ITALIANS SPURN
NEW PEACE OFFER
PROMPTLY REJECT TEMPTING
OFFER FROM AUSTRIA
AND GERMANY
Allies viii Give the Italian Govern
nent Every Aid in Resisting Thrust
at Lombardy Expected as Result
of Refusal.

Washington. - Italy has spurned a
new and tempting peace offer from
Austria and Germany.
This fact was officially confirmed in
diplomatic information reaching Wash
ington March 10. 1t formed one of the
principal bases of the success of the
just concluded meeting of the inter
allied war council in London.
According to diplomatic advlces re-
ceived here Tuesday, the result of the
war council, upon which 1t issued a
new defiance to the central powers and
new pledge to fight for victory, may
be summed up as follows:
"First-West of Suez the allied line
is firm, in a political and military
sense. Every possible military DISPOSE
ton to meet-and in some instances
to more than meet-a German often
sive has been efficiently made.
"Second-East of the Suez the Ger
man menace Is recognized as for the
present remote. Though the entente
statesmen are reported to have been
unanimously in favor of japanese in
PREVENTION in Siberia, they are also re-
ported as willing to await the crystalli-
cation of events in Russia and pos
slble change of the attitude of the
United States before taking actual
measures to meet the German advance
with the help Of Japan.
The decision of the council with re-
spect to Italy is reported to have pro-
duced particularly happy result. The
council, in effect, has recognized the
vital Importance of the Italian link
in the allied chain which binds Ger
many on the west. With the full co
operation Of Italy, steps have been
taken to help her meet the great thrust
at the Lombardy plains, of which fresh
evidences have developed within the
last few days.
The peace offer to Italy is understood
to have been of the most generous ma
ture and to have come from a direct
official source. 1t was promptly re
jected by Italy, as only part of the
political drive accompanying the Teu
of the German attack to the westward
as indicated in dispatches from Switz
erland and Italy and recently received
here, was recognized as a menace Il
effective Italian cooperation in thu
war. Should the Germans reach Bres
cia, 1t was recognized that even 1
Italy continued to fight, as Premier Or
lando pledged her to, her work woult
be little more effective than that o
Siberia and Rumania.
Similar tenders of peace, accom-
panied by threats of drive, were re
ported at the councils to have beel
made to Serbia and even to Franco
Not only were all rejected, but, accord
ing to the reports here, the delegate
to the council left assured of the fac
that ample military provision has bee
taken to meet every possible militar
threat.

GREAT TRUTH MADE MANIFEST
Little Group Of Followers Of the
Master First Had True Concep-
tlon OF Immortality.

In the mournful quiet of Easter even
the whole world lay well hushed I'M
der the half hope, half sorrow long
ago. No happy preparations stirred
the little group Of friends and bellev-
ers; all the busy ways were for the
enemies who made ready for their
feast with much outward show of cere-
mOnial.
Under the despair that overhung the
little outcast band lay the half con-
scious, scarcely daring hope, like a
muffled dream. They had seen the
dead grain sink into the ground and
now waited for the coming forth of
the fruit. Living so long close to the
presence of the Master, it was not
strange that they could abide apart,
still under its influence, In unquestion-
ing simplicity expecting the fulf1llment
of his words: Except the grain fall
into the earth and die 1t cannot bring
forth fruit"
When the still, mournful even was
over, and the earliest breaking of day
showed them the empty husk of the
tomb, the great truth of the fruit
brought forth" surged over them. One
by one, breathlessly, each broke into a
musical utterance of faith and JOY
from clear hearts that accepted. The
olden knowledge of the death of the
grain, so long familiar to them as Il
process of nature, they had witnessed
now as applied to the spirit.

Declares courland and Lithuania Are

Copenhagen.-Cha Won Hert-
ling, on the first reading in the reichs-
tag of the peace treaty with Russia,
on March 10, declared that he did not
wish to discuss the opinions of Ger
many's enemies regarding the treaty.
Hypocrisy" the chancellor added,
"has become second nature to the en-
envy, whose untruthfulness is made
worse by its brutality. Every attempt
at calm explanation and every real de
liberation must fail when the enemy,
at the very moment they are laying a
heavy hand on a neutral country dare
to speak of a policy guided by com
plete unselfishness.
tine treaty with Russia contains no
conditions disgraceful TO Russia, If the
provinces breaking away from Russia
say it is in accordance with their own
wishes and the wish is accepted by
Russia"
The imperial chancellor declared
that Courland and Lithuania were
united to Germany politically and eco
nomically and militarily.

Legends of the Cross.

The ''wood of the cross" 1t Is most
often said, was made from the olive
tree, chosen, according to some legends,
by the hand of our Savior Himself. The
pale color of the olive leaves is be-
cause they still reflect the glory that
shone on them when He was transfig-
ured on Olivet. Some hold that it was
the poplar from which our Lord was
compelled to fashion His cross. and
ihat is why it has never ceased to
tremble because 1t had q part of His
suffering. To this day many French
Canadians refuse to cut ''popple."
Other legends say the poplar was Ju-
das' hanging tree.

Soaring fire that sways and sings.

that do not belong to the out-of-doors
are found in prodigal lavishment at
the florists and these have been car
ried to the churches for the feast of
the lilies that is styled Easter day.
Somewhere all these lilies had their
original habitat. And now they are
widely cultivated.
There is the lily OF the annuncia-
ton in its spotless white and heart
of gold. There Is the Easter lily,
that curves back its petals so that the
golden center may CLEAN like the
light from the heart of the star.
There are the lilies-of-the-va valley that
exhale their precious perfume in
wealth of odor that exhilarates and
intoxicates. There is the lilium
auratum, the gold-banded lily that
appears to be the crown of grace for
the beneficiaries Of the resurrection.
There, too, Is the red-spotted lily that
seems to emblemize the crucifixion.
Is 1t not this lily of which 1t is said
that 1t grew at the foot of the cross
and received some drops of the blood
that trickled therefrom? Then there
is the tiger lily, with its splotches Of
vivid color, that seems to set forth
the passions of humankind that the
resurrection rebukes. In the gardens
of the Southland are already bloom
ing the brown-spotted garden lilies,
and they seem to tell of the common
life and its trials and Affections and
humble circumstance. They, too, are
lilies fit for the open tomb of Easter
day. /.
But the lily that stands cold, exotic
and passionless, the Gala lily, is not
to be lost sight of. For refinement
and culture and the type of life that
is preserved from much of the out
ward harshness of existence needs to
be symbolized today and the Gala
lily is It's symbol. But faith is like
