Near Mills hardware store two boys ran from the side walk, apparently to catch onto the auto truck.

Henderson for Just Peace.

London, March 16.-The most crit ical stage of the whole history of the war has been reached, in the opinion of Arthur Henderson, secretary of the labor party. Speaking in London at a woman suffragist celebration today, he added:
 II have been imagining during the last few days, having regard for what has taken place in Russia, that some German emissary might come along and say:
 "'WhY do we fight? Why cannot we settle it? We are prepared to come to a compromise with you re- gardinG colonies and we are prepared to make considerable concessions to France With reference to AlsacC- Lorraine.'
 That would be cynical peace con- taining the seeds of future war. It wolud not be a clean peace and it would not be an honorable peace. It would be the descrtion of Russia and the women of this country must stand against it like flint.
 eve are anxious for peace and the sooner it comes the better. But let me say it must be a peace consistent with the ideals for which we entered the war. No one deplores more than I the collapse of Russia, but I do not believe that represents a majority of the Russian people. They were very anxious for peace. I am anxious for peace, but never in any speech that have made or in any suggestion made privately have I committed my self to a position similar to that in Russia. By all means let us try for peace, Q peace based upon interna- tional justice, and that only

Peace Now.
 Washington, March 16.-Inferences that Germany may have made q new peace offer to the allies, proposing terms at the expense of Russia, coincide with an undercurrent of dis cussion which has been running in diplomatic circles here for some time. but which never has shown any evil dencc of tangible development. The statement of Lord Robert Cecil in London yesterday that no such pro posals would be considered coupled with Marshal Hindenburg's announce ment that the German offensive would go on due to the allies unresponslVo attitude toward Germany'S peace in tentions, served to strengthen the view of neutral diplomats who for some time have believed that some sort of underground feelers have been going out for some time,
 American officials and allied diplo- mats. while agreeing with Lord Cecil s statement that no such terms can be considered, give no evidence of how much may be known here of what Hindenburg refers to as Germany's peace proposals
 The general current of opinion for some time has turned toward the possibility of Germany attempting to give way in the west and make up her losses in the east.
 The extent to which the question of future supplies of iron ore enter into Germany's peace plans is indicated in latest advices, received here. These show that Germany knows produce ton of ore within her own borders is limited by exports to 50 years, that Sweden contemplating an iron industry of her own will require her own ore, and supply in Spain upon which she has also drawn has been approaching exhaustion.
