ANOTHER "PEACE" DRIVE
Probability and grave danger of
another German peace drive were
emphasised by President A. Lawr
ence Lowell, of Harvard university,
In his address at Philadelphia last
Thursday at the opening session of
the convention of the. League to En
force Peace. He said In part:
"It la not at all Improbable that
within a few weeks Germany may
propose to make peace on terms
that appear on their face reasonable
and moderate. She may offer to
retire from Belgium and France and
even to contribute toward the dam
ago suffered, to cede Alsace and Lor
raine or leave their future to be de
rided by plebiscite, to give the Tren
tlno and Trieste to Italy, to promise
some kind of autonomy to the var
ious races In -Central and Eastern
Europe, and to agree that the bar
barities she has -practiced shall not
again be permitted In war.
"Such an offer might well beguile
the allies into a delusive peace. The
peace would be delusive for, unless
the principle of militarism Is des
troyed, the promises would be kept
no better than those broken In the
past. Autonomy of other races would
mean their organization for the
strengthening of Germany; until she
had control of the resources of
population of 200,000,000 for her
next war. Such a settlement would
be a mere truce pending a strife
more fierce hereafter.
"If the upshot of this war Is in
conclusive the whole world will be
preparing for another. During any
temporary truce men of science In
all countries will devote much of
their thought to making engines
more destructive and more deadly
for the next struggle which will be
well nlh a war of extermination.
"Civilization as we know It has
Teached a point where lt.(imist pre
clude war or perlxh by war, and war
can oe precluded only by a conquest
of the world by a single power, or
by an organization of many nations
to prevent Its recurrence.
"The principle of predatory mill
tarism cannot be done away unless
mankind has the Intelligence, the
maemlnlmity and the determination
so to organize Itself that justice shall
take the place of violence, and that
the predatory state shall he re
strained, by force If need be, from
The high school class of 118 held
Its commencement exercises In the
opera house Friday night at t
o'clock. The stage was decorated
with Ivy and dog wood blossoms and
provided a lovely setting for the 33
young men and women who march
ed down the aisle through the Ivy
arches held by the Junior girls. Rev.
L. Myron Booter gave the Invoca
tion, after which a splendid reading
waa given by Estella Feldmaler.
The glee club girls gave two very
pleasing numbers followed by a pi-1
ano solo by Vivian Isbam. Gertrude
Kerley. and Helen Ellis gave vocal
solos which showed further evidence
of the unusual talent In the class.
President J. H. Ackerman of the
state normal school, waa the speaker
of the evening. He took for his sub
ject 'What of the Educational Fu
ture." "The war is going to raise
the standard of American educa
tion," said President Ackerman, "we
must prepare for the future of our
nation by being trained to our high
est efficiency." Mr. Ackerman's ad
dress was strong and forceful.
H. H. Wardrlp, principle of the
high school, presented the class and
awarded honor medals. A fellowship
medal given by A. S. Barnes, was
awarded to Vivian Isham. The schol
arship medal for the senior class
was given to Ella Anderson, who
was also presented with a scholar
ship from Whitman college.
NO AVAILABLE FUNDS
P. 8. Bramwell, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, who went to
Portland last week In an endeavor to
secure the promise of the state high
way commission to assist In tne Im
provement of the Oregon mountain
road, which Is greatly needed In or
der that the chrome ore from the
High Plateau country may be hauled
to the Waters Creek terminus of the
C. O. C. railroad, atates that the
members of the highway commission
seemed favorable to the proposition,
but that the board bad no available
funds for that or any other purpose.
The state board Is so much Inter
ested In the matter that R. A. Booth,
one of the members, will visit here
during the week and will go over,
the road. The county court went
over the route last week and express
the Intention of doing all In their
power to make possible the hauling
of chrome ore through Grants Pass
Iqstead of the coast way.

The Carnegie library proposition
lost by about 2 to 1, the city running
aboit even, while the county was In
general greatly opposed to the pro
position. This Is the third time that
the county has rejected the offer of
funds for the erection of a library
building. The negative vote was In
a measure due to persistent props
ganda oa the part of the opposition
and the failure of those most Inter
ested to make a clear public state

Russians In their fear of permanent
Japanese occupation would be thrown j
Into the arms of Germany.
Therefore It was announced In To-,

abandoned, at least Indefinitely post

Meanwhile the activities of General
Semenoff, the Cossack leader of tha

resulted In practically a state of war
on the border between Siberia and
