PEACE MOVE IS SEEN IN PAPAL LEGATE'S CALL trvrntliiuvl Fro' Pair One approach Great Britain. France and Russia to sound them out. Jt was intimated further that Ger many had outlined to . the United 8tates through Ambassador fierard more specific terms upon which she I would be willing to treat for peace than the general assertion that those Terms must sareguaro Germany's vital interests. It was alBo said that the atata department had kept In most In timate touch for the last few months, especially with the sentiment toward peace in the warring capitals. Diplomats Have Tailed Peace. American diplomats at London, Paris and Petrograd as well as at Berlin and Vienna have reported conversa tions they nave had with officials on the subject of peace and the terms the various belligerents would be willing to base negotiations upon. ", The fact that Count von Bernatorff. the German ambassador, would neithr affirm nor deny that the reference to peace contained In the German reply waa an Invitation to this government to unaertaKe to use Its good offices in the Interest of a restoration of peace, waa construed to mean that Germany had actually proposed such a course. Inquiries Would Be acade. An official In close touch with i developments said today that the united states may act at the pope's urgestlon and at Germanv'a Invita tion. The first etei to be ta km hv this government looking to the conclu sion of the war, he said, would be to ascertain through th rtant tinin. I matlo representatives here or through weir ioreign otrices whether their countries are willing to consider peace proposals. If an affirmative answer is re ceived, then this government will pre nt a plan tor discussing a basis on Which peace erma might be consid- erea ana lr tncy are accepted the next development wcuw De a proposal by Itha United States that the belllu-er.nt I countries agree to an armistice, the Iauration or which would be limited either to a fixed number of days or until the nei'-tlatlons should be con cluded. May Be Held In Switzerland. It Is possib'e, it waa said, the peae conference would be held in the I'nitnU States, but thex is a wide difference of opinion on 'his point. Many believe It would be iield in Switzf-rland. es pecially If it Is called during the sum mer, and It lr known that Spain is actively seeking to Induce the belliger ents to Hold the congress- in Madrid. It was pointed out today that the return to Germany of Prince von Bue low, former German ambassador in Rome, the conference of Ambassador Gerard with the German emperor and the sending of a communication by Pope Benedict to President Wilson, all comlhg practically together, were timed for a purpose. on Buelow's Same Mentioned. Prince von Buelow, it was said, has not been engaged In warlike activities but wholly with dlplomatalc negotia tions. He has been practically all the tlmo in Switzerland where he has held mysterious conferences of late with the representatives of other countries, who, It Is believed here, acted as in termediaries for the entente nation It was emphasized that whatever preliminary measures are taken by the United States or Pope Benedict or by Germany or other warring countries will be guarded with great secrecy.

TAKES SLAM 'AT CRITICS Critics of the expense of the office of District Attorney Evans are rapped severely in an Interview given to the press yesterday by K. E. Coovert. Mr. Coovert speaks as one of the parties who took a most active part in the county road improvements now in progress and gives commendatory In dorsement to the work done by Dis trict Attorney Evans and his depu ties in handling the legal portion of this work, which Involved an expendi ture of nearly 13,000,000. Mr. Coovert does not place any cash value upon the services rendered by District Attorney Evans, holding that to be largely a matter of opinion. He addresses himself simply " to . the amount -of time Involved and the number of legal details contained In the improvement work. Other at torneys have given their estimates of the value of this work at sums rang ing upward from $10,000, which If cor rect provides almost a complete set-off to the increase of Mr. Evans' term over that of his predecessor. Mr. C covert's statement follows: fcoad Burden Heavy. "The road work in Multnomah coun ty in the last two years has cast a large additional burden on the office of the district attorney. I have been closely connected with the legal end of this, so am in a position to know. "The proceedings for bonding to build and letting contracts for the construction of the interstate bridge; two suits taken to the supreme court to test the validity of the bonds; the test case taken to the supreme court to determine the status of the county board; the proceedings for bonding the county for paving; the contracts let in pursuance of the same, with mainte nance agreement; the attendance on the numerous meetings of the interstate bridge commission; the injunction suit at Oneonta and Bertha, and the nu merous right-of-way contests before the board of county commissioners, are .only a few of the tribulations with which the district attorney's office had to contend by reason of the good roads program within the last few yars. Deputies Kept Busy. "This work required the services of a deputy most of the time and many i times two deputies, besides on many occasions a, largo part of Mr, Evans "This has all been dona efficiently and successfully. "It is a compliment to that office that a million and a quarter road bond issue was approved by over technical attorneys of the bond buy ers without their validity being first tried out in the supreme court." COLUMBIA "POT BOILING' Number Seek Each Office; Recall Issue Is Very Keen. St. Helens, May 6. Several aspi rants seek each office in Columbia county with the exception of surveyor and coroner. E. C.
