DOVE Of PEACE
STILL FLYS HIGH
PROPOSAL MADE TO ADMIT GER.
MANY TO LEAGUE AND
WATCH CLOSELY
AUSTRIA COMPLAINS Of HARD TERMS
Proposals" Selling Freely In Oc.
cupied German Cities

The Allies reply to all German
counter proposals refuses the German
request for mandate over the form
er German colonies in Africa and the
reparation clauses of the treaty, which
have been agreed upon, do not set any
fixed sum for Germany to pay The
text of the treaty with Germany has
not been changed in any material
sense, but assurances are given that
the plan of reparation Is workable
arrangement for the conquered coun-
try. France is firm in its refusal to
agree to the admission of Germany to
the league of nations, but agrees that
they are willing for her admission at
some future time though not to be
made in compliance with "Germany's
naughty demands for recognition"
The Austrian ENJOYS have addressed
a letter to the council of four COM
planning Of the terms submitted TO
them, claiming that the conditions are
too hard for a nation now over
whelmed with despair for the future.
The complexty Of the Austrian from
tier question is also pointed out as
being one of the great difficulties to
be surmounted. There seems to be
growing sentiment around the peace
table that the arrogance of Germany
would be increased If the demand for
immediate admission to the league
would be recognized. There is also a
growing impression that the French
understand the German situation bet
ter than the other allies and that she
has more at stake than the others in
safeguarding the peace Of Europe.
Copies of the proposed treaty are
being sold in Coblenz, one OF the cities
occupied by the American forces, at
the reasonable sum of two-bits and
the Secret counter proposals" of the
Germans are being sold at ten cents.
The American army stationed in Ger
many are much amused over the con-
sternation at Paris over the circula-
tion OF the treaty terms, as they have
had access to them all the time, ever
since they were sent to Germany.
They are being printed in German,
French and English by German
printing house and are circulating in
all Of the towns in the occupied re-
gion. The published treaty is only
more full in detail than the summary
given out in Paris, as the summary
gives all of the essential facts.

OFFICER LEAVES SERVICE

Captain George Weber, who came
home over a week ago to spend a
short leave of absence, returned to
Camp Dodge last Friday and returned
to Brookings on Tuesday evening fin,
ally discharged from service. The
captains long record of efficiency and
usefulness as battalion adjutant of the
147th F. A. during the world war will
always be one of the things of which
Brookings can be proud. Starting
from here in June, 1917, as the cap
tain of Company G, he has brought to
all his subsequent service the same
attention to duty that made him a
valued soldier with our regiment on
the Mexican border. While at Camp
Dodge he met his brother, Louis A.
Weber, who had just been discharged
from the 89th division, and brought
him to Brookings for few days visit
Together they will leave here the
first of the week for the home of their
parents at Farmer, and remain there
for month or more visiting with the
home folks Captain Weber plans to
attend the University of Wisconsin the
coming year to do post graduate work
and his many friends here wish him
the best of a successful future.

WELL KNOWN OFFICER LEAVES SERVICE
Discharge From Army And Leaves
Brookings To Visit Home

The wet weather of the past couple
OF weeks may have dampened the
ardor of some who contemplated
building but there seems to be plen-
ty of activity along the building line
in evidence around the city. II. L.
Dawes, who recently purchased the
Pearson property at the corner of
Sixth street and Medary avenue broke
ground today for the erection of a
model four apartment fiat building
, nat is planned to be the ideal in the
~4y of homes. Each of the apart
ments Will be provided with living
room, dining room, den, kitchen, two
bed rooms and bath, all arranged with
the idea of comfort and utility with
the maximum attention to beauty IN
the decorations and finishing. The
kitchens are being planned by Mrs
Dawes. who was formerly professor
of home economies at the State Uni
yersity, and has a reputation among
teachers of that science for her praC-
tical ideas along the lines OF nome
building The outside will be of
stucco finish over tile brick and the
roof will also be of tile. 1t will be rs
near as possible a fire proof structure
and with the plain and dignified archi-
lecture of the outside will make
handsome addition to the residence
portion of the city. The plans for this
structure have all been worked out by
Mr.. and Mrs. Dawes, and the gentle
man informs the Register that 1t will
be built by day labor and every part
of the work will have to pass scrutiny
as to its adptability and usefulness, as
it is their intention to have this build
ing a model for others who wish to
erect similar structures.
Work on the Main street buildings
is progressing, the First National
building going up steadily and the
others only slightly delayed by the
rain. Residences in various parts Of
the city are going up and several
more, in fact quite number, are in
contemplation with good reason to be-
lieve that they will soon be under way
