TO REJECT OVERTURES.

| All signs in Washington point to rejection by
President Wilson of the latest peace notes from
Germany, Austria, and Turkey. There is not a
in any form that be regarded as acceptable
to the American government. Quite to the con-
trary, every indication is that if the official text
of the notes talies in every essential with the
unofficial press versions, they will be rejected
without more delay than the recent note from
Count Burian in which the Austro-H Hungarian
government sought to draw the Allies into a
conference for secret and non-binding discus
sion of peace terms
The consensus of opinion in well-informed
quarters in Washington seems to be that the new
move of the enemy will be rejected because
aside from asking for an armistice such as would
not be granted-its cardinal feature appears to
be nothing more than an effort to wrest nego-
tiated peace from the Allies, for the purpose of
saving for the enemy governments what can be
saved out of the wreck that threatens their en-
pires.
1t has been pointed out in responsible quar-
tiers that neither Austria nor Germany had pro-
posed to accept the program outlined by Presi-
dent Wilson, but merely to accept that program
as basis for peace negotiations" This is re-
garded as an invitation to talk peace on the basis
OF President Wilson's program as to bargain or
compromise. President Wilson has made it
plain, no longer ago than September 81, in his
metropolitan Opera House speech in New York !
City, that he does not intend to assent to any
movement for obtaining peace "by any kind of
compromise or abatement of the principles we |
have avowed as the principles for which we are i
ighting."

Peculiar conditions are recognized as surrund-
ing the gold situation, due to the fact that as a
result OF the and limitations upon trade it is
not possible, as in times of peace, to offset for
elgn balances against one another. The situation
is leading to the negotiation of special agree
ments with various foreign countries for the
regulation of exchange relationships, many of
these being based upon undertakings to export
net balances of gold within specified period
after the close of the war.

THE FIGHTING SPIRIT.

THE FIGHTING SPIRIT.
''The spirit of those men was so fine that they
did things that can't be DONE" The speaker was
wounded soldier at frst-aid dressing station,
after the American engagement at Chateau
Thierry.
They did things that can't be done.
They went into battle with a determination to
risk everything, to give all, to consumrnate the
impossible
1t is this spirit Of determination that is ami
mating Pensacola today. And it is this spirit
and this spirit only, that will win the war, and
that will blot out the disease which is epidemic
all over the country.
These men who went into battle at Chateau
= Thierry, went in with their eyes open They did
not deceive themselves as to the seriousness of
the situation; they did not blind themselves
to what was before them; they did not pretend
to think that the job anything but ire
mendous undertaking, but with the realization
that what seemed almost impossible must be ac-
compished, they went in and won.
The people of Pensacola have acted with the
spirit, in checking the epidemic of influenza.
They have not pretended that it was not ser-
blinded themselves to the facts in the case. They
have not tried to blind others. And for this very
reason, Pensacola has accomplished what has
been found impossible in other cities where the
epidemic is raging.
From reports which come from every section
of the country, it seems apparent that the in
fuenza situation is under control in Pen
sacola than in any other city. The thing that
remains to us is to keep it under control.
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high;
If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though peoples grow
In Flanders fields
This message of Lieut.. Col. John McCrae killed
IN action in France makes it's appeal not only to
The men on the firing line, but to those at home
who are fighting on the home line.
Those who are engaged in fighting the cpl
demic of influenza must have the same fighting
spirit as that of the men in France that we may
keep faith with the living and the dead. l.
We must hold up the hands of the leaders. We {
must be good soldiers. We must have the spirit <

TEN CHAIRS IN
 GREAT ACADEMY
 MUST BE FILLED

PARIS, Jan. 21. - The most re- gently elected members of the French Academy, General Lyautey and Henri Bergson. will, it is announced, be for mally received here soon, after which elections will be held to fin the ten chairs that have become vacannt since December 1913, the date of the death of Jules Claretie.
 Since then the following rembers have died; Henry Roujon, June 1914; Jules Lemaitre, August 3, 1914; AL bert Mezieres, October, 1915; Paul Hervieu October 1915; Francis Char mes, January 1916; Emile Faguet January 1917; Marquis de Segur, Aug ust 1916 and Marquis de Vogue, Nov cmber 1916.
 The chair Of M. ClareCie is by com mon consent accorded to Marshal Jof- ire, while Cardinal Annette is men. toned for that of Albert de Nun. The Marshal has adhered thus far to his attitude of passive consent without making the traditional application. It is said that the Academy will not in. sist in his case upon the ;lie.
 Jofrre will be the seventh Marshal of France to sit with the "Immortals.' The first was Vi}lars, chosen in re. cognition of his victory at Domain in TIP.
