* IS PEACE NEAR?
{ If peace ‘loss nob come in 1918
it will be more discussed than
, it was in 1917; an I there are
many who have studied the mit
. ter very c.refully who say that
if peace Joes not come very
shortly u will be indefinitely
postponed —meaning not until j
the American forces are on the
battle fronts in such quantity as
to cause the Germans to retire
from the western front.
During the past month the
Germans have made peace pro
posals to the Bolsheviki element j
of Russia; these terms did not I
meet with the expected response j
and Russia is again in arms.
Diplomatic illy speaking, it was I
also a bid for the Allies to make
some remarks that would show
on what terms peace might be
had with them. England, France
and Americv have spoken, and
the answir could be summed
up in the words: “Germany
whipped or Germany repent
ant.”

THE HAUNTED CABIN
A true story by an Alaskan fur
collector.
An e\rly breik-up having
made it necessary for me to
postpone a certain trip, I had
to make for the coast, where I
knew a boat would pick me up.

the Natives told me not to stay
in a certain cabin because of
spooks — a doctor having com
initted suicide in it.
I thanked them for* the inf >rm
Eition and stirte 1 for the pi vce,
being only afraid of crazy folk .
The cabin had once been used
as a bunk house ~ early next
morning I he ird a repe-ite l and
uncanny knocking under-the
ro >f. I looked out, but the
knocking ceased — next morn
ing the same tiling happened.
In front of the cabin was tne
beach, and behind ^v is a high
rock wall 2d0 feet nig.i; s > it

Having noticed th it c.u; doo
m ide a noise on opening, I left
it open the third night and re
mained fully dressed. Jngnt
and early, ag tin came the ghost
rat-a-tat; out i rushed, to find
a raven digging dims on i,.e
beach and flying to the r > >f to
cr ick the shells an l eat his ireak
fast — previously the noise of
the opening door had scared him
away — this was one spoo.t of
the cabin.
If we are going to figot tnis
war out in iVashington, ivny
send more troops to Hrancef —
New York World.
Go back to the simple life,
be contented with simple food,
simple pleasures, simple clothes
Work hard, pray hard, play
hard. Work, eat, recreate and
sleep. Do it all courageously.
We have a victory to win.
