PEACE TALK AGAIN

Baron .Burian, the AustroHungarian Foreign Minister, handed
'ont some more hot air to the German newspapermen who visited
Vienna the other day. The whining for peace, the shame of con-
tnued slaughter, and all that, comes at a time when the Central
Powers have done about all the damage they could and now that they
are at the end of their rope they would call quits.
The baron suggests an exchange of peace views. That has been
suggested before and the only ones to offer anything definite has
been the Entente Allies. Both England and France have state what
they were fighting for, and President Wilson, on several occasions =
tonce in the most definite manner-set forth the Allies peace terms
{but Germany has consistently remained silent. Not once has she in
Ntmatsd to the world what her objects were in this war. Her leaders
Ntwaddle about self defense and some more baby talk of the kind, but
they have not even replied tothe Allies terms, let alone set forth any
OF their own; yet, every once In a while some leader of the Central
Powers, such as Baron Burian, comes forth with a suggestion of an
Exchange Of peace views.
IL the Central Powers have any views to offer, why do they not
present themf The Allies have set forth their views, it is now up
Ito Germany.
But the Central Powers are not ready for peace unless they can
dictate the terms All this talk about being ready for peace if the
Allies would show the proper spirit is merely for the purpose of
fphndmg the people at home. The leaders want to fool the people
INTO believing that the Allies are the only obstacle to peace, as long
.as they can, and, through their control of the press and by strict
censorship OF all outside news, they are able to keep up the bluff.
we 40 not know what the final peace terms might have been had
Inc Central Powers been willing to actually consider them before
America got into the war, but now that the United States is in. the
terms are unconditional surrender, and we are going TO fight il out
on thsi line IT, it takes half a dozen summers.

Famous " omen
Princess MARY

When Louis XII OF France became
a widower at the age of SO, through
the death OF Anne OF Brittany, he was
left without an heir to his throne. He
therefore sought In marriage Princess
Mary. sister OF Henry VII. Of Eng
land, who was then seventeen years
old. She was In love with Charles
Brandon. Viscount Isle, afterward
Duke OF Suffolk. Reasons OF State,
however, compelled her to accept
Louis and they were married by proxy
IN England In August. 1914. After the
lapse OF several weeks Louis became
impatient for his bride and urged
immediate departure for France.
Mary was sent with attendants,
among them the Duke OF Suffolk.
Early in October Mary made her for
NAL entry into France. Louis imme-
diately dismissed all the attendants,
with the exception of SUFFOLK, who
stayed as English Ambassador. Mary
and Suffolk were very careful In their
conduct. but did not have TO wait Ions
for the king to die. He obliged three
months after Mary's arrival, and q
month later Mary and the Duke OF
Suffolk we're married.

FOR BELIEVERS IN 0MENS
Numerous Popular superstitions, Many
Of Which Are Common Among
Men on the Briny Deep.

A well-lznown superstition Is that
-wisps, or devils eyes, seen
on the tips Of the spars after a gale
In the tropics, appear only when the
ship is nearing her doom.
A cross-eyed man for -messmate
means plenty. Of good luck, Jack
thinks, and 1t is the best Of luck to
sail under a red-haired skipper. If,
however, he happens to have cross
eyes, also, the combination is fatal,
and trouble will be experienced before
the voyage is ended.
Sunday is considered a fortunate
day upon which to begin voyage,
while Friday is. Of course, very un-
lucky.
If the ships bell is made to toll by
the rolling of the vessel it is sign
that there is going to be loss Of
life.
All luck is disposed to desert a
ship which carries dead body.
Sailors have been known to hang
the end Of a rope over the side Of a
ship when leaving port. The belief
is that friends and relatives draw
upon this rope, causing the vessel to
come. safely back.
It is common belief that for bar
Der to lather the face of patron with
single stroke Of the brush inevitably
brings bad luck.
It is considered bad luck to see a
hunchback in the mirror standing or
passing back Of one. 1t Is said to
foretell a death in the family.
The habit of sitting with legs cross
ed in a barber shop will, 1t Is said,
make the hair come out early in
life, and render a man prematurely
bald.
TO be shaved by a red-headed bar
Der is believed by many to be a sure
cure for rheumatism.
Good luck is said to follow the man
who has his shoes polished at the time
he is being shaved.

Fuel Administrators Urges Use Of
Wood.

The. continued alarming shortage
Of fuel for domestic consumption and
for industrial plants is matter Of
grave concern and all conservation
measures for saving fuel are highly
important. Coupled with this of
course is. the necessity for saving
heat, light and power, in order to
1void waste of fuel.
Ferdinand A. Meyer, Federal Fuel
Administrator for Maryland, is CO.
operating with Mr.. F. W. Besley,
State Forester, other State officials.
md with County Chairmen and
MEMBERS Of local fuel committees in
very county of Maryland, SO that
through increased use of wood for
'uel, distress may be avoided.
COUPLED with this is the work of dis
eminating information as to soft
oal, so that when this is available it
may be used economically and best
results obtained, thus releasing to a
ronounced degree the continued
1eavy demands on Anthracite coal
or places where soft coal cannot be
burned.

MADE IN-GERMANY LIES

Canada Is also having trouble with
Notwithstanding lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad-
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this eoun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
Stories without even a vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle. persist

trust. the great essential in the work

pear from criticism; to refrain from
