Peace Hopes Gone,
Says Berlin Paper

Berlin, Jan. 1.-The peace dream
Is over for the present." says the
Taeg1iche Rundschau, whoever
abandoned himself thereto will be So
bered by the entents reply and will
adopt himself to the hard reality. If
the German offer Is today rejected the
thought Of peace is not by this refusal
su16cated, The British, French and
Russian people have expressed their
belief that cur offer of peace was a
confession of weakness and an at
tempt to save ourselves before the
collapse,
When the coming months OF the
war show that this lie. too. is shiver-
ed on the German arms revuisfon
must come and then woe to those
rulers who will have to answer for
the ussisss b1eodsiasd.''

ARREDoND0 QUITS
WASHINGTON FOR
NATIVE COUNTRY
Ambassador : Designate's
Reason for Leaving Post
Isn't Made Clear.

Washington. Jan. 2-Elizeo Are
dondo, General Carranza's ambassa-
dor-designate here, said goodbye to
Secretary Lansing today and will de-
part tonight for Mexico City. Ramon
P. Denegri, Carranza consul-general
at San Francisco, will be in charge
of the embassy. The reason for Mr..
Arredondo's departure has not been
made clear. He recently denied he
was being withdrawn.
When General Carranza sent his
recent appeal for notifications of the
protocol drawn by the Mexican
American commission it was reported
he would withdraw Mr.. Arredondo as
a mark of his displeasure at the ac-
ton Of the American commissioners
in demanding final decision on the
agreement by Dec. 26. Mr.. Are
dondo denied then that he was to be
withdrawn and declared that if he
left Washington it would be to confer
with his chief as he did recent
formation about his de-
refused today at the .--~-
bassy, where it was said a statement
would be issued later.
There were various undercurrents
apparent in official circles today which
gave a semblance Sof color to reports
that the relations with Mexico were
again becoming strained.
Henry P. Fletcher, recently con-
firmed as Ambassador to Mexico but
who never has gone to his post, had
an engagement to confer with Presi-
dent Wilson later in the day.

Elect Fargo Woman
AS State Organizer

Mrs. E. NJ. Crime, who with Mrs. r.
p. Blake returned to Fargo Saturday
afternoon from Glendive, Mont, having
gone there from Beach, n. D., was
elected state organizer at the annual
grand chapter convention Of the r. e.
O.s OF North Dakota, held in Beach
last week. Mrs. Crime was also one OF
three named to represent their respect
i've chapters at the biennial p. e. o.
meeting scheduled for next October at
Omaha, Neb. The other two are Mes
DANES Love and Lillibridge, of Man
dan and Dickinson, respectively. Mrs.
w. G.. Bek, of Grand Forks, who was
chosen state president at the Beach
meeting, will be state representative
at the Omaha meeting.
The other state officers elected at

fred Benson, Valley City, second vice.
president; Mrs. Abel Peck, Minot, re-
cording secretary; Mrs. LILLIAN Lilli-
bridge, Dickinson, corresponding secre-
tary; and Mrs. Near, Beach, treasurer
Among those present at the meeting
was Mrs. Helen Drake, Of Beatrice,
Neb., supreme president Of the p. z.
O's.
One of the most interesting features
Of the convention was the discussion
of the Sisterhood's work in the matter
Of the Red Cross work. It was decided
that these women will devote all their
available time to assisting this organi-
zation in any way their services may
be required.

viii Cooperate,
Not Interfere With
. Work of Red Cross

One of the important facts brought
out at the Valley City meeting last
Friday which resulted in the formation
of the Woman's Committee OF the
Council For National Defense, North
Dakota division, was that the efforts
of this organization will in no way
interfere with the Red Cross work, but
will be in cooperation with 1t. Red
Cross organizations in the state how
ever, are requested to let the national
council know what is being done
along that line, for the Red Cross work
in the state organization is principally
one of tabulation, and ii Is important
that a record of Red Cross activities
be kept and reported to the national
committee. The latter wishes a week
ly report of all lines of patriotic work,
from this and other states, that 1t may
lend help wherever most needed. Red
Cross chapters in many towns are
awaiting explicit instructions as to
making hospital supplies, before
launching upon their anticipated work,
and national cooperation with state
effort viii be most beneficial.
The object Of the North Dakota divi-
sion organized at Valley City is not to
form new organizations but to CO.
operate with those already in opera
ton. It was wisely decided that It
would be tremendously confusing IL
ctlairmen already appointed in seven
ty-two North Dakota towns were de-
posed from Office just as they were
getting efforts in those communities
organized. Miss Mae Mcdonald. Of the
A. G.. Extension department, who was
present at Valley City, and who is con-
stantly travelling over the state, re-
ports a widespread and great en-
thusiasm for patriotic work among the
women.
Leaders in the work of North Dakota
women are being chosen without bias
and for their own particular efficiency.
it was emphasized at the organization
meeting, in accordance with the re-
quest OF the national committee. The
supreme object at the outset is finding
out, as Mrs. Frank White OF Valley
city, who presided, expressed ii:

we are doing" Along the line Of
what we are doing, the Degree OF

ner the artistic abilities OF these Fargo
children and young people, as brought
out so splendidly under Mrs. de-
Lendrecie's training. The audiences
accorded this popular instructor es-
pecial ovations, and she was presented
with flowers in appreciation of her own
solo work that featured the program.
The program opened with technical
exercises that were of particular inter-
est to the uninitiated, and which were
