Burian's line of thinking could mas
ter the confusion of minds prevailing
everywhere until today.
t'The peace question as discussed
by Secretary Balfour-and the same
applies to the debates in the French
and, American senates under the
pressure Of big catch words and over
mastering passion, can naturally
make no favorable progress. Espe-
cially regarding Mr.. Balfour's speech
it must be pointed cut that it con-
tains a series Of rash conclusions
concerning the attitude of the Cen
trail powers toward concrete peace
questions which he would not have
arrived at had he entered into dis
cussion in the spirit OF Baron Blu
RAMS proposal.
Only If discussed under condi-
tons free from the influences OF pas
sion can the peace question make
that progress which is in the interest
Of humanity.

Michigan, N. D., Sept. 21.-The
situation here is pretty serious, all
grain elevators being filled SO that
not one more bushel can be handled
by either house until after cars ar
rive. Farmers are storing grains
in every nook and corner of their
farm buildings and some have been
forced to leave it on the ground. Last
year about this time Lakota had sew
eral serious fires, when considerable
grain was lost. Michigan does not
intend that anything Of this nature
shall happen here and has therefore
organized voluntary night watches to
guard the elevators.
