BERLIN, May 81 (delayed).-Opin-
ion that Germany will sign the peace
treaty is growing stronger daily.
There has been a notable letdown in
the death rather than dishonor" ad-
vocated last week.
German newspapers have adopted a
curiously objective air in the matter
and there have been no antipeace
signing demonstrations for the past
six days. Individual opinion, SO far
as l can gather from daily converse
tions with Germans. has undergone a
similarly discreet change.

For Returning Soldiers and Sailors

Everyone should note the fact
thatIthere is sbeing established in
every city and town in the country a
Bureau for Returning Soldiers and
Sailors, at which will be concentrat-
ed all information as TO local OPEN
ings for returning fighters, and at
which soldiers may be advised on
the questions that bother them.
The reason why everyone should be
acquainted with this fact is to as
sure every soldier an opportunity
for whatever benefit he may be able
to derive from this service. You
will note in our advertising columns
that the local bureau is under
management of E. P. Sanderson,
at his office in the studio, just east
of the city hall. There are similar
bureaus at Hudson, c. P. Cary,
Mgr. and at New Richmond, T. ].
McNally. Mgr, and it is planned to
have one in practically every com.
munity. Give this information out
profusely, so that anyone and every.
one may be able to direct the soldier
promptly and directly.

Handling the Flu

The handling of the influenza cpl
demic has presented the same prob
lens in every community which it
has visited, and no city, east or
west, appears to have solved the
problem differently or more efici.
emily than any other. Whatever
measures have been adopted seem
to have met with about the same
success. In other words, it appears
to be absolutely matter Of luck,
pure and simple, as to how hard the
place is hit. For that reason, what
ever action a local Health Board
may take is very apt to be criticized
by those who find it inconYenient,
and there is always the other city to
point to as an excuse for not using
that particular method. The Health
Board is trying, impartially and
with as little inconvenience to the
people as possible, to safeguard
this community, and the people
should realize that it is in their own
interests and give hearty support
Furthermore, an apparent lull in
the attack does not mean that the
danger is over, for in many places
it has come back the second, and
even the third time, and stronger
at each succeeding visit. If each
individual could be taught to muf-
file thescough and sneeze the cpl.
demic would soon be squelched,
and it is because of this menace
that the assembly of crowds, espec-
tally indoors, is discouraged at this
time.
