 London, Jan. "A telegram from Brest-Litovsk to Amsterdam gives a wireless message sent to M. Joftrc chairman of the Russian delegation by Foreign Minister von Kuehimann for the Germans, Count Czernin for the Austrians, Foreign Minister NeSSlmy Bey for the Turkish, and Minister ot Justice Popoff for the Bulgarians. It recalls the fact that when the Central powers outlined the terms on which they were willing to make peace, they stipulated the terms would be com piled with only if all the bclligerentS bound themselves within certain period to observe them. The Russians then fixed ten days in which the other bclligerents were to decide whether to join in the negotiations but noth- ing has been heard from them, al- though such time has elapsed. Another telegram from Brest-Lit- ovsk states informal discussions there Friday took a decision favorable to Germany.

FAMILY DRIVEN OUT

Barnes ordered detail of men to throw quantities of snow on the roof of the ell in order to keep down the heat as long as possible, and then with his own men he proceeded to rip down the shed. Although a number of the spectators made caustic and sarcastic remarks about this work, it's value was soon evident. By demol- ishing this shed before the fire raging in the ell, reached it, the steady onrush of the flames toward the hay-filled barn was arrested It was this act alone that saved the barn and there- fore surrounding properties.
 The dilapidated condition of the hay filled barn also hampered the fire men, and it was necessary to nail number of boards onto the side walls in order to prevent the flying sparks from blowing into the inside of the barn and igniting the hay.
 After battling with the fire until about 3:30 o'clock the local fire fighters returned home, but not until
 they had been generously treated to steaming hot coffee and sandwiches by MT. and Mrs. Olin Oldcrshaw, who were loud in their praise of the work rendered. So fierce was the heat that the paint on the OlderShaw home was 1 blistered and it was impossible for the occupants to remain in the rooms on the southern side of the building. An other Berlin resident, whose name could not be learned at the time, also brought a supply of hot coffee to the firemen.

FORMER AMBASSADOR
PAYS TRIBUTE TO ITALY

PHILADELPHIA, July 23.-Will-
lam Potter. former ambassador to
Italy. and now federal fuel admins
traitor for Pennsylvania, says it Is
time to give the Italian nation credit
for the great part she has played in
the war.
Just consider" said Mr.. Potter,
what might have been the fate OF the
allies had Italy, with her army and
navy, gone with the central powers.
France at the outbreak OF the war
would have had to divide her army
to protect her Italian frontier.
THE small but brave little British
army would have been powerless to
assist France both on the western
and Italian fronts. Italy remained
neutral until her weakened army was
strengthened, cast her lot with the
allies and helped to hold the Huns un
til America came into the war.
Let the American people show
their gratitude to Italy by placing
everywhere the Italian flag among Old
Glory, the Union Jack. the Tricolor
of France and the dag OF brave little
Belgium"
