The Daily Mail contends that II the

the western front in 1916 they might well
have turned the scale there and that Ru-
mania then never would have been in
vaded.
1.-THE expedition" continues the news

Tense and too weak for attack we seem to
be playing the enemys game. A much

reserves are not infinite. but they are large
enough to render it dangerous for US to
waste a single man. Throughout 1916

soldiers did not commit this folly and
they would be delighted If it were undone

GERMAN MANEUvER VAIN,
VIEW OF DUTCH PRESS
Thinks Peace Proposal Was Futile
Effort to Divide Her
Enemies.

LONDON, January ACCOMMODATING
on the entente's reply to the German
peace proposal, the the Telegram. ac-
cording to a Reuter- Amsterdam dis
patch. says:
"Germany's maneuver to divide her
enemies has completely failed. The
entente's note bears witness to una
nimity and solidarity only possible on
the basis of hottest belief in the justice
OF their cause. The entire neutral
world, with President Wilson at It's
head, must now admit that 1t is I'M
possible for the entente to enter into
negotiations with Germany while she
refuses to repair unconditiona!ly the
Injustice of her invasion Of Belgium.
The Tijd says: THE German calcu-
lation that public opinion in the neu-
trail states would turn in favor OF the
central powers as a result Of the Ger
man overtures appears likely to prove
false owing to the clever tactics of the
allies. The contention of the German
press, however. that the entente does
not want peace is incorrect: 1t is i'm
possible to express an opinion of Ger
man peace conditions which nobody
knows. The burden Of responsibility
has shifted; 1t now is Germany's duty
to disclose her conditions"

Of declining those individual condi-
tfons7 At all events our adversafies
would have acted more frankly II they
had fatty and plainly said: We will
wait because we still hope that We
need not negotiate, but can dictate the
terms of peace In order to avoid this
awkward avowal the entente now takes
the attitude Of the fudge Of the world.
But all that the entente obtains by
this proceeding is that its guilt for
the continuation Of the war unmis-
takably in the eyes Of the whole world
'is not diminished. but increased"
"And what will the central powers
reply to this note?" was asked.
DR.. Hammann answered: Il am no
more in office: I do not know the OF.
fetal peace plan. But I do know what
every German. what every citizen In
the countries allied with US feels at this
hour-however. to such overbearing
language there need be no discussion"

the United States holds that such arm

that the entente, when doing this, felt

operations on q wider scale than SO far

War Literature in France.

Since the Anglo-French treaty Of
1904 a complete literature had sprung
up in France. in which openly and loud
ly the conquest Of Alsace-Lorraine was
discussed and everything. said in order
to suggest to the French the idea Of
Germany's inferiority. The entente's note
points out that at the last peace con-
ference Germany treated the PROPOSE
ton to disarm with distrust. But Ger
many knew then pertinently that the
proposition was mainly directed against
her existence.
Russia, after the economic regulation
that followed the war with Japan, had
worked with increasing zeal for the
preparedness of her army. When Ger
many employed the surplus Of her
youth for military service, France. in
order to eurpass US, introduced a three
years service, thus sapping her capital
of vital national forces.
"Six months before the beginning of
the war the French military specialists
published openly discussions regarding
the reasons for billions and billions Of
French money streaming into Russia
and the conditions under which France
had loaned this money. France had
asked in return for her loans the con-
struction of strategical- railroads in

"The proposal for a conference was

Italy and Germany should meet with

way out of q difficult situation. The
first condition making the holding OF
such a conference possible should have
been that the Russian cabinet declare
its consent, but 1t answered July ~ In
an evasive manner and referred to con-
yersations with the Austro- Hungarian
ambassador in Sc. Petersburg (Petro-
grad) as having begun under the most
favorable auspices.

better action. Thus Grey. on July ~

to my mind, It seems to be altogether
wrong to look for the real causes OF the

impulse for war was given, but the real
cause must be found a considerable
time before.

book" at the courthouse that have just
happened yesterday. 1t appears that
one of our very we'll known physicians
and a leader in the curling game, and
prominent state legislator who is
here on official state business, wanted
to treat the courthouse bunch. Both
being undefiable, it ws decided which
one should treat. It fell to the lot OF
Doc to provide the big treat, and in
a short time they, with the courthouse
girls, had an auto in front Of the
courthouse and the party were off for
presumed spin around the loop. But
Doc made the treat a real one. When
across the Wisconsin river bridge he
dared the Honorable Robert to drive
to Baraboo if Robert would buy the
dinner, and in spite of the fact that
the girls through that Doc would turn
back to the good old home town at
every turn in the road, they had din
ner at the Warren hotel in Baraboo
that evening, at the Honorable Rob-
ert's expense.

fixed to intercept the courthouse party
Just as soon as they reached Bara-
boo, charging Doc and Bob with elope-
ment, but Sheriff Dick realized that
Bob's wife was in the west and there
fore the price of the Baraboo dinner
was enough for the man from Lodi,
and the phone explanat on by Doc to
his wife was also more than sufficient
penalty for him.
