Life or Death of Peace
Movement Up 10 Germany

1.-THE proposal Of the Central Powers
is an attempt to start an evolution
which would finally end in a German
made peace. 10 has been made in order
to disturb opinion in the Allied coun-
tries and TO reaiiirm German public
opinion. so gravely hurt by losses, eco
nomica shortage and crushed by the
supreme effort demanded from everyone.
"The proposal was made in order to
seek 10 intmidate neutrals, who know
where the responsibilities lay, and who,
foreseeing Germany's aim, will not
abandon the defense of human liberties.
"The (Germanl note attempts TO
make legitimate in the eyes Of the
world in the future the crimes Of sub.
marine warfare, deportations and obli-
patory service, against our own eoun-
trymen, and the violations Of NEUTRAL
ties
1T is in the full consciousness Of the
gravity and also of the necessity Of the
hour, that the Allied governments close
ly united in perfect accord, and their
peoples refuse 10 discuss the proposal
which is not sincere and is unimpor-
tant.
"The Allies once more affirm that
peace is impossible until there is repa-
ration for The violated liberties and
rights and recognition OF the principle
Of nationality and free existence for
small countries
"Peace is impossible until a rule is
made that definitely will suppress the
causes Of war now menacing the nations
and until eflicacious guarantees are
given for the security Of the world"
Then follows formal protest by Bel
GUM against crimes committed by Ger
many against the Belgian people, with
an assurance from the Belgian king and
his country that they do not desire any
mate reparations and guarantees fol
] the future.

England May Make Her
Peace Proposals Definite

There was considerable speculation as
10 that phrase in the Allies reply refer
ring 20 public opinion in Germany and
Austro- Hungary. A construction placed
upon 1t today was that 10 suggests re-
fusal Of the Allies to treat with the
milraristic and bureaucratic forces of
her enemies, but intimates rather a de
sire TO treat with the people of those
enemy countries direct. In his coustric-
ton. there were a number Of people to-
day who viewed the note as an appeal
direct to the German public, taken over
tho heads Of their bureaucrats.

OLD TIMERS CLAIM
THIS COOLEST WINTER

1t seems not to stick In the men,
DRY OF any Of our oldest inhabitants
that there ever was a more FROST
biting, whip-snapping, zero-busting
winter than the one now with US
and threatening to remain till the
last coal defense is exhausted. 1t
is no longer interesting how far the
thermometer falls below the rezo
mark. The novelty of feeling 30
below breezes of morning quickly
wears off, and even the toughest
swear 1t Is too much. Co-incident
with the arctic blast coal goes short
again, and promises little but slack
ness for weeks to come. The coal
dealers have shown themselves good
citizens in letting out what supplies
they secure in an equable fashion,
part to the farmers and part to citi-
zens in town; their nerves are kept
on edge with the ringing of the tele-
phone, but they stick faithfully to
weighing wagons in and out and
watching to see that who needs 1t
most gets it first. Tho some suffer
and complainers howl, the coal short
age has demonstrated some right
sound business ethics this winter.

GLAD TO GET BACK
FROM THE EAST

r. Prouse, who lives on route
three, returned this week from a
months visit with relatives and
friends at Deepwater, Missouri. Mr..
Prouse says the east is not nearly
SO up-to-date as the west; automo-
biles are few among the farmers and
in fact few in the community as
compared with here; building Is not
very rapid and in some sections a
few men are getting control Of the
land, instead of cutting up the big
farms. Wages are low: farm hands
getting $25 to $35 and laborers
$1.65' per day. Flour is selling at
1928 per hundred and spuds at
$2.25 per. bushel.
In passing thru the Greeley, Colo
RADIO, country Mr.. Prouse was much
in what he thought to
be the garden spot of the west, say
ing that from the train he could see
no trees, nothing but spud and beet
fields with an occasional grain field
here and there. He suggests that If
more of us would take a trip east
we would like our home town better.

LASSEN PEAK ERUPTs
WITH MIGHTY FORCE
California Volcano Spouting Ashes;
Smoke Cloud Extends 12S miles

MONTGOMERY CREEK, Cal.-Las-
sen peak erupted today with mighty
farce, showering ashlike ejecta over
its snowy TANKS and spouting a cloud
OF inky volcanic smoke that arched
westward 1875 miles.
Reports of flow of hot volcano
mud down the mountain side came
from Whitmore, small settlement,
but were later discounted by q report
that no flow could be made out thru
the haze of steam and smoke.
Telephone reports from Hat Creek
valley, which was nearly extermin-
ated In May, 1915, by a flow of in
mud from the volcano, said
all was well there this time. To-
days eruption, beginning at $40 a.
M, was said to have been the most
tremendous since the one that
brought disaster in 1915.
