A GOOD CANDIDATE

As the time comes near when the
republicans must decide who is the
best man for the Office of sheriff, the
REGISTER desires to call attention to
n of the candidates in particular.
John Nolan has been for quite a mum
her of wears a successful farmer near
the city. He has been alive to all
of the issues in the life Of the com
munity and has been progressive
enough to take an active part in the
things that make for the good Of the
county and state. He Is outspoken in
his opinions ana no one need doubt
for a moment where Mr.. Nolan stands
on any question. lie is a careful man
We feel assured would not take
any hasty action as the chief peace
officer of the county. His patriotism
cannot be questioned and his gener-
osity in giving to all of the organiza-
lions that are working for the com
good at this time is well known
to his friends. The Register believes
that John Nolan would make a good
sheriff for Brookines county, would
her citizens good service and do
what he could to save money for the
TAX payers. Therefore We recommend
him as q safe man for whom any re
publican can cast his vote at the pri-
mary election on May 2Sth.

LUDENDoRFF GETS OUT.

London.-Oficial announcement was
made In Berlin that Emperor William
had acceded to the request of General
Ludendorff, the first Quartermaster
General, that he be- permitted to re-
yign.
General surprise was caused In Ber.
lin by the fact that the daily report
from German headquarters was not
signed, as usual with the name OF
General Ludendorff. Later the follow
ing official announcement was issued:

TO be allowed to retire Of Infantry

ed at the same time that the Lower

which the General has long been CHIEF,
shall bear henceforth the name OF

His resignation, It is believed IN
London, will still further shake the
faith OF the German people In Their

Washington.-The German reply IS
expected to clear the way for a general
discussion Of the individual views of
the Entente Powers on peace terms
and an agreement among the nations
fighting Germany so that united
front on these questions may be pre-.
sented to the common enemy. A Lon.
don dispatch announced that Premier
Lloyd George and Foreign Secretary
Balfour had gone to Paris with mill.
tary and naval advisers, indicating
that the conferences between the rep.
resentatives Of the Allied powers and
the United States soon were to begin.
Germany's reply does not change
the diplomatic situation. Those in the
confidence OF President Wilson have
said that his dealings with the German
Government ended with his note In.
forming 1t that the request for an
armistice and peace had been trans.
mitted to the Allies and that further
action rested with those Governments.
The German reply may or may not
prove that Germany will accept such
terms Of an armistice as may be pre-.
sented. In this connection the Presi.
dent in his last note said:
"Should such terms OF an armistice
be suggested their acceptance by Ger.
many would afford the best concre,e
evidence of her unequivocal accept.
ance OF the terms and principles Of
peace upon which the whole action
proceeds.
The German reply takes cognizance
of the Presidents statement in his last
note that 1t is evident that the power
OF the King Of Prussia to control the
policy Of the Empire is unimpaired by
stating that the peace negotiations are
being conducted by peoples govern.
ment in whose hands rests the power
to make the deciding conclusions and
TO which the military powers also are
subject.
This may give added significance to
the unofficial report from Berlin via
that General Ludendorf,
Quartermaster General OF the German
Army, has resigned. He generally was
regarded as the virtual head of the
German high command.

designation OF "nlgger" Will disappear

"nigger" may not entirely disappear
even though 1t should cease TO imply

not always contemptuous term, but
is frequently used good-humoredly by
