Germany was defeated the day her
armies were first started on their re-
treat toward the Rhine She knows it
and the allies know it. This does not
mean, however, that she is through
fighting or that the war is near over.
Germany may keep up the vain struggle
for many months, in the hope of being
able to secure peace tearms which will
be advantageous, although knowing that
she can never win. 1t is up to the allied
nations to throw every ounce of strength
which she possesses against the enemy
and force the kaiser and his bunch to
accept any peace terms that we may de-
sire to name. Unconditional surrender
by the now defeated enemy is the only
thing that will bring the war to close

WAS AMONG SLAIN

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 19.-Iowa boys
who were with the SSth division at

ORDINARY BAGGAGE

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. 21.-E. H. Glau,
deputy state sheriff. reports the recent
seizure at Mobridge of four trunks
filled with intoxicating liquors, all
bottled n ready for consumption, the
seizure being made by representatives
OF the United States marshal's office
and the state sheriff's office.
This consignment of liquor was pur-
chased by four residents of Mobridge,
at Miles City, Mont, and a con-
signed as baggage to an address in
Minneapolis.
When the train bearing it reached
Mobridge the federal and state Of
ficials took charge of 1t, and it is

days. 1t had been billed as baggage,
but no ticket had been purchased by
the person consigning it and no x
cess baggage charges had been paid

Many efforts have been made recent
ly to make the airplane invisible from
the earth when it is soaring through
the ether. One idea calls for the use
Of transparent material, at least for all
purposes where a canvas covering h
used at present, such as the wings and
the fuselage. One of the latest ideas Of
the kind is said to be an airplane which
uses noninflammable celluloid for the
wings and other parts. and when flying
at a few hundred feet elevation the ap-
paratus is quite invisible, according to
reports. A new muffing box on the
motor serves to deaden the sound. One
advantage OF the -transparence Is that
observations can be made in all direc-
tons.

Peat is 80 antiseptic and absorbent
That 1t Is used as a dressing for wounds
and Is an excellent substitute for medi-
Gated cotton. This fact was recognized
many years 6 in Europe, where
ephagnum peat is now extensively used
In preparing surgical dressings. Ac-
cording to a scientist who has made a
detailed study of peat deposits in the
northern United States, there are many
square miles of sphagnum bog in the
northern counties of Minnesota, Wis
consin and Michigan that would supply
material suitable for antiseptic appli-
cations. Il will not be necessary to in
u the expense Of deep excavation, for
immense quantities OF sphagnum can
be taken from the upper parts of the
deposits. Sphagnum peat is also album
dant In Maine, and some is found in
New York and Pennsylvania.

In the San Luis valley of Colorado
there Is an area OF from 400,0 900 to $780,
600 acres. which has almost completely
been deprived of fertility I'm a seeming
~ mysterious manner. This condition
has been investigated by Dr. w. p.
Headden, OF the Colorado agricultural
experiment station. and he attributes
this condition to the so-called BLACK
alkali," composed largely of sodium
carbonate. This carbonate is carried
in The waters of the valley, including
h rivers and the artesian wells. and
h practice of subirrigation has
brought 1t to the surface by capillarity
and evaporation. DR.. Headden sug-
gests that the remedy lies in a con
version OF the c%arbonates into sulphates
by the use of a liberal moun OF gyp-
sum to one pound of black alkali-and
downward washing by means OF sur
face irrigation with burrows or by
flooding.

MANY ITALIANS May
EMIGRATE TO U. S.
By N WOOD.
United Press CORRESPONDENT.

Rome, (by mail)-With the close of
the war. one Of the most vital and
important questions Italy will have to
settle is that of emigration.
The basis on which this will be adj
1usted between the United States and
Italy already is receiving the most
careful study and attention by the
highest emigration n labor authori-'
ties of the w countries.
Despite the heavy losses Italy. has
suffered during the war. she will never
theless finish the great European con
1lict with something of a surplus of
male citizens, who heretofore have
constituted her greatest expectation to
foreign countries. This is due to q
number OF reasons.
With the outbreak of the was in
1914. Italy. to be prepared for any M
Urgency, Immediately forbade departure
Tor foreign countries of any OF her
sons Of military age This restriction
ever since a been in force, with the
result that Italy has within her bor-
ders the hundreds of thousands Of men
who, blu for the war, would have emil
grated during the last four years.
In addition. with Italy's entrance into
the war: she called to the colors hun
,dreds Of thousands Of other sons who
already had emigrated to foreign coun-'
tries. THESE responded to a remarkable
degree. and a gone to swell the
AAoiaAOeI VI men Wllnln ltalyS borders
who with the close Of the war may de-
sire to emigrate.
{. While the final basis on which Italian
and other foreign emigration to the
united States probably will not be es-
tablished until Q long time after the
war. Italy in the meantime is asking,
Tor wv concessions on behalf of her
emibrattng. workingmen.
The first Of these is that all Italians
VINO returned to Italy from the United
states IN response to Italy's call to the
color. be allowed to return without re-
striction or discrimination Of any sort.
except Tor sanitary reasons. a
The second concession Italy desire.
at one IL that the present clause in the
american emibration law, f%orbiddingi
entrance OF any emigrant who comes
under q labor contract, be set aside
provided he contract is one that has
been approved In advance either by the
american Federation Of Labor or by, the
state employment agencies Of the vari-
U states. aA
With these two concessions 1ta,v
reels that h can tide over the diffi.

mo~bilization Of her millions of sons. un-
til such q time as a more complete en-.
grafton basis can be established with
