1 Every Woman Wants
Peat Bogs in Ireland.

Ireland possesses 25.000,000 acres of peat bog-One-seventh the total area ef the island. Much of this peat Is concentrated in the center of the coun. my, in the Bog of Allen. but there are also large tracts in other localities, To utilize this peat, not merely for domestic use but also for power pur- poses, is a problem which has exer- cdsed the minds of prominent Irshmen for many years, and the department of scientific and industrial research appointed a committee, with Sir John Gritfiths of Dublin as chairman to in- Nestigate the whole question. Some successful attempts have already been made in Ireland to deal with the sub stnnce on q commercial basis. but any Horts to utilize the deposits must al- ways have regard to three circum- stances-that peat contains and re- tains a large amount of water; that, compared with other fuels 1t has g low caloric value, and that it is eX- tre'nely bulky, involving high cost .i carriage.

The term Indian summer" is ap- piled to q period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes ex- tending into November. and character izel by sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other sea sons of the year. What causes the dis tinctive features of the season. espe- eiaIly the hay atmosphere, is un- known, and the origin of the term equally so. Different explanations have been given of both. but they seem to be largely fanciful.

osHoT TO DEATH

Rapid City, Dec. 28.-Night Patrolman
James Hawks, former resident of Du-
buque, was shot and instantly killed here
this morning by Endstri Spiking, whom
he was trying to arrest after answering a
call for help from hotel in which Spik-
ing is said to have caused disturbance
when he persisted in his efforts to see a
woman stopping at the hotel and with
whom he had been particularly friendly.
The manager of the hotel sent in the call
for policeman and when Hawks entered
a bullet from gun in the hands of Spik-
ing struck him in the heart.
The sheriff was then appealed to and
that officer together with several deputies
went to the scene and found Spiking
holding off crowd in the dining room
with revolver. AS the sheriff and his
men approached Spiking made dash
through the back door. After short
chase he was captured and locked up.
Hawks had been resident of Rapid

from Dubuque, Ia where he conducted a
saloon. A daughter, eleven years old,

WILSON'S DIPLOMACY

The Chicago Post, ever ready with
captious criticism of the president,
makes the German reply to the presi-
dents note the occasion for the fol-
lowing:
We feel from the Berlin reply to
us new sense of our diplomatic dis
abilities. The presidents note was,
of course. tactless toward England
in the clumsiness of the wording by
which it permitted the assumption
that it declared the allies and the CEN
trail powers to be fighting alike for
the rights of small nations. Now,
the iooseness of its structure appears
anew from the fact that Berlin is
able to ignore its request for the def.
inltion of terms, to accept it as a
suggestion for underlined conference,
and to "agree" with it's proposal to
postpone discussion of peace guaran-
ties till after the peace treaty shall
have been signed.
This lneptitude may be costly, as
it may we'll give Germany chance
to say later that she did in fact ac-
cept our offer and act on it to the
full"
The editor of the Post is taking ad.
vantage of his readers ignorance of
fact, expecting to produce disgust
with the administration by insinuat-
ing that it is clumsy and awkward
in handling the tools Of diplomacy.
In the SOS newspapers which so dis
played their left handed patriotism
were called "copperheads, because
the copperhead snake is the most
dangerous and most insidious of
reptiles.
American diplomacy is not and
never has been like European diplo-
macy. 1t has been called shirtsleeye
diplomacy because of its brutal di-
rectness. President Wilson was brut-
ally direct when he asked the belli-
gerent powers on both sides of the
European conflict to name their terms
of peace. For that reason his "inter-
ference" is being resented. He did,
however, defer to diplomatic conven-
ience sufficiently to moderate his
language in speaking of the objects
of both belligerents. The diplomats
of Europe are not taking umbrage at
his phraseology in this respect---it is
only the European citizenry, unac-
quainted with diplomatic usages, and
the American copperhead press that
is critical.
AS for the "looseness of structure"
of the note-it is enough that it stat
ed its object frankly. 1t was not in
tended as q pitfall, to trap unwary
responses, and if Berlin or London or
the chancellories of any of the other
powers to whom it was addressed do
not choose to answer in the same
frank spirit in which the note was
dispatched that is not President Will
sons fault and he may not be Justly
blamed. Accusing him of Ingenious
ness in diplomacy and of ineptitude
in composing diplomatic exchanges
is unfair to him and to the editorial
readers of newspaper. Mr.. Wilson
may not be as crafty at diplomatic
trickery as certain American editor
lal critics, but his intellect ia of such
high order that it has impressed itself
upon the whole world, while only
certain confined circles have been in
huenced by his critics.
