the. terms, if they could be called , terms. were published in print. They were commented on unfavor- ably by the papers of the United States as improbable of acceptance. They were critically commented upcn in the British House of Con- mons and Lloyd George in a state mont to the Commons indicated that the Entente could not but re gard that these proposals were i'm possible.
 Moreover they were rejected chat is a matter of history. They were rejected by the Entente Allies as ii was suggested in innumerable American papers which considered the Indefinite terms too unspecific and too shadowy to be likely to be entertained for one minute by ( single ole of the Powers.
 Especially wa9 that feature of the German peace prooosal, as made open and public by the publication of the proposals itself, wherein Germany spoke and acted as a vic tor in the premises, rejected with scorn and anger by the Entente.
 After the rejection of the peace terms, following a conference Ci tac different Allies at Paris upon | the part of representatives of each Of the affected Enente nations, the Kaisor declared that they would force peace with th,ir victorious armies because of that rejection.
 These a:e all matters that ap- Dcared in al the papers of tAe time without exception. They were mat ters which were not suppressed il any way, And the story now told by Pearson's Editor is one of the most amczing pieces of magazine fiction ever concoctcd or the entire nation has for some eXtraordinary reason been deluded by the press | and Ey the government; by the press in the presentation oi an en- tirely different set of facts and cir cumstanccG and by the government in the suppression of the real facts and the real circumstances sur rounding the German peace offer.
 It is, none the less, astounding that Pearsons Magazine would publish in evident sheer good faith or in evident deliberate intention to deceive, an array of allegations entirely opposite to the facts that were published and disseminated as news in the papers and by the officials of the various powers from day to day.
 It is, none the less, astounding that a set of allegations such az the foregoing could be published by the magazine when the public has come to know better by reason oi

That may be justification enough for the war and iii any other man than Wilson, so dedicated to the cause of Peace at all costs, It surely would have been.
 Frankly it is just this uncer- t2inty and vague failure to pro- perly app-aiso the real meaning of the submarine defiance that occa- sions some doubt as to whether or not the Pearson's article to which reference has been made is wholly a tissue of falsehooGs or the clever connection of an over acute sensa- tion loving journalistic imagination. Moreover hints have been let fall from British statesmen in the re- cent past that there was "a time when the nations were or the verge of peace.
 It may be true that there are more things happening than are dreamt of in our published diplo- macy,and if there are, that is all the more reason why the people, all the people, should be taken into the confidence of q government of the people for the people by the people. It is in this way that the administration will be strengthened in it's policies and it is in this way that the nation will be unified and strengthened beyond words by that unfication.

the open manner in which the whole German peace negotiations have been carried on.
 If the statements ill Pearscn's Magazine contain the truth what is the American public to think ot the complete peryersion of fact which it been allowed to absorb as the true facts and as the true set Of circumstances surrounding this most critical period in all the war h the first place the story as told by Harris in Pearson's is calculated to place President Wilson and h.s government and the American peo- pie in declaring war in such a po- sition Of invulncrabla right that, it is simply extraordinary that no such details were before given the public. It is not true that the ac- tion taken by the government in breaking Of. relations with Germany is one which carried within itself the justification for that action. So serious a step is declaration of war, that no just cause would justi- fy it in itself, and not be the better for making public from end to end of the nation and from end to end of the earth the facts which are the basis for that declaration
 In any event the Public is en- titled to further consideration and surely the last has not been heard of this extraordinary article in Pearson's Magazine. It is state ment which ought to be either promptly denounced by those in positions to denounce it or admitted as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If it IS the truth it places the American na- tion in this war in such a position of whole-soulcd righteousness that not a single sensible and sane per son however rabidly pacificist he m?y, be but would hesitate to sup port and approve the position taken by the President.
 It is entirely beside the queaion that the tactic of frightfulness of the German nation at war, of the autocratic manner of it's military authority and it's ruthless lack Of consideration of the rights of others is ample to justify the war upon the part of America.
 It is a true saying that thrice is he armed that hath quarrel just; but the justice of the posi- ticn becomes impregnable to criti
 cism when it can set forth such series Of facts as is alleged in the 1 Pearson article in justification of the action of the Wilson admins 1 tration. It is to be admitted that l President Wilson in the adoption of
 his war policy is not quite immune
 from the danger of being charged
 with similar inconsistent respons- l ibility as is outlined in the East
 man article. Many of President i Wilson's most devoted admirers
 have admitted that his change from
 pacific to war policy occa3i0ned
 astoniahment. It IS a change that
 is not wholly explained by reason
 Of the uitimatum in the Sussex
 note or the sudden defiance of the American position by the edict di-
 recting the ruthless diver policy.

Parasuay's sspldsr Lace

Missionaries In Paraguay more than
200 years ago taught the native In
dams to make lace by hand Since
that day the art has greatly developed,
and In certain Of the towns lacemaking
Is the chief occupation. Almost all the
women, many children and not Q few
men are engaged In this Industry. A
curious fact with reference to the Par
aguayan lsces is that the designs were
borrowed from the strange webs WOW

abound in that country. Accordingly

CONTRIBUTION OF
 HUMBOLDT LARGE
 TO THE RED CROSS
(From Sundays Daily.)

As a result of the bazaar, dramatic entertainment and ball recently held at Humboldt in aid of the American Red Cross, together with a subscrip- ton list, total sum of Sl,l70O6 was received. The Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company generously paid all the expenses, so that it has been possible to forward the gross receipts to the American Red Cross at Wash ington, D. C., to be used as may be deemed best at headquarters.
 The result is very gratifying to all concerned and especially so to the ladies of Humboldt who, with Mrs. Colvocoresses at their head, worked so hard and nobly in the cause. A Humboldt auxiliary is being planned to continue work on behalf of the Red Cross in various ways, as may seem most effective from time to time.

BULLDOG CIDER CASE LOST BY
 WALTER HILL
SUPREME COURT HOLDS
 LOWER COURT RIGHT IN FINING PROMINENT DRY WORKER FOR SALE OF HUSKY APPLE JUICE.
(From Tuesdays Daiiy.)

News was received here Sunday that Walter Hill, prominent merchant of Phoenix and Prescott had lost his appeal to the Supreme court from sentence of the Superior court of Maricopa county on a charge of vio- lating the prohibition amendment The case grew out of the now famous bulldog" cider that was sold in Phoe- nix shortly after prohibition became effective and before the personal use decision let the bars down to those who wanted private stocks of liquor.
 Alr. Hill was an active prohibition worker, a fact which makes his con viction on a charge of violating the liquor laws quite ironical. The Wal ter Hill Company sold five barrels of cider to one Troutner, and after its delivery by Troutner to distributors. it was found to contain 7X per cent alcohol. It was the stand of the ap- pellant that he did not know the na- ture of the beverage. but the court held that the fact his company hand led the drink and sold it, involved violation of the law. P. w. Duncan, Hills manager, who actually delivered the goods, was freed by the Supreme court

ceivcd commendation from the secre- tary of war. Later he took part in the Neg Perces Indian war, and resigned his commission to enter civil life, coming back to Arizona to engage in mining near Prescott. With his ex- perience in three wars, with which is combined an exceptionally fine mili- tary record, this valiant soldier may again take part in his fourth brush with the enemy. There are several hundred in this State who would gladly volunteer for duty in any com mand in which Colonel Brodie figures. He is now residing in New Jersey with Mrs. Brodie Their son, Sandy is also to follow a military career, being a cadet at West Point.

BowersA AgainAn Innate Of County
 Euil-Doers Hotel
(From Tuesdays Daily)

w. A. Bowers is again boarder al the county hotel.
 It may have been dissatisfaction with Bills bill-o-farc or 1t may have been disgust at the narrow quarters, but Bowers departed from his resi- dcncc here about a month ago. He neglected to arrange for being away. He was supposed to remain about SIX months longer.
 Two insane persons were indirectly responsible for the return of Bowers. Constable Wm. Fitzgerald had taken inc two nuts" to Phoenix to the asylum. And therein Phoenix, not in the asylum-he saw Bowers. He persuaded the wanderer to return to the Yavapai county jail.
 Bowers was arrested and later pleaded guilty to charge of swiplng q lot of hides at Congress Junction, and shipping them, together with some stolen automobile supplies, to Phoenix for sale.
