ENVOY FL. DRESEL
 HAS PEACE PACT
For the Time Being, Germany
 Discusses Situation Pro and Con

Berlin, Aug. 23.-Final instructions relative to the treaty of peace between the United States and Germany have been received from Secretary of State Charles E.. Hughes by Ellis Loring Dresel, U. s. commissioner here, and the treaty now awaits signature by the German government. It is now expected the document will be signed in the next few days at special meeting of the cabinet which will be attended by President Ebert. The document will bear the presidents s signature and will be countersigned |either by pr. Joseph H. Wirth, the chancellor or Dr. Friedrich Rosen, the foreign minister.
 Newspaper Comment.
 For the first time since the peace negotiations have been in progress the newspapers of Berlin are giving the subject extended consideration ap- parently much to the embarras ssment of the governm ent which hitherto has succeeded in keeping all discussion out of the public prints. Editorial comments have been wholly non-com- initial, but they have concurred in expressing satisfaction over the pros pect of early resumption of friendly relations with the last of the nations which were either active belligerents or with which diplomatic intercourse was interrupted.
 The Freiheit independent socialist |organ welcomes the impending peace in the interest of the working classes, and expresses belief that the Reichstag will not oppose ratification of the treaty with the United States. The Tageblatt declares it has learned that the treaty would provide ample reservations respecting the safeguarding German private proper ty in the United States, the Washing ton government merely claiming the right of retention until claims ] against Germany have been satisfied, Confidence is expressed by the news paper that these claims will be met by the German government without the necessity of converting the private propery of German subjects into cash

THE LASH OF THE EYES.

Most men know how eyes, eyes of the sex that is fair. may lash-or lanquish. Vague, indefinite, but none the less interesting. have been rumors that women have Uncovered new way to make themselves what they call attractive. The rain of Grand Prix Day in Paris brought forth the truth. Tn Dauville, during the last few seasons, women have made many ex- periments in new methods of attrac- tion. 'Tis said that from there came the bare leg fad, flesh-colored dresses, paint as substitute for stockings l But this year there were produced artificial eyelashes made of very light silk fabric pasted to the eye- lids, harmonizing in color with the ishade of the eyes, the toute en semble of the toilette.
 The women were prepared to como out fortified by these dainty, dexter ously designed dinners Of the glance on Grand Prix Day. But the unsympa- thetic rain fell the ardor of the eve lashes faded and then came the pa |thetic dropping of the wonderful little silken things much as tears would have Ispoiled their beauty. The wearers of the beautiful eyelashes of silk rush led home and wept copiously, completine the havoc created by the downpour outside.
 But it is predicted that, with the determination of the sex in matter. of beauty, the silk eyelashes will rise again as they dry, and may ye
 bring the complete downfall of sus } ceptible man, if they have not dom so already in advanced America.

NUISANCE.

There seems to be great uncertainty h the matter of nuisances. If there
 general or special committee the common council or out of it. ppointed to take care of general rules oncerning a line of business or of f affairs, it seems to be the idea that k a man is bothered by something ouaing within that group of matters eing investigated by that committee, Dpeal to it should be made to abate Fhat he calls nuisance" merely be- ause that committee is studying those nairs.
 The case of the gas pump which is (lleged to be a nuisance, is one in point. There is a committee trying Q decide what stand shall be taken $bout placing them, as a general rule, (n the curb.
 The gas pump by the Bethany hurch was alleged to be a nuisance The proper action to be taken was , have a committee appointed to find )ut if it was a nuisance in fact, and 50 to have it removed without con- ulftng the special committee of the eommcn Council appointed to inves- tgate the general stand to be taken egarding gas pumps on the curb The me had no more relation to the other han if the gas pump had been a burning heap of rubbish, and the peciaI com nittee had been appointed b investigate the condition of cleo gic poles about the city.
 When the matter came up in the sommon Council the greatest lack of judgment was displayed. It did not eem to be known what procedure hould be taken. Even one of the most level-headed of the members uggested reference of this petition or the abatement of a nuisance te

"JEST RUNuNATIN'!"
(Robert Russell)

If when you put your hand to work you find it's cramped an torn,
 Make up your mind that ain't the thing to do which you were born. Draw out your hand, if you have give the work a decent trial.
 An tackle somethin' different but keep the same calm smile. Work honestly at this new thing; don't let no little fault
 Deter you from continuin'; don't call no sudden halt But if you don't succeed, if you are young,t jest try once more
 youth, jest as you had afore. But if you've tried an tried again, an stil' you find you fail
 Don't think the fault is with your job don't your bad lucl. bewail; Try lookin' straight within yourself; see if you ain't to blame
 But keep on tryin' all the time keep fghtin' jest the same. All if you think there is chance there's somethin' wrong with you Consider if you hadn't better look to what you do. Quit .changin' places; hold your job - perhaps your al- tered way
 Will show that the job you have. is where you ought to stay.

ing our industries to compete with the western factories.
 The bulletin goes on to state that a conference was recently held in Chi cago between interested carriers and shippers and a tentative scale of rates was agreed upon. Eastern shippers were carefully kept in ignorance of the meeting and were allowed no rep resentatives. At this time, we sur mise, that favortte pastirne, passing the buck" was indulged in. The ten tative scaleewould make the first class rate from Chicago to Atlanta, Georgia, s2.1p per hundred pounds, the same as it is from New York. The rate from Boston would be eight cents per hundred pounds higher than from New York or from Chicago. At the present time the first class rate from Chicago is 3s cents higher than from Boston. Therefore the tentative scale means a reduction of 4e cents per hundred from Chicago. This, again quoting from the bulletin would prove a serious handicap to New England and Eastern Seaboard territory ship pers, and perhaps prevent them from holding on to their southeastern trade, which is long esta blished, and will surely prevent them from expanding or increasing their businese in that territory.
 The New England Traffic
 League is preparing to contest
 this disturbance of relationship,
 and will mako every effort to hold
 the present adjustments which is
 of long standing and to which we
 are entitled account of our water
 transportation. A large fund will
 have to be subscribed to defray
 the legal expense and compiling r of data necessary for conducting
 the case before the Interstate
 Commerce Commission.
 The Traffic, League with a
 membership representing over
 200 industries in New England,
 is insistent that We Tn New Eng
 land are entitled to the benefits of our water competition with the
 rail carriers and that the relation
 ship between the rates in this ter
 ritory and the rates from territory lying west of Buffalo and Pitts buryh be maintained. New Eng lands industries trade with this territory has beeen built upon the present rate structure. which is no hardship on the Central West manufacturer or shipper, and to disturb this long standing rela- tion:hip of rates would result in a serious handicap and loss to New England and the Eastern seaboard territory generally. Although this is matter of vital interest to the eastern factories, it al- so concerns eastern labor. When the competition becomes prohibitive to manufacturing it seriously affects the workman who must produce the goods to earn his living. Let us all hope that the New England Traffic League will be able to attain it's object of | more equal rate than is proposed and clinch its argument of water trans portation.
