THE AMERICAN REPLY TO AUS.
TRIA'S PEACE FEELER.

The answer Of the United States gov.
eminent to Austria's peace feeler finds
ready sympathy throughout the whole
country Indeed, it accords exactly with
the sentiment of the American people
1t says that the position Of the United
States on peace has been stated as ex-
plicitly as possible and that the United
States still stands by the grounds then
taken. If Austria wishes to consider
such proposition as the United States
advances, then the United States will be
ready to enter into conference with
the Vienna government. If not, Austria
can shift for herself. The United States
cannot treat with Austria while all the
time Austria is tied to the tail of tbs
German descending kite President viii,
sons answer is short, almost brusque
but it states the whole situation. Nc
doubt, it expresses the sentiment of al
our allies in this great struggle and will
be used by them as their reply to the
feeler put out ostensibly by the Austrian
government.

entire organization, extending even to
the smallest countries. Such spark is
furnished by the consciousness that the
entente is fighting for the right against
the world oppressor, and when the con-
sciousness of right dominates a people it
is difficult to snuff out the fighting spirit.
The restoration of the Serbian army to
the point at which it can launch strong
offensive is one of the most encouraging
signs of recent times that the cause Of
the entente allies is sure to win the de-
cisive victory Little Serbia may have
had its territorial kingdom wiped out by
the ruthless foe, but the real kingdom of
Serbia still exists in the minds and
hearts of the courageous Serbian people,
only waiting for the time when the Wis
ible manifestation of that kingdom can
be set up again. And while it is waiting
it is fighting, fighting as valiantly as any
Of the allies. The Serbians deserve the
pIaudits of the entire world outside of
the central powers. They have the new.
er,die spirit.

THE COME. BACK OF THE SERBIAN

THE COME BACK OF THE SERBIANS.
The rehabilitation Of the Serbian
army, as indicated by their vigorous on
slaught against the Bulgarians in the
Saloniki district, with the assistance of
the French, shows the great efforts which
are being made to put the entente allies
in shape to deliver the coup de grace to
the central powers, chiefly Germany, The
fact that the Serbians, recently reported
by Germany as put out Of the war, are
able to place an effective army in the
field after all the trials and discourage
ments that have come to them reveals
that the entente cause has a remarkably
strong vital spark running through its

The Norefos soon ran short Of fuel
and an effort was made to utilize
green peanuts from the cargo but
they soon developed gas which
caused numerous small explosions in

no more peanuts were used and for
several days the Norefos wallowed
along with the wind and tide. When
