The Corriere d'Italia organ o. the
Vatican, in commenting on the Pope's
disappointment over the vagueness
AMI lack Of sincerity of the German
ard Austrian peace notes, says: 81:

claim openly and clearly that the
war must be prosecuted until the
central powers are brought to red
son.
Extracts from this inspired organ
have been cabled to Washington to
circles. THE notes are
disappointing to the Vatican this
paper adds. because they are so diff
lerent from what we believed they
would be. Neither the Austrian nor
German government commits itself

posed of i'm the United States District
Court today. One of the delinquents
was dismissed, as it was shown TO the
satisfaction of the court that ne had
innocently followed. the. advice OF
Others in whom he had confidence.
The other three received onlyg the
bare suspicion of sentences. One
will spend five days in Jail, another
ore day, and the third delinquent was
dismissed with the order that he reg
lister at once. The United States
Marshal will accompany the .slackers
to the clerks office Of the Corporation
Court of the city, where he will see
that they arc enrolled.
While Judge Edmund Waddill was
disposed to give these delinquents a
chance to redeem themselves, it may
not be supposed. that in future others
who may be charged with failure to
appear before the exemption board
after having been summoned will es.
cape so easily.
In the cases before the court this
morning extenuating circumstances
were urged as excuses for failure to
register.
While we read of hundreds in some
cities ignoring the call to register
so far but few have been arrested in
this city for such derilection of duty
There was but one Alexandrian be-
fore the court this morning. Tho
others were from places in this Con.
gressional district.

The German people want peace.
They may even be clafnoring for it.
The people of Austria facing another
winter of misery and privation, are
crying aloud for a cessation Of hos
tilities. The Germans know, if the
Austrians do not, how they can bring
The war to an end. They have been told
m plain language that they must set
I'D a government in their empire
which the world can treat with.
Whether this means that the Kaiser
must be dethroned or whether it
means that the German people must
assume a commanding voice i'm Their
affairs, we do not know. But we do
know, and they know, that the pres
ent government of Germany is an in
ternational outlaw, and must be dealt
with as such.
Emperor William finds himself upon
the defensive among his own subjects
Twice within a month he has appeal
ed to his people not to allow the ut
terances or policies of enemy govern
ments to ALLEVIATE the allegiance
which those people owe to him. Ev-
identity he feels or fears rising tide
of sentiment against him and the
regime Of which he is the soul.
We may expect the Pope to exer-
else all the great influence of his high
position to bring the belligerents into
discussion Of terms but it is doubt
full if he can make definite Roadway
until German people realize more fully
han now the position in which they
have allowed their government to
place them.

An officer on a steamship now in

The Giornale d'Italia, organ OF

Austrian governments are obviousl!

GERMANY'S NEW TACK

The Washington Herald directs
! attention to the new tack taken by
German officialdom in addressing the
civil population: Eyes, we can wiz
this war, if you (the people, will on.
lily hold Quit" Surely it would be in.
sulting, if not pathetic, this constant
hammering on the German people it
hold out as if they hac not already
held out for three years uGlder thu
; most disheartening conditions that
ever Il modern nation faced. Here is
your true autocratic cowardice when
the handwriting on the wall is seen;
| it is as if the abb were already pre-
pared. as if the Kaiser were almost
ready to say: My brave soldiers
! did not fail me, but my people did.
When the significance of thess
constant adiurations to "hold out"
comes to the German consciousness
what will be the result? A fourth
winter of war approaches, with the
strength and number of their enemies
increasing, with the military often
Sive definitely passed from their
hands. They are the anvil now, not
the hammer. Is it too much to hope
that the coming winter will see the
first Shadowings of decisive sue
cess for the Presidents diplomacy
that he will succeed in asking the
German people to repud:ate then
bankrupt government?
The German people are to awaken
to the real nature of the "beass
whose hoof is on their neck.
The Baltimore Sun speaking upon
similar lines says that the German
and Austrian Governments are more
than willing to discuss peace l.
clear, not only from previous tenta-
tive intimati0nS made during the
Betnmann-Hollweg Chancellorships.
but from the eagerness which they
have shown to meet the suggestions
made in the note from the Vatican.
They are still engaged in fencing
for position and they still refuse to
enter into particulars, but it is mani
fest that they are anxious to grasp
the opportunity which the Pope has
afforded them and are extremely de-
sirous that it should open up way
of escape from a desperate Sltua-
ton. They realize that they are fast
nearing their darkest hour and that
if this hope fails them they will he

tion of peace from far less favor
able standpoint than might be pos
sible on the basis Of the FatlcanS
proposal.
The expectation of triumph on
land has }ong been abandoned by
the Central Powers. and the dream
of ending the war through the sub.
marine is over. With another winter
of privation and internal discomfort
at hand, and facing the grim certain
" that they are making losing

For years towns in Florida paid
the state legal rate of interest, 8
per cent on ordinary loans. The
first City-Manager, at St. Angus
tine, went all the way to New
York for a loan of $4,000 and got
it as a per cent. He did not
patronize home industry, that's
true, but he saved the town $3.50
a year by one act.
What are the dividends which
we may expect through the appli-
cation Of business to municipal af-
fairs? Do we find the tax rates in
successfully managed towns re-
duced to surprisingly low figure?
No. We do find them averaging
lower than before, but not falsely
o. The gain is usually in the form
of increased service to the COM
munity. Taxes should be just and
equitable with service rendered
and the dividends in we'll managed
cities should be-and usually are
clean administration, effective
protection, productive utilities,
good streets, more parks and civic
improvements, better educational
facilities. lower death rate, {
justified civic pride, and prosp
erous community.
| To sum up, the Manager would
have direct control of all depart
ments and employees of the town
He should perpose contracts for
labor and supplies, subject to APP

sent recommendations and budgets
to Council, and Council should see
that they are adhered to. The
