SIGNS OF WEAKENING,

The kaiser must be wearing his crown more uneasily than ever since his repeated at tempts to conclude a peace have failed.
 Only desperation could have led him to believe that Russia could induce the allies to enter into a peace discussion. The plan was not feasible and was made after repeated statements by the allies that peace will come when Germany is defeat cd and has so announced.
 Presiden Wilson has ex- pressed the allied peace ideal when he said that peace will De made with the German peo- pie, and not with the German emperor.
 That means that peace-time will be at hand when the kaiser IS ruined and when the war mad Hun has thrown off the in cubus of militarism and awak- "ned into the TeuOn who will settle down into a new world, working to repair the damage of war and to forget the sor- "oWs and despair that the Prus- sian idea, gone insane, inflicted nDon humanity.

 been the propaganda of wild ] eyed dreamers who would see
 the situation, not as it is, but
 as they would have it; and ve-

 With this menace in our midst, shall we be as slow to wake up as was England? Shall we not heed her clarion call to profit by her example? Shall we wait for the best blood of our nation to be spilled upon the fields of France before we can grasp the crux of the bat tie to be waged at home by every man, woman and child who is American? Ours is not a fight of avarice or conquest. We have not set up a pagan god to war with the kaiser's Thor. Jehovah, the God of Battles still is ours and 1t shall be ours to win for Christianity. civilization and liberty for all men if we do our duty. But there are other things neces- sary to solidify the nation along with conservation, Hoo verizing and allied propa- ganda.

In this grave crisis the government has not established military law nor defined lese majeste; 1t has believed in the sincerity and patriotism of all it's people.

JESSE ABBOTT
MUST STAY TN
GLASS ONE-A

Jesse Abbott, we'll known In this
city, who recently took an appeal
from the decision OF the district ex-
emption board and the local board OF
Ada county, to the United States dis
trict court, was given an adverse de-
cision by that tribunal Thursday.

and evidence In the matter. George
A. Atwater. who was present at the
hearing said the record would be
made Immediately, as two members Of
the board were present In the court
room. o. F. Short. the other member
Of the board referred to, and Mr.. At
water met at once to add the neces-
sary record to the papers filed in the
Abbott case, to make 1t possible to
file the second petition at once, IL the
petitioner sees IT.
Argument Thursday centered about
q requirement OF the Questionaires,
compelling the board to set forth its
reasons for placing an applicant in a

placed In class one. before the board.

ally reopened ct his request for the
taking OF additional evidence. When
the board refused to place him In a
lower class. he appealed the findings
OF the board to the federal court.

cording to the records OF the hearings,
and Mt one time there was consider

jury against the applicant.
O. II. Woods, the attorney who 10

ceedings, said Thursday that he was
acting merely MS matter of seeing
Justice done, and that he had asked
no fees and expected none as q result
