SMALL BOY HAD NOTICED
That He Knew Man in Khaki as Marine Did Credit to His Powers
 of Observation.

A group of youngsters was playing on Riverside drive, says the New York Times. A military man, dressed in khaki and accompanied by young lady, approached the group. The boys stopped their playing and, with nudges and gesticulation, were evidently try ing to identify the man in khaki
 AS the young lady and her escort drew nearer, one youngster with an air of superior knowledge informed bis companions: He's United States marine"
 Overhearing the remark, the young lady questioned the small boy: How do you know he is a mariner
 "Why, lady," exclaimed the young ster, "he wears an ornament on his hat showing an eagle, globe and anchor. but doesn't wear any hat cord"
 The colored hat cords, yellow. blue and red, help many civilians to recog- nize at once cavalryman, an infan- tryman or artillerymaK. However, the United States marine dressed in khaki is still an enigma to many persons who lack the powers of observation displayed by the small boy on River side drive.

SOLD TWO FOR FIVE CENTS
Salesman Quick to Turn Action of lrrascibIe to His Advantage,
 and Won Out.

The quick wit of travelling sales man who has since become q we'll known proprietor, was severely tested one day. He sent his card by the office boy to the manager of large concern, whose inner office was sep arated from the waiting-room by ground glass partition. When the boy handed his card to the manager the salesman saw him impatiently tear it in half and throw 1t in the waste bas- ket; the boy came out and told the caller that he could not see the chief The salesman told the boy to go back and get him his card the boy brought out 5'cents, with the message that his card was torn up. Then the salesman took. out another card and sent the boy back, saying: "Tell your boss I sell two cards for 5 cents.'
 He got his interview and sold a large bill of goods.

GOT A BIG SURPRISE
Troubles Disappeared and He Can Now Work Ten Hours a Day. Tanlac Did More Good Than
 Everything Else.

After I had spent every cent real ized from the sale of my home, and several hundred dollars besides. in trying to recover my health, two bot ties of Tanlac did me more good than everything else put together" said Robert A. Land, a motorman on the Ell Paso Electric line, who lives at 1913 San Antonio street. Fl Paso.
 My health gave way five years ago." he continued, land for four years I wasn't able to do lick of work. Even the raw eggs and milk I lived on soured in my stomach and almost choked me with gas and my heart act ed strangely. I have been a railroad man and used to exposure to all kinds of weather, and my system had been so weakened by five spells of pneu- monia during the last four years, that If l got wet it laid me up several days.
 Well, sir. it was the greatest sur- prise I ever had the way this Tanlac began to straighten me out right from the start. I can enjoy my meals for the first time in years. Nothing hurts me any more, sleep like log and get up in the morning ready for my job. l work ten hours day without getting tired and am stronger and more vigorous and have gained in weight. Although got soaked to the skin several times during the past two weeks it didn't hurt me bit. I am so grateful for what Tanlac is do- ing for me that want everybody to know it.''

WILSON REJECTS
 PEACE PROPOSAL
REPLY TO PoPE'S PEACE MESS AGE SAYS, GERMANY BALkED,
 BUT NOT DEFEATED"

Washington.-Pres Wilson has rejected the pope's peace proposals.
 In note dispatched last night and made public here the president says that while every heart not blinded and hardened by the terrible war must be touched by the moving appeal of his holiness, it would be folly to take the path of peace he points out if it does not in fact lead to the goal he pro- poses.
 To deal with such a power as the present rulers of Germany upon Pope Benedict's plan, says the pres ident, would involve a recuperation of the strength and renewal of the world domination of that power, now baked but not defeated, after sweep ing continent with the blood of in- nocent women and children and the helpless poor as well as of soldiers.
 Permanent peace must be based upon the faith of all the peoples and upon justice and fairness and the common rights of mankind, he adds, anu we CdAAOt tdhC lA0 HOlQ VI tuC present rulers of Germany as guar antee of anything that is to endure uncless explicitly supported by such conclusive evidence of the will and purpose of the German people them selves as the other peoples of the world would be justified in accept ing'
 There appears to be no doubt that the United States was selected to make answer before the world in ad- vance of all the others. Whether the entente nations will send extensive replies is not known here. It is re- garded as probable that they will in large measure adopt the presidents reasoning for their own and send notes of endorsement.

GOVERNMENT FIXES
 1917 WHEAT PRICES
GOVERNMENT FIXES PRICE AT $2.2o PER BuSHEL FOR
 1917 CROP.
MEETS WILSON'S APPROVAL
He Hopes That 1t Will Benefit All in- terests and Keep Within Moderate Bounds the Prices on Wheat
 and Bread.

Washington.-The price of No. northern spring wheat fixed at $2.20 a bushel at Chicago for the 1917 crop by the wheat fair price committee, headed by H. A. Garfield, whose find ings, reached after three days delib- erarlon, were submitted to and ap- proved by President Wilson. The all nouncement was made from the White House.
 Labor representatives on the com mittee voted first for $1.S4 and the farmers for S2.50. After long discus sion the compromise at s220 was ap- proved unanimously.
 The announcement was made at the White House in statement by the president:
 "Section II of the food act provides, among other things, for the purchase and sale of wheat and fouR by the government, and appropriates money for the purpose The purchase of wheat and flour for our allies and to a considerable degyee for neutral coun- tries also has been placed under the control of the food administration. 1 have appointed a committee to deter mine a fair price to be paid in gov ernment purchases. The price now commanded by that committee, s2.20 per bushel at Chicago for the basic grade, will be rigidly adhered to by the food administration.
 ;e of the food administration and my own also that this step will at once sta bilize and keep within moderate bounds the price of wheat for all transactions through the present year, and, in consequence, the prices of flour and bread also. The food act has given large powers for the con- trol of storage and exchange opera tions, and these powers will be fully exercised. An inevitable consequence will be that financial dealings cannot follow their usual course.
 The report of the committee, ad- dressed to the president, follows:
 'The undersigned committee has been asked by you to recommend the price which the government should pay for the 1917 crop of wheat.
 "In it's deliberations the committee has kept constantly in mind the three following factors:
 "First-The fact that the United States is at war.
 "Second-The need of encouraging the producer.
 ''Third-The necessity of reducing the cost of living to the consumer.

WILSON'S PROMPT
 RESPONSE PLEASES
ENTENTE NATIONS DID NOT AN TlCiPATE SUCH PROMPT AC-
 TON BY PRESIDENT.

hington.-DiScusSiOn of PreSi- dent Wilson's rejection of the popes peace proposals in diplomatic circles has revealed that even some of the entente governments were unprepar- ed for the prompt fashion in which the president disposed of a matter of such tremendous importance.
 There had been no doubt as to the general nature of the reply, and the United States was generally looked upon as the nation to speak first, but some of the allied Foreign Offices, ac- customed to long deliberated moves in diplomacy regarded the exchanges and their own capitals as barely com pleted. They had expected further discussion of the time for dispatching replies.
 Wilson Has Good Reason.
 It was realized, however, that good and sufficient reason for acting so quickly. Speculation ascribes the motive to a desire to impress favora- bly the Russian convention at Mos COW while that body still is in plas- tic and receptive state. It was also suggested that the president might have wished to anticipate obstructive action by the pacifist elements in the United States.
 Await Europe's Views.
 No rejoinder from the Vatican is expected here in the immediate fu- ture Comment from the press of Europe, including Germany and Aus tria, is awaited with interest. Bitter attacks upon the American note by the German press, and possibly con- demnatory speeches by German off cials, are expected when the presi- dents reply is allowed to leak through the censors to the German public. For the present no further attempts at peace negotiations on the old ba- sis involving continuance in power of the present autocratic German re- gime is anticipated.
