You must come down to breakfast some morning soon and start the day right with one or two cups of Schilling s Best You, too, will say "Ah! that's coffee!" Res ho CHANCE FOR PEACE Palo Alto, Cal., May IWPeaoe suggestions mad In the German not ta the United Statee are not In such shape as to be ot any value." de clared Dr. David Starr Jordan, chan cellor emeritus t Stanford univer sity today. The noted peace advocate asserted that peace could only he ef fected It all nations agreed to go hack to where they were before, the war began. "The alliee." said Dr. Jordan, "will not consider any proposal that does not Include the restoration or Bel alum and northern France. Condi tions on the eastern front would also have to be adjusted by an interna tional commission. 'I think that Germany should say squarely that It Is ready for a con sideration ot terms of peace. These terms should Include the evacuation of Belgium and northern France. An other condition should be an agree ment on the part of England to re turn all of Germany's colonies. Peace a,t present can only become a reality when the nations agree to go acK to right whre they were when they started." Schilling's Best is fine coffee, pro tected in its goodness by vacuum-sealed tins. Using these tins makes, such coffee possible, by permitting us to grind it evenly, take-out the objectionable chaff and seai-in the full flavor of fresh roasted coffee. Its economy is astonishing, although the price by the pound is not low. It goes further than any coffee we know of. When you use Schilling's Best, it's well to follow directions.

The rear was that carransa would delay ratification ot the Scott-Obregon agreement, again asking for with drawal of United States troops. There I was hope that the reported definite i location of Francisco Villa mlgbt mean early success for the American expedition. Administration mem bers doubted that Carranxa would insist to the point ot thwarting the agreement though It was believed he might objert anew to the presence of the troops "Just to keep the record straight." Officials said the situation was brighter than la weeks. They antic ipate that an early withdrawal of American troops is possible, though no date has been fixed.

General Hugh Scott expects to sign today the agree ment which he entered into with General Alvarb Obregon covering the operations ot American troops In Mexico. Whatever obstacles prevent ed Obregon from signing yesterday are believed to have been overcome today and it was expected he would meet Scott in a last conference with out further hesitation. Obregon declared that his message from Carranza was garbled and that prevented the sealing of the agree ment. Officials did not credit this, however, asserting that Carranza probably hoped the German 'reply would affect the situation. Circumstantial accounts today re vealed an Interesting phase of the preliminaries. Scott sent, O. P. Brown agent of the war department, to Juarez to "throw the fear of God in to Mexicans' hearts" before the first conference, according to these re porjs. Brown failed to find Obregon, but conferred with General Gavlra and Consul Garcia, giving them Scott's message. He communicated a warning that the United States would no longer tolerate anarchy in Mexico, and that if the Mexicans con tinued their attitude of assertiveness and defiance, the next two years would be blacker than 1846 and 1847. 1 Despite this, Obregon made a sweeping demand in the first con ference, It was learned, Issuing a virtual ultimatum for the withdraw al of American troops from Mexico. Scott's attitude was effective, and In the second conference Obregon was ready to "talk turkey." I Negotiations proceeded rapidly with the understanding that the l United States forces would quickly clean up northern Mexico. Reports from Mexicans who assert that Francisco Villa Is near Santiago Pappasqnlaro, state of Dnranga, 800 miles from the border, and five hun dred miles south of the American outposts, do not agree with General Pershing's advices. MEXICAN PROBLEM STILL UNSETTLED tondon. May 6. Dispatches from Washington reporting the probable acceptance of the German submarine note reply by the United States gov ernment, brought disappointment to England today. The morning newspapers published lengthy editorials, and agreed al most unanimously that the reply fail ed to meet the American demands. The press expressed concern over the attempt to embroil England and the United States by making the conces sions conditional on a change of British methods. The only paragraph satisfactory In Iondon was Ger many's declaration that concessions made would prevent the prolongation of the war. Critics seized upon this as an admission that Germany Is highly alarmed over the possible ef fects of America's entrance Into the war on the Bide of the allies. The Post and the Chronicle agreed that Germany was prolonging the nego tiations again. SAN FRANCISCO GETS RAW AFTER 45 DAYS San Francisco, May 6.

The Navy league today sued Henry Ford for 1100,000, charging that he publish ed In advertisements statements 'libelous and defamatory" to the' or ganization. The suit wbs filed by Attorneys Henry MrFarland and Henry Hreek- enrldge, the latter being the man who resigned as assistant secretary of war when Secretary Garrison quit. Tho determination to file the ac tion was reached at a meeting when the attorneys were Instructed to file similar complaints against news papers publishing and repenting the alleged libels. The league bused Its alleged libels charge on statements to the effect that the "league la spending huge sums to tell Americans it was organ ized in defense of the country," that munitions workers were their tools preaching fear to "get munitions contracts." and that this "treason masked as patriotism had deluded many who have not thought or will not think." Mythology of Dragon. The mythology of dragons U im mensely mixed. Tho one thing certain seems to bo thnt of the many writers who describe them not one ever saw them. Many of tho descriptions: come nenrer to a winged crocodile than any thing el, and the conjecture that the drngon Idea wns developed from some tradition of an extinct saurian seems probntile. In the gypsy lore of south eastern Europe the "drnkoa" becomes' the ogre of the nursery, He takes a humnn wife, hunts. Is an expert In horseflesh and lives, of course, in a pnlacc. Andrew Lang pointed out that the modern Greek story of "the last Drakos" Is the same as that told In Scotland of "the last rict." Letterheads'af the Courier.
