WAR MUST GO ON

That the peace proposals of the pope
will be given respectful consideration
by all the governments concerned in
the war is not to be doubted. Whether
any formal reply will be made TO them
remains to be seen. 1t is more than
probable that the Teutonic govern
ments will respond in some manner,
and it is likely that they will approve
the basis suggested. But it may be
considered quite certain that the Unit
ed States and entente allies will re-
iect the proposals or courteously de-
cline to discuss them. The pope, no
doubt, is actuated by an honest desire
to restore peace. But so are all of us.
There is not a government concerned
in this war that does not now yearn
for peace. Paradoxical as it may
seem it is peace we are fighting for,
and we cannot stop fighting until we
have assurance of a peace that will
be lasting. To stop the war now, un-
der the conditions suggested by the
pope, would be to end it with no such
assurance. The thing we have arisen
to destroy because it is actively and
potently inimical to civilization, to
freedom and to humanity, would re-
main unscathed and in effect triumph
ant. All the blood that has been shed
by the nations arrayed against the
| Teutonic empires ~ould have been
shed in vain. All the vast, vast treas
ure that has been spent by them in
the prosecution of the war would have
been spent in vain. All the glorious
principles for which they are fighting,
the fundamental principles upon which
the future progress of the world de-
pends, yea, the principles upon which
Christianity depends, would be de-
feated.
This is not war on our part for
political advantage, for territorial ex-
tension, for pecuniary profit or fol
personal or national aggrandizement
and the peace that we demand and
must have cannot be founded upor
| these things. 1t is fight for the es.
tablishment of principles and these
principles must be finally and perma-
nently established before the war car
come to an end. The acceptance Of
the pope's terms, as they are nov
outlined, would mean virtually res
toration of the status quo ante
i would mean that we would end where
we began, but weakened, impoverish
ed adm debased by fruitless strug
gle. at was the status quo ante ou
Of which this iniquitous war ISSUED
forth" said President Wilson in hi
message to the Russian people; "tht
power of the imperial German govern
ment within the empire and its wide
, spread domination and influence out
\ side, of that empire. That statu
must be altered in such fashion as t.
1 prevent any such hideous thing from
/ happening again" That status ha
not been altered, nor do the pope
proposals suggest its alteration. Tn
q war must go on. The conditions up
/ on which a permanent peace may b
, founded have not yet arrived. Tn
colossal conflice is new birth o
i mankind. We cannot let it die in tn
FL womb. rs

Coal Mines Do Their Bit

So much is being said about the shortage of bituminous coal, and the general public realizes sof little the important gains in output made bN the operators under trying conditions, last summer, over all previous rec olds, that tfe statement just fsued by the United States geological sur vey, department of the interior, ol 1916 is particularly timely. In com menting on this report, prepared by the statisticians of the geological sur Ney, Director Geo. Otis Smith points out that the shortage is not due to the failure of the soft coal mines to produce more coal than in the past, for the country on September l was atount a month ahead of last year in output and is expected to finish the year with an increase of 10 per cent over 1916, the banner year, and of 2J per cent over 1915.
 The tremendous increase in manu- featuring and transportation activity this year has created q demand for soft coal in excess of any in the past, all increase in demand that is diff cult to measure in terms of tons but that is certainly more than the the 10 per cent by which production was increased. To meet this demand tla mines have been producing soft coal at a rate never before equalled In the second week of July, 1917, tn, average daily production was more than 1.9e0000 tons, the highest point ~0t attained: in the middle of An"

Check on High Grading

High grading should not be the popular remunerative pastime that il was for many years now that tn,
 law passed bv the Colorado legisla- ture, having for it's object the elimi-
 nation of ore bandits, is in operation,
 says the Daily Mining and Financial
 Record Denyer). Under the provi-
 sions of this law it is unlawful fol any person, whether acting for him. self or as agent for another, to sell or purchase any ores, concentrates, amalgams bearing gold, tungsten, vanadium, uranimum, molybdenum or ! other rare minerals gold dust, gold
 or silver bullion, nuggets or speci- mems of q value of $10 or more, un- | less at the time of the sale the vendor shall sign and deliver to the | purchaser a memorandum in which he shall state the date of the sale, his
 residence. the nature and amount of
 the article sold, the source from
 which the vendor obtained the same and the consideration actually paid i Every person required to receive 3 memorandum shall preserve the same 1 for one year, so that at any reason able time it may De inspected.
 [ With this very comprehensive law ! in effect there is no excuse for any innocent purchasers" getting mulcted ! And any man who might obtain ore through high grading channels, would have to go on record, and in doing SC
 would furnish testimony for bis owr certain conviction, The law evidently
 was formulated by men who were determined to make high grading |
 hazardous occupation; and they seen
 to have succeeded in their purpose.

All day Saturday members of Kous-
since Chapter. D. A. r., and other
friends were calling on Mrs. Lydia
Wilson at the home of Mrs. Cert
rude A. Choate at 1877 Northern ave-
nue. and showered her with congrat-
ulations, flowers, and other remem-
ORANGES of the 101st birthday of this
real daughter of the American Rev.
olution, to which distinction but one
other Maine woman can lay claim.
Throughout the day there came also
by mail post cards and messages ex-
pressing the love and congra tulations
of the senders. Wonderfully active in
mind and body Mrs. Wilson was able
to derive full pleasure from the occa>
sion.
Blessed with remarkable memory
Mrs. Wilson takes keen enjoyment in
reciting long poems which she learned
many years ago. Also to the delight
of her listeners she relates various
anecdotes of the Revolutionary as told
her by her father, and of the war of
1912, as told her by acquaintance of
her early youth.
