would like to see the Entente inveigled
into formal secret conversations.
Raises Disarmament Question
In opposition to that section of opin-
ion which wants to see the Austrian
proposals rejected out of hand, there
is growing insistence on the necessity
of issuing a reply which will give the
German war lords no opportunity OF
rallying their people. The Westminster
Gazette, in particular points out that
whereas President Wilson has In
series Of admirable speeches and OFF,
cal addresses laid down in principle
the essentials of the new world order
and is in a strong position when he
simply refers back to his own utter
ancea. the Governments of the Entente
have not yet spoken with the same clear
ness and fullness, and that there Is
| everything to gain by a united joint
| declaration. The basis of that declara-
tion, according to the Gazette. would be
disarmament.
THE only fruitful question which can
be put to the Prussian mlitarists is
will they disarm? That and nothing
else is the test of the determination OF
| fTuSSlan lllllltdTlsnl. nat Win
the necessary safeguards, Is its own
guarantee. and there Is no other founda.
ton in which a league of nations car
| be built"
The Manchester Guardian and London
| Star argue strongly for the view that
the Allies can so present the case to
+, Austria that her desire to quit the
war will be greatly increased, her an.
tagonism to Germany stiffened her re-
luctance to send further re-enforcements
to the French front deepened.
"Or," says the Guardian, they may
make such an answer as will throw
Austria back in despair into the Ger.
man arms"
This point of view is dismissed a.
| the fear of small and timid minority
by the Northclffe papers, which de-
clare that a fiat rejection of the Austrian
proposals such as has just been giver
by President Wilson" cannot drive Aus
tria back into the arms of Germany be-
cause she is already in them, and there
Is no reason to suppose she has any
intention of leaving them Though moth.
ing can yet be predicted with certainty
it Is the opinion of the best judges
whom your correspondent has been able
to consult. that the Entente Govern,
ments will agree to the policy of a
united reply which, while refusing tc
enter a conference on the lines sug.
gested by the Austrian note, will leave
the door open for further proposals
based on the acceptance Of certain es.
sential principles necessary to stable
peace.

MISUNDERSTANDING between the fed.
oral fuel administration for North
Dakota and the North Dakota Ignite
Operators association were straigh-
'sened out in a conference between Of
ficers of the association and Capt 1.
P. Baker, fuel administrator for
North Dakota, on Friday, when it was
explained that the price Of $3.50 set
for Ignite coal at the mouth of the
mine applies to coal delivered on

Gated at a distance from the rail-
road, an additional reasonable charge
is allowed for hauling.
Substantiating this understanding,
Capt. Baker, fuel administrator for
North Dakota, said: ''The price estab-
lished by the United States, fuel adj
for Ignite at the mines
in North Dakota is intended to govern
sales by producers of Ignite in the
case Of delivery on board railroad
cars at the mines. Where Ignite is
mined at distance from the railroad,
an additional reasonable charge is per-
mitted to cover the cost of placing the
Ignite on board the railroad cars In
view of the many different situations
existing throughout the Ignite pro-
ducing section Of North Dakota it is
not practicable to establish fixed
charge for such haulage to apply in
all cases."

The weight of the body must never

the leg is thrown forward from the
hip, knee acting in harmony, heel
touching the ground first; but the
weight should be so quickly trans
