NO PEACE TALK
TO BE ALLOWED
The Department of Justice
Searching for Source of
Recent Reports.

The state Department yesterday Of
fcially branded peace talk Of the ir-
responsible kind, as propa ganda ema-
J mating from Germany designed to slow
up the preparations of the United
States for war.
Tne outline of German terms. which
has been floating about diplomatic
circles in Washington for several days.
was characterized as a part of this
propaganda.
The Department of Justice has been
given all of the facts in the possession
OF the State Department and has been
asked to locate the center in this
country from which this talk pro-
coeds. The State Department believes
that II comes through Switzerland,
where international Socialists have Il
large center at Geneva. and is then
smugSled into the United States.
NigOr In Preparations
The statement, coming when for
NAL declaration of Germany's terms
may be expected at the Vatican at
any moment, is considered to serve
notice on Berlin that the United States
VIII. not be misled by indefinite prom
ises. 1t adds clarity to the position
Of the administration that the United
States is not shrinking from the task
before her, and that the preparations
to beat Germany on the battlefield will
go on with all the vigor Of which the
administration is capable,
1t was made very clear that the
State Department does not include
the Vatican in the German propa-
ganda. The Department recognizes
that the Pope's efforts for peace, even
though they may be considered ILL
timed. are prompted only by the mo-
tives proper to the head of the church
whose followers are suffering on both
sides Of the bloody struggle.
But the Administration is plainly
indignant over peace talk of the sort
that has been filtering into this coun-
try anonymously. Little fear was ex-
pressed that such talk would have
any effect upon American sentiment
But the Administration, particularly
i'm the light of the revelations of the
Swedish-Argentine scandal, is deeply
concerned over the fact that Germany
still has apparently reliable means of
communicating with this country.
State Department Silent
The State Department would have
nothing to say yesterday about the
reports regarding Chancellor Mich
aelis's efforts to frame a reply to the
Pope or about reports from Rome
that the Pope expects peace by
Christmas. a prediction as to how
the United States would regard the
methods of the German chancellor in
calling the Reichstag and Bundesrath
to his aid in framing the peace terms
was refused. The offer Of Germany
will have to stand the tests demand
ed by the President when it is sub
mitted for consideration.
The Administration, according TO
yesterdays statements, has not turn
ed its face against peace. It has set
forth the objects for which the Unit
States is fighting and how the at
tainment of those objects may be
made possible by Germany. 1t will
listen to any proposal which contains
just satisfaction for the allied cause
and which is guaranteed by a name
better than that of the German mill
tary autocracy.

LIBERTY LOAN REPORT

Probably in no district IN the state
was the results of the campaign for
sale of Liberty Loan Bonds more
gratifying than in the district made
up Of the eastern Ealf Of Dickey
County with quote of eighty thous-
and dollars.
The work was seriously handicapped
by the short time allotted and the un-
favorable weather and bad roads.
The splendid results were only OBJ
tanned through the united team work
of a large number of live wires among
the business men of Cakes. These
gentlemen quit their business, went
out at their own expense with their
automobiles for several days.
Through this work there has been
brought about tremendous change of
sentiment for the better. Our people
today are behind the government al.
most to a man. and will stay there un-
lii the end of tie war. This stands
for even more than the mere sub
scription Of bonds.
Good weather and more time would
have made large increase in the
number of subscribers and amount
subscribed. 1t was impossible to see
many who would have gladly sub.
scribeG..
Total number Of Individual subscrip.
tions for this district is seven hundred
and five. Total amount Of subscrip.
tions $112.o5o,
The splendid help rendered me in
this campaign was one of the most
gratifying experiences of my life and
! want to extend to all. my warm ap.
probation Of the work done.

New York, Nov. 5.-The German

Rhine-Marne canal, indicates that
American artillery is now firing its
shells directly on German territory.

The Western battle front crosses
the Rhine-Marne canal within easy
artillery range of the German boun-
dairy of Lorraine. By revealing the
spot where Teutonic raiders found the
American trenches, the kaiser has
been compelled to permit the Ger.
