WILHELM WILL MAKE
BIG PEACE move

London, Jan. 26.--That Emperor
William plans to make his fifty
eighth birthday tomorrow the oc-
casion for another peace move
with more acceptable terms to the
entente allies--was reported today
from several different sources.
The nearest thing to an Official
hint OF this plan was read In the
speech made yesterday to the Hun
garian parliament by Count Stephen
Tisza, the Hungarian premier.
I'VE are inclined to continue a
further exchange OF views regarding
peace with the United States gov
ernment." was the way the Hungar-
ian statesman putt.
More than usual Significance was
attached today to this intimation, in
view of the fact that Count Tisza Is
supposed to have been one Of the pre-
miers OF the central powers who re-
Gently held conferences at Berlin.
The second rumor came via Switz-
erland and Paris. II purported to
be based on private information from
Germany, and stated that the Ger
man emperor planned to be the
first promoter Of universal peace
and would propose that all parties
meet forthwith to discuss this frst
and principal article OF the wars ter
mination--the reorganization OF fu-
ture peace"
Reports from Holland indicate
that some sort Of a reply to Presi-
dent Wilson's senate speech ia be-
Ing considered by officials in Berlin.
Since the American presidents peace
suggestions and his plans for secur-
ing peace at the end OF the war were
not broached In a formal note, II Ia
conceded that n Germany is to ex-
press her appreciation OF any or all
OF the sentiments he expressed, suci,
approval must be made in a speech

IMMIGRANT LABOR

Washington, Jan. 26.-Renewed
efforts for Americanization Of immi-
grant laborers and a more perfect
assimilation Of immigrant population
was urged today by Walter c. Piper,
OF the National Association OF Real
Estate boards, Detroit. before the Ma
tional Security league here today.
Piper advanced Detroit as the
leader in the Americanization move

Of American cities"
Detroit business men and manu-
facturers, he said, have Joined in a
determined campaign to Americanize
Detroit's $4,000 non-English speaking
aliens.
As a result OF this campaign. he
said. 100 per cent more applications
for naturalization papers were filed
in Detroit in 1915 than the previous
year.
THE immigrant" Piper said. "is
a powerful industrial. social and pol
itical factor-a vital link in our in
dustrial progress. Their assimila-
ton Is not welfare work, but funda-
mental civic necessity"
The Detroit Board Of Education,
Piper said. sympathizing with the
movement. has opened 80 public
night schools in the foreign quarters
where foreigners may learn English
Detroit's employers. under the direc
tion OF the Detroit Board Of Com
merce. In furtherance Of the move
ment, have issued recommendations Il

ToAoRRow's ELECTION


At eight o'clock Saturday morning
the polls win open to receive the bal
lots Of the qualified electors Of the
proposed south-side irrigation dis
trict. There are number Of ap-
parently unjust features in the law
that specifics who may vote at to-
morrov's election. but this fact only
makes the more necessary the getting
out OF every voter that does come
within the qualification. Only land
owners whose names appear upon the
assessment rolls can vote.
While the friends Of irrigation and
Of the project are confident that there
will be enough votes in favor Of the
project to carry 1t through. it is
known that there is some opposition,
especially where other possible pro-
jects may be referred with through
district formation. This is. Of course.
. selfish opposition, and no legitimate
argument against the formation OF
the district has yet been advanced.
If the present attempt to bring
water to the south side lands should
tail. It viii no doubt mean defeat for
irrigation there for many years to
come. Lack Of irrigation will mean
that there can be no agricultural de-
velopment, land values can not in
crease. for ownership Of the lands
without water can not be profitable.
Tomorrow's election is one or great
est moment to the Grants Pass dis
trict. II II succeeds, and the district
formation proceeds. 1t will open up a
great acreage Of excellent lands and
will change conditions in a most rad
ical manner. 1t will make unneces-
sary the shipping in Of hundreds Of
carloads Of hay. for hay can be grown
in rofafion with supar beets Farmers
who have been striving with made
quate irrigation, or with no irrigation
at all, will have cheaper water and
all the water needed. Water sup
piled by gravity such as under the
proposed district is the economical
and sure way.

Masculine Vanity.

Are men vainer than women?
We have often wondered, and
we didn't know exactly how to
express what we felt about it
until Arnold Bennett told us in
"The Meaning of Frocks" in
November Cosmopolitan.
Mr.. Bennett claims that the
haunted look worn by haberdash-
ers comes from the long con-
cealment of a terrible secret
that men are, after all, quite as
fussy as women about their ap-
pearance. We have frequently
pondered over the fact that when
The Winslow mail., 1917-11-02

Perhaps it would be we'll if the
war department put in some time
and energy in instructing the
commissioned officers over the
new army something of their
duty to the men under them. 1t
comes to us from one of the SOL
diers lately in camp at Fort
Riley that on the day there is a
foot inspection, without regard
to the condition of the weather,
the men are called into company
formation, and they stand in
their bare feet awaiting the
pleasure of the army surgeon to
put in appearance, and he comes
leisurely along after time COM
fortably clothed in his army over
coat. The enlisted man is sup
posed to obey the orders of his
superiors, but the superiors
should be instructed that enlist
ed men are not slaves, and some
repect and consideration should
be paid to their comfort if the
morale of the army is to be main
tanned. Young upstarts from
the officers training camps, with
their new glory as commissioned
officers, will very naturally take
the position that they are really
superior to the common soldier,
in fact as we'll as by virtue of his
newly acquired commission, and
want to make the distinction
plain by domineering over the
boy in the ranks. The real con-
dition is that there are better
men in the ranks, in every way
a man can be guaged, than many
of the men who are holding rank
as commissioned officers, but
they lacked the political influence
to get assignments to the train
ing camps. The war depart
ment should commence wedding
out the officers in all branches of
the service whose only concep-
tion of their duty is to strut
around lording it over the SOL
diers in the ranks. They should
be made clearly to understand
that the enlisted seldier is pa
triot and a hero, and not a serf
or slave.

a man buys a cravat or a suit of
clothes he doesn't want shis wo-
men folk around-but when a
woman buys frock or hat she
is always glad to have the COM
pany and criticism of her son or
husband.
And this is because, so Mr..
Bennett says, man has long
cherished and kept the secret of
his inordinate vanity away from
women.
Arnold Bennett always writes
entertainingly and we'll on any
subject he elects, but in "The
Meaning of Frocks" he has writ
ten even more brilliantly than
usual.

Plea to the Householders.

Short food production, waste
full food consumption, the sink
ing of food ships and the hoard
ing of sustenance commodities
by unscrupulous human vultures,
are draining our food reserves,
needed for the maintenance of
our population, our fighting
forces of land and sea and those
of the valiant allies, whose coun-
tries lack normal production ow-
ing to shortage of man power.
The winning of the war is
largely problem as to which side
can best and most quickly organ
ize the stimulation reproduction,
reduction of waste and control
of food prices.
We must meet this demand,
which is beyond our capacity
to do, unless every unnecessary
consumption, every unnecessary
waste, is reduced to the last
degree.
Here is an opportunity for
every man, woman and child to
to do their part to win the war.
Here is the one place in which
we all can serve!
The need of food price control
is proof of insufficient food pro-
duction. We, and with US the
allies must cooperate or collapse.
Arizona supports over sixty
one thousand families. The
United States Food Administra-
tor for Arizona has promised
United States Food Administra-
tor Hoover that he will pledge
forty thousand families in this
State to the elimination of waste
and the substitution of foods
during wartime. Since Arizona
is in this competition of saving
and service with all the States in
the Union, much dependence
must be placed in a prompt re-
sponse to this call for personal
sacrifice on the part of all our
people.
We must begin now and sub
stitute those foods which will re-
lease wheat, meat, fats and
sugar for shipment to our coun-
trymen and allies who are dying
in the trenches that we may en-
JOY the blessings of liberty.
Your attention is therefore
called to the Importance of the
Conservation Pledge Card Cam
paign, running from October
