REALIZING DEFEAT

At last the Germans are beginning to realize that they have been
licked. The attitude of the German nation every since the armistice
Twas signed has been one of mere eondesenson. The German troops
returning from the war were received like conquering heroes; the
government has been one of defiance. Grave doubts have existed in
many minds as to whether or not the war should have been fought
on a few days more so IS to have administered a decisive defeat to
the German armies, which was about to take place, so as to have left
hot the slightest doubt as to who won the war.
But there will be no doubt as to the outcome when Germany
Bigns the peace terms that have been presented to the German dele
gates. The real meaning of the defeat is just being brought home
TO the German people. A wave of protest is just now sweeping
bver Germany. Laboring under the delusion that they had not been
aefeated, they are naturally Mortified at the dose they have to swal-
low.
Great, indeed, has been the fall of kurur.
But when one stops to think what the terms would have been
had the Germans been victorious and had been in a position to die
tate the terms of peace, one is inclined to think that the terms that
Germany is forced to accept are mild indeed.
The crushing terms imposed upon France in 1871 are readily
recalled: the treaty of peace which the Germans forced upon the
Russians at BrestLitovsk are still fresh in the minds of all.
1t makes a difference who is doing the debating as to whether
br not the terms are harsh in the minds of the Germans.
But the presentation of the peace terms to the Germans has
iended to confirm another suspicion that has been held by a great
many people since the fighting ceased and the kaiser fled into Hoi
land for safety. One of the provisions in the peace treaty that IS

Situated between the upper mills

scenes of rapine, pillage. conflagra-

they were long the rivals and foes,

policy of their kings early induced

o medium size, with round heads
and healthful faces, the blond more
common than the brunette, their
physical appearance has apparently
changed little. The working classes,
who constitute nine-tenths of the ma

gal, enduring, temperate rather than
abstentious, and intensely patriotic.
Those qualities distinguish the thou

More real estate is changing hand, in Yavapai just now than for long while past, Country people are in vesting in Prescott income property and others are offering fine bargains in ranches for sale. The man with a ranch for sale is often at a loss to know just how to find buyer but fl he will read the pages of this paper he need not be. Selling and buying real estate is a special business and we have in Prescott well-established firms who have long since proven their capacity in this line. Many strangers are in Prescott just now looking for country property; let the real estate dealers know what you have.

abount the village at $2 a gallon and butter at $2 a pound. There was some lively foot work to get to me first to secure some of this food, and my patrons often were quite peeved in not getting more than their snare. We also had a coop full of fine lay ing hens, but the eggs were held up for Sunday morning breakfast, and they went at g a dozen also, with not near enough to go around. Now, mind you, the Ehle family did not fix the price, the purchaser did, so we were not, technically speaking, monopolists, but the high priced game was decidedly agreeable"
 Mr. Ehle has reached his 77th year and his physical vigor is remarkable. He is conducting transfer and ex- press business, and his muscular equipment is of that strenuous nature that he can pick up a load in his arms the younger man would groan in handling. His father reached the mellow age of 99 years and the only son stated yesterday he is headed for the century goal in fine health.

PIONEER PAVES NEW RECORD AS
 A SHAVER

Fifty-hve years as a resident of Prescott is the remarkable achieve ment of John II. Ehle, who celebrat- ed this event yesterday by entertain ing few of his Hassayamper friends. As an early day pilgrim he now leads the van of pioneers, ar irving in this city on July 28, 1864. In summoning from the shadowy past scenes once familiar, he stated that there is today only one building which he can recall as still standing, and that is the frame structure ad- joining on the north the building oc- cupied by the Rufner mortuary chapel.
 In that faraway day Prescott had total of exactly fourteen houses and a population of about 145, and until the arrival of the Ehlc family there was not enough women folks to make up a set to dance a quad rifle. In reviewing the long ago, Mir. Ehle, while at the depot stepped over to the second switch of the railroad and said: Tt was right here where we went into camp under a large pine tree. My father brought from Colorado, or at least started there from, with herd of over 135 fine dairy COWS, but when we landed here there were about 100 left on the trail behind us; the Indians got 'em, and we were lucky to get off as easy.
