General Peace Proposal Rejected.


 Petrograd, via London. May 16.- Having discussed the. conditions nn- der which representatives of the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates would consent to enter the cabinet. the provisional government decided today that 1t was unable to accept the first of these conditions. This called for the enunciation as a fundamental principle of "a foreign policy openly, pursuing the aim of reaching as soon as possible gen. eral peace without Sannexations or in- demnity on the Abasis of the right of nations to work out their own des- tinies. The provisional. governmen, was unable to agree sto such pain ciple, because 1t did not Econaisler pos. sible any remuneration Of principles set forth in it's proclamation o1 April 9. The provisional government further thinks it necessary to confirm the unity of all allied fronts and insists on an energetic struggle against an- archy. To. the financial and economic reforms mentioned by the council of workmen's s and Soldiers Delegates, the government raises no objection, re- garding it as part of it's task to realize such reforms.
 The executive committee of the Duma has approved this decision of the government.
 Washington, May 16.-To costro- vert the German intrigue, which seeks, to convince the Russian people that the American commission, headed by Elihu Root, intends to lend it's infiu- ence to one or another of the fac- tione there, 1t was reiterated officially today that the commission has no purpose whatever of interfering in the internal affairs of Russia and has only two objects. They are: To co1l- vey to the Russian people the grati- f1cation of the United States at the transformation of the ancient despot- ism into republican form of gov ernment and to render any helpful service it can to aid the new govern ment rising from the ruins of the old empire. The commission has no pur-, pose to sway the judgment of the Russian people as to which faction shall control in the organization of a permanent government.
 This statement, made today upon the highest authority. Is for the ex- press purpose of meeting sinister mis- representations by Germany in Rus sic which are calculated to provoke some of the Russian factions into making a separate peace with Ger many before the American commis- sioners- can arrive in Petrograd. The commission is going to Russia as fast as railroad trains and steamships can carry them, on what mounts to 8 race against time.
 Aid to the new republic from the United States will take other forms than the loanfng Of money. Ameri-1 can brains. business methods, powers of organization and facility all will be placed at the disposal of the new government by the commission.

After the preliminary exercises the following address
delivered by General Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva:
have announced as my subject this afternoon, LOvE.
Inasmuch there many themes suggested by this
subject the first being Gods love for u.s. will place
before this brief address the wenown verse; John 316
''For God loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son. that whosoever beeveh in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life"
This subject is great and the sayings recorded in
Gods Word regarding many that is difficult to know
where to begin.

The subject of Love, like verses in the Bible,
simply overwhems the student he begins to study it,
will start therefore, by calling your attention to the
simple fact that down deep your heart believe in the
existence of Cod How is it that of you do not love
Him at ALL of the mysteries. How is it that none of

CATTLE HAVE FOOT TROUBLE
Disease Said to BE Due to Eeating OF
Wild Rye.

Sioux Falls. Jan. l5.-Some OF the
farmers of Clay county are complain
ing about a foot trouble of a mysteri-
Gus character which Is affecting their
cattle. Some who have investigated
assert the trouble is caused by the
animals eating wild rye, which con
tains ergot. Those who hold this
theory as to the trouble are advising
the farmers to be careful when feed
ing hay to their cattle to establish
that there is no wild rye in 1t.
When the disease first appeared in
Clay county cattle herds great alarm
was created, as it vas feared 1t was
the dreaded and fatal hoof and
mouth disease, which during the past
year or two has taken such a heavy
toll among the cattle of the United
States. 1t is believed that with care
in feeding the latest cattle disease
will disappear from the cattle herds
of Clay county.

PROF. JONES' CASE
UNIVERSITY FACULTY MEMBER
EXPLAINS TO LEGISLATORS,
WHO ARE FANORABLY
IMPRESSED.

Pierre, Jan. 15.-Appearing be
fore the house of representatives to
explain his physical research work
among South Dakota students, Prof.
w. Franklin Jones did not apologize
for any of the things he had done,
On the contrary he justified his OPP
e%rations as entirely separate and dis
tinct from the work Of physicians and
the work of ordinary educators. The
appearance of Prof. Jones here was
the result Of a caustically worded
resolution to investigate his sex ex-
aminations.
Prof. Jones, according to his ex-
PLANTATION, does not pose as a school
teacher in any ense. His training
and work has been entirely along the
line Of dealing with physical, mental
and moral defects which interfere
with the educational advancement OF
children. He devotes practically his
entire time to the study OF such
problems and to conducting ed
ucational clinics. Most of the elm
ical work. he says, deals with small
children, often with babies. but oc-
casionally extended to older boys and
girls. even to adults. In the regular
clinics, Prof. Jones states that he is
assisted by physicians and dentists,
with matrons in attendance, and that
the instructions are 10 present no
children without the consent of the
parents.
Following Prof. Jones' talk, legis-
lators were quite unanimous In de
elaring that his duties and activities
had been greatly misrepresented.
They now realize that he is doing a
legitimate work in a Legitimate
science and that the problems treated
are quite removed from the training
of regular medical practitioners.
II think | know how to be both
decent and daring in my professional
work" Prof. Jones said. and | defy
anyone to cite one instance in which
any suggestions or charges have been
made to the contrary"
AS the ease looks, the investigation
resolution will get no further atten-
ton.

courted him. invited him to their
