WILL NOT TALK PEACE UNTIL AFTER VICTORY Will Not Consider War Ended Germany Is Conquored By Carl D. Groat. (t.'nited Press Staff Correspondent.) Washington, Aug. 1. The United States will talk specific terms only when Germany is beaten. This is the decision of tlie government as the allied democracies enter upon the lour tli year ot the world struggle. Behind it are found the reasons for America's refusal to support, now, re tention by France of Alsace-Lorraine peace proviso. It further reveals the United States is committed to press through to the finish, side by side by her allies. And it may be stated with authority that there is an understand ing among all these nations America included that there will be no separate peace. The government today is concerned only with victory. The government refuses to state even what terms it has in mind if any though the belief is that the allies now have a common understanding with this country as to how far the war should proceed nad what nius( bo wrested from Germany when victory comes. t Court House News WHITE SOX TAKEOKLY THREE OUT OF EIGHT i In Same Time Their Red Hosed Rivals Have Not Lost a Game SEATTLE CARS WILL i By H.

Since beginning an eastern invasion, the White Sox have won only three out of eight contests. In the same lapse of time the Red Sox have lost not a single contest. Today the Boston gang stand in first plafe, a game separating them from their hite Hosed rival. The final crack tn make it com plete appeared in the Comiskey pitch ing staff when Eddie Cicotte took a beating at Boston. The Red Sox maced him for 13 hits.
