washington, Oct. 7.-Washington
regarded the latest Teutonic peace
move as an attempt to barter for
peace, but peace with an advantage
for Germany, before American and
allied arms can visit retribution on
German territory.
In-as-much as the German commu-
nication contains no proposals Tor
the withdrawal of German troops
from allied territory, or a general
and9complete surrender, they are not
acceptable. according to information

Paris, Oct. 7.-Germany does not
accent President Wilson's terms OF
peace. Prince Maximilian's speech
TO the reichstag merely says that the
fourteen and four points, outlined by
President Wilson form a basis for
negotiations. Therefore there can
be no peace until Germany makes
full reparation and gives adequate
guarantees, insuring the future.
This is the stand taken by Paris
and the whole of France on the peace
proposals made by Germany.

BUYING ARMY HORSES
Farm and Fireside)

Every third week a great public
sale is held at the sales yards, and as
many as 5000 horses at a time pass
through the yards on these occasions.
The good ones go at the rate of
one a minute or faster, the manager
told me.
The horses inspected by the United
States officers average about 1900 a
week. 1t is hard work, but it is well
and thoroughly done.
The year 1914 was the high year
for horse sales in Miles City as else
where in the country, for then all the
allied Governments were buying ev-
erything they could get hold of. Dur
ing that year 30,9S3 horses and mules
went out of the sales YARDS; Since
then the buying has been steadier and
more restrained, and the funny stor-
les told of the buyers who knew
horses but spoke no English or who
knew a little English but had no
knowledge Of horses, are decreasing.
The Western horse has been IA
vorite for war purposes, because in its
blood is the strain of the wild horse
of the plains tough and hardy. and
noted for endurance, speed and spir-
it.
