Tips for the Preside Recruit.

If you make the second reserve Of
ficers training camp try to profit by
the experience of those who went into
the first camp at the Preside. in the
first place, do not take Il civilian suit
as you will not be allowed to wear it
at any time. DO not stock up with
uniforms, because you will be ISSUED II
complete outfit and it is much cheaper
to buy from the government. Things
you will need are toilet articles. and il
will be well to have u roll for them,
but not too large Il one. Take towels,
as the government does not furnish
them.
1t will be advisable to take slippers
and "a light bathrobc. A rain coat will
comcin handy. 1t may be used in lieu
OF the bathrobc and also for protcc-
ton outside. A poncho is given you
by the government, which is useful
for protection against rain and must
be used on service. Do not stock up
with shoes. The government issues
one pair and sells additional pairs
cheaper than any ono else. They are
made of good material and will stand
as much wear as any high priced shoe.
White shirts will be in the way.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1917-07-30

You can only wear them when you
leave camp. The 9. ID. shirts issued
by the government are comfortable
and much better adapted for the serv-
ice. \ wrist watch is desirable

TOO EARLY FOR
THE PEACE DOVE
DECLARES CAR
(By Associated Press,)

LONDON, Dec 29.--The official order
issued by Emperor Nicholas stating that
the time has not arrived for peace nego-
tlations, takes the leading place in both
the news and editorial sections of the
evenings newspapers. Some of them sug
gest the other members of the entente
should follow Russia's lead and state
their terms. The Standard says:
I'VE cordially welcome this frank eX-
position of war aims from one consid-
cradle member of the alliance. 1t would
DO no harm and it might do much good
if the other allies made it clear once
for all that there can now be no ques-
tion of restoration of the status quo.
There has been far too much inclination
in this country to treat the mere evacu-
alton of occupied territories as a test
of sincerity on Germany's part. =.
1--WE trust the allies in their reply to
the peace overtures will emphasize the
point made by the emperor, and they
might go further. They might point out
that Prussia has broken faith time and
again, and that there is every reason
to suspect treacherous designs in her
present approaches, and that no peace
could be safe for Europe which leaves
Prussian mllitarism with the prestige
Of victory, which would be hers should
the war be termianted tomorrow.
ALLIES ARE CONFIDENT.
at is now quite time that bepiger-
ents and neutrals understood the true
situation. The allies believe they can
lnf1ict very shortly crushing military
defeat on Germany. She then will be
offered peace on the lines of restitu-
tion of Alsace-Lorraine, REIMBURSEMENT
of her spoiIs the loss of her colonies
and the payment of suitable indemni-
ties while her allies will have to meet
the minimum demands of Russia and
Italy"
The Westminster Gazette expresses
the hope that the allies will reply fully
and adequately to President Wilson's
note, saying
1.-THE note gives us an opportunity
of regtating the case against the central
DO wers of which full advantage should
be taken. Neutrals have a serious in
tereAt in the question of war or peace
and have the right to express their
views. What we have to show them is
that if we continue the war it is not
from mere lust of fighting, or desire
for conquest but from the real convic-
ton that lasting peace cannot be estab-
lished unless definite conclusion of the
is reached.
Meanwhile the German press contin-
ues TO enlarge on the olive branch. The
Vossische Zeitung tells Russia that the
question Of the Dardanelles can be
solved satisfactorily without further
fighting and promises that the Germans
will yield as far as they can without
endangering their future. If the in
ternal situation of the central powers
and their prospects in men and NUM-
lions are what we suppose we shall get
on from point to point until we reach
the stage where our necessary aims be-
come realizable."

FIVE WEDDINGS
IN 10 TO EVERY
TWO DIVORCES

In the county of Fulton during the
year 1916, Cupid won out against Old
Bill Divorce In their annual race for a
record. Statistics announced today show
that FIVE couples were married for every
two divorced.
At the same time Bill showed surpris-
ing speed. He improved on his previous
years form by 100 more separations and
he will begin the New Year with rush.
In one day, Friday, twenty cases were
put on the January docket and it is be-
lieved that the first month will eclipse
all others for the number of divorces
granted, even November, when 200 di-
vorce item, a record. were docketed.
Figures obtained from the ordinary
office show that marriage licenses dur
ing 1916 were granted to 1919 white and
S07 negroes, total of 2,126.
During the six terms of the superior
court of 1915, $50 divorce items were
handled, some of them first and second
degrees and, therefore, repeaters. Deputy
Clerk ]. Clarke Lewis estimates that 554
divorces were granted.
The ratio, as stated above, shows that
the knot was cut in twain but twice
where it was tied five times.
