The proposal for peace presented
by Austria, which is a non-binding
discussion of peace has been accepted
by Germany. The Berlin government
in it's note to Vienna declares:
"Austria's summons to belligerents
to enter into an unbinding discussion,
in a neutral country, of the funda-
mental princiles for the conclusion
of peace comes with spirit of readi-
ness and conciliatoriness which we
have again and again announced. The
receipt with which previous similar
steps have been met is not encourag-
ing. Germany is ready to participate
in the proposed exchange Of ideas"
The proposal was also sent to this
country, but was treated very differ

TOOK FLING AT BOOSTERS
Visitors Suggestion Probably Did Not
Tend to Make Him Popular
In Los Angeles.

Merle Sidener, local advertising
man, recently returned from a West.
ern trip in which he visited the city
of Los Angeles. He was impressed
with the boosting of the Los Angeles
citizens and said he learned that an
Oregon colonel from Portland was the
guest of honor at a banquet in Los
Angeles. The usual after-dinneI
speeches were made, all boosting the
city of Los Angeles, but each speaker
regretted that Los Angeles had moi
been founded on the coast. The speak,
ers all said that had the city been or
the coast instead of ten miles or sc
from 1t, the city would be the garden
spot of the world. The visiting colo.
mel was called on to speak and said:
Gentlemen, 1 am impressed with
your city as much as you are and be.
lieve that can suggest a way IL
which you can accomplish your wish
All Of the citizens present leaned
forward eagerly, for this was no doubt
the solution that had long been wait
ing for. The colonel continued:
"This is what you should do. Oh
tain large pipe, run it from the cen.
ter of your city into the ocean and il
you can suck as hard as you can blow

DynamItinu the Pothunter.

The newspapers OF the country have
almost everywhere been a powerful
force in crystallizing the sentiment OF
the protection by proper laws of fish
and game as important resources OF
the commonwealth.
A New Jersey editor, q thorough
sportsman, says Wild Life, recently re.
ceived from a reader who desired to
take fish by questionable means q
letter that contained this request:
please advise me how to dynamite
a stream"
The newspaper man sent the follow.
ing advice:
Four sticks of dynamite are suffi.
cient. Tie them securely around your
neck, attach fuse, light it and run as
fast as you can away from the water,
to avoid injuring the other snakes AMI
reptiles"

The Smash Continues

The first American field army has
obliterated the ST. Mihiel salient ana
Strengthened the line east of Verdun
and now stands before Metz, into
which American shells are falling.
Before the allies there now stands
the great lines constructed by the Ger
mans during four years of warfare.
These are not simple trenches but vast
field Notifications which stretch from
the North sea, with few Interruptions
to the Swiss frontier.
This general line of defensive posi-
tions has become known as the Hin
denburg line, but to different sections
of it have been given names from the
old German epic of the Niebelungen-
lied.
Germany has lost her chance to
force peace on the allies before Amer
lean armies enter the fight with all
their strength. This was her hope in
March. Losses of a serious nature
were suffered by the allies during the
long battle, but they have been more
doubly offset by the infiowing Ameri-
can legions. Germany's losses, on the
other hand, cannot be made good
Hope blasted, crack divisions broken
up, and seeming victories turned into
defeats have Slapped the morale OF the
German armies which today are on the
defensive everywhere.

COLONEL HAD LAST WORD
Officers Joke Was All Right Until the
Commander Got Tired of
Hearing 1t.

A well-known French colonel had
mania for questioning his officers about
their families, invariably starting of
with: "What is your fathers profess
sion, your mothers, and your sis
ter's?"
Sop,e of the subalterns became so
wearied of this endless repetition that
they decided among themselves 70 give
each in turn the following reply:
my father is shoemaker, my moth
er is a laundress, and my sister is
very Eighty"
On the following Sunday, after the
customary church parade, the colonel,
who had already received the same
answer to his questions from two or
three of the officers, turned to another
and started off in the old stereOtyped
strain: what is your fathers profes.
Sion?"
HE is shoemaker"
sand your mother's?"
"She is laundress."
'That will do" interrupted me
colonel, 81 know the rest; your sis
ter is Eighty and you will consider
yourself confined to barracks until
she behaves betterl"

According to Lieut.. Depret Bixio of

feet, after which they die. Grasshop.

The base of his discovery lies in his
finding that sugar applied to the nron-

No sstter Security on Earth.

The credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after the Spanish war,
2 per cent bonds were offered at par
and oversubscribed. This is a finan-
cial performance no other nation has
ever equaled. United States 4 per
cent bonds in 1888 sold as high as $50,
and in 1901 brought 1919 on the stock
market. The United States has new.
Pr defaulted on any of its bonds. Not
one of its bondholders has ever lost
cent of principal or interest. except
those who voluntarily have taken
losses by selling their bonds in a pc
riod of temporary price depression
