In England everybody is in the
war game. AS Captain Hutchinson
recently reminded us, the father
and even the grandfather is at the
front; sister and mother are max
ing munitions; and the boy is at
one of the cadet camps or schools
preparing to fill the armies of the
future.
More than three-fourths of all
munitions workers in England are

In England, home life is thing

Kaiser Bills germ allies rather
got the better Of the Councils pub
licity man last week, and when he
should have been preparing the
Bringing the War Home" column
he was instead at home with a
rather troublesome attack of ton
sOlitis.
However. one OF the w. s. S.
force came to the rescue with q
contribution which, although
brief, more than did credit to the
department.
In PrOwers County, as in every
other county and section of the
country, this is War Savings Stamp
Week.
This week we pledge our finan-
cial support in its W. S. s. cam
paign.
As Captain John Evans, Pro
vost Marshall of Colorado, recently
said, This week we-the men and
women who cannot shoulder a
musket or man q gun-signify our
desire to take more than a spec
tator's part in the war, and regis
ter for the Great Home Army-en-
list our savings even though we
cannot enlist ourselves"
BY the way, have you the plan
for this w. s. s. campaign thor
oughly in mind? 1t is simple and
there ought to be no lack of un-
derstanding.
Briefly, it is this: Of our $274-
900 quota, Prowers county has to
date subscribed for less than $685.
600 of the IS War Savings Stamps
! offered by the Government during
1918. We have not realized the
BIGNESS Of the proposition. We
have loaned our quarters, whereas
we should have odered our dollars,
and in liberal quantities. at that.
This week-and particularly up
on the afternoon of Friday, June
28th-we are asked to register our
names and at the same time, sig
nifty first, how many w. s. S. we
have bought; second, how many w.
s. S. we WILL BUY during the
year 1918.
Your schOOlhouse is your place
OF registration. Each school dis
ftrict, as well as each town in the
county, has quota. Upon the
evening. Of Friday, June 2Sth, the
total of pledges from each district
is EXPECTED TO LITERALLY
EXCEED THIS QUOTA.
Remember, our quota in this is
much larger than in the last Lib
erty Loan. And no man is per
mitted to buy more than $1,000 of
the baby bonds Therefore we,
the common people, must be even
more liberal than before, if the
drive is to be success

READY FOR JUST PEACE
Foreign Secretary Balfour Declares
There Is Complete Confidence Be
tween the Nations.

London, May 17.-Great Britain IS
nrepared to consider proposals from
the enemy, provided they are put Tor
ward by accredited persons IN .
straightforward manner, Foreign Sec
rotary Balfour declared today IN the
House Of Commons.
"If any representative. Of any bel
ligerent country desires seriously to
Law before US any proposals" he said,
"we are ready to listen to them
The British government was desif-
Gus of an honorable termination Of the
war, he added, but the peace moves OF
the Central Powers heretofore had
not been in the interests OF far ana
honorable peace.
The whole topic of Emperor Charles
proposals was discussed yesterday ii
the House on the initiative OF the
paciGsts and advocates Of peace by
negotiation.
In response TO questions, Mr.. Bal
four said that Emperor Charles wrote
a letter to relative prince Sixtus IS
a brother-in-law Of the emperor) and
that it was conveyed by this relative
to the President and Premier OF
France under the seal of the strictest
secrecy. No permission was given to
communicate the letter to any one cx-
cept the sovereign and premier OF this
country. (This answers the question
which has been raised as to why the
emperor's proposals were not COM
municated to President Wilson,.
The American government. said M.
Balfour, was at the time no better IL
formed Of the facts regarding the let
ter of Emperor Charles than he him
self was, but if any one supposed THAI
on that account any want of conf
dence in the American government
had been shown, he was under a corl-
plete delusion.
MIR. Balfour said he had no secrets
from President Wilson. Every thought
he had on the war or IN regard to
questions of diplomacy connected with
the war was open to the President.
The foreign secretary said he did hot
think it would be possible for the
United States and Great Britain 70
carry on the great work il which they
were engaged or to deal with the com
plicated day-to-day problems without
complete confidence. So far as he was
concerned, complete confidence would
always be given.
There was no one more deslrouS
than the British government, he con-
tinued, that the war should be brought
to an honorable determination. Il any
method could be shown the govern
ment whereby that would be accom-
plished, it would, Of course, be accept
ed He added, however, that no etfor:
at conversations which had been made
by the Central Powers had ever been
made in the interests Of fair and hon
orable peace; to the contrary they had
