Both these extremes, camouflaged
or open, are active enough in the
country today, Neither of the domi-
nations would promote those construc-

us down from the unsound economic
practices which of necessity grew out
of the war, nor would they secure
the good will to production of our
farmers and workers or maintain the
initiative of our business men.
Up To Two Parties.
The Issues look forward, not back
ward. l do not believe in more than
two great parties. Otherwise COM
binations of groups could, as in Eu-
rope. create danger of minority rule.
I believe in party organization to sup
port great ideals and to carry great
issues and consistent policies. Nor
can any one man dictate the issues of
great parties It appears to me that
the hope of a great majority of our
citizens in confronting this new peri
cd in American life is that the great
parties will take positive stands on the
many issues that confront us. and will
select men whose character and asso-
Citations will guarantee their pledges
Il am being urged by people in
both parties to declare my allegiance
to either one or the other. Those who
know me know that l am able to

I BERLIN, Feb 9.-The entente let
! ter covering the list of alleged war
guilty Germans. whose delivery for
trial by allied tribunals is demanded
is described today not in the ma
ture of an ultimatum." The text of
the letter. it was said today, had eased
the situation considerably from the
German point OF view.
1t is learned the letter was signed
by Britain, France Rumania. Poland,
Jugo-Slavia, Czecho- -Slavakia, Bel
gum and Italy.
1t asserts that the list does not in
clude all the war-guilty but names for
the sake of practicabiIity only those
who were chiefly responsible for war
crimes.
GermanY cannot conclude that the
necessarily other war guilty have been
granted amnesty, for the entente re-
serves the right to prosecute them if
they are found in entente territory,
the letter states. 1t asks the right to
examine German archives and asserts
that supplementary note will be sent
explaining to the Germans how the al
lied demands may be carried out. No
body in or out of the government.
thinks that such men as Won Hinden-
burg and Ludendorff will be surrend-

DREAM CITIES.

TT is not an uncommon experience
l. to find ourselves In dream city.
| Perhaps 1t Is one which we recognize
though 1t may, be changed by the
| dream DhGntasmagOria; familiar build

strange city buildings appear in UNI
expected places. Sometimes we rec
ognize it as city we have always
wanted to see and never have seen
and sometimes 1t appears to be one
of which we never have even heard.
Not infrequently name for the place
Is suggested in our dream--a name
which we are sure Is new to us. 1t
Is cheap way to travel and, the
mystlcs say, not bad one. For,
while TO visit cities in the waking
life Is an expensive operation, to
travel to the cities of dreams Is ac-
counted most favorable omen and
means riches ahead. Unless indeed
the city he on fire; then take care OF
your finances or poverty will overthke
you.
1t is generally agreed that If your
city of dreams Is a strange one to
you, and you are lost in 1t, you Will
shortly change your residence WITH,
as rule, favorable results to your
business.
