GERMANS VOICE ARROGANT TERMS
 FOR ENDING WAR
Switzerland Despatch Says Ambi- tious Peace Terms Will Be Im-
 posed By Germany.

PARIS-A despatch received here today from Basel quotes the German peace terms as published in the Goerlitz Nachrichten on the authori- ty of Count Roon, a member of the Prussian house of lords.
 These ambitious terms stipulate that Great Britain must turn over to Germany her entire war fleet, re- turn Gibralter to Spain, and restore the whole of Egypt and the Suez Canal to Turkey. Northern France and Belgium must be surrendered to Germany, while France and the United States will be called upon to pay war indemnity to Germany of five billion dollars.
 The account in the Goerlitz Mach Fiehten further adds that there will be no cession of unrestricted sub marine warfare or no armistice until Germany has realized these terms.

GERMANS OCCUPY
 CAUCASIAN CITY
Capture of Largest City In the Caucasion Region By the
 Germans Is Reported.

LONDON.-Despatches received today from Moscow state that Tiflis, which is the capital and largest city in the Caucasus region, has beer captured and occupied by the Ger man forces. The despatches further add that large number of Teutons who had been prisoners of war in Russia, and who were recently re- leased to shift for themselves, have been organized into powerful fighting force.
 The occupation of this city gives the Germans dominance over the en- tire Caucasus region and constitutes a grave menace to the British forces operating in Mesopotamia and Persia.
 The resistance to the Germans in the Caucasus was of a very feeble nature.

 SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT

Tonight is the night of the big Fourth of July clearing bee. The time is 2 o'clock and the place is the baseball grounds in back of the schoolhouse; everybody who can handle rake is requested to be on hand and do their bit.

 Payroll.

C.-The leg lslative, executive and judicial ap- propriation bill, carrying funds for the payment of running expenses for the coming year for various branches of the government, was vetoed by President Wilson today.

Away France-Two Days in
Gay Paris-A!"Jerry Wakes
Them Up.
July 2, 1918.

My Dear Maria:
Got a letter from you last night.
I am writing you a short answer this
afternoon just to tell you that 1
haven't forgotten you completely.
I wrote Mamma a few days ago
telling her that 1 am again with my
own company. I'm surely glad to
be back with them again because
I'm tired of going around with a
bunch of folks that are not from my
own regiment.
I have been almost all over
France to get back to my company
Got to France all right and rode all
the "a across the whole country to
get to the place where my school
was. Went to school for four weeks
and then travelled nearly all the way
across the country again. This Sc
cond trip we came by Paris, where
we spent two days.
We are billeted in a little French
village. I am going to tell you just
a little about this place. W. D. and
I are in the same room and the
house we live in is just like most of
these French places. They have the
living rooms, cow stalls, pig pens,
and chicken houses all in the same
building-or so very close together
that it amounts to the same thing.
All the houses are built so that there
is a square yard-with buildings or
rooms on all sides-and they usu-
ally have a pond of water in the
middle of this. Also, the trash pile
is right in the yard. Then, in the
back yard or behind the houses, they
have their flower gardens. It's a
funny country.
A few nights ago we were all
wakened by an awful racket. We
found that a "Jerry"-as these men
call the Boche airplanes-was sail
ing around over us and the big guns
were shooting at it. l think every
body in the whole village was up to
see if they could see it but, although
we could see the shells bursting and
the searchlights, we didn't see the

Belgium" July Id, 1918.
Ny dear Mamma:
Since I wrote you last, we have
moved again. This time, however,
the whole company moved and we
made a three day hike. The walking
was alright except the rain. That
made things a bit unpleasant but
the roads were all either macadam
or concrete and there was very lit
tie mud. We made only about
twelve to fourteen miles each day
but the men were pretty tired when
we made camp.
We. are in a camp now where we
hear the big guns all day long and
all through the night. I sat up the
first night we were here until about
midnight watching the cannon flash,
es, the star shells and such things
II is fireworks that beats anything
you can imagine. We are still a
good ways back from the front line,
but from our camp we can see where

Last night, we had a very excit-
ing time. About three o'clock, Fritz
began sending over a few Shells
These came rather close to our
place-about two hundred yards and
everybody thought that they were
trying for US. However, none found
us and we are still safe as ever.
Yesterday afternoon we saw an
