that It followed the offer of Germany
and Austria to make peace on a basis
of no annexation nor Indemnities.
Both Kugland and France, through
members of llielr governments, have
repudiated the Teutonic offer to nego
tiate peace on a basis of the status
quo ante bellum and It Is unlikely that
the secular note being drafted by
Leon Trotsky, the Bolshevikl foreign
minister at I'etrograd, will be answer
ed. It Is possible, however, that a
statement on peace will be made by
some member of the British or French
government which may be accepted
by the Bolshevikl as an answer to
ihelr Invitation to all the allies to en
ter a general peace conference.
There la a disposition to believe that
the Austro-German peace offer Is the
beginning of a "new peace drive," and
that another offer will soon be forth
coming, probably through some neu
tral source.

A Remarkable Invention
. It la no longer Decenary for the motorist to get ttuck. Thla
little device. It carried in hla tool-bos, multiplies his power by
73, and makes him independent of road conditions. If his auto
sticks in the mud, skids into a ditch or overturns, he can right
It in 10 minutes by simply driving the three stakes in the
ground, attaching
PULL-U-OUT
to them and to the auto and giving the ratchet crank ia few
easy turns. The stakes will hold, even In very soft ground
and out comes the auto. No trouble, no expense, not even
soiled clothes! This wonderful little device lifts a ton, of dead
weirht, or pulls SO tons on wheels; yet Its shipping weight is
only 28 lbs., and it fits easily into a space 4x6x14 inches.
