ANSWER INSULTING.
International News Service;

International News Service:
BERLIN. Jan. THAT the allies
reply to the German peace proposals
has made il impossible TO bring
about a parley at this time is the
view taken by a number of infiuen-
tial newspapers.
George Bernhardt, writing in the
We ssische Zeitung. calls the answer
insulting" and said there is nothing
TO do now. but go on fighting until
cold steel forces the feverish tenn
perature of Germany's enemies
down TO normal"
The editor of the Lokal AnzeigeF
calls the reply "a frivolous. lying
document. containing not a grain of
truth"
The Lokal Anzeiger goes on TO
say:
1T is insanity for Europe to bleed
10 death. but the allies refuse peace.
Only one reply can cOme-and that
from our armies. Let Won linden
burg answer. We now see that the
world is full of devils. Let every
one in Germany do his utmost so
that they won't succeed"
IL had been hoped in some circles
that the allies reply would be Of
a different tenor. but it was evident
from the tone of the press that
there was more disappointment
than surprise on the part of many.
The official text of the note has
not yet been received by the Ger
man foreign office.

HOPE CENTERED
IN ALLIES REPLY
International News Service /:

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-On the
reply of the entente allies to Pres't
Wilson rests the entire hope of sue
cess coming from peace movements
now cfoot. This is practically the
unanimous opinion Of the admins
tration officials and neutral diplo-
mats in Washington.
Unless in that document there is
clearly indicated some inclination to
actually endeavor TO bring about
peace, or to leave open the door to
discussion Of terms. the collapse
alike of the TeutOnic and neutral
efforts toward peace is gloomily, but
positively advocated.
pain's refusal TO endorse the
presidents efforts are discounted
here as of little importance one way
or the other. This was admitted to-
day at the embassies Of countries in
both warning leagues.
The attitude of the United States
it was pointed out, is the only one
of Importance. as it is the only pow
erful neutral in the world Naturally
it was said, other nations following
its lead would lend more weight TO
any position taken by the American
government, but their opposition
would have no vital effect.
Representative in Washington of
Germanys allies frankly expected
nothing in the loOked-for reply 10
the Wilson note from the entente.
They are pessimistically sure that
the answer TO their own peace dis
cussion offer indicates the attitude
TO be maintained by Great Britain
and its allies.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-On the

Their opportunity to agree 70 a basis

II earlier indications are borne
out and Carranza's objections 10 the
Atlantic City protocol are rejected,
relations between the United states

had before the convention OF the
commission. II the Carranza plea is

Despite the attitude taken by the
American commissioners at Phila-

the conciliatory tone of the latest
objection lodged by the first chief
may result In one more effort by the
commission 10 adjust the unsatis-
factory conditions existing between

Carranza's present objection TO
the protocol is that the de facto
government of Mexico never has
recognized formally the presence Of
American troops in Mexico. and the
fact that the right OF pursuing ban
dts across the international bound
airy reserved to American authori-
ties. is not accorded 10 the de facto
Mexican troops.
The belief here today is that some
informal plan for the withdrawal Of
troops may be reached, but that
under no circumstances will the
American commissioners agree to

BEET SUGAR MEN
OFFER SERVICES
SUPPORT PRESIDENT IN
THE WAR CRISIS.
Judge Rolapp of Great Western Sugar
Company Writes Letter to Wilson
Pledging Cooperation in Ad-
vance of Public Interests.

The beet sugar manufacturers of
the United States have offered their
services to President Wilson in the
war crisis. Judge Henry II. Rolapp
of the Great Western Sugar company,
and president of the United States
Sugar Manufacturers Association, has
just sent the following letter to the
president:
April 81, 1917.
President Woodrow Wilson,
Washington, d. c.
Dear Mr.. President: Believing that
all American citizens, individually and
collectively, are at this particular time
more than ever bound in honor and
duty to assist and support the gov
ernment in whatever way you or its
officials deem necessary for the public
good, the beet sugar industry of the
United States takes occasion to place
itself in readiness for such service,
and in order more efficiently to ac-
complish that purpose, / am author
lied by the United States Sugar Man
ufacturers' association, to appoint,
and have appointed. a committee on
national affairs" with instructions
ito cooperate with the government
or any department thereof, or with
the public, in any matters which will
advance public interest"
Such committee consists of Mr.. w.
L. Petrikin of Denver, president of
the Great Western Sugar company;
c. W Nibley of Salt Lake city, direc-
tor Of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company,
and Francis X. Carey of Baltimore,
president Of the National Sugar COM
pany.
The above gentlemen. or our asso-
ciation at large, will be at the COM
mand Of yourself or any government
department. whether for consultation,
information or service.
Very respectfully yours,
U. S, Sugar Manufacturers Assn.
(Signed) HENRY II. ROLAPP,
President.

KENEHAN HOLDS
STRATEGIC PLACE
IN AUDITOR RACE
DOUGHTY HORSESHOER IS
UP AGAINST FIELD.
Bipartisan Machine Makes Flank
Drive, But Fails to Sway Strong
Position Held by LabOr's
FavOrite Candidate.

Roady kenehan, known to every
union working man and woman in
Denver, will have practically the unit
ed support of organized labor in his
candidacy for election as city auditor.
He has been indoTsed by organized la
Dor generally and has the approval of
all classes of citizens.
For more than thirty years kenehan
has carried union card and he has
supported union principles in polit-
ical Office as well as when he used to
shoe horses in Murphy's shop on
Wazee street. For twenty-five years
secretary-treasurer of the Interna-
tional Union of Journeymen Horse
shoers of the United States and Ca
NADIA, and only relinquished that office
when elected state auditor. Previous
TO that time he served several terms
in the city council. where he was n
valued exponent of labor's interests.
Kenehan is opposed by the Denver
bipartisan machine and every polit-
ical scheme known to professional pol
iticians is being operated to bring
about his defeat at the polls on Tues
day, May Is. Candidates have been
placed in nomination merely as sac
rifice to draw votes from Kenehan.
However, it is not believed that this
will prove successful, because kene-
hans hosts of friends are rallying to
his support and the labor vote is going
10 be practically solid for him.
Kenehan has always been a prime
favorite with the voters Of Denver and
each time he has entered the arena as
n candidate for either state or city
Office has had a big majority, ranging
from 5000 TO $1,000. The people Of
Denver know Kenehan and vote for
him because Of his honesty, integrity
and superior qualifications.
II is generally conceded by friend
and foe alike that he made the best
auditor Colorado ever had. As city
auditor he will achieve an equally
crcditAble record.
