WAGE SCALE DISTRIBUTED.
Copies of the Mare Island shipyard
wage scale were distributed to the
conferees today in order that they
might study these wages as possible
basis of settlement. A few days ago
the government announced an increase
of 10 per cent in these wages. 1t Is
estimated the Mare Island scale, If
adopted by the San Francisco ship
yards, would increase the wages of
employees approximately one dollar a
day over the rate paid when they
struck.
Marines are still on guard at the
Union Iron Works, but no more Of
these troops have been brought from
Mare Island navy yard as yet. No
disorder of any kind has been reported
in the city for "a hours. The striking

No attempt has been made by the

GERMAN MOVE EXPECTED.

Germany, however, is expected to
initiate another peace move before
winter. The basis of this is seen in
vague outlines of terms set afloat first
in Washington three weeks ago and
now seeping through the Berlin censor.
These appear to be "feelers" both for
the benefit Of the allies and the Ger
man people. They have been SO con-
fused and in so many cases launches
only to be denied by the German for
eign office when found unacceptable
that no attention is now paid them.

ALLIES HAVE UPPER HAND.

1t is realized by the vatican that the
allies, with Americas vast resources
now thrown into the balance, now have
the upper hand and can wiring from
the central powers a peace acceptable
TO the democracies. Any further
proffers from the pope would be fore
doomed to failure-even as the last
vast was admitted.
Official cables today state that vati-
can circles throw out the suggestion
of an understanding, at least between
England and Italy, that no peace pro-
posals emanating from the vatican
shall be seriously considered and that
when, peace negotiations begin, the
church is not to be admitted into the
pour parlors. These hints go so far as
to say that Italy's entrance into the
war hinged upon acceptance of this
condition two years ago. 1t is added
that this has never been denied by the
allied powers.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Pope Bene-
dict has made his last peace proffer,
according to official cables received
here today. The Holy See believes
the war must go on at least two or
three years more-until the full effect
of Americas vast power has been felt
and either a victory or a hopeless
deadlock in the great struggle reached.
The United Press was informed on
the highest authority today that the
vatican realizes that peace or further
negotiations at present are impossible.
President Wilson'S rejection of the
pope's last peace offer-which rejec-
ton was heartily approved by the al
nes-has convinced the vatican the al
lies want no peace which will leave the
central powers under their present
rulers. No peace is possible-as the
United Press announced semi Of

mutual concessions as suggested by
the pope.

COMPANY NOTES.
Promotions are coming hard and
fast. With the officer personnel con-
siderably undermanned many present
officers have been recommended for
higher rank and commissioned
officers have been boosted to second
lieutenants. A list Of recommended
promotions have been, forwarded from
this division to the War Department
for approval. On an order last Sun
day night, a lot of non-coms were
instructed to appear the following
morning with gold hat cords and
leather leggings on temporary ap-
pointment as commissioned officers.
Redwood Falls citizens will be pleased
to hear that Battalion Sergt. Major

To the north Of Deming are several
mining towns, Silver City, Tyrone and
Hurley, principally prospecting on the
copper and some silver deposits that
richly bulge the surrounding noun
tains.
! wish I might take you on the
trip party of US made recently to
the above named and other towns.
To begin with this is region of dis
tances; one gets nowhere under 35
miles. trip of so miles plus return
is but commonplace and rs miles in
one direction is only mere incon-
venience. Roads on main highways
are well kept, probably without much
supervision for there are few or no
rains in year to soften the dirt and
make pot holes. We drove for miles
over roads closely akin to Minnesota
graveled roads, and over a 14-mile
stretch from Tyrone to Silver City
lifting over the mountains which this
state has so built as to make the
equal of fine city boulevard.
Bridges and culverts are conspicu-
ously missing, for most Of the year
river and creek beds are left rocky,
bare and dry. Along line Of roads
in the hills gullies which cut the
highway are inlaid with cement floors
to prevent further cutting by the
mountain Washings.
Several miles north we passed a
stretch of land purchased several
years ago when this country was in
a boom of attempted exploitation, by
A. G. Spalding, the sporting goods
manufacturer. We were informed
that Mr.. Spalding had put up the lit
tie white shacks scattered widely over
this big tract and in each one had
installed $4,000 worth of pumping
machinery. Later the irrigation pro-
ject failed and fortune in machin-
cry was left to rust away.
It was a long, long trail winding
off into the desert which we had to
follow to reach Tyrone, and parts of
the region constituted veritable
mo Mans Land" Yucca plants, with
their clumps of bayonet-st
leaves and two or three varieties of
cactus thrive in these dreary wastes,
blotching slopes of the foothills and
the roadside like so many ugly scars.
Twenty miles at stretch and there
appeared close to the mountains only
two ranches, with the inevitable ado
bic houses and accompanying wind
mills. Our road constantly lifted in
to a higher altitude. Rather dis
gusted because we did not find the
expected Tyrone at certain turns in
the road, and disgust rather whetted
by hunger which soon gets keen
on desert trip. and by the proba-
bifity that we had taken the wrong
trail at some fork, we were properly
framed in mind to finally arrive. We
literally burst upon the town, even
after warning of its nearness by
a large copper smelter, supposed ad-
jacent to the town. Just over
slight rise in the road we looked up
on the business section and few
rows of miners white cemented homes
nestled. as the books would have it,
nestled close under a mountain spur.
Tyrone like other mining towns is

laboring in the strenuous practise of
throwing bombs and grenades; 1t.
Murphy, a newly assigned officer, is
specializing in the pistol and rifle,
while Sergt. Mowry and H. L. Jordan
are taking a course in automatic
rifles. These courses last from one
to four weeks, and the latter three
require regular attendance 8 hours
day and provide a supervised study
period at night. 1t. Lauterbach, who
has returned from few days visit
in the base hospital, has charge of
the company and supervises the drill
periods. The sergeants in charge of
respective platoons are given full
swing and are showing themselves
mighty capable of their job.
There are numerous vacancies to

How Every American Can Help

Pras;dant Wilson has issued an Address to all the American
people 1.-THE supreme test Of the Nation has come, he said; I'VE
must all speak, act and serve together"
Putting the Navy on a war footing and raising a great Army
the President declared, are the simplest parts of the great task.
Here are the principal points of the Address:
America must furnish food and all other war supplies, not only
for herself, but for all the nations at war with Germany.
We must supply ships to carry all kinds of material across the
ocean, defying submarines.
3APeople who devote "their energy to these things will be serving
the country and conducting the fight for peace and freedom as
effectively as the men in the trenches. The industrial forces of
the country will be a great international service army-the eff
Gent saviors of free men everywhere"
4-"Upon the farmers of this country in large measure rests the
fate of the war"
5-The country expects middlemen and merchants to forego unus-
ual profits.

of wastefulness and extravaganza"
