Student Training Camp Not
Probable in High Schools

The prospect of including second
airy schools i'll the Student Army
Training Corps is very unlikely, &C
cording to a communication received
by Principal J. G. Masters of Cen
trail high school from Col. R. l.
Refs. The matter is under consider
alton at Washington, but favorable
report is not expected.
Central high school boys will not
be required to wear the Boys Work
ing Reserve uniforms after register
ing November IA, is the opinion of
those in charge of the movement
here. If military training should be
incorporated in the reserve move
ment, it is pointed out that the Cen
trail high school boys already have
their cadet uniforms.
The plan of the Boys Working
Reserve is to place all boys from IS
to IL in some essential occupation.
Those who wish to do farm work
would be placed in small camps in
an agricultural district. This plan
was designed for use in the eastern
states and is considered impractic-
able for Nebraska by. local officials.
The plan suggested by Miss Caro-
line Stringer of the Central high
school will probably be used in Ne
braska. The boys will be given agri-
cultural courses during the winter
and in the spring will be taught
how to pillow, harness, care for horses
and do other kinds of farm work.
If considered sufficiently efficient
they will be allowed to leave school
in May for the farms. A place for
each boy will be found and his work
will be watched. The farmers will
be required not to overwork the
younger boys. This plan was tried

BERLIN IS EXPECTED
TO EVADE PRESIDENTS q
PEACE NOTE QUERIES

That the Kaiser and his militaristic
crew will attempt evasion and coun
ter proposals when they reply to
President wilson's peace note in
quiries, was the conviction in well in
formed circles here today.
According to reports received here,
the German reply will be submitted to
the Reichstag in order to give it the
semblance of approved by the peo-
pie" Many careful observers OF Ger
man actions believe the reply will run
about thus:
Germany will accept the Presidents
fourteen proposals IL they are made to
apply to Americas friends as well
as her enemies;
Germany will evacuate Belgium and
northern France and draw all but
necessary police forces" out Of other
occupied territory. provided Great
Britain evacuates the German colonies
and Japan prepares to return Kiao-
Chau.
To the Presidents pointed inquiry
as to just whom Prince Max repre-
scented in submitting his peace ap
peal, authorities look for some such
reply as this:
Germany is undergoing a political
revolution, and in the process Of this
change, in so far as it is possible for
any one man to speak for the people
as a whole, Prince Macmillan so
speaks (Ohicials here believe Max

prove his peace prefer or give him a

Hayes, who is their friend. Let
them call on Senator James Ham
ilton Lewis. He will find time, in
spite of his campaign, to hurry
back to Washington and get some
thing started in the way Of a law
to prevent alien owners from
milking the pocketbooks and crops
of American farmers.
And, finally, let the farmers of
Grundy county call upon our ven
cradle friend, Levy Mayer, who
knows the law backward and
can make it walk sidewise. He
will bring a lawsuit for them
that will tie up the assets of that
Scully estate, tie up the crops,
the trees, the fences, and every
foot of the land in a suit to re-
cover for the farmers the value
of their improvements with in
terest from the time they were
made.
And by the time the Scully
estate gets through with Levy
Mayer, his motions, adjourn
ments, changes of venue, and all
the other things that he has up
his sleeve, the Scqlly heir now in
the cradle will have white whisk-
ers a foot long, and will never
have seen a dollar of Scully
