The News is informed that one Of
the big farmers of the county, own
ing several farms, has made the
claim of exemption for his sons on
the ground that they are necessary
for the proper running of the farm.
He also says that il the gov eminent
does take them he will allow the
farms to remain idle, There are
forms of treason that are worse than
outspoken hostility to il, and that
would be one Of them. We imagine
that any attempt to allow, a farm
to lie idle next year would land its
owner in federal prison.-Winter-

CHICAGO, Jan. %. - William
Jennings Bryan today registered his
opposition TO that feature of Pres't
Wilson's message 10 the senate yes
terday suggesting Americas partici-
patton in an international council TO
prevent wars.
The presidents message is a
wonderfully eloquent appeal to the
belligereDt nations and is entirely
sound and reflects what ! believe TO
be an almost unanimous sentiment
insofar as it suggests terms of
agreement" said the cOmmoner,
but l entirely dissent from the
proposition that this nation should
join in forcing peace in Europe. If
the nations at war agree on the
terms suggested by the president
there will be no need for US 10 help
enforce peace.
1t is uncomfortable that the Amer
lean people should be willing TO put
the army and navy at the command
OF an International council, neces-
sarily controlled by European ma
lions. and permit that council 10
decide for us when we should go TO
war Such an agreement, l believe.
would imperil European peace be

limited resources a means of ad-
vancing itself and make US bear the

PAPERS CAUTIOUS.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Early editions
of the London papers today adopted
cautious tone in commenting upon
Pres't Wilson'S peace league speech.
1t was generally agreed that the
document called for the deepest
analysis before its full meaning
could be determined.
In some of the editorials there is
note of praise, but in others there
is a disposition TO believe that the
American president spoke too soon.
There is unanimous approval Of
the motive which inspired Mr.. Will
son in his historic utterance.
That Pres't Wilson has taken the
world lead in the movement 10 end
the war and prevent all future wars
Is established beyond all question.
The Daily Mail, the most radical
of the Northclife papers. says that
the Wilson address lis largely an alb
stract pontfical statement on fu-
ture international immortality"
There is a note of resentment all
the way through the Daily Mails
comment
on the other hand. the Times sees
the possibility Cor success in the
American presidents am bilious
scheme. The Times comments with
caution. saying:
Its language has evidently been
weighed with SO much nicely and
care that premature comment might
overlook or misinterpret with the
precise shade of meaning which
particular passages are intended to
hear"
