ton of City Manager Murphy, agreed
to remove all piles of old cross ties
living along the risht-of- way inside
the city limits and to also oil the
right of way to prevent the great
clouds of dust rising every time a
train passes through. Mr.. Murphy
stated today that the action of the
railway officials would serve to start
the people of the city to cleaning up
their premises. 1t will be no great
task, according to Mr.. Murphy, as
the vacant lots are now serving as
war gardens.

While the law does not hold a
man guilty every time for killing a
person through an accident (when
the proper precaution was thought
to have been exercised) still if com
mon horse sense is used most of the
time there would be fewer accidents
A street car comes along, a boy
steps out of its way in front Of an
approaching auto and is killed. If
the autoist had been expecting just
such a thing and he should be on
the alert (for its a common thing
for one to step from in front of a
street carr he would either not have
tried to pass the, street car or would
have slowed down to almost a stop.
It's strange more people are not
killed or wounded.

WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE
METZ FRONT, Sept. 18.-President
Wilson'S sharp reply to Austria,
clearly reflects the sentiments of the
American army toward peace nego-
tiations.
From the highest generals to the
lowest doughboys, the determination
is to whip the Boches soundly. The
only fear expressed since July is
that the Germans may escape lick
ing by some trick.
The Austrian proposal is regarded
as such trick-the first squeaI from
the central powers diplomats, the
same as the Boche squeals when he
faces bayonet.
The American soldier is detsrmine ed
to get on German soil. In other
words, the army spirit is to fight to
a knockout.

were all due directly to the allied
American victories, Secretary Daniels
said today at the graduation of GAG
ensigns from the naval academy.
IF the allied forces had not won
military victories" said Daniels, mo
such remarkable speech as Wilhelm
made to the workers in Krupps would
have been delivered, the tender, to
Belgium would not have been made
and the Austrian feeler would not
have been put forth.
There is lesson for us today in
the sequence of events. Military sue
cess is the only argument that Ger
man militarists can now understand
1.-THE allied advances are alone re-
sponsible for the offer Of peace to
Belgium and the proposition of the
Austrian emperor for a conference.
"The American courage on land
and sea wrote the first notes of the
peace offensive. Having failed OF
their detectives by brutal disregard
of the humane standards of warfare
the German war lords and their asso
ciates start peace drive"
