TUB PEACE DOVE The gentle cooing ol the peace dor la beard throughout the war torn nations and it seems to be growing stronger. First it made It self known In Russia, but, no one thought It was a real dove. How ever, Great Britain has spoken, Am erica has Died tentative teruis and all the beligerents are discussing the Issue. Thought makes the world go ' round. Thinking Is usually follow- cd by action. All nations have been thinking war and the war went "er- rlly on. Now that all nations are thinking peace, will peace come? No one knows what time has In tore, but, the fraternizing of Ger man troops with the Rusians has two sides' to it. The Russians are a peo ple of high ideals and devoted to peaceful methods In all things. They, too, will sow seeds of discord among the Germans. Particularly will this be true when we remember that the people of Germany are systematic ally and viciously deceived by their ruling classes, and It may yet be the part of Russia to enlighten them In this matter. Already there are ap pearances tn Germany of a strong and growing desire for peace. Prusslanlsm and peace cannot go together,, and when the people of Germany grasp this fact there may be something doing In that country that the kaiser cannot control. It took Just one day to throw the czar of all the Russlas off the throne, and for that ancient empire to blossom forth In the light of democracy. The German people are competent to do the same thing, If they once compre hend, the conditions under which they rest. Already the emperor Is casting about to fortify himself against the loss of Alsace-Larralne and the Ger man colonies, and has rounded up his vassals, Anstro-Hungary and pledged them to support his claim. No public announcement has yet been made of It. but, It Is probable . that he could Influence Turkey and Bulgaria to do the same thing. The kaiser has his ' troubles also, even though he claims to be the only holy one of God. Turkey Is having trouble of her own and the Emperor has not come to her help as was expected. STie is losing Palestine and Mesopo tamia and if the war lasts much longer she is liable to lose other ter ritory, consequently, the feet of Turkey are getting a ' little chilly. The cooing of th dove seems to be getting stronger. Saturday Special - ASK I S KOIl ' ri.KISt'HM AWS RH1 PKS THROl'llH TIRIMTZ TO JKSCS Sinking of British hospital steam ship outside the barred son by a German submarine Is a literal real itatlon of the German pastor'a ser mon of "through Tlrplti to Jesus." It la the German method of bringing salvation Torpedoing of hospital ahips Is no new thing to Germans, but a favor ite method of warfare. Sinking of hospital ships began In the Black sea in 1915 and has continued Inter mlttently since. War on the helpless Is German efficiency. . Sinking of the Rew was a viola tion of the agreement made by Ger many through the Intercession of King Alfonso of Spain, whereby free movement of hospital ships within certain specified ares outside the barred tone was agreed tot. The Rewa had all the markings required by The Hague convention. But what Is an agreement to the German gov ernment except something to be broken? The rommsnder of the U-boat which stink the vessel will probably be rewarded with an Iron eross by the kaiser. Had he succeeded In drowning the helpless cripples. wonnded and sick aboard, he would have been In line for a higher dec oration of German chivalry. No self-respecting nation can dis cus peace terms with such a treaty- hIng promlfreak,n(c g0TjrB. ment, for any agreement made It not worth the paper It Is written upon to rulers without Mall Tribune. honor.

Ger many's war bread, reported to be adulterated with various flour sub stitutes, has caused widespread sick ness In the kaiser's empire, accord ing to reports from Washington, T). C, received here. The situation Li Germany was so serious that a com mittee of scientists had been ap pointed In Berlin to take drastic measures to remedy It. The German war loaf, the report stated, emits a disagreeable odor ard has an unpleasant taste and flavor i and has been the source of a serious Intestinal disorder which, It wai said, had approached the; dimension of a scourge In Berlin and other German cities.

The people at Bridge In the east ern part of the county held a big na trlottc demonstration this week when visited by Captain V. A. Arn old of th signal corps, who went to the place to meet the men engaged in logging and making ship knees for the purpose of signing them a mem bers of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen. The purpose was simply to meet th workers tn the woods as at other points, where log gers are gathered, but th people of the community arranged a big pa triotic gathering. Men and women came from miles around,' and the officer was greeted with a fife and drnm corps and a decorated hall for the gathering as a mark of general approval of the loyal legion move ment In that neighborhood.
