A TRIBUTE TO ONE WHO
WHO GAVE ALL HE HAD

Alvin Boen, who died at the Great
Lakes Training Station while serv-
ing his country, deserves more than
a passing notice. He was one of the
brightest young men who ever grew
up in Fergus. Falls: There has been
none who possessed keener intel.
lect, a quicker wit and kndlier hum.
or or who was imbued with strong,
er desire to grow and improve, and
it was a great loss to the community
to have him stricken just as he was
starting in life. Some young men
$f:lre at, their sihest early, but Alvin was
one of those who required time to
find himself and get adjusted, and
this he was rapidly doing. During
the last two years he had taken an
entirely different view Of things and
his outlook and aspirations were
greatly widened.
He was no Stacker. AS soon as war

ROAD TO AGREEMENT BELIEVED
TO LIE THROUGH TEUTON Al
LY-CONsESSIONs INTIMATED
PLAYING IN ENEMY'S HANDS
IS FEARED,

Washington, Feb. 12-President Will
sons speech before congress yester-
day, is considered here another step
in the effort to bring about peace be-
fore America begins fighting on &
large scale
The president addressed, not 80
much congress, as the Central Powers.
The president restated the condi-
tions upon which the u. g.. and pre-
sumably the Allies, would be willing
to enter into a formal discussion OF
peace.
The address deserves high rank
among the presidents state papers
by virtue OF its clear and lofty con-
ception of the ideals OF liberty and
justice to the common man.
Plan to Keep Peace Talk Up
Whether the president possesses Sc
cret information indicating the readi-
ness of the Central Powers to enter
into a formal discussion at this time,
there Is no doubt that his move was
actuated by the belief that no harm
can come and great good may result
from keeping the peace ball rolling.
He seized the opportunity again TO
remind the German people that their
military masters alone prevent the
achievement of a peace just to them
and all others and making Is clear
that If the German people would have
peace they must check or overthrow
the Prussian authocracy.
