will to fight and thus bring them
little by little to make peace"
In a word, instead of the crushing
triumph counted upon in July. the
German high command now pins its
hope Of success in the WEAKNESS OF
the allies. The crown council meets
the next day and General Ludendorff
voices the same attenuated hope.
"A major offensive" he declares.
lis no longer possible. We must con-
fine ourselves to defensive strategy
with local offensives. Thus we may
hope eventually to paralyze the
enemy's will to fight"
The kaiser gives his opinion. 1t is
ito watch for a favorable moment
for coming to terms with the enemy.
His chancellor agrees with him, re-
commencing that "steps be taken at
the opportune moment to arrive at
all understanding" This moment is to
western 'front.'" In other words to
await developments, without undue
haste. Won Hintze, less confident in
the success of defensive strategy, asks
to be given immediate authority ito
initiate the work Of peace by diplo-
matte means" By this he means "a
reduction of the war aims heretofore
proclaimed" This proposal is unanim-
ously rejected. Marshal Hindenburg
declares.
1--WE shall succeed in maintaining
ourselves upon French soil and thus We
shall eventually subject the enemy to
our will"
Forget Term "Nach Paris
So it is no longer question as it
was month before of mach Paris"
But successes in France are still hoped
for. They are confident of remaining
on French soil. While there they hope
to pave the way for negotiations which
will lead to an advantageous peace. In
consequence, the powers given to Won
Hintze for the preparation of diplo-
matte negotiations are strictly limited
by "the maintenance of the war aims
established to victory and by the ex
pectat;on Of the favorable opportunity
which will be created by the next sue
|cess.
The foregoing account makes it I'M
necessary for me to insist on the falsity
Of the statement that peace was pos.
known. NJ. Aristide BRAND, formerly
middle of 1917 by a Belgian, Baron
Cope with so-called peace proposals
from Baron Won Lancken, who bears so
heavy responsibility for the martyrdom
of Belgium. M. BRAND, in laying these
overtures before NJ. Ribot who had sue
|ceeded him as premier, appeared to be-
lieve that they were serious and would
lead to the restitution of Alsace- Lor-
raine. NJ. Ribot on the contrary
thought that 1T was a trap" 1t is
clear from the quotations and facts
given above that as late as the begin
ming Of July, 1918, Germany intended
of the war aims established in view to
victory" that il to say peace of an
nexation and not of restoration. The
official evidence of Admiral Won Hintze.
the kaiser's foreign minister, and the
documents quoted above settle the
question.

PENDLETON SUSPECT
ANSWERS DESCRIPTION

Thompson Falls, Oct. 25-An officer
has been sent to Pendleton, Ore, to
attempt to identify man held there on
suspicion Of being one of the prisoners
who escaped here in the Jail break OF
last Wednesday. The man gave the
name Of George Baker.
According to information received
here Tuesday, Claude Watts, alias Joe
Watkins, under arrest at Sand Point,
Ida, has waived extraditiOn and is
being brought back here. If the sus-
pect ut Pendleton proves to be Baker,
only the two negroes who were In the
party of Jail breakers here. Oct. 10,
remain to be taken. Chances are if
they are still hiding in the mountains
near here, they will be taken soon.
They were without food or ammunition
and wore light clothing.
Sheriff Hartman soon effected the
capture of the Watts boy after inter
cepting a letter to his mother. This
letter gave. the sheriff the first clue
to the others. It is a mystery here
how Baker eluded the officers here
and got to Oregon, but the Pendleton
message states that the man captured
there answers the description of the
man wanted here. Baker was in jail
for burglary at, Paradise in September,
while the Watts boy was held on a
moonshine charge, his partner being
out on bail now. "t

mountable drawback to Burbank is
that he is alive. What Of it?' asks
the sculptor. HE has accomplished
definite things in horticulture. Years
from now, fruits and flowers will still
be associated with the name and work
Of Luther Burbank Why should we
wait for death before comforting an
honor on such a man.
The Burbank statue now stands In
Gertrude Boyle's New York studio.
She tells how he gave her the choice
of studying him in the house or out
of-doors. She chose to watch him IN
his garden where he sorted seeds and
worked with his flowers.
He would flutter around the beds,
she says, and suddenly swoop down to
pick up something; then off to another
bed and swoop again. 1t came to her,
eagle. His hands curved to pick up
the seeds, and his face with its keen
gray eyes and strong nose, bore out
the resemblance.
Burbank was not satisfied at first
with this conception of him. He did
not see the resemblance, and rather
objected to the idea Of representing
what he termed bird of prey. Later,
however, Miss Boyle heard Of his TAX
ing strong liking to another person.
He explained it by saying, I'VE are
congenial because we are both eagles.
There is much talk of the trend OF
art, and if there is less ado about the
trend in sculpture it exists, none the
less. Gertrude Boyle explains that
sculptur is leaving the classical stan,
dards of close imitation of a model
and elaborate technique, and Is ad-
vancing along simpler lines.
Emotion Expressed In Pose.
Her studio, on the edge Of Green.
wich Village, is filled with examples of
the modern, though not futuristic, art:
Little sketches of only few sklliful
lines are tackled on the walls-figures
dancing, leaping, bending back in des-
pair, or bowed in fear. E1aggeration,
YOU think at first, on viewing the ht-
man figure depicted in every possible
and what look like a few Impossible
attitudes about the studio. Then you
begin to use your Imagination, as ad-
yised by all modern artists, and the
figures become more intelligible:
As in acting, you see that in order to
ell the truth, the creator has had to
exaggerate.
on the tables and shelves OF MISS
Boyle's studio. Some Of these are
only half brought out of the clay. just
enough to make vivid the attitude of
love, hate or defiance. There are
paintings, too, done in dark mass eff
fects, showing figures straining against
forces of nature or caught poweriess
in the grip Of some trouble.
Miss Boyle finds it most desirable
NOT to name her statues. Here again
you get phase of the modern trend.
Whistler was regarded az radical when
he called his paintings "Nocturnes,
preferring not to hamper the magma
ton of spectators by descriptive titles.
So, today. the artist says, See what
you can in my work. II you don't see
the same thing that Ibid, it doesn't
very much matter. Bxt by all means
use your own Imagination" This forces
the inspector Of pictures and statues
to think and to use his eyes If he Is
to see the work at all.

NORTH DAKOTA'S SPECIAL
ELECTION.
1ORTH DAKOTA will be very

NORTH DAKOTA will be very
~ much in the limelight this
week, Friday, because Of the special
state election to be held on that
day. Neighboring states will watch
its outcome with interest for it is
the first cleancut contest ever stag
ed between the Nonpartisan league
and its opponents without the COM
plications of party designations on
the ballot. The Nonpartisan league
candidates, all of whom in this spe-
cial election are present office hold
ers in that state, must 60 before
the people on the ballots as Mon
partisans" while the candidates Of
those opposed to them will be des-
ignated Independents" In this
way, the individuals upon the ticket
must stand upon their own merits
and are denied the prestige the des-
ignations of Democrat" or ere
publican might give them.
The attention of the United
States is turned toward North Da-
kota at this time, not 50 much be-
cause it may be a defeat or a VIC
tory for the Nonpartisan league,
but because it is the first attempt
in this country to Gust state Off
Gals by means of the recall.
It is claimed by those opposed
to the Nonpartisan league that the
leagues strength lies in its ability
to: capture one or the other
of the old parties primaries.
In North Dakota, league men,
bers worked through the Re-
publican party. In Montana, they
worked through the Democratic. II
is said they won out repeatedly
in North Dakota's elections because
there are so many straight voting
Republicans there who vote their
party ticket no matter whom the
candidates may be, while in Mon

Republican ticket, not because they
liked the Republicans more, but be-
cause they liked the Nonpartisans

A Daily Bible Thought
SENATOR WALSH AND THE
TREATY.

\ MONG the Democratic senator's
"A who refused to vote for the
Harding peace treaty with Germany
was Senator Walsh Of this state.
Senator Walsh was strong sup
porter Of the Versailles peace treaty
as President Wilson sent it to the
senate, and his arguments in its
favor at that time were regarded as
among the strongest set forth by its
supporters in the senate. At first
Senator Walsh was counted among
the Democrats who were disposed
to accept the new Harding treaty as
the best they could get from this
administration who would be re-
sponsible for its defects. On closer
examination, however, Senator
Walsh found that certain provisions
in it were so unfair and inequitable
to Germany, that after a vain at
tempt on the floor Of the senate to
amend these provisions, violating
equity and justice, Senator Walsh
felt constrained to vote against rat
ification of the treaty.
The New York Times in its issue
of October 20, referring editorially
to Senator Walsh's speech in the
senate on Wednesday,, October IL,
on the German peace treaty, said:
1.-TWO powerful attacks upon the
treaty were made in the senate. One
of them was a close legal argument
by Senator Walsh Of Montana.
Disposed at first to vote for the
treaty as a means of bringing the
war to an end, he found himself
unable to do SO on examining it.
The reason he gave was that the
document really contained two con-
flicting rules about the claims to
be made upon Germany by the
United States. One was the rule
of the Versailles treaty. The other
was the rule of the Knox resolution.
The latter, embodied in the treaty,
would make Germany liable for all
claims to our nationals for loss,
damage or injury to their persons or
property Senator Walsh contend
ed with great force that this would
cover soldiers in the field az well
as civilians, and affirmed that the
widest jingoes who gathered at
Paris to pluck the fallen foe would
not go SO far He maintained that
this section Of the treaty was abso-
lutely incapable Of execution"

Irn Wall Street
Discount Rate (.ossin

On perusing the latest statement Of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, the Street appeared to be CON
WINGED yesterday that reduction in the
commercial rate of discount Of the
local institutions is on the cards and
likely to come very shortly. Some of
the commission house economists and
financial experts thought they saw in
the figures the prospect of cut in
the rate to a straight 6 per cent Level
inside of ten days a number Of small
wagers were made on this basis, in
one case the bet hinging upon a cut
in the rate before the end of next
week. What attracted most attention
III the statement was the rise in the
ratio of gold reserves TO Federal Re-
serve notes in circulation after setting
aside 35 per cent against deposit liabil-
ties, this item climbing to 935 per
cent, against S4.5 per cent the pre-
ceding week. The local Reserve Bank.
it was learned yesterday, is using part
of the funds carried on deposit for
British and French account and re-
ceived in connection with reparation5
in the purchase of acceptances for
temporary investment for London and

State Bonds Go Well

Managers Of the banking syndicate
which was awarded the issue of Ssh

highway, canal terminal and forest
preserve purchase bonds reported an
active demand FOR the issue on the
formal opening Of the subscription
books yesterday. One of the surpris-
ing features of the sale of the bonds
yesterday was the avid demand from
investors and institutions for the short
maturities. The first two Or three ma
turtles were taken within few min
utes of the opening of the books and
the demand ran heavy all the way to
the 1934s, all of the maturities up to
this one being sold out by early after
noon. The bankers said the individual
subscriptions were the largest for any
issue so far this year, the average
size of the prices being considerably
above the average of other recent bond
offerings. A heavy demand for the
bonds is coming naturally from indi-
viduals of large income who have to
pay big surfaces and therefore favor
tax exempt bonds. Indications were
yesterday that the whole issue would be
completely sold at the close of business

Against complex of factors making
Tor decline in security prices fac
tor OF genuinely constructive nature
was set yesterday. The weekly Re
serve Bank statements measured the
fundamental Improvement in the credit
market, and q reflex of this was the
decline in the call money renewal rate
TO per cent--the lowest prevailing
since April %. Call money is a special
kind of credit, which does not always
fiuctuate in accordance with basic con-
ditions, but the two coincided yester-
day.
Early in the session the further
easing of call money rates impaired a
degree of stability to the stock market.
but vigorous thrusts against particular
stocks before the close unsettled the
market equilibrium. At the end of the
days trading the average price of
thirty typical industrial stocks was the
lowest of the year, and that of twenty
rails, which have been relatively steady
during the present decline, was lower
than on Thursday.
The spectacular weakness was IN oil
companies with Mexican holdings, and
was associated with the new oil tax
and fear of delay in the movement to
recognize the Obregon government.
In other groups of stocks the further
recession seemed more due to the
momentum of the decline than to any
new factor in the news. The United
States Steel Corporation announced
that the untitled tonnage as of May 81
had shrunk 362,7S7 since the pre-
vious month. Production in May aver
aged 40 per cent of capacity The re-
cession is striking, but is no larger
than was anticipated.
In the foreign exchange market
sterling declined sharply in London
again yesterday before the New York
trading began. Spectators used the
new depression as an opportunity TO
acquire exchange and the buying
caused rebound of more than cents
from the low. The exchanges of west
ern Europe similarly spurted.
The firmness was reflected by fur-
ther rise in wheat quotations. Cotton
n1ices were steady, though tending
slightly lower at the close.
