coIdIy Received At London.

London. = These so-called peace
terms have distinct German flavor"
This reply was given in an authoritat-
i've quarter in London.
The opinion was expressed that the
inspiration for the peace move prob
ably emanated from Austria and was
in the nature of a trial balloon, as
prelude to more definite propositions
from the Central Powers to the
Allies.
"It has long been known to states
men Of the Allied countries that the
Central Powers are eager to conclude
peace on terms of restoration of the
status quo. Therefore there is no
need of any protracted consideration
before saying what the attitude of the
Allies will be. A status quo peace
would be distinctly German peace,
and is the very thing which Presi-
dent Wilson and other American
statesmen have been long emphasizing
as impossible and unthinkable. All
the sacrifices of this terrible war will
have been vain if we do not conclude
peace which will insure the world
against repetition"
Itswas explained that on account
of its nature the note probably would
require no formal answer. 1t is ex
pected informal replies will be deliver
ed by means of speeches in the next
few days by various Allied statesmen,
America Entente's Hope.
America is today the greatest hope
of the Entente Allies for a stable
peace. America is fresh and deter
mined. She has vigor and backbone,
youth and strength and unlimited re-
sources. She will not let Europe halt
until peace on a stable and perman-
ent basis has been definitely estab-
lished. That is one great reason why
everyone of her allies should be over
whelmingly thankful that America
now is with us"

New EngIanders AddedtO Force
to France.
ENOUGH SHIPS AVAILABLE
Composite Organization Now Being
MobiIized on Long Island Under
New European Standard-Time
OF Readiness Indefinite.

Washington. Two army divisions
instead of one, comprising total of at
least $4,000 men, probably will make
UP the first contingent of the National
Guard to go to France.
Although no official confirmation was
obtainable, there were evidences that
the composite Forty-second Division,
whose organization recently was an
nounced, will be accompanied abroad
by the Twenty-sixth made up of New
England guardsmen. No New England
States are among the rs having repre-
sentation in the composite division.
The commander of the Twenty-sixth is
ing as commander of the Department
of the Northeast, and it is presumed
he will go to Europe with the division.
Tie Forty-second is commanded by
M5j.-Gen. w. A. Mann.
Mobllizing On Long Island.
The Forty-second Division is being
modified at Mineola, Long Island, un-
der the new European standard, which
requires that the strength of the indi-
vidual infantry regiments be increased
more than so per cent. The process
necessitates the addition of some units
not included in the original order, for
where one company of infantry, for
instance, was to have come from any
State, two companies have been con-
solidated to give the $50 men neces-
sary. Thus hundreds of men have
been transferred to fill up the regi-
ments selected to go. All the other
National Guard divisions will go
through similar process on their ar
rival at their divisional camp.
No hint has been given as to the
probable time it will require to pre-
pare the Forty-second for embarkation
AS it is wholly new organization, it
is logical to assume that some time
will be needed to get it into working
shape. The question of equipment
also enters into the fixing of sailing
date The same considerations apply
likewise to the Twenty-sixth.
Final AIIotnents Announced.
The original plan for a composite
National Guard expeditionary force is
known to have provided for two divi-
sons made up on the composite plan.
Approximately 40 States would have
contributed guardsmen to form the
Forty-second and Twenty-sixth, and
supplemental division or army corps
troops might have made up an expedi-
tion that represented every State.
The War Department announced the
final allotment Of State troops among
the national army cantonments and
made public the list of colonels as
signed to regimental commands in the
various divisions, both of the national
army and the National Guard.

America Entente's Hope.
Wilson May Restat. Aims OF U. S.

Wilson May Restate Aims OF U. S.
Washington. Conferences among
Entente diplomats crystallized into
conviction the opinion here that Pope
Benedict's peace move is not likely
to change in any substantial degree
the attitude either of the Allies or
the American government.
1t is agreed, however, that there
must be made response to the Pope's
proposal far more comprehensive than
a mere acknowledgment of receipt. To
do this without opening the field to
argument which might result in de-
veloping differences between the Allies
to be seized upon by the Germans is
realized to be difficult and delicate
undertaking.
On the other hand, some considera-
ton is being given to the suggestion
that the Pontiff has given President
Wilson a golden opportunity to again
impress upon the American people and
the world in the most convincing
fashion the rectitude of his position in
recommending to Congress the
declaration OF a state of war with Ger
many.

ception In honor of CHIEF Justice

bench in the law library at the State
University last evening.
Dean Whitlock presided the earlier
part OF the evening and after an omen.
ing address in which he expressed the
appreciation Of the law school for the
recent gift of Mrs. w. w. Dixon to the
school and called attention to the fact
thatA the growth and prosperous con.
dltlon Of the school could be attrib-
uted largely to the interest shown BY
the members of the local bar and the
lawyers OF the state and Of the SUI
preme bench, he called upon several
of the visitors to speak.
4 Attorney VIII Murphy called atten.
ton to the fact that Mrs. Dixon's gift.
the first to be given to any Of the
schools or departments Of the Uni
versity of Montana, was well placed
when given to the law school, in that
the department had advanced in stand
ing SO quickly al the profession was
one well worthy Of the support.
Attorney Wayne spoke OF the good
fellowship connected with the legal
profession and of the public view of
the profession as compared with the
view which the embryonic lawyer
should have.
Chief Justice Brantly gave the main
address of the evening and after COM
menting on his appreciation of the
fact that it was a pleasure for him to
be SO intimately connected with the
interests and growth of the law school
and of his good fortune in having a
small part to do with the starting Of
the institution in that he signed the
order which made the gift to set aside
the grounds on which the institution
now stands; he gave the audience an
idea of what the legal profession rep
resented. and ended by giving the
coming lawyers some WELL founded adj
vice. The justice said in part:
First of all the law profession
comes in contact with those things
which affect us most deeply. Not only
when the man is made unfortunate
and calls upon the lawyer to protect
his life and liberty should the help
be given, but it should be rendered to
uplift the liberty and morals of all
men and Of your neighbors at all
times.
1T deals with the contamination Of
the interests of all. And above all.
the student Of the profession should
give a careful study to the ethics of
the profession and insist that those
with whom you come In contact apply
them likewise

 My husband will see thee," she re- piled. Come in"
 The sheriff entered, was bidden to make himself at home, and was hos pitably entertained for half an hour, but no husband appeared. At last the sheriff grew impatient.
 Look here,' said he, "I thought you said your husband would see me" "
 "He has seen thee," was the calm reply, but he did not like thy looks and has gone another way"
