have portrayed the coming
OF the war TO England or the reaction
of the French to the great conflict
which now occupies the attention of
the whole world, but Christine" is
the first to interpret the German state
of mind at the beginning of the strug-
gle. This is, no doubt, one reason for
its immediate success. A stronger
reason lies in its great naturalness.
The novel tells of the experiences of
young English girl who goes TO Ber-
lin to study violin playing under a
great German master The pursuit of
her profession is rudely interrupted
by the declaration of war and she is
forced to fee the country. What hap
pens to her, both before war comes
and after, comprises very interesting
narrative which gives the reader new
insight into German character.
Another distinction of this novel is
the great fidelity with which the char
acters are drawn. At the humble pen
sion of Frau Berg Christine comes
into intimate contact with represen-
tatives of the great German .aiddle
class. whose hatred of England and
lust for world dominion are vividly
brought out. Through her master
Christine is also introduced into the
home of noble Prussan family, and
here the guiding spirit which directs
the popular war fever is revealed. The
story unfolds before a background of
delirious crowds in the streets, and
the cheering of endless masses of
troops on their way to the long-de-
sired war. Only the character of the
young lieutenant of the Uhlans, whose
pure and artistic nature stands in |
sharp contrast to his inherited ira
ditions of intrigue and war, is little
Upon the hope that he
also is true to life must be based |
whatever faith one may have in the
early termination of the war and in
the restoration of the German people
to love of peace and life of sani-
ty.

gressive autocratic militarism in 9th.
er nations-nations whose ideals are
so opposed to ours that it is impos-
sible for their ideals and ours to
exist, at the same time, in the same
world-our government consistently
refused to prepare for war. In face
| of the present war in Europe it re-
fused to prepare. In face Of repeat
ed aggressions by Germany it re-
fused to prepare. Had this not been
the case we should have been ready,
when we did enter the war, to make
ourselves felt at once, and thereby
to bring the war so much nearer its
end.
The situation in which we find our
selves is indisputably the result of
pacifism. In view of all this. is it
reasonable to suppose that, now that
our peace-lOving government has
found it necessary to go to war, it
will fail to deal as justly and humane
ly as possible with all classes of
American citizens? l think not. /
think that those who are devout con-
scientious ObjectOrs, such as the
Quakers, will be exempted from mill
tary service without difficulty; and
believe, moreover, that Quakers, and
others of similar belief with regard
to war, will, because of their own
self-respect, find other ways in which
10 serve.
The great danger, then, as l see it,
is not that those who should be ex-
empted will fail to obtain exemption,
but that slackers will attempt to OBJ
tain exemption by urging "conscien-
tiOus objection" as an excuse to avoid
duty. All manner of visionaries, SEN
cranks, and persons of |
warped mentality will also, doubtless, |
attempt to obtain exemption on the |
ground of anti-military convictions,
and will, l suppose, attempt to figure
as martyrs when they refuse to be
lrafted and are punished therefor
his in spite of the fact that the man
who refuses to be drafted on the
ground that he is conscientious OBJ
ector," necessarily sets up his own
yiews against the will of the majority
md therefore against Democracy and
lgainst the Government of the United
states.

CASUALTY LIST STARTS AUG. "a

Announcement by Washington Indi.
Gates Troops viii Soon See Battle.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, August 2O.-That
American troops will soon be in the
battle abroad was indicated today
when it was learned the War Depart
ment will start a casualty column"
in the official bulletin August 81.
This is not to be taken as an exact
date for American participation in
the war, however.
The bulletin section reserved for
such lists will be marked mo casual
ties" on days when there are none.
Then, If there are only few casual
ties the column will print the soldiers
name, the organization to which he
belonged and the name of the person
next in kin. If, however, the lists
run heavy, only the soldiers name
and the organization will be given.
A special bureau under Adjutant
General Mccain will check up on the
casualties and maintain an informa-
tion service for inquiring relatives.
An extra crew of telegraph operators
will be engaged.
A stream of soldiers will be sent |
abroad before snow flies. The first
and second rainbow divisions" will
have European training by that time,
while second regular army expedi-
ion is likely to be under way before
winter.
In addition to these units there is
llready one regular division in
france, while scattered units of for
,sters, engineers, aircraft men and
'ther services are already on Euro
'ean soil.

The Peoples Council is an organiza-
ton that is for the most part evidently
alien in memberships far as it has
membership-led by men who have
never been known as labor men,
though some of them have made fran
tic claims to having been labor men
for various reasons. Money evidently
is plentiful. and the work of undoing
America proceeds merrily. American
labor must denounce any such move
ment. and any such foreign propa-
ganda. l suggest that the methods of
the organization are entirely German
in character and that undoubtedly the
kaiser is greatly cheered by the re-
ports he gets of the Peoples Council
activities. We shall do our best to put

SCHOOLS TO GET MORE MONEY!
County Clerk Believes State Will Be
More Liberal With Funds for County

County Clerk Charles w. Davis and
his assistant, Turner Long, are get
ting ready the annual school report to
Uel w. Lamkin, state superintendent
of schools, relative to the amount of
state aid the Boone County schools
will receive this year. They expect
to complete the work in about two
weeks.
The records so far compiled show
that the Boone County enumeration is
1859 persons. The total days of at
tendance last year was S19,934. The
enumeration shows the following
classification: Male whites, 1896; fe-
male whites, 1882; male negroes,
450; female negroes, All. There are
313 more boys than girls of school
age in the county.
Mr.. Davis believes that the county
will receive more state money than
last year. The basis of appropriation
is upon attendance, wealth of dis
tricts and the teachers salaries.
Boone County last year received
$4,000 in state aid for the schools.
The total aid given to school dis
tricts other than their own taxes was
s32,655.
The balance of the money came
from the following sources: $4,724,
county; s1,956, township; SS,279 rail- !
roads, and s6,S91, building purposes.
