WAR SAVINGS STAMPS MUST
 NOT BE CASHED NOW.

We notice that the postmasters all over the state are being besieged by holders of War Savings Stamps mostly those having goodly sums and the smaller holders-asking cash for them right now. These people seem unaware of the fact that they are act ing just as slackers and pro-German propagandists would have them act. The Government needs this money now more than ever-and, by the way, the Government will get the money needed, too If these people cash in their stamps a list of them will be turned into the Government and they will surely hear from it in way to surprise them The only expense saved by the armistice is the ammu- nition bill-and of course, not all of this is saved. It will take at least $1, 5OO,OO0,000 month yet to conduct our affairs pending final peace.

LANSING, HOUSE AND
 WHITE, DELEGATES

Washington, Nov. 28-The impress sion is growing among those who have talked with President Wilson about the peace conference that the American delegation will be limited to three members, and speculation over the members has about narrow ed down to these names:
 Robert Lansing, secretary of state.
 Henry White, ambassador to France and to Italy under the Me Kinley administration.
 Col. E. M. House.
 There has been no announcement and there may be none before the president addresses Congress next week, but it was said tonight White House callers had been given to un- derstand that these men would be the American envoys. It also was indi- cated very definitely that reports of the president having decided to sit at the peace table as delegate were untrue. He goes to take part in the great preliminary meetings of the heads of the associated governments
 nd to see the formal conferences un- der way, but rot to serve as dele gate.

GERMANY RECEIVES
 LITTLE SYMPATHY

London, Nov. 28.-Germany's par sistent efforts to arouse sympathy in allied countries in order to secure fla vorable terms of peace is meeting with little response in England, judg- ing from the tone of the comment in the British press.
 The attitude of the London news papers is reflected in an editorial pub Issaed in the Westminster Gazette to- day, which says that German states, whatever their form, must pay the bill and that Germany as whole must be held responsible for the con seouences of the war. The newspaper says that the allies may find that, like Austria, Germany may burst in to fragments before the negotiations are completed.
