MOVEMENT FOR PEACE
SEEMS TO Be GROWING
TERMS TAKE CLEARER FORM.
AND ROOM is LEFT FOR NEGO-
TIATIONS BY BOTH OF CON-
TENDING BELLIGERENTs.

The defiant blowing and clustering
of belligerent diplomats has not
drowned out the still small voice of
peace. Of many signs that the break
IN the war clouds is slowly growing
wider one of the most favorable is
that the belligerents have removed
many of the censorship restrictions,
so that peace talk throughout Europe
is more general today than at any
time since the war began. The pos
sible terms of settlement are being
sifted and debated so widely that
sooner or later they are bound to
take pretty definite form, not only
among officials but among the people
of the various countries. This is all
part of the great game, for officials
are always eager to give their acts
the appearance of having popular
support.
Austrian Emperor Desires Peace.
1t is known that Charles I, the new
emperor of Austria Hungary, is
strongly in favor of peace. Dis
patches say that this is largely due
to the fact that his people are tired
of the war and that economic condi-
tons in the dual monarchy cause the
struggle to be a growing burden. The
emperor is reported to have sent a
special emissary to Rome, requesting
the pope to take steps to end the con
fiict.
A dispatch from Amsterdam saws
that the German emperor has sent
his son, Prince Adelbert, on a secret
mission to the capitals of Bulgaria
and Turkey, and it is believed that
this visit Is in connection with peace.
Moreover, the presidents of the Cen
trail parliaments have been summon
ed to Berlin for an important confer
ence. There also are rumors of a
coming conference in Vienna of the
rulers of the Central powers.
The answer of the Entente allies
to the presidents inquiry for peace
terms leaves the door open for furth-
er negotiations. The note is more
specific and positive than the reply to
Germany. It makes the old charges
against Germany and seeks repara-
ton and guarantees for the future,
but it leaves no doubt that a for
NAL announcement of terms on the
part of Germany would receive due
consideration.
May Agree to Disarmament.
1t is stated on high authority close
to the German embassy at Washing
ton that Germany is prepared to give
the Entente those assurances for the
future" which have been made the
prime requisites for peace in all the
Allies utterances. This is taken to
mean nothing less than a willingness
to enter an agreement with regard
to disarmament.
With the terms and demands even
thus vaguely outlined, the president
is working to bring about a further
exchange of views, amounting, per-
haps, to simultaneous announcements
of terms by the warning nations.
Meanwhile the administration is fol-
lowing a policy of absolute secrecy
with reference to all peace negotia-
tions.

Farmers don't you think right now
is the best time to raise draft horses ?
The price was never higher than now,
and our supply of work horses is at
the lowest point II has been for
years.
There are not more than half as
many brood mares in the county now
as there were five years ago. You
can see that we are facing n horse
famine. What are you going TO do
about it? Autos and auto-trucks are
all right but you can't farm with
them. You can't raise colts from
your mules. II looks like the most
sensible and business-like thing TO do
is to raise some good draft colts be-
fore your old brood mares are gone.

proven himself TO be one of the best

New and powerful blows are being
struck by Russians in Galiica where
apparently thoy have broken the Aus
tro-German line west of Stanislau and
south of Halicz. Petrograd official
reports say the Russians have not
only made important gains 4. in the
Stanislau region, but declares the Rus
sian cavalry is pressing the enemy, the
pursuit having already reached the
Luka river. Halicz, the gateway to
Lemberg on the south seems doomed,
unless the Russian onslaught is
quickly stopped. The Russian push
from the northwest would hem in
Halicz on three sides. The renewed
Russian drive has brought control of
additional territory and the capture of
seven thousand prisoners, forty-eight
guns, including a dozen large pieces.
North of Stanislau the Russians are
holding the position won in the vicin-
ity of Brezezany and Koniuchy, where
Austro-German counterattack has
been beaten off.
Only local fighting is reported on
the British western front. but the
Germans are giving the French little
rest farther south. Attack after at
tack is being launched to wrest DO
sitions from French on the Chemin
des Danes front. The French report
these attacks unsuccessful.
