Sank Responsible for Error.

An interesting decision has been
made by the Missouri court Of appeals,
relative to holding the sender OF a
telegram reponsihle for a mistake In
transmission. A Wyoming bank tele-
graphed a brokerage house. offering a
carload Of potatoes at $1.35 a hundred
pounds The telegraph company's mis-
take in transmission made the price 3S
cents q hundred The supposed offer
was accepted by the brokers and the
potatoes were shipped. When payment
was rendered at the rate of IS cents a
hundred the Wyoming bank refused to
accept the money and brought suit
for the full amount. The Missouri
court OF appeals ruled that the bank
had made the telegraph company Its
agent In forwarding the telegram and
that as the brokerage house acted in
good faith II could not be compelled TO
pay more than the amount quoted in
the message.

A VOICE FROM GERMANY.

None are SO blind as those who will not see.
We of the allied world are perplexed that the
Germans do not recognize the cause OF refusal
by the allies to negotiate with Germany TOT
peace and in our perplexity we lay stress Oh
the probability that the German people are
blinded by censorship of facts so that they nave
really no knowledge of the allied viewpoint
A document is issued by the American Asso-
citation for International Cancellation that
seems to refute this superstition. 1t Is trans
Ilation of an article printed last January in the
Munich Post and written by Professor F. w.
Forester No better statement of the allied dis
trust of Germany and the grounds for 1T has
vet appeared; the validity of the causes IS In
some measure denied by the German professor
but Professor Forester says candldly that the
allies can only judge by what they see and hear
and that on this basis they are justified. he
dismisses as foolish the German claim that
Great Britain wants war to assure trade SUI
premacy to her and that the United States Is
fighting to assure the payment OF her loans TO
the allies. He is confident that these nations
are determined to defeat Germany primary to
assure international peace, and says that Ger
many cannot expect them to put confidence IN
reichstag declarations when government OIL
Gals talk as they do and the government acts
as it does He calls ON Germany to do some
thing to promote confidence; to give Alsace-
Lorraine autonomy, to retire from Belgium ana
France and to give the eastern peoples gen
uine measure Of freedom to form new govern
ment units of their own. And" says FRO
lessor Forester, 'sthis should be done solemnly
and deliberately in the determination to accept
the principles of a new international law which
are now moving the rest of the world. Ii 1t had
been done in December, 1916 it would have
been far more effective offer for peace than
all general declarations.
Professor Foerster's paper is proof that Ger
