London, jan 12-The door to peace
is still open but no tangible results
are expected in the near future. This
was the British view today as reflect
ed by the press concerning the effect
Of the allies reply to President Will
sons peace suggestion.
1t would be difficult to find any
Britisher rash enough to predict that
Germany is ready to accept the terms
which the allied note specified. The
man in the street is under no delus-
ion as to Germany's present military
strength but he believes that sooner
or later Germany will be forced both
by military and economic necessity to
submit to the terms which the allies
have laid down.
The franl1ness and courtesy of the
allied note reflects the popular change
in the attitude toward President Will
sons suggestion from resentment and
"meddling" to the desire to illuminate
somewhat obtuse but well-intention-
ed friend.
In general, the terms demanded by
the Teutons by the allies are as fol-
lows:
Restoration of Belgium, Serbia and
Montenegro and complete reparati
for damage they suffered.
Evacuation Of invaded portions of
France, Russia and Roumania, with
just reparation.
Liberation Of Italians, Slavs, Rou-
manians and Czech Slavs from foreign
domination
Retirement of Turkish empire from
Europe. (This is taken to mean the
replacement Of Turkey by Russia at
the DardaneIles)
Reorganization of Europe, guaran-
tees of stable regime founded on
the respective nationalities and secur-
ity of all, great and small, nations.
Restitution of territories previously
severed from allied nations by force
or contrary to the wishes of their pop
ulations. (This is considered to refer
to Alsace-Lorraine and the Italian Ty-
roD.

The military and naval spirit is abroad in the land It has infected the little children of this valley. It has disclosed an imagination susceptible
 of development The Republican has ! received the following contributions in the mornings mail The first by Kath- leen Cate is as good as much of the vers fibre printed in the magazines that make a speciality of that sort of versification, and it has the merit of having more meaning: l In the shady lane we sew | On our Red Cross caps and aprons,
 And then up in the tree we put our | bundles 1 Then we go for frolic 1 And sing merrily of the birds and flowers
 And then we begin to sew again, For we know it is our duty to sew. "The Yellow and Green Ships" two
 verses by Opal N Ruddell: Yellow and green were the ships that 1 were seen, That landed upon the shore; l The loveliest ships that had ever been.
 Mightier ships than had ever landed 1 before | We waved and the sailors waved
 But the yellow and green ships went 1 sailing on.
 The incest ships that had ever been | made to sail
 And the dandiest ships to sail in the 1 hardest gale
 The waves tossed high | As the ships went by.
 o the music that was played, The beautiful white horses that neighed 1 In the circus parade, | o those beautiful ships that went
 sailing by.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Let the Councils Work

Florence, ArlZ., Aug. {, 19li. Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, AriZ.
 Gentlemen:
 I wish to pen you a few lines in ref erence to a certain condition which letter I will ask you to publish in the Republican.
 Recently a rather drastic order was passed by the Board of Pardons and Paroles demanding that state prison officials keep all prisoners within the prison walls, except those actually working in road camps. There are many here who are guilty of minor Of lenses and many who have families de- pendent on them for support These families will be thrown on the public for support. There has been very few infractions of the law and nearly all have been willing and anxious to work and have given satisfaction Most of these men,. have been working on ranches where they have freed the state of their support and at the same time greatly helped the labor puzzle in this section. The state provides no em- ployment by which prisoners can make anything or start fund which may help them in life after being liberated.
 Just now the labor question here is hard one, since the draft will take many away, which places our farmers in very hard position for help. It seems the harvesting of crops should have some importance. especially at the present time Our transportation facil- ities are poor since we are cut off the main line of the Southern Pacific by 27 miles and from the branch line by the Gila river and no bridge over the same It is a disgrace to call the present structure bridge Loks like a fort stuck out on a sand pile. This makes it hard for our local farmers and keeps help from coming here.
 Would it not be a good idea for cer- tain officials who have the power to instruct the superintendent of the pris- on to use his judgment in selecting

 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lus1re or when it fades, turns gray. dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade Of hair which is so attractive. use only this old time recipe
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally. so evenly. that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff. stops scalp itching and fall ing hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that besides heauti- fully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t an ap- pearancs of abundance.-Advertis meut

There are many of these prisoners who would gladly enlist if possible and many who would gladly work in preference to be- ing idle within the prison walls.

UNCLE SAM FAR
 FROM WASTREL

The war department is no station cry wastrel as Col. F. S. Breen, in charge of the selective draft for Ari- zona learned yesterday in a telegram from Provost Marshal General Crowder. It gave notice that there had been such squandering of exemption blanks throughout the country that no more would be issued when the stock on hand was exhausted. The telegram stated that ten times as many as were needed had already been issued and that if more were required they would nave to be furnished from some other source than the government
 It was suggested that persons desir- Ing to use them have them printed or typewriter following the government form, and it was added that any delay in claiming exemption could not. be charged to shortage of blanks. Such delay as might be made by the boards in consequence of such a shortage would be in violation of the law.
