FOREST FIRES BURN
 TIMBER NEAR WILLIAMS

The Forest Service reports two fires causing considerable damage in the vicinity of Will liams, within the last week.
 The first was discovered on the east side of Davenport Lake and was due entirely to negligence of campers. This fire destroyed two acres of fine timber and was extinguished after five hours of hard work on the part of the Forestry Service men. Campers are re- minded that the penalty for leaving fires unextinguished is very severe. At this season of the year everything is so dry that serious fire can result from a seemingly insignificant blaze.
 The second fire was found near Culver. Apparently, the responsibility for this fire rest ed upon sheep herders.
 Mir. E. M. Kavnagh, grazing inspector of the Albuquerque district Forest Service, was in town from the 18th to the 14th.

Artistic Poster

Artistic Poster
 There is an unusually fine Red Cross poster in the window of the Williams State Bank. The picture is of a Red Cross nurse caring for the wounded on the battle field. The ambu- lance and stretchers would be an impressive background but the artist has added a bursting shell to wildly impress the public with the true courage of the nurses in active service. A more serious consideration of the subject by real artists would do much to place more posters of merit, artistically, befort the public and the glar- ing posters so commonly used would be found quite inefi- cient in appealing qualities.

GERMAN BLOOD SERVING AMERICA

The number of German-born Americans and Americans of German parents who joining the forces of the United States silently and earnestly as Americans of Ango-Saxon blood and without other purpose than their country is the refutaon of the protestaons of the professional Germans that the Germans in America still Germans in nationality well blood. One of the latest Americans of German blood be discovered among the recently enlisted in the United States Navy is Paul Francis Schlick nephew of General Won Hndenburg. The discovery made when young Schlick, graduate of Yale, placed at the disposal of the American Navy Department device for fighting, submarines. Schicks mother is sister of the great German General and his father St. Paul, Minn., business man, a Prussian by birth. All of them are loyal Americans and doing their best for the land of their children, grandchildren and poten- tial generations of Americans of their flesh and blood.
 This instance is more interesting than thousands of similar only because of the standing of the relatives of those Americans concerned who still Germans in Germany.

America's Attitude on the Proposals May Hasten Peace Among the
 Warning Nations
OFFER COUNTER POLICY
Presidents Answer May Stimulate Radical Sen- timent Among the
 Germans

WASHINGTON Aug. 9. - Presi dent Wilson's reply to the Popes peace offer may afford an actual working basis for hastening the end of the war. Germany and Austria already have moved in this direction, despatches from Rome say. The be- lief grows that the President, in courteously declining the Holy Sees suggestion, now will offer a construc- tive policy, to which the liberals of the world may find real encour- lgement.
 Opinion is strong here that decis- ion on the scope of the Allied an swer has been left to the President. No official announcement, however, has been made as to the answer but Wilson's advisers say he will make the United States position clear before the world.
 The President will be deliberate about his course-both because of he importance of the documents be- fore him, and likewise to avoid a haste which would tend to affront the Vatican and it's followers.
 Concrete suggestions have been of fered. They do not meet with American Government approval, but with start thus made, it is possible the President may include in his an swer the general terms of America and her Allies.
 Between the Pope's proffer and such a Presidential answer. the leu tons would know exactly where they stand as to concluding peace if they are sincere in wishing to bring it about
