FOE IN PEACE drive

FeeIina in Washington That "Force
Without Stint" Should Answer
Enemy Offer.

London.-Germany is striking swift
ly in her peace offensive. In addition
10 the Austrian note inviting all the
belligerents to a hazy peace confer
ence and a proposition that all the
powers should withdraw their troops
from the Thurman coast on the Arctlc
west of Archangel, Berlin has made
definite peace offer to Belgium In
which there is no word Of reparation
or indemnity, no confession or admiS-
sion that Germany has wronged Bel
gium by the destruction Of her cities
and the murder of her noncombatant
population.
1t is apparent that Germany realizes
now that soon or late she must with
draw from Belgium, and if she could
obtain a treaty which would bar Bel
gian territory to the allies troops and
aircraft. it would add enormously to
the difficulties Of attacks by the allies
against German territory and cities
and would rob the allies Of the ad-
yantages accruing from the use Of a
Belgian jumping off place, while Ger
many escapes any sort Of payment for
the crimes she has committed.
The trick in the Murman coast pro-
posal lies in the fact that while the al
lies are well established there Ger
man troops are far distant and the
Films are showing more reluctance to
assist the Germans and attack the al
lies.
In extending an invitation to all the
bclligerent governments to enter into
nonbinding discussions at some neutral
meeting place the Austro-Hungarian
government states that the object of
the conference would be to obtain an
exchange of views which would show
"vhcther those prerequisites exist
which would make the speedy inau-
guration Of peace negotiations appear

Work on Emergency
Fleet Contracts
JOBSIN YARDS
FOR MANY MEN

Shipbuilders and other mechanics
who are being laid Off In some OF the
local plants because OF the readJust-
ment Of labor conditions, are finding
profitable employment at the local plant
Of the Pusey and Jones Company. That
concern, instead Of discharging any OF
its employees, is placing all available
men at work in the yards.
This statement was made today by
Christopher Hannevig, president OF the
Pusey and Jones Company, who added
that the local company had enough
work on hand TO keep the plant busy
for the ensuing 10 months.
When asked II any new contracts
had been taken by the company, Mr.
Hannevig said: I'VE have still 10 more
vessels to build for the Emergency
Fleet Corporation and we count on
turning out one Of them a month, so
that work will keep us busy for the
next 10 months"
Mr.. Hannevig also took occasion 20
deny a rumor that the local plant had
been purchased by local capitalists. He
said today that the rumOr was ground
less and the idea Of disposing OF the
local plant had not even been thought
Of by the owners.

remittlng service they have performed
during the last year In supporting and
furthering the war relief enterprises OF

Nor should this expression Of ap-
probation be restricted 10 any depart

careful scrutiny Of the newspapers has
convinced me that their editorial, local.

was revealed all along the line Neither
our chapter nor its several committees
ever could have achieved the wonderful
results they did achieve had 1t not
beep for the loyal support that was ac-
corded by the press Of our city and

What Memory Is.

The popular notion that memory is
San association of ideas" is true.
Memory, plainly, is not only made up
of an association of ideas but also of
associated impressions living things
receive Such associations may be
due to real and necessary connections
such as Iron bar" or to your mental
coupling up of such associations as
blue funk" "sweet melody pretty
girl" Habitual linkage makes the i'm
preston firmer, the retention in mind
more durable and more simple han
die whereby the matter can be recalled
at will.
