GERMANY WOULD DIsARM."

Copenhagen. July 1o-Writing in the Vossiche Zeitung, of Berlin, Geo. Bernhard, political editor, says:
 'The time is now ripe openly to discuss peace conditions. Having re- gard to the ideal peace conditions laid down by President Wilson, unanimity on the matter undoubtedly could easily be reached, if a method of dis cussing the peace terms could only be agreed upon."
 Bernhard says Germany and her allies would undoubtedly accept req sonable disarmament proposals. Presi- dent Wilson's demands for 'self-gov- ernment by small nations, the writer says, would be favorably received, but the Central Powers would insist upon knowing the attitude of England re- garding Ireland. Negotiations, the writer adds, should take place direct ly between the belligerents respecting frontier regulations.

The scouts black walnut canvass Is 1 covering every section of the United States where walnut timber may be found. The Forest Service informs the National Headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America that the reports on the black walnut canvass are coming in freely and that the right informa- tion is being secured.
 The average number of reports re- ceived daily is thirty-fve, and these reports. indicate that about S00,000 feet of black walnut timber is being reported daily.
 Scouts to Pay No Attention to Rumors Scouts are warned that reports have been circulated to the effect that black walnut timber is only wanted from owners who can furnish carload lots and also that private buyers have been through the country and have purchased all of the necessary walnut for Government purposes.
 While it may be desirable to secure carload lots at present from a single shipping point, such car lots may be made up from the timber secured from several owners. Later OH, II walnut becomes more scarce, it may be necessary to take less than a car load lot from one point.

 "In regard to report received by direction of the Acting Chief of Ord nance you are advised that it is the understanding of this office that all available black walnut timber is to be listed without exception to quantity

IAUDS ITALY'S PART IN WAR.

Philadelphia, July 10-William Pot ter, former Ambassador to Italy and now Federal Food Administrator for Pennsylvania says it Is time to give the Italian nation credit for the great part she has played in the war.
 Just consider" said MT. Potter, What might have been the fate of the Allies had Italy, with her army and navy, gone with the Central Powers. France, at the outbreak of the war, would have had to divide her army to protect her Italian from tier.
 "The small, but brave little British army would have been powerless to assist France both on the western and Italian fronts. Italy remained neu- traI until her weakened army was strengthened, cast her lot with the Allies, and helped to hold the Huns until America came into the war. Let the American people show their gratitude to Italy by placing everywhere the Italian flag among the Old Glory, Union Jack. the Tri- Color of France and the bag of brave little Belgium"
