A. Livelys Time.

Early last Sunday ming
when the report came that Tur-
key and Austria Hungary had
surrendered. every noise making
device in the community was
called into service and soon the
populace had gathered about
huge bonhres in the street. sing
ing and shouting. No heed was
paid to drenching rain. An
effigy OF the kaiser was hrst
hung, then shot down, and
burned. The dummy, stuffed
with paper donated by the Oak
ley Publishing Company, bore q
remark able resemblance to Mr.
Bill Hehenzollcrn except that II
was headless. However, wher
our boys get through with th'
aforementioned Mr. Hohenzol
lcrn he will look even more
chewed up than did tue efhgy.

GERMANS PRESSED !
BACK ON ALL SIDES
HUNS FROM ARRAS TO THE
VERDUN SECTOR.
kaisers Forces, Badly Defeated in
Belgium, Removing Guns in Read
iness for Retreat Back to
German Soil.

Paris--While Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary are clamoring for peace
the entente allied governments thus
far are paying scant heed to the pro-
posals but their armies are pressing
forward to further victories on all
fronts.
Over wide extent of territory, out
lined by burning villages. the Ger
mans are retreating rapidly before
General Gouraud's troops. They are
crowded by General Berthelots forces
from the west and in danger of being
cut OF by the Franco-Americans, who
have crossed the Arnes river.
On the battlefront the Germans
everywhere are being forced to give
ground to the allied troops. In Bel
gum the enemy Is gradually being
pushed eastward, and in anticipation
Of forced final withdrawal is con-
tinulng to make ready for that even
tuality by removing his guns and
otherwise lessenlng the value OF his
defensive works in the territory upon
and adjacent TO the North sea coast.
The past week has seen one victory
after another by the allies.
To the south from Arras to the Yer
dun sector the Germans are being
hard pressed by the British, Ameri-
can, Italian and French forces, and,
although on numerous sectors they
are still offering desperate resis-
tance, they seemingly are unable to
do more than retard the advance of
their foes.
Douai, south Of Lens, Is almost en-
veloped and Cambria has been fur
ther endangered through the capture
OF the village of -Bois.
flSey n1tses to- the ssoutheast. where
more than 1000 Germans were made
prisoner Hard fighting has taken
place around Montbrehain and Beau
revoir, In the immediate vicinity,
where the Germans have brought up
fresh reserves In an endeavor to keep
Field Marshal Haig's men from cut
ting the highly important ST. Quentin
lie Cateau road, from which they now
are but step. Both Beaurevoir and
Montbrehain are now in British
hands.
With the Germans being defeated
over wide areas by the French and
Americans, from Rheims to the Ar
gonne forest, the Italians south OF
Laon have begun an offensive, which
seemingly has as its objective the fin.
ishing of the work previously begun
by the French for the obliteration OF
La Tere and Laon.
In the Macedonian theater the al
lied troops have compelled the Aus
trians to withdraw from the El Basan
sector and other positions, while nea,
Vranje. central Serbia, the French
and Serbian troops have captured
Austro-German held positions. In thu
latter region the enemy is retiring
northward in disorder.

TOO BUSY TO DISCUSS PEACE.
Unconditional Surrender Of Central
Powers Is Official Sentiment.

Washington.-The outline of terms
which Prince Maximillian is said to be
ready to discuss and the report that
he is ready to consider President Will
sons fourteen points In no way af-
fectS the situation.
The United States government is
not going to enter into discussion OF
terms with the German government no
matter how ingeniously the Teuton
diplomats approach the subject Of
peace. President Wilson in his.aust
speech made it very clear, it is point
ed out. that this government was not
interested in terms.
Officials therefore do not care par
ticularly what sort of terms Prince
Maximillian wants to discuss. The
fact of the matter, according to the
best available information here, is that
the United States is now too busy
bringing real peace nearer through
prosecution of the war to be side
tracked into useless consideration Of
made in Germany" terms of any sort.
Germany obviously is trying to keep
the peace talk going because 1t is all
to her advantage to do so.
1t is admitted here that the first OF
these ingenious peace feslers is bound
to attract considerable notice In the
United States and in entente coun-
tries. but 1t is believed that the pub
lie will soon become used to these eff
fusions.

Ano ther Attempt.

The Huns have made another
desperate attempt to get peace.
Prince Macmillan, the new
Chancellor has made overtures
to President Wilson. We be
lieve the prince is sincere in his
desire for peace, and we also
believe him to be mere cats
paw OF the Kaiser and militants
to draw out the Allies, and at.
tempt to hood wink the Allies
with the idea that Germany is
becoming democratic. The Kai-
ser and Junkers are still IN con-
troll OF the government; and
the Allies know this. Unfor-
tunately, we cannot believe in
the sincerity of the move on
part of the Prussians Presi-
dent Wilson insists that he
will not consider peace as pro-
posed by the German militarists
The message sent to the German
government plainly and un-
equivocally places before them
the requirements OF the Allies.
They are evacuation OF all
conquered territory AS pre-
requisite to negotiations. This
alone shows good faith on the
part of proffer Of peace. The
president has put the question
of peace squarely up to the
German Government and the
German people.

pushing the fight and giving his
money voluntarily.
The above statement does not
attempt to give one reason why |
Albion should retain the county |
seat, and every reason given a
gainst removing it to Burley is
false and reacts in Burlcy's fs-
vor. The half-block OF ground
offered by Burley as a site for
the courthouse is the most de-
slrable vacant lot in the city.
While its value does not enter
into the question, it is worth
more money than any tour va
cant blocks in any other town
in the county. and 1t is large E.
nough for the courthouse and
any other buildings the county
may desire to erect. No one
who is honest with himself will
deny the fact. A 100000
courthouse would look we'll
there. but let us not forget that
two thirds of the people OF the
county would have to be in fa-
vor of the bonds before such a
building could be erected. Bur-
ley alone could not do it any
more than the people of Albion
can.bond the county to erect a
courthouse in Albion.
True the BurleY city hall is not
completed, but contracts will be let
for its completion before the peo-
| pie vote upon the removal of the
county seat here, and Cassia count,

This is guaranteed by the people

election day, just as the city coun-
Gil was authorized to turn the half
block of ground over to the cit]
for the site for the courthouse.

Burley has raised no slusl
fund to carry on campaign
for the removal OF the count,
seat. What little money i
spent will be more than savel
to the people OF the county ev
cry year by having the count,
seat in a convenient and acces
sible place. The move is an E.
economical one tor the county t,
make, and should be taken as
war measure in conserving tim
and money spent in unnecessar,
travel by our people if for n,
other reason.
But the reasons why the coun
ty seat should be moved t
Burley are that BuIley is tn

accessible point for nine tenth
of the people of Cassia county

. A PROSPEROUS YEAR

Business experts foresee a record
breaking year of industrial and com
mercial activity. Frank A. Vanderlip
the banker, voices the general opinion
when he says:
THE production OF our industries
both in quantity and in value will be
greater than ever before. Employ.
ment will be complete. and the ag.
gregate of payments in wages will
be far ahead Of any previous year
The income of our farmers will be
larger than ever before There will
be an unusual distribution of income
among the masses Of the people. and
this purchasing power will make a
large market for necessities and es.
sentials, not to mention luxuries
The government is going to need .
tremendous amount of money to carry
on the war But Mr. Vanderlip re,
minds MS that if we produce as much
as the governments program re.
uuires. our earnings will be plenty
large enough to take care of that
We have at heart something far
more important than business or
profits Nevertheless. it doesn't dc
any harm to realize that we're going
to have material prosperity along with
our struggle for high spiritual ideals
