eERMANY's REPLY.

From the wireless reply which has been received from Germany it does not appear that Germany has compiled with the requirements set forth by President Wilson as necessary before there could be any steps taken for an arnistice, and with the exception of one or two particulars it does not in dicate that the situation has been changed. It does not indicate that Germany ready to surrender un- condtionaily. but it shows that Ger many hopes. through the discussions which it is engaging in and the re- guests which it is making, to bring about an ending of the war with is fighting machine in fairly good con- 1ition and without the allies accom- piishing the objects for which they ire fighting
 There has been no guarantee given that there has been any change in the German government The k1iser still holds his job and for oil that Is known will continue to do so. It is simply a matter of stage play when protests are made against the presi- ient's reference to illegal and inhu- T2ne acts. and denials are offered to he assertions that the German navy dest,o owed iifsboats With passengers The fact of the matter is that these acts have been committed and Ger many must not be allowed at this fate day to gloss them over with its ready excrses.
 As for asking this country to ap- prove Of nc demand that would be ir- reconcileble with :he honor of the German people and with the opening of the way tJ a peace of justice, il must be understood that the United States Is not the only nation whicf nas been outraged by Germany arc whatever action is taken will be ir sympathy with its allies. There is nc assurance that the present govern r7ent represents the German people and until there is it is a pretty sit uaton for the German government tC te talking about honor and justice
 The reply does nothing towar, clearing the way for an armisdce O. peace. It is simply a case of Godgini and ducling in an effort to escape tin penalty which 1t realizes it should pa! and which it would exact Aad i gained the upperhand.

SELECTING THE PROOF

 ed to know whether I thought if he had worn his gray mixture suit it would have taken better than the blue serge did.
 Did J like the way his hair was brushed" He said he had been unde- cided whether to let it lie loose and careless or 10 smooth 1t down and he. had tried both ways and decided on the smooth down. but he wasn't sure even now. Being a perfect wife, l refrained from pointing out that as the hair alluded to was all on the back of his head the general effect was the same.
 T had wanted to go to the movies after dinner, but Benjamin again spread out on the floor his precious proofs and demanded my full attention in picking out the best one. This was q terrible time. Of course. the profile was more striking, but WAS it as good Q likeness as the -iuarters--oT | what did I think of the full faee7 There was one which made him 1 look like a sklttish patent medicine l seller. sort of perky, you know, that 1 had a terrible time steering him ] away from. and the one really liked best he would have nothing to do with and was mortally insuited.

FULL PUNISHMENT DESERVED.

Right in keeping with what is re- cuired especially under present day conditions is the action taken by the state commissioner of weights and measures of Massachusetts in sum- moning into court 6 dealers of Boston who have been using unjust weighing devices for the purpose os defrauding the people with whom they did busi- ness.
 Some of the cases are worse than others, particularly those where false scales were used, where unseen -Teights were used to reduce the quan- tity of goods sold and where scales which had been condemned two years ago and found to be in use yet. It is impossible to look upon such dealers otherwise than swindlers They re- sort to the practices for which they have been arrested for the purpose of getting more money than they are en- titled to for the goods sold. The prac- tice is no better than highway rob bery although it may be carried on under less violent methods. but there can be no question but what the pur- chasing public is entitled to every bit Of protection which can be given in his respect.
 There is too often a disposition to be lenient with such frauds who class Themselves as business men, but in nine cases out of ten they are not en- |, titled to it. Letting up on the penal ty simply invites continuance of the |
 those who have been wrongfully de priVed of their good money. At all times the buyer is entitled to hi: moneys worth and the authorities should so enforce the law that ht will get it. There should be littl, consideration for the dealer who de iiDerately schemes to swindle his fel. | Iowmen.

ARMIES FOR FULL VICTORY.

The fact that Germany is talking about peace and engaging in an eX- change of notes with this country is noteserving in the least to bring about any letup by the allied forces, There are points where increased resistance is being encountered because it is nec- essary for the enemy to impede the progress of the entente armies at cer- tain vital points in order 70 prevent the routing of his troops. This strengthening of certain points is made possible by the shortening of the line but throughout that portion of Belgium which is still held by the reutons there is a general movement 10 the eastward in which every fla cility is being utilized, the object Of course being to make the retreat as orderly a one as possible in which an additional advantage would be gaine1 if the armies of the allied nations could be gotten interested in the mat Jar of peace.
 Nowhere, however. is there greater earry the war to victorious conciu- sion than right among the fighting men. They know what sacrifice has been made and they realize what Is to come, but they are insistent thai there shall be no compromise and no stopping at this point to give the Huns a chance to recuperdte. The5 recognize what a mistake it woul1 he to let Germany enter into the making of peace terms after doin- what 1t has. and the manner in whicl they are going forward, reclaimina lost territory and crippling the enc my indicates that they are not onll insisting upon unconditional surren- der but tells in plain terms how they would resent any other conclusion O the war. Germany's peace talk is set ting the armies all the more firmly a thair task

LYRIC THEATER

Abe Lincoln said that you can fool
all of the people some of the time
and some of the people all the time
and the same. holds true to motion
pictures. The things that were good
a year ago are out of date today. Pic.
lures that were made three or four
years ago would hardly pass muste'
today. In the face of these facts, q
good many of the exhibitors in the
United States are showing their pat
rons pictures that are relics of the
dark ages. We believe that the man.

to give the Public the latest and best
in photoplays, judging from the line
up which he has given US for the
coming week. On Thursday and Fri
day Of this week, William S. Hart will
appear in the first one Of his late
pictures to be shown in Williston en-
titled "The Narrow Trail," which is
. great improvement over the old
pictures that have been shown from
time to time in Williston. On Satur-
day, Kitty Gordon will appear in her
latest World Pictures entitled "The
1nterloper," which is said by critics
to be one Of the best pictures releas-
ed this year. In addition of this
splendid program will be shown anoth-
er of those Fox Sunshine Comedies
entitled "Shadows of her Pests" We
have seen these comedies and can
recommend them.
Jack Pickford is getting more and
more popular with film fans, of his
rare sense Of humor. You will get
a good many laughs out of one of his
latest pictures entitled Jack and

Theater on next Monday and Tues
day. This is a story that is laid in
the west, and one that you will enpoy
greatly.
On Wednesday, Alice Joyce will ap-
pear in "The Song of the SOUL a
picture full of good entertainment. In
addition to this program will be shown
the latest Hearst-Pathe news on the
screen. The Pathe Company is To-
