It was pretty well understood all along that the pope's suggestion was Inspired In central Europe. The whole move Is a play to prepare the home people of those nation,! for a step toward peace without the ac complishments of the alms which their governments have repeatedly stated must be attained before pea e was possible. The kaiser knows that the tide of war has turned. His government re alizes that there Is now arrayed against them a combination of de termined peoples who can never' be conquered. To them It Is a question of obtaining the best possible peace terms and as quickly as can be done without Jeopardizing the mainten ance of power by the present dynas ties. . Both in man power and banking credits, the central powers are nearing' the end of their resources; and realize It. With the United States throwing Into the balance tanking resources nearly equal to the combined reserves of all other belligerent countries, Germany sees nothing but failure ahead. With her, It Is a question -whether that end shall mean utter ruin with a democratic Germany, or a peace which will save to the Hohenzol- lerns a united nation still able to be a serious competitor In Interna tional affairs. The diver campaign Is not pro ducing the expected results. As ship building by the allies is rapidly on the increase, the submarine toll Is weekly showing a decrease. Ger many wants peace; and from now on her internal policies will be marked by adroit attempts to prepare her people for the inevitable result and to keep them In a mood that will permit the holding of a firm hand by the present military bureaucracy. Austria Is probably in worse case than Germany. There is no attempt on the part of the government to disguise the fact that she wants peace. She is facing national dis ruption. An early peace Is her only salvation. Her people ' are begin ning to realize that she Is playing the part of a cat's paw for Germany. So long as the central powers cling to the ambitions of their pres ent rulers, the thing most calcu lated to bring peace is frequent sledge-hammer blows by the armies ' of the allies, such as Halg's men in flicted last Friday near Ypres. Ger man plotting and hypocrlcy may succeed In deceiving her own peo ple, but never the governments ar rayed against her In a struggle for world-wide democracy. .

Kor the women are knitting. The order for 1K0 sets or five pieces each to be knitted by the good women of the local Red Cross chapter, means millions upon mil lions of thrusts of the knitting needles; and the work Is under way. There is not a woman In the county who cannot spare a few minutes of oa h day to "Do Her Knit." GOLD IL MINEilS OPTIONED B! TWOHYS (Jold Hill. Ore.. Sept. 24. (Spe cial) The American Exploration company, of Grants Pass, Ore., a Twouy Bros, concern, have taken an option on the Galls Creek M.'A D. company's placer grounds on Gulls creek three miles south of Gold Hill.

"The gratifying achievement of boy scouts with the aid of their scout masters in obtaining over $23,- 00,000 subscriptions to the first lib erty loan, will serve, I hope, to make their work even more effec tive In the new effort," the presi dent wrote. "My earnest wish is that every scout leader give every boy scout' an opportunity to take a definite part In this practical method of giving expression to his second obligation of service to our coun try." It was announced at the organiza tion's headquarters that the scouts will take no part in the canvass un til the last week, when they make a house-to-house canvass. How It Happened.

There Is no better way to use good a i li'i, says the department, than to make them Into butter. The peeled nml sliced apples may be cooked In the boiled, cider or they may be first made Into apple sauce which Is then cooked In elder. It usually takes about equal quantities of sweet cl der and sliced apples to make but ter of the right consistency. In other words. 2 gallons of sweet elder shuold he boiled down to I gallon. and 2 gallons of the prepared apples sh.mld be niMed to It either un cooked or as apple sauce. Tho to essentials of good apple butter are loii'4 slow cooking- from 4 to hours and frequont stirring. If sugar Is used, It should be added af ter the cooking Is about two-thirds doile. About 1 pound of sugar Is the usual proportion for each gal lon of apple butter, but more or leas n.ay be used to suit the taste. The butler may be s;ilccd with cinnamon, cloves and allspice, or with any one of the three, the spices being stirred in when tho cooking Is finished. While still bulling hot tho butter should be packed In storlll.ed glass receptacles, or In stone Jars, wllh thorough precautions ngalnst spo'! Ins wllh any other preserves. illiout Cliler Good apple butter nicy he iiiude without elder. In ; his ei.se enough water Is added to niako a thin ap ple suuee. Ilrown sugar rather than white sugar Is ordinarily used. If a. grape flavor Is desired, It may be ob-j tallied by the use of grnpe Juice In, tho proportion of one pound to each; gallon of the peeled and sliced BP-! riles. There should also be added a. cup of brown sugar and Vi tnaspoon ful salt. When the desired thick ness Is obtained, 1 teaHpoonful cin namon Is stirred in.
