GERMANY ASKS ARMlSTiCE

The glorious news contained in the news dispatches today to the effect that the German junkers, headed by their naughty kaiser, have at last been humbled to the stage where they have asked for peace, instead of of ferina" it on their own terms, as heretofore, will be welcomed by the world. There is nothing to be gained seriously. The people of this coun try will without doubt look at the matter from the same view point as that taken by the Paris and London press, to the effect that it is a mere ruse to stave off the inevitable and make the best terms possible un- der the threat of further military op- erations.
 There IS a considerable distance to travel yet before satisfactory ground for discussion is reached" suggest the Canadian newspapers, and the Ameri- can press appears to be unanimous in the view that only an unconditional surrender of the military machine that has been a threat to the peace and welfare of the world for the past half century can be considered.
 1t will be as we'll to look at the matter from a practical standpoint. The end of the war is not yet, and will not have been reached until the proud German has submitted on the same terms as have been granted to Bulgaria.
 It would be unthinkabIe that the marvellous sef-sacrifce and devotion Of the manhood of the democratic na- tions should have been used in vain in order to rid the world of the peril of Prussian militarism, only to leave their aims unfuIfilIed by an inconclu- sve peace. Peace by negotiation means that remnant of this outlaw among nations would be allowed to rebuild the nefarious mechanism which has wrought such untold mis- cry and wanton destruction of life and property.
 The only peace that the American nation is in a mood to consider Is the peace following unconditional sur render. There is no treaty that could be drawn up with Junkerthum that would satisfy a stricken world. The peace that is to end the present cata- cIysm must be one drawn up and promulgated by the allied statesmen in Berlin itself with an allied army occupying the German capital and provinces to put 1t into effect.

OUR DEPARTING SOLDIERS.

Another unit of draft men from Cor dova and the Copper river valley has gone to Fort Liscum. They left yes terday without brass bands and os- tentation, but with the highest purpose that ever filled the hearts of fighting men. They go that we who remain at home may dwell in peace and se- curity They give their all that our country may continue to be the land of the free and the home of the brave" And as they go forth, they should feel that their home town is solidly behind them that we at home will keep them there, wherever they may be called upon to go in behalf of the right.
 And as they go our hearts go out to them in farewell We wish them the best of everything that may come their way. We wish them courage to keep up the fight when 1t seems al most more than man can bear. We wish them the utmost of strength and forbearance in the trying times.
 We wish them God speed and good luck, and hope that they may come back to us right speedily, safe and sound, the same boys who went out of our community yesterday fired with the purpose that will make it hot for any Huns who get in their way.

THE MISSOURI MULE ABROAD

A long and patient but vain effort on the part of a khaki-clad driver to induce a mule. drawing what appeared to be a load of laundry, through the gateway of a local hospital afforded considerable amusement to the boys in blue who were watching the pro ceedings. The mule would do any thing but pass through the gateway, of the boys in blue to the driver, as he rested a moment

A CENT MORE OR LESS.

Up to the past year people in the West have had little use for one-cent pieces, but according to an exchange, the cent, like corn four and George suit of the war. This exchange says:
 Formerly scOrned by all except the needy or the thrifty as inconvenient and of little practical use, because nearly all prices were more in units of five, 1t is now, perhaps, the most used and useful of coins. Many ar ticles of common consumption which formerly cost five or ten cents, now cost six or eleven cents. So with things which could formerly be pur- chased for multiples of the scent piece, from ten cents to one dollar All require the odd cent now. Chew ing gum, cigars, cigarettes, theatre tickets are no longer obtainable at even prices. The 1-cent piece instead of being a nuisance is convenient and useful
 The exaltation of the cent should be educational We have long been contemptuous of its merits and useful ness. and have suffered accordingly When an article should have been sold for four cents the seller knew 1t was just as easy to get five cents, so he asked that. When it was worth nine cents it was sold for ten, and so on up the line. The rule generally worked only one way. Not often, or for long, was the buyer likely to get an article worth six cents for five cents. The American contempt for the odd cent has for years been a heavy tax on the consumer
 Since the beginning of the war odd cent pieces have grown more popular. Prejudice has gradually been over come. The result is beneficial Prices ought to be governed for the pro lection of both producer and consum- CT. by the cost of manufacture, with q fair profit added. Such price will not always work out in lives or mul- tiples thereof"
