TWO VERY OPTIMISTIC
VIEWS OF GREAT WAR
Two very optimistic views of the
war from the point of view of the al
lies, have been given much promi
nence by the newspapers- of “Old
London” recently. The first is a quo
i tation from a speech delivered by
Field Marshal French, head of the
British armies. The second is the de
clared opinion of Gen. Brussiloff, of
the Russian armies. Gen. French is
; quoted thus:
“It seems that the contest is ap
I proaching a climax to come either
qoy p- iq the spring, We must re
member however, that a climax and
1 an end are not necessarily the same.”
Gen. Brussiloff said:
| “The war is won today. It is mere
1 ly a question of speculation as to
j how much longer it will be before the
j enemy is convinced that their cause is
! irretrievably hist.”
The g e ra! added that he* spoke
i with authority in deck: ring that the
whole of Ru ia, from the emperor to
-the ' I--, fc soldier, was determined
to prot'c’ , help and. support Rouma
“Russi? will see,” ho raid, “tha: our
- brave little ally docs not suffer for c-r
i pouring the ■ of the allies.”

GRAVE DUTIES
NOW CONFRONT
TOE PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON, D. C.—With the
election decided and assuring his re
turn to a second administration, Mr.
Wilson finds himself confronted with
a situation most serious concerning
the relations of the United States and
the central powers.
This is said on the authoriy of an
official in a position to know the facts.
This seriousness arises from recent
attacks without warning by German
submarines upon vessels bearing citi
zens of the United States—the Mari
na, Lanao, Columbian and Arabia. If
it shall be shown' by legal evidence
that these ships, or any one of them,
were sunk without warning, it is the
view that the United States can come
to no other conclusion than that Ger
many has violated her pledge as given
in the Sussex case.
During the campaign and up to yes
terday the administration had felt it
self handicapped. It has frequently
been explained that no matter what
the government might find it neces
sary to do, it would be accused of
playing politics, if has been the con
stant purpose of the state depart
ment to keep that branch of the gov
ernment free from any such taint. All
danger from any such source has been
removed by the election decision.
Within a few days, it is expected,
the administration will have in hand
all the available evidence in all the
cases that have arisen. It is expected
that the consular reports concerning
the attacks without warning will be
borne out by -this evidence. The Chris
tian Science Monitor is given to un
derstand that with a given set of
facts it will devolve upon the presi
dent himself, to decide upon what
shall be done. It is known that dur
ing the past two months he practical
ly has given no attention whatever to
any other subject than his campaign.
But when he takes up the submarine
question, it is pointed out, in no event
will he take any precipitate action.
As the president himself is well
aware, he has just passed through a
campaign of vituperation and has
been accused of weakness by the op
position in his foreign policy. If the
recent submarine attacks develop in
a legal way what is expected now
they will do, the president’s friends
foci he will bo presented with an op
portunity to answer by his at-.s effec
tually those critics who have accused
him of vaccillation and lac!; of firm
ness.

appears chat not only has the Mexi

atisfactory progress towards a set- i
dement, ( but conditions below the j
Hio Grande are far from encouraging. |

will show that it can effectually police !

A NEW INVENTION.
A conning tower for submarines
that can be floated up to the surface
i when the boat is submerged, and that
| can be used as a means of escape in
■ case of accident, is the object of a
patent recently issued to Carl Kaemp
fer, of West Hoboken.
The conning tower is in the nature
of a buoy, the main part of which is I
normal housed within the hull of the
i submarine, but having a part pro
! jecting sufficiently above the hull to
provide a means for an observer sta
tioned therein to view in all directions
over the surface.
The buoy-like conning tower fits
with air-tight valves into the hull, and
is held down by a wire cable at its
base. The cable winds about the cap
stan and can be paid out when it is
desired to let the apparatus float to
the surface and wound in when it is
desired to haul it back. Trap doors
make it possible to enter or leave the
conning tower, and this has telephon
ic connection with the body of the sub
j marine.
—
A new equipment for killing con
j demned horses with illuminating gas
has been installed in the Denver city
pound. A small air-tight stall is con
nected with the city gas main. While
the horse is munching his oats or hay
from a manger in one side of the stall,
the gas enters from a pipe directly
underneath. The animal gently and
peacefully subsides into insensibility.
Another very successful _ meeting
■ was held by the Odd Fellows iast Mon
| day night. It was decided that all
j new names sent in for the charter1
; class must be in the hands of the or
ganizer, P. S. Hunt, on or before Jan.
; 1st, 1917, and that the former resi
lience and reference must accompany
I the name as well as a portion of the 1
fee, at least $5.00, the balance being |
due on or before Feb. 15th, next.
Several new names were added to
the list as usual, making the lodge a
j certain success.
The Monday evening meetings will
I all be open to the new applicants as
j well as Odd Fellows. Friends desir
, ing information are welcome, as no
business of a private nature will be
conducted. 119

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
