Private Range who enlisted at his

been at the front for some time, was
wounded at the battle of Cambria.
As he lay on the field, unable to re-
treat to his own lines, he was ap-
preached by four big, sturdy Ger
man soldiers. They picked him up
gently and carried him to the Amer
lean lines. I'VE would rather be
with the Americans than the Ger

They were fine to me-" writes
the young man, land were just as
careful as they could be not to hurt
me-"
Private Range is now in a hos
pital in England, from which the
letter was dated, and will make a
complete recovery.

Jerry B. Kulhanek. son OF Mr.. and

writes from Somewhere in France
that the Bee is verv accurate in its

Kulhanek was manager of the

in France since June. His brother,

is the letter:

about. We see air fights everyday,

1T is a beautiful country that we
are in now. No wonder the Ger
mans wanted it and from the way
they have had their dugouts fixed
| think they intended to stay, be-
cause they had electric lights, cush-

kinds of less important conven-
fences. The Bee is very accurate
and they sure get the correct dope"

Farmers Urged Not to Ship
Their Immature Poultry

The Nebraska food administration
is sending notices to farmers urg-
urging them to hold their imma-
ture poultry, instead of forcing it
onto the market, thus creating an
oversupply. The necessity for hold
ing poultry that is immature is due
to the fact that facilities for ship
ment are not up to requirements.
In many localities dealers are over
stocked and it is asserted that poul-
try can be held to better advantage
on the farms than in the close
pens on the market. m

May Face Firing Squad

Military authorities are today await
ing word from Washington, D. c.,
which will determine the fate of Ser
geant Major Helmuth Ritter, German
spy suspect arrested at this post after
highly valuable war papers had disap-
peared.
That he will face the death penalty
rs the general belief here of those who
know the gravity cf his alleged activ-
tiles. Detailed statements of the exact
nature of his offenses are withheld.
1t is known, however, that he was in
a position to obtain possession of in
coming communications and of detail
ed military information.
Officers remarked that Ritter had
an intimate knowledge of fOrtifica-
tiOns, army conditions, qualifications
of men high in authority and was able
to recite detailed information, such as
the names of all ships sunk by German
submarines prior to July.
Ritter is being held as a federal
prisoner at the Pierce county Jail in
Tacoma.

NO LET-UP IN AMERICA.
Rv Carl D. Groat

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
! Washington, Jan. 7.-America will
push her work without thought that
peace may be drawing nearer.
Secretary of War Baker and other of
ficials held today that there must be
no letting down in preparations. Peace,
they said, now is up to Germany. Lloyd
George has stated the allies terms and
insofar as unofficial expressions here
go, these are America s terms, too.
If Germany wants to reform herself
and accept these terms, the way is open
But if she wants to fight on, the al
lies and America are fully aware of and
ready for the bloody sacrifices involved,
all officials agree.
They added that it would be little
short of treason and foolhardy for this
nation to slow up now, merely because
of a growing conviction that the allies
and Teutons are getting more nearly
together through process of unofficial
statement of peace aims.
True, authorities here, including men
high in the military councils, do be-
lieve that peace is coming up more rap
idly than is the general belief. But If
they had their way wholly, there would
not even be a statement of war aims
Instead, there would be a policy of
blood and iron which would ultimately
make the German lines crumble and the
kaiser beg for peace.
SoIAe military men, however, are in
clined to feel that already the war is
shifting into the diplomatic field. That,
by the mere fact of a statement of
terms from both sides, desire for peace
is manifest which sows the seed for
actual Negotiations Not that they think
Germany is going to accept Lloyd
Georges terms right away, but they
believe that Germany now knows that
she cannot win and is willing, there
fore, to go far to get an adjustment.
One neutral diplomat sized up the
situation today as case of peace IN
three OF four months or war of three
or four years. That may be said to-
be more or less prevalent opinion here,
though those who venture into prophecy
vary in their maximum and minimum
figures considerably,
The thought here is that Lloyd-George
cleverly offset Germany propaganda by
diselaiming any intent to crush the
German people while at the same time
he made a distant bid for separate
Austrian peace and skillfully maneuver-
ed to draw the Russians back into the
allied fold.
If Austria finally heeds the cry for
peace and the Russians definitely set
themselves against Germany so she can
not get supplies, then viii peace be lit
tie short of a reality, experts say.
Russian officials are skeptieal, how
ever, of any permanent alignment be-
tween the allies and Russia. Her cry
is peace, peace, and regardless of what
party comes into power they feel that
the Slavs will stick TO their separate |
peace program, unless a general peace is
in the meantime.
Officials anticipate that Germany |
will modify her POSITION toward Russia |
having failed TO bully the Slavs at Brest !
Litovsk. Teuton threats to use force in
accomplishing their demands are regard /
ed as camouflage.
However, further allied efforts viii .
be made to induce Russia to return to

he would take away Alsace-Lorraine
from us and give Poland portions of
east Prussia. Despite his contrary as
surance, he wants to rob Austria-Hun-
