Trot zky wrote on the margin, "I ask to discuss it. I,. T." The concluding document of the in stallment is a German warnin: on January 20 to I.enine that unknown ueitators were circulating propaandri telling in advance of the plans of the I'olshcviki to openly surrender to the Germans as they aclually did later. Proofs removing any doubts that Lenine und Trotzky, the ItoUheviki leuilers, ure paid German agents if indeed any remain were laid before the world yesterday by Ihe United States coUTnmciit in the first in-.-lallmcnt of an amazing; series of of ficial documents disclosed through the committee on public information. Paid (Jolil to Lenine Secured in Hussia by American agents, these documents not only show bow the (ierman government through its imperial hank paid its gold to Lenine, Trotzky and their immediate assoiiates to betrav Hus sia into deserting her allies, hut gave added proofs, if any be necessary, that Germany had perfected her plans for a war of world conquest long be fore the assassinations at Sarevjo, which as the world is now convinced conveniently furnished her pretext. These documents further show that before the world war was four months old, and more than two years before the United States was drawn into it, Germany already was setting afool her plans to "mobilize destructive agents und observers" to cause ex plosions, strikes and outrages in this country and planned the employment of "anarchistcs and escaped crimin als'' for the purpose. Prussian Intrigue Almost ranking in their sensational nature with the notorious Zimmer man note proposing war by Mexico and Japan usin the United States rommander was detailed to "defend" IVtrograd against the German army and an extent of Gcrmun intrigue and domination beyond the realm of iminagination.

In the speech made at Manchester hy Premier Lloyd George It Is be lieved he replied In advance to any peace tentatives. In fact, it Is be lieved, the premier knew Austria had thia mnvA In mlml whpn hn H 1 1 1 Arprl which was f ir-st given to the world . (ne speech through the Associated Press, these documents lay bare a new strata of Prussian. intrigue, a new view of the workings of Kultur to disrupt the iilhes, standing between the world and kaiserism. They disclose n new lory of human treachery for gold which might almost well be describ ed without sacrilege as placing its IH-rpetralors on a pedestal with Judas and bis 110 pieces of silver. The intrigue iippcurs to have been carried down to the last detail of ar rangements with typical German sys tem. It will he revealed completely ill a series of seven articles furnished by the Committee on Public Informa tion for puhlicatio'n each morning, beginning today, until the series is complete. , Paid Gorman Agcnls Not only do the disclosures prove that Lenine, Trotzky und their band are paid German agcnls. They show that the llolsheviki revolution which threw Russia into such orgy of mur der jind excess as the world has seldom seen, uctually was arranged by the Gcrmaii general staff. They show how the paid agents of Ger many bcli'iiycd liussiu at Ihe llrcst Litovsk "iicnce" conference; how- the German staff officers secret rv have been received bv the Itolsheviki as military advisers; how thev havt acted as spies upon the embassies of! the nations Willi which Russia was allied or al peace, how Ihev effectual ly have directed the Holshcviki for eign, domestic und economic policy wholly in the interest of Germany and the shame and degradalion of Russia. "In impudent shame," is Ihe Mail's editorial head over its coment on tho note which it describes as "another form of un old German trick." "The German emperor is n ven triloquist whose voice we niuy hear in this Austrian telegram,'' the news paper continues, "anil we hear it be cause the militarv masters under whom Germany is bleeding are afraid." Safety of Own Skins "It is not humanity which they have in view, but the safety of their own skins. Mr. Wilson's great watchword, 'no peace with nutoc racy' applies to Austria. The allied attitude is clear. We require repara tion, restitution and guarantees nnd since t lie fresh German outrages upon French territory we require the pun ishment of Ihe criminals. We remind the enemy of President' Wilson's words, "there can be no compromise; no half way decision is tolerable.' " "We must find a repentant and contrite Germany, and German pol icy carried out by very different nil ers before we can even hope to dis cuss peace,'' says Ihe Telegraph. "It is true that all nations desire therein! of the war but peace must be lasting. Above all it must be peace which in Mr. Wilson's words, makes the world safe for democracy. As lonu as the kaiser and the pan-Gcniians direct wilh iiTcsi-lihle authority Ibc dcMi nics of Gcnniiny, so lung can there be no question of an armistice or purely academic negotiations. Monday was spent mostly In reglstra- tlon and assignment of Btudles and classes, and no attedance figures can be obtained for a day or two. It will probably be Tuesday or 'Wednesday) before ,the teachers and pupils can get down to the regular study routine. The teaching staff was on the job early today with only one Instructor mlBBing and that In the high school, for as yet no manual training instruc tor has been obtained. Superinten dent Davenport announced that this position will be filled within the next few days. A number of the older high school girls met with a disap pointment this morning, for after they had arisen early and hurried to the high school building In order to choose choice seats before the crowd arrived, after having stood around for an hour or more they learned for the first time that seats would not be assigned until Tuesday. PEACE OFFENSIVE If El assertion points to the Interviews that recently took place in Vienna be tween Burlan and Admiral von Hintze the German foreign minister. "It Is impossible to believe In the absence of an agreement between the two empires," the Matin adds. "This clumsy comedy will deceive no one."

The (own of Vailly on the norili bank of the Aisnc east of Soissons has been captured by the French the war office announced today. The French have continued their progress between the Oise and the Aisiie and captured Mont Ues Singes. Pronounced Kisky Step AMSTERDAM, Sept. 1C. The peace initiative should have been left to the entente allies, according to the Tages Zeltung of Berlin, which com ments on tho Austrian peace note. "The fate of all previous announce ments as to readiness for peace and a conciliatory spirit on the part of tho central powers does not encour age great hopes that this offer will meet with greater success," the news paper says. "It must naturally en counter great skepticism on our part." Austria's move may prove quite a risky step," says the Neueste Nach ricnten of Berlin. The Berlin Post fears the offer will be again inter preted by entente countries as weak ness and a sign of impending col lapse, as well as a begging for peace. The Vorwaerts says: "Austria's peace tentatives will tie welcomed by tho widest circles of the tiorman people and many hopes will I Tie placed In It hut It Is necessary to utter a warning over hasty optimism. MEET AGAIN AFTER 50 YEARS SEPARATION "Among Ihe visitors at the G. A. It. encampment on Friday were Mr. and .Mrs. William Hays of Medford, anil to say they enjoyed the encamp nient und other events, can not be expressed in words," says the Grants Pass Courier in the Sunday edition. "Mr.s. lliiys learned before coinin; to Grants Puss that a Philip Ilelmer lived in this city and immediately on her arrival started out to locate the gentleman, nnd nfter inquiry was di rected to Ilelmer's furniture store, where he was found, and was ap proached thus, 'Do you know me?' Of course he did not, then she drew from a leather bag, n photograph which fairly made Mr". Ilelmer's eyes slick out, for it wns his father's. A series of lightning guessing took place in the mind of the gentleman nnd he fi nally managed to say, 'Well, who lire you, anyVay?' "To make a long story short, Mrs. Hays was reared in tho Ilelmer fam ily from a little girl, when he mother came to keep house for Mr. Ilelmer's father, alter the death of his wife, and therefore was like a sister. "This is tlie first time in 40 years these two have met." A FAMOUS , JfiEDIClNE How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For Woman's Use.

The Austrian proposal for a peace confer ence was not much of a surprise In Parisian political icenters whore It Is considered to be a consequence of the recent military successes of the allies. The general, Impression is that tho now peace offensive cannot be fruit ful.

There is a more serious stage of Catarrh than the annoyance caused by tho stopped-up air passages, and the hawking and spitting and other distasteful features. The real danger comes from the tendency of the disease to continue its course downward until the lungs become affected, and then dreaded consumption is en your path. Your own experience has taught you that tho disease cannot be cured by sprays, inhalers, atomizers, jellies ana otner local applications. S. S.
