 After referring to the conclusion of the Russian arrnistice, the chancellor went on:
 Lloyd Georges speech is the Brit-.- ish answer to the Papal note. Our way in the west accordingly is clear. It is not Lloyd George who is judge of the world, but history. As on August 2, 1914, so also today we may look forward to its verdict with equanimity." c

London, Dec. 17.-Germany's way in the west is clear, inasmuch as peace by negotiation with Great Britain is out of the question at pres ent, Chancellor von Hertling said in an interview given to the director of the Wolff bureau, the semi official German, news agency, as quoted in de- spatches reaching here today. The interview was given in response to a request for reply to the recent speech of Premier Lloyd George, who said he would regard peace overtures with Prussia at the moment the Prus- sian military spirit was drunk with boastfulness as a betrayal of the great trust with which he and his col leagues had been charged.
 Lloyd George calls Us criminals and bandits" said the chancellor. Mod ern wars are not won by invective, but perhaps, rather, prolonged there by, because it is clearly out of the question to negotiate with men of such temper. For some time it has

GRAND H. 0. G. MINSTREL
Is NOW WELL UNDER WAY

The rehearsals of the big chorus
strel are bringing surprisingly good
results considering the short time
they have been in progress. Already
the experienced singers who compose
the circle are bringing out the har-
mony of the latest Witmark Overture
which will be presented. And from
the present outlook the success of
the performance is assured.
All the latest song publications
are at the disposal of the director so
that those who patronize will have
the pleasure of hearing up-to-thc-
minute music. The end men are
rapidly rounding their stunts into
presentable form and are sure to
produce abundant mcrriment. The
experienced singers who have taken
part in previous entertainments of
this nature admit that the songs and
overture are the best ever.
Supt Mccormick ability as a di-
rector is clearly apparent and his in
sistence upon the best musical in
depreciation is readily and enthus-
iastically accorded by the singers
There will be any number of novel
special features and surprises for
everybody The programs which
are soon to appear will mention
these more fully. Suffice to say that
Monte Vista will have an opportun-
ity to enjoy one of the classiost per-
formances ever staged in the valley.

DEATH OF JOHN EWING

John Ewing of Del Norte, one of
the best and sturdiest characters
that aided in the early development
of this valley, died last Saturday at
his home in Del Norte from harden
ing of the arteries. Mr. Ewing was
popular and among his closest
friends were Senator Bowen, Alva
Adams, Ezra Elliott, Jake Ellison
and Adair Wilson. He served one
term in the State senate from this
district and was mayor of Del Norte
at the time of his DEATH
John Ewing was born at Zenia
Ohio, in 1S4S, coming to Colorado
to Del Norte, in 1874 He was mar
ried to Miss Ida Van Liew in 1879.
One child, Charlie Ewing, who now
resides at Del Norte, was born to
them.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Presbyterian church at Del
Norte,, and Governor Alva Adams
who had come from Pueblo to join
with friends in their last tribute
eulogized the life of his departed
friend.

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION IN
QUANDARY;; WITHDRAWAL
OF site BY BRECKENRIDGE

Next to having a family without
any home, perhaps the most distress
ing thing is to have a library associ-
alton ready to build a great civic i'm
provement-and no site.
And yet, until the very recent
for this city, when like the proverb-
ial thunder clap, and equally un-
heralded. the promise of early reali-
zation was swept away, together with
the site.
To be brief, the facts seem to be
as follows: The four lots opposite
the postoffice, owned by R. G. Breck-
enridge, L. B. Sylvester and Mrs.
Rice, were voluntarily rendered the
Library association several months
ago for library purposes, and the
offer was accepted. These lots,
with the adjoining property also do
mated to the enterprise by the orig
inal Ladies Library association,
formed the most attractive site in
lHe Clly lOI puDllC library. AZ d
special meeting of the City Council
Jan. 4, deed was rendered the city
for the Sylvester-Rice half interest
in the four lots. Nothing, then, re-
mained to delay any further pro-
gress except the deed to the Brecken-
ridge interest in the lots. This deed
will not be given and the promise for
the same has been withdrawn.
We understand that Mr. Brecken-
ridge has placed a price of $500 for
his interest in the lots. The feeling
is that it would be unfair to the Syl-
vester-Rice donation to pay this
money.
In the meantime the disappoint-
ment is intense, which is mild
statement in the premises.
