WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. President Wilson today
openly invited Austria to a further peace discussion with
the United Spates. In a remarkable address to the joint
session of congress answering the Von Ilertling and
Czernin speeches he outlined a basis for Austrian nego

principles involved and the necessity for candidly apply

for the leasing .f HU.ODO acres of

tural purposes fn.,units of townships
and sections, lying in Umatilla, Mor
row and tlilliam counties were adver
tised by- the interior department
through the local reclamation office,
on J urinary 1-th. and bids for these
lane were opened here yesterday un
tie the terms of the advertisement bv
poject Manager H. D. Newell. As
the high cost of doing things is gen
erally conceded, it is not a little sur
prising tj learn that the good old
I'ncle Sam is g"oing to receive some of.
the cream -ef the so-called war pros- t
perity, in increased rentals.
Sheep men from different sections
f the state were here to look after
their interests and competition in the
bidding for the so-called strategical
sections was keen and the attention
bestowed on them by the various bid
ders was of the kind that would be
described as concentrated. A mini
mum price heretofore had been at the
rate eif ten dollars a section, but at
this time the interior department fixed
a minimum charge of twenty dollars
a section, with the sky as the limit,
and from the offers received yester
day some of t hu sheepmen availejd
themselves eif the privilege of tilting
;ill former rentals into ancient his
tory. -
As a matter of fact, some of the
bids ranged for the key sections as
high as SJ.m. it will require several
elays to determine who the suceessful
bidders are but it is cone'tfdeel that
t he federal government is to profit
by t he new leases to the extent of
more than in" pe-r cent.

Dan P. Smythe has returned from
an extended trip through the east
-.during: which he spent some time in
Washington. D. C. He says that the

than is the west.
Senator Chamberlain is the -biggest
man in Washington outside of the
president and possibly McAdoo, says
Mr. Smythe. He is generally regarded
in the east as one of the country's
strongest men at this time. He be
lieves that the senator will accom

War Says Correspondent.
END OF WAR NEAR
IF ALLIES STAND PAT
Adherence to Wilsonian
Program and Stonewall
West Front Necessary. .'
(Copyright 1918, hy I'nited Pre.
ZURICH, Feb. 1 1. Ominous un
rest is growing daily throughout th
central empires. Germany and Aus
tria must have peace or gt under. Thi
people of tooth countries demand It.
Jf the allies standpat on the. Wilson
ian program and make a stonewall o4
the western front, the end of the war
Is In sight. This sums up the situa
tfon as seen from here, it does not
mean Germany is facing revolution.
It means the people are tired of war
They are opposed to annexation policy
and are angry over privations at
home and' losses of men. They be
lieve President Wilson's war aim
statement is sincere. The undermost
masses are beginning to see the light.
lHpIomatic Blunders Cause,
Only diplomatic blunders kept the
German people bound to war thin
long. For instance. Philip Scblede-
t mann, 18 months ago' threatened
GERMANY IS
something like a revolution unless tlv ,
junkers changed their tone. Shortl-
afterwards the allies . intimated tha
wLr would not stop until the centra'
powers were disrupted. Whorcupcu
Scheldemann and tils followers al
igned themselves with the govern .
ment to fight for their country!
German comment indicates the al
lies are now on the right track in say
ing they will only continue the war
until the German war party relfh
quishes Its world conquest ambitions
when they are ready to make an
equitable peace. Today the German
and Austrian masses are in a mood
to listen to reason.
IKmestic Conditions Awful.
From dependable sources, I larn
'that domestic conditions in both
countries are appalling. Austria is
; threatened with disruption. Protests,
etc., are common. Illness is rampant,
the fuel shortage severe and milk and
! butter are the scarcest. Even when
j the poor get food, this Is of the poor
est quality and fails to nourish The
i rich live well by bribery and high
, prices. Crime is sweeping the coun
! try. daylight robberies are common,
i and discontent rife. The weatern of
fensive is possibly the Teutons' last
trump. Only on the promise it will
bring peace are the pee pie allowing
it to be played. The French at Ver
dun and the British at Yprcs hold the
trumps, the Americans have tho frePb
hand.
