Soukhomlinoff. former minister Of
war, for high treason. The witness

1911. He swore that he had report
ed Germany's military activity to the
Russian war office.
The president Of the court asked
General Nicholson with what power

BILL" HAYWOOD'S
zee. VISIT TO DURANGO

Old time Durango people recall
that VIM. D. Haywood, national sec
retary Of the l. w. W., once visited
our town and took an active part in
a strike at the smelter. 1t was back
in the days "Billy" Wickline was mar
shall. Mr.. Wickline investigated Mr..
Haywood's activities and convinced
himself that his sole motive was to
create trouble, SO he ordered him to
leave town and designated the time
limit of his departure. The order
was couched in such terms Haywood
knew that the marshal meant busi-
ness and without further formalities
he shook the dust If Durango frim
his feet and has never returned.

PEACE TERMS ON WHICH THE WORLDS WAR Be TERMINATED
Lets Show The Boys
That We Are With Them

On Wednesday morning, Septem-
ber 10, 40 per cent of La Plata's quo
Ia for the big army will leave Du-
range for the front. There will be
36 of the boys in the bunch. When
the first contingent left September
3, Durango did herself proud in the
way of more or less impromptu
"send off" at the depot. Several
hundred people were there, and many
more would have been there had it
not been for the necessity of attend
ing to business affairs at that par
ticular hour. No man who went to
the depot that morning but what
came back better, more loyal and
more patriotic citizen. We may diff
fer in our opinions of many things,
but no man with red blood in his
veins can watch bunch of young
Americans start off for the war with
out thrilling of his blood that is
good for him, without feeling an ir-
resistable impulse to jump into the
band wagon and go thru with the
bunch. He comes back more willing
to dig up the coin, more interested
in the success of the boys and more
anxious to see that they get all the
credit that's coming their way.
Let us take more time to it this
time, let more organizations attend
in a body. Let's close up shop and
everybody go. The Herald proposes,
that among other things to insure
a monster "send off" all business
houses lock their doors at about $3.50,
and remain closed until after the
train departs that memorable morn
ing, whilst everybody takes an hour
off to go down to the depot to let
La Plata's boys know that the folks
back home are with them, heart and
soul.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. s.
The subtle working of a plot in which
Sweden violated her neutrality and
carried sinister messages between
Count Luxburg, German charge d. af-
faires to Argentine, and Berlin was
revealed by the state department.
Count Luxburg insolently advised
the home office it need not heed Ar
gentine's pleas and if necessary call
in Spanish mediation. The most dar-
ing of all recommendations was that
Germany compel Argentine ships to
turn back, or sink them without
leaving traces.
Sweden aided in the Vaccinations
by the Swedish legation at Buenos
Aires forwarding the messages to the
Stockholm foreign office as its own
official messages. This is a distinct
violation of neutrality. which will
likely result in delicate situation
between Sweden and the allies, while
Argentine is expected to plunge into
the war now that she sees Germany's
scheme barred.
The communications sent by Count
Luxburg sarcastically referred to the
Dhcting Argentine foreign minister as
NOTORIOUS ass and anglaphile."
The state department refuses to

The administration holds these would
be given the right to express them
selves on the question of whether or
not they shall remain under the mill
tary heel of the Germanic powers, re-
turn to their mother countries,
France, Denmark and Serbia-set up
autonomous governments and rule
themselves, or attach themselves to
other nations.
Bosnia Herzegovina, for instance,
it is understood, desires berth in
the proposed Jugo-Slav state, the
nucleus of which is Serbia and Mon
tenegro. AT the same time Dalmatia

sire entrance into this state--and the
official view here is that these states
also should be allowed to determine
their respective states. There must.
Of course, be autonomy for Poland
and restoration and restitution for
Belgium, naturalization Of the Der
danelles and some rein on Turkey.
Militarism Must End.
The president has left the door to
peace open, but it is well guarded
and the Teutons cannot come with
guns in their pockets.
Free grant of full power to the
German people. Willingness to let
disputed territories speak for their
own future and grant of restoraticn
and restitution for over-ridden small
countries means peace, anything short
of this means war to the end.

the decision of the United States or
England or France, but must be such
as "the other peoples of the world
would be justified in accepting"
This point, it is stated, is one of the
most important in the presidents re-
ply to the pope. 1t means in fact
that the United States believes all
the allies and the rest of the world
shall sit as a court of Judgment on
Germany's internal reforms.
u. S. Guide in Peace Opinions,
The United States will be guided in
its peace opinions largely by nations
which have had the mogt experience
with Germany, France for example.
France believes it would be madness
to enter peace negotiations with the
kaiser. So does the United States.
When President Wilson said peace
must rest upon the rights Of peo-
pies great and small, not upon gov
ernments, he meant it literally and
that point applies directly to his ut
terances against dismemberment of
empires.
