GERMAN PEACE
OFFER DECLINED?

That peace terms have been Of
fered Great Britain by Germany
may possibly be inferred from sew
era significant statements given
out Friday. Lord Robert Cecil, Brit
ish minister of blockade, asked il
proposals had been received for
peace at the expense of Russia,
answered that no such proposals
are being considered or will be con
sidcred
A little earlier an Amsterdam
despatch quoted Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg as saying that
the entente has shown an unre-
sponsive attitude toward Ger
many's peace intentions and the
great German offensive must,
therefore, go on. Later General
Won Ludendorif was reported as
saying that since the enemy is not
inclined to make peace he will
have to fight, and this fight will,
of course, be the most tremendous
of the whole war.

HOROSCOPE.
Saturday, September II, 1918.

This IL a doubtful day in planetary
direction, according to astrologers
who find Uranus. Venus and Mercury
in benehc aspect, but more or less
affected by the adverse rule of Mars
and Saturn.
Under this sway there Is held to be
danger of misleading Judgment on
important questions, as the stars are
supposed to make men and women
exceedingly credulous where they
should be analytical.
There Is a most encouraging gov

Reconciliation,

Nothing is more moving to man
than the spectacle OF reconciliation:
our weaknesses are thus indemnifed
and are not too costly-being the
price we pay for the hour OF forgive
ness: and the archangel. who has
never felt anger. has reason to envy
the man who subdues 1t. When thou
forgtvest-the man who has pierced
the heart stands to thee In the rela-
ton OF the saw worm that perforates
the shell OF the mussel, which
straightway closes the wound with
a pearl Why Is It that the most fer
vent love becomes more fervent by
brief interruption and reconciliation?
And why must a storm agitate our
affections before they can reach the
highest rainbow OF peace? All! for
this reason 1t is-because all passions
feel their object to be as eternal as
themselves, and no love can admit
the feeling that the beloved object
should die.-John Paul Richter.

plainly to any one who might turn
that way. Peggy held her breath,
fearful lest any thing should betray
him to the dancing Indians.
Slowly, slowly he dragged himself
along, and Peggy began to feel that
he might escape safely.
Then a small rock gave way be-
meath his foot and went bounding
noisily down the side of the cliff.
Sharp ears among the Indians heard
it. A squaw jumped to her feet and
pointed to Billy. Instantly the
dance stopped and the Indians
turned to stare at the climbing boy.
Billy Belgium, striving to climb
faster, made a inisstep. He tried to
regain his balance, but was ham
pered by the gun. He wavered a
moment, then, to Peggys horror,
he went slipping and sliding down
the face of the cliff right into the
arms of half dozen savages, who
rushed forward to seize him.
"Owhoo! Owoo! Owoop howled
the Indians in triumph, dragging
Billy into the light of the fire. They
seemed to go mad at the sight OF
the white boy, for they danced
hercely and exultingly around him,
brandishing clubs and tomahawks
in his face.
Billy stood without flinching,
though Peggy could see that his
face was white and set. Finally,
Chief Many Cows stopped in front
of him. The dance stopped, and the
