PEACE'S ONLY HOPE
WIPE OUT kAISERISM.
President May Give Up Diplomacy
He May. Make Statements De
neuneine All German Peace
Negotiations.

Washington, March 20.-Today's ic-
ternational developments as revealed
at the White House and the state de-
partment were officially declared to
show that the only hope of world
peace now rests with the determine
ton of the United States and the en-
tente powers to wipe out kaiserlsm.
iViewed from three angles the sraa-
ton is as follows:
/. President Wilson is reported to
have informally notified certain mem
hers of the senate of forthcoming
White House statement which VIII
denounce peace negotiations from
Germany and Austrian statesmen as
no longer worthy Of consideration
This abandonment of efforts for peace
bv diplomacy. it was thought wou'a
he followed by declarations of war
against Bulgaria and Turkey.
3 Confidential advices On the dls-
nosition of the Austro-German armies
are said to indicate plans for ter
rife new drive into Italy. The aP-
parent purpose is to force Italy oas
of the war through an involuntary
nosce agreement. in the making OF
which the pverridden nation would
have as little voice as did the Rus
SLAMS who were forced to accept tns
terms offereded.
2. Diplomatic assurances were Fe'
: ceiyed from Toxic that Japan Will NOT
, intervene in Siberia without the ap-
rroval o. the United States unless ne"
aeorayations represented by the Ger
man menace arises. In reply to the IL
; s:stence of the allies that |apan mas
haen restrained the United States -
! understood to have Informed tne
British foreign Office the position an
nounced by President Wilson VIII
stand unchanged unless the German
troops make some move to cut i1ne9
of communication.

PRESIDENT INVITES CHIEFS TO
CONFERENCES
Meet TO Discuss War Legislation
at White House.

Washington, Feb 13. President
Wilson will begin series of confer
enceS today With congress- leaders
both Republicans and Democrats-on
all phases of war legislation. For the
first time members of both parties are
to be taken into the White House
councils in the consideration of war
legislation and in this way the admin
iStration expects to smooth out some
of the difficulties which confront the
wdar program
The presidents move is regarded as
the first step toward taking members
of both parties more into his conf
dence and toward calling the Repub-
Iicans actively into the war councils.
The pending bill to empower the
president to consolidate executive de-
partment functions and rediStribute
work among them, now openly OPP
posed by the Republicans, will be one
of the first subjects to come up. Some
of the Democrats do not favor it, and
the Republicans openly denounce it as
comforting too great authority.
The bill however, is the administra-
tons counter-propoSal to the senate
military committee bill to create a SUI
perWar cabinet and Il director of mu-
nitions. Tie president is represented
as being unaIterably opposed TO the
committee plan and many members
of congress are just as much opposed
to the presidents plan.

MATTERS
POLITICAL
(Contributed).

While it is still early in the season
the political bee is beginning to buzz.
The friends of Mayor Ellis are en-
couraged to believe that he will be a
candidate for reelection this spring.
It is understood that Mayor Ellis
has said that if the people of Grand
Rapids have been satisfied with the
administration he has given them dur
ing the past two years, that he will be
glad to accept the honor of serving
them as their mayor for one more
term.
In our estimation the present ad-
ministration is one of the best we have
had for some time.
A great many public improvements
have been made and accomplished in
4 very economical manner.
Mayor Ellis is a man of large bu-
siness affairs, and if a man of his
standing and ability can be prevailed
upon to accept the responsibilities of
this office and serve the people of
Grand Rapids, in the future as he has
in the past the citizens are to be con-
graduated.
We do not anticipate that Mayor
Ellis will have any opposition at the
coming spring election.
