 COPENHAGEN, Nov. 10.-It is ap- parent that the German government is not itself very confident that an early peace will be effected with the Russian nation from the tone of the comments being made by government papers upon the latest Russian revolt Without an eXcep- tion these papers editorially declare that it would be unwise to predict an early Russian peace from this cause, as the state of conditions in Russia make such negotiations much too uncertain to be depended upon.
 They all assume. however, that the recent developments do mean an absolute end to the Russian military forces as a factor in the war insofar as Germany need be concerned. They can no longer be a serious obstacle to Germany's military plans and can be left out of all future calculations.

GERMAN PAPERS DO NOT SEE
 EARLY PEACE WITH RUSSIA
 AS RESULT OF REVOLUTION

according to the opinion of both the German officials and pubic.
 No mention is made whatever in any of the papers of any knowledge of Nikolai Lenines proposed three months armistice of all warning na- tions, and 1t is thought here that it is purposely ignored at the re- quest of the German government,
 It is declared that even should the present revolutionary govern ment be able to maintain it's posi- ton and decide to continue the strug gle, the land reforms and changes in the industrial structure of the country as outlined will render 1t powerless to accomplish any material change in recognizing the Russian forces. For this reason 1t is de clared that Germany need no longer give Russia any consideration in mapping out campaigns to wind up the war.

DESERTER 0F
 DRAFT WAITED

Knute Albert Granberg. who was recently transferred from the dis trict board of Kitsap county, Wn., to local board No, IT, of this city,
 is being hunted for as an alleged deserter of the United States draft service.
 Granberg was advertised for, and posters were put up to the effect that he had been drawn in the draft in Kitsap county, but during the in tervening time of registering and drawing he had changed his placed of residence to Fairbanks. Local advertising and personal inquiries have failed to locate the man, and it is thought by the war office au- thorities that the man will not show up here, although it may be that he was in the hills or some isolated district during the time of advertis- ing.
 Should the man show up in the near future and prove to the satis- faction of the district board that he has been ignorant of his being drawn and wanted, he will be allowed to re port for service at the place where he was called. The jurisdiction of the local board ends with advertising for the man, and hence his case will be dealt with by the district board of which Luther c. Hess is the chairman.
 The expiration of his time was November Sth, at which time adver- Using ceased. Granberg's order mum Der for service is 626 and his regis tration number is 1527, KIisap coun- ty, Washington
