Central High Notes

All boys over 16 years of age who
wish to join the Boys Reserves are
requested to hand their names to
Principal III. G.. Dibble at once.
There seems to be a rumor going
around among the student body to
the effect that students with con-
ditions are not eligible to the choir.
This is a mistake and all those who
tried for the choir last spring should
see Principal Dibble Immediately if
they desire to enter the choir this
term.
Inquiries concerning lost and
found articles" will be made at the
office in the future. There will be
no chapel announcements concern
ing them.

MEANS NOTHING.

LONDON, Aug. 7.-The fact that the German Chancellor has spoken three times and at three different places upon Germany's readiness for an honorable peace has no signifi- canoe. is the final criticism, of the metropolitan papers this evening commenting upon the latest utter anCes of the Chancellor.
 The view that both sides under stand that peace will be determined by the standing of the powers when such negotiations open, will not be overlooked in properly appraising the statements now issued. None of the London papers see any singns of peace in sight and are reluctant to engage in what is considered a use- less discussion.

 BERLIN, Aug. 7.-The entry of China into the war is being discus sed in all the papers, but it is being treated with indifference. A vein of irony pervades most of the com ment. It is taken to indicate the weakness of the Entente.

COPPER REPORT AWAITED.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7.- The report of the Federal Trade commission on the price of copper is expected shortly. It will be re- collected that the copper companies offered to supply the United States in case of war, with all the copper they wanted at siAtene cents pound. When war broke out they swelched on this proposition and demanded a minimum of 26 cents pound. Union miners have guaranteed the government that if it takes over the copper mines they will be able to pay eight dollars for six hours work and still get all the copper needed for 22 cents pound.
 The miners claim that the cards are stacked against a square deal.

outcome is that the stamps Of Hong
