Death Of An Old friend,

Deafh Of An Old FFfen9,
The old years brought lot Of things
I've wished he hadn't brought.
I've sometimes thought he might have sparet
Some lessons that he's taught,
And jet. to see the end draw near.
He's been pretty good old year.
Hes mixed the good luck with the bad.
The pleasure with the pain.
The hope and faith along with grief,
The sunshine with the rain;
Upon reelection II 10 clear
He's been . pretty good old year
The old years like our other friends.
Their faults We always know,
But often fail 70 see the good
Until they're going togo:
Aud then. At last, they seem rs dear
As this old kindly. dying year

Bainsizza plateau, on the slopes Of
Monte San Gabrielle and on the Carso.
Rome officially reports that the Ital-
ians are In undisputed possession Of
the initiative, pressing the Hapsburg

PEACE PARTY Meeting
Force to Be Used If Necessary to Pre-
vent Gathering OF "Pacifists" At
Sioux Falls Convention.

Pierre. S. D., Sept. 10.-State Sher-
iff Shanks. acting upon instruction Of
Governor Norbeck, telegraphed Sheriff
Carleton, of Minnehaha county, to pre-
vent the proposed state meeting of the
Peoples Council of America for De-
mocracy and Terms of Peace, SEIZED
uled to open in Sioux Falls Septem-
Der IL.
Sheriff Shanks announced that the
state constabulary would be ready to
be drawn upon if necessary to use
force in preventing the meeting Of the
council. The holding of such con-
ference, he declared, was considered
as tending to embarrass the govern
ment and to incite rioting.
The governor has instructed the
state sheriff to prohibit any gathering

GERMAN PEOPLE WANT
PEACE BY CANCELLATION
Chancellor Urged to Discredit Present
Pan-German Maneuvers for "A
Hindenburg Peace"

Amsterdam, Sept. 10. = The over
whelming majority of the German peo-
pie are for a peace by Cancellation,
according to an article by Phillip
Scheidemann published in the Vor-
waerts. The article urges sthe imper-
ial chancellor to discredit the pres
emit pan-German maneuvers for "a
Hindenburg peace"
The Socialist leader says no one in
Germany wants peace at any price,
but that those who live with the peo-
pie know the real feelings of the army
and navy. They know Germany will
defend herself to the last drop of
blood and at the same time, they know
also that Germany is ready today to
sign a. conciliatory peace. Therefore,
Herr Scheidemann considers that the
propaganda for conquest now being
preached reaches the limit of con-
sciencelessness.
