by Mr.. BAlFouR
No Hope for More Than
Truce on Proposal,

LONDON, Sept. i6,--A ]. Bsliour,
the British foreign secretary, giving
his personal viewpoints on the Austrian
peace note TO visiting journalists, said :
1T is incredible that anything can
come OF this proposal
Coming after the recent speech OF
Friedrich Won Payer, the German i'm
perial vice chancellor, Mr.. Balfour said,
"tbis cynical proposal OF the Austrian
government is not genuine attempt
TO obtain peace. II is an attempt to
divide the allies.
Il cannot honestly, in the proposals
now made TO us. as | have been able
to study them" Mr.. Balfour said, see
the slightest hope that the goal we de-
sire-the goal Of a peace which shall
be more than a truee-ean really be
attained
The foreign secretary said he was ut
terly unable to see that conference
proposed by Austria could have the de-
SIRED end.
Mr.. Balfour said no one should take
upon himself the task Of rejecting with
light heart any proposal which would
shorten the length Of the war.
He also declared that no coalition
ever had been so strong as the allied
coalition and that the enemy would no,
succeed in breaking H.

Fewer Lobster Fishermen.

An Augusta (Me.) correspondent says that seven hundred fewer fisher men renewed their licenses to catch Holsters this year than last year, this falling off being due to various causes. Thus far this year Oscar H. Dunbar, the commissioner of sea and shore fisheries, has received the applications from 3,193 men who wish to fish the seas. The high cost of the lumber, lath and twine that go into the traps, together with the increased price of gasoline, has caused many of the fish err len to go out of the business.

WAR ROOMS DYE INDUSTRY
American Plants Not Only Supply Do. mestic Needs, But Sell Large
 Quantities Abroad.

The American dye industry has not only grown big enough to supply prac tically all domestic needs, but is now exporting important quantities to other nations, Uncle Sam's bureau of commerce reports.
 Of all the industries created or de velOped as direct result of war con. ditions, none has shown more rapid progress than American dyestuffs From only seven establishments in which 52S people were engaged in pro ducing 6,6l9,729 pounds of coal-tar colors, valued at $1,12G,699 in 1914, the industry has developed ul,til now 1t not only supplies the domestic de mand for colors, but has even invaded the foreign market in European neu. tral and allied countries, Canada Mex leo, Argentina, Brazil, British India, and Japan.
 No other article of commerce more vitally affects greater number of in dustries than do coal-tar dyes, and very few articles rival them in com pleXity of manufacture. At the cut  break of the war the difficulties in the way of soon providing adequate do nestle supplies seemed insurmount able; yet in the short space of three years scores of plants covering many acres of ground have been erected i, numerous by-product coke ovens have been equipped to furnish the neces, sary raw materials; thousands of workmen have been trained; special machinery has been designed, built and installed; hundreds of chemists and chemical engineers have given their entire time to the unfamiliar work connected with color produc' tion; experimental research has been inaugurated for perfecting processe. and machinery and the possible dis covery of new c0l0rs; organization consultations, and alliances have beer effected within the industry to further increase output at decreased cost ant it is understood In the trade that plan are under way for entering foreiQ IA ,i i~sA A, Ia

Passinu of London Landmark.

Another fine old London landmark, St. Olave's church, in Southwark, is to be closed. It derives its name from Olaf, the Christian Viking of whom Longfellow sings in stirring strain, writes London correspondent. But England possesses churches with Dan ish associations of a different kind. When these pagan sea rovers invaded England and were caught, the ancient English used piously to fay them and nall their skins to their church doors. In the College of Surgeons are three grim relics of the sort, one taken from church at Hadstock, Essex; q sec ond from Copford in the same county, and third from the north door of Worcester cathedral

FARMERS SHOULD BUY BONDS.

Special efforts should be made to reach the farmers in placing the third Liberty Loan. We refer particularly to the farmers of Arkansas, though this applies to farmers generally and especially to Southern farmers.
 No one questions the patriotism or the loyalty of our farmers. The fact that they have not bought largely of Liberty Bonds is easily accounted for. The South knows little of bonds and has never invested in them to any great extent. But the time has ar rived when the South must learn.
 The plain facts should be put before cur people. These facts are easily understood and are most impressive The government has said to the people of this country, Buy these bonds, the

LOYALTY TO THE STATE

It is a good indication of patriotism for people to be proud of their state, believe it has opportunities equal to those of other states, and be willing to say a word for the state that pro tects them and their property. Such citizens are too few. The state needs more loyal, patriotic, satisfied citi- zens; the county and neighborhood should have more residents of this character.
 Every citizen should be loyal to his state. He should be loyal to the county and the neighborhood in which he lives. One may not be able to ap- prove all his county and neighborhood does, as there are always men in gov ernment and in private affairs that disregard the ethics of society and citizenship. Yet it is possible and highly desirable for honorable, up- right men to be in harmony with the majority and thus be able to approve the work of their neighbors.
 The fact that some people cannot live in harmony with the ideals and sentiments of their neighbors is re- sponsible for many of the difficulties in cooperation. Some refuse to take part in cooperative work designed to benefit the neighborhOod because their neighbors also have part in this work In other words, it is jealousy and selfshness that prevents such people from taking part in good work for community building. A commun- ity where many of these people live is seldom prosperous or desirable for newcomers to seek.
 State and county pride should be strong enough to enable the majority of the people to get together on re- form in politics. Men should place their state, county and neighborhood above political differences and politi- cal intrigue; they should be more con- cerned about the men who are select ed as leaders than the party or the division of the party to which they belong; they should be jealous of the reputation of their state and the ex- ample set before the young men of the country. To authorize as gover- nor or other state officer any but clean, honorable, intelligent men is a reflection upon the voters of state and the injury is almost irreparable.

Tho American Soldier.

The American public as whole does not appreciate the admirable qualities of the American regular. It does not realize his devotion to the service, his stern code of honor, or his high standard of intelligence, asserts the Brooklyn Eagle. Every American soldier today carries "a field marshal's baton in his knapsack," to use Ma. poleonic phrase. He has only himself to blame if he does not win all the hOnors promised him at the recruiting station at which he enlists.
