 CRISIS IS STILL
 HANGING FIRE
SSnciated Press,


 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 27.- Advices received here today from The Hague state that the German minister to Holland has not returned to Berlin as was reported recently in one of the leading Amsterdam news papers. It is admitted, however, that the Dutch minister to Berlin has re turned to The Hague to discuss with the government the progress of ne gotiations with Germany.
 In the meantime, in order to be prepared for any eventualities, it is stated that the Dutch officials have stopped all leaves of absence both in the army and navy. The German demand that she be permitted tc transport civilian supplies has beer acceded to by the Dutch government but Holland still refuses to allow military supplies to be moved through Dutch territory. The neX' move will probably come from the German government, which must re cede from the position already taker or attempt to use force to get hel demands.

 UPHOLD HONOR
 AMSTERDAM, April 27.-Accord ing to the "Vaderland," newspaper published in The Hague, the pros pect of a peaceable agreement be tween Germany and Holland has been slightly improved. It is sait that it has been agreed to reoper the Limberg railway, but there is still a serious difference of opinion regarding the nature of transport over the road, and also the extent tt which the road may be used by the German government.
 The Telegraph" local paper says: "If Holland is placed at the same cross roads at which Belgium stood when the storm of war broke over Europe, the government ma, be certain that the nation will rally in the hour of danger and prove tt be equally as firm in its honor as was Belgium. If it must be, They Shall Not Pass" will be set fhr oul motto. We want peace, but we feal dishonor more than war"

CAT DID NOT LIKE
 NEW HOME VERY WELL

Bill, the cat who has for years graced one of the local smokehouses with his presence. was removed re- gently to the new location to which the smokehouse has been moved. He made his escape several times and wandered back to his old haunts. In order to get him accustomed to his new habitat. he was put into the cellar, and in some manner man. aged to get under the sidewalk, where he announced his presence with true feline melodies. A rescue party headed by one of the em' ployees extricated him from his DO sition. and he is now trying to get acquainted with the new surround ings.

We might as well memorize, now, a
little set of words that our great
grandchildren will be required to
learn in school:
1.-The destruction of every arbitrary
power anywhere that can separately,
secretly and of its single choice dis
turb the peace OF the world"
There is a good deal in that, as you
discover when you have got il pat
and ruminated over il a while The
German people, whom it most nearly
and powerfully concerns. must find it
very engrossing as they study it and
figure out its application.
To them it means revolution.
Whether peaceful or violent revolu-
ton is their concern, not ours. 1t
means the elimination of their auto
cratic, military Government-that is
to say, government by an army. with
one man at the head. 1t means. con-
Wilhelm, as the representative of that
system.
The German people have got to
choose between their Kaiser and
Germany. If they stick to Wilhelm, or
To Kaiserism represented by any other
man, Germany will be destroyed. We
are fighting for the destruction of "ar-
bitrary power and must destroy
everything that associates itself with
such power and supports it instead of
helping to destroy it.

SAVE US FROM
SILENT SABBATH BELLS


Save us. oh God, from silent bells
Upon Thy holy Sabbath Day
From lofts where song no longer
swells-
With affairs closed to men to pray
And quench no more the pulpit's
call
And censor's fires with incense
rare
Where suppliants weeping PROSTATE
fall,
And contrite hearts to God lay bare.
No more bid Christian concourse
cease
Nor tuneful charms of sacred
peace
War soothing charms of sacred
That in Gods holy temple dwell.
The sacred Scriptures close no more
To loving hearts and wistful ears
Those echoes from the blissful shore
That lift our faith above our fears.
BE this the last of churchless days
When Sabbath chimes no longer
ring
When angel choirs remit their lays
And join the notes that mortals
sing.

Little By little. the railroads i'm
prove But always. as they increase
their carrying capacity. they find the
natural growth Of business outstrip-
ping them. Little by little the motor
truck takes up the burden that is too
big for the railroads. But midway in
its winning career. the motor-truck
finds itself handicapped by poor high
ways
The interurban roads were none too
good before this truck era started.
They have broken down since. in
thousands OF cases. Most of the paw
ing was never intended for such loads
as are now carried over il, at de-
structive speed. Many that were
stronly enough built have fallen into
ruin because OF failure to make re-
pairs in time.
There is hardly a State in the Union
that has yet taken full cognizance of
the new situation. What is needed. in
most cases, is an entirely new high
way policy.
1t is of no use to complain of the de-
yastating truck. The truck has come
to stay To bake it smaller or drive it
slower or run fewer trucks in trains
would be backward step. The logical
remedy is to build roads to acc0mo-
date larger and faster trucks, bearing
heavier loads, and to keep those high
ways in repair just as well-run rail-
road keeps it's track. And the plans
must be adapted not to single coun-
ties, but to whole States. in order to
get the best results and properly dis
tribute the cost.
This policy requires more than good
road engineering. 1t requires a will
lingness on the part of the entire pub
lie topay bills. Those bills will be
bigger than ever before, if the job is
well done. But the returns, in added
real estate values, better market facil-
tiles and improved business conditions
will be still bigger.
So long as the money is spent by re-
sponsible men who know what they
are doing, it is hardly possible for
road taxes to be too high.

THE STORY OF A
MERCHANT PRINCE

(From the Chicago Hearthstone.)
There was an old geezer and he had
a lot of sense;
He started up business on dollar
eighty cents.
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad
Brought him three lovely dollars in
a day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods and a lit
tie more space
And he played that system with a
smile on his face.
The customers fiocked to his two-by-
four
And soon he had to hustle for a reg
ular store
Up on the square, where the people
pass,
He gobbled up a corner that was all
plate glass.
He fixed up the windows with the best
that he had
And he told 'em all about it in half
page ad.
He soon had 'em coming and he
never, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down on his ads
one kit.
Well, he's kept things humming in
the town ever since
And everybody calls him the Mer-
chant Prince.
Some say it's luck, but that's all
bunk
Why, he was doing business when the
times were punk.
People have to purchase and the
geezer was wise
For he knew the way to get 'em was
to advertise

Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds they
will or can afford to subscribe for.
For this reason il would seem useless
to make any further effort at so late
an hour as this TO bring the question
to the attention of our readers again.
But the success of the loan is so vital
ly related to the success of the war
that every power or agency that can
WELD any influence should keep up the
fight until the last second has passed
for the opportunity to subscribe.
IL this loan were to fail,--under-
subscribed for any amount, be 1t ever
so small,--the news would be flashed
to the enemy in great haste and the
Huns would consider 1t a defeat for
us and we would all be ashamed of
our lack of response to so noble a
cause.
The first, second and third loans
were all promptly oversubscribed,

ant of them all? Surely not

WORLD TERMS-NOT
GERMAN TERMS

Here is an axiom that may sound
| like a paradox, but it is logical, none
the less. The axiom is this-that a
righteous peace, peace making for
righteous REIMBURSEMENT of world con-
ditions. can only be reached through
continuous and relentless war drive.
This is no time for conversations with
the Hunt is time for hitting harder,
time for hitting until Hunism is re-
duced to impotency and surrenders I'M
conditionally. AS to the United States,
the American people have put too
much heart blood, have already sac
rificed too much to the purpose of win
ming righteous peace, to accept
any compromise that will leave the
criminal agencies that planned this
war any footing whatever, any chance
whatever, of resuming. Not by wordy
buster but through a firm attitude
that will not bargain or compromise in
the least with dynastic Hunism, but
which will smash and crush this ar
rogant despotism, can the world OBJ
tain the peace it wants.
This is the third and final week in
the raising of the Fourth Liberty
Loan. This loan must be taken fully.
The American people must not be mis-
led by the artful jugglery of the Ber-
lin effort to bring about an armistice
with the Germany army organized,
equipped and under the command of
those who stand by and for Hohen-
zollern despotism. No matter If this
army withdraws inside Germany, un-
til it lays down its arms and disbands
there will be no real change in the rul-
ing powers of Germany. The German
government is now militant des-
potism-Kaiserism with an army
Kaiserism will never let go until it
loses its army. When the German
army surrenders and disbands, then
and not till then peace will be in
sight.-Balto. Star.
