PRESIDENTS REPLY
MAY BRING PEACE
By D. n. Edwards


Washington, Aug. 31.-President
Wilson has not only opened the door
to peace, but he has started to leae
the allied world in that direction.
Substantial encouragement was re-
ceived by the administration today
from two most diverse sources. From
England came unexpected word that
British comment on the peace reply
was most favorable. From Germany
we're received reports that the politi-
cal pot had started boiling.
These things were discussed at to-
days cabinet meeting. It was sase
that President Wilson had been heart
lily felicitated upon tine apparent ini-
tial sucress of his move. It is believed
that the pope will not permit a lapse
in his conversation on peace which
he and the president now have had.
A further statement is expected from
him. But It is said that it undoubhed-
~ will be weeks or may be months De-
fore the pope will again frame mes
sage.
President Wilson's anxiety to get
his reply to the German people in nn-
garbled form was interpreted today
as desire to help the pope. The in
luence of the pope through the Cen
trist party in the reicnstag is already
seen here in some quarters. were the
demands of the Centrists for geuine
reforms once fairly on way to full
fllment the whole situation both as
regards Washington and the vatican
would be vastly simpliaed.
News that the British monitors,
adapted to work in the shallow waters
of the Belgian coast, are now at hand
and the opinion hints Of a coming
drive in Flanders, mean that things
are shaping UP for the capture Of the
German submarine bases on the
North sea. The taking of these not
only would restrict the whole under
sea campaign, but seriously impair
the German army in Belgium and
northern France Such a blow, TO-
gether with the Italian offensive
againts Triest would. it Is believed
here, give tremendous impetus to, Ger
man internal reforms. 1t is believe

Rome, Aug. 31.-In VatioaR circles
Pope Benedict Is said to have sigMded
his intention Of issuiag reply after
receiving the eespcQses Of all the bel
ligerents to his peace proposals. poiat-
ing out questions in regard to which
all nations at war may sc in agree
nent and the others concerning
which it Will be necessary to hold dis
cussioas. In this way it is hoped grad
ualay to make peace matter of prac-
teal politics.
It is stated at the Vatican that Pope
Benedict on receiving President Will
sons reply to his peace proposals did
mot attempt to conceal his bitter dis
appointment and that he regards the
Presidents answer as leaving little
room for further peace efforts at pres
ent. It has been no secret here that
the Pope hoped for more favorable
response from the United States than
from anywhere else.
Before President WILSON'S reply was
read it was said at the Vatican that
the responses from the various gov
prnments were expected to be more
favorable than the tone of press COM
ment At the same time the Pope was
reported to have signifed his inten-
tion of issuing a reply after receiving

which all the nations might be IN

I SUPERVISORS MUST SELECT
PATROLMEN.
Board Members Ignoring New Road
Law Subject to Arrest and
Punishment.

Boards of supervisors who ignore
( the road patrol law passed by the
I last general assembly and becoming
operative July 4th and who fail to
put on patrolmen as required by this
law face prosecution for neglect OF
Attorney General Havner has
mailed letters to county attorneys
over the state asking them to bring
this law to the attention of the sup
ervisors If they fail to provide the
patrolmen they are liable to prosecu-
ton.
When this law was passed by the
last legislature it was recognized that
many boards of supervisors would
not favor it and therefore it was so
framed as to make it mandatory on
the boards to employ these patrol
men. Road reactionaries in both
branches of the legislature, recognize
bound to pass, tried to get it changed
making it optional with the super
visors to employ these patrolmen.
The good roads men, however, were
too strong for the reactionaries and
the original bill, as presented by Sen
ator Foster, Of Guthrie county, was
passed without change; It went
votes for it and one against and
through the house with a vote Of 60
to 26.
Lieutenant Governor Moore and
others in commenting on the work
of the legislature near the close OF
the session cited the Foster road pa
troll law as one of the real construc-
tive pieces of legislation enacted dur
ing the session.
Many supervisors are making the
claim that the law, as they UNDER
stand it, does not go into effect until
Jan. 1. However, the attorney gen
erals letter, urging county attorneys
to take this matter up with the
boards, while not passing on this
point declares that the patrolmen
should be appointed at once. He
urges also that good roads will be
especially important this fall to
move the crops and to help in COOP
GRAFTON with war plans.
1t is also being urged by some sup
eryisors that they can not get salts

viii This Come True in 1852?

Jack Lait, the we'll known writer
says it will. He tells in the August
American Magazine what he thinks
will happen in the next thirty-five
years:
: There will not be a king, emper-
or, car or kaiser in Europe.
ireland will be an independent
republic; so will Poland.
Liquor will be tabooed the world
over-barred at it's source.
women will have full suffrage
everywhere.
Socialism will not have displaced
republican government.
There will be an aerial route
across the Atlantic and Paclflc
oceans. with stations or controls at
intervals.
tons with and without wireless
'All principal cities will have
double decked streets, the lower
stratum for traffic by vehicles ex-
clusively.
Emigration from one country to
another will be rare.
Firearms of all kinds will be alb
solutely forbidden everywhere:
Huge artificial lights will make
the world as bright at night as by
Physicians, lawyers, dentists, will
be public officials and will not work
for individual fees.
Love will guide matrimonial Sc
lections. but government will refuse
to license the unfit, the mismated,
the immature, the senile, the dam
aged.
New York City will have 10000
GOO inhabitants and it's own legisla-
ture; Chicago will have 1000, 900
and it's own legislature.

in many localities the amounts eX-

favorable for agricultural interests.
Corn is still ten days to two weeks
late, but otherwise it is in fine con-
