FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
i The cost of his insurance for
j three years was less than his
! loss *t this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Owner, going
1 to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
I loss?
Any person wishing to build

It Is learned that the Kennecott
Copper corporation has been adding
to its holdings of Utah Copper com
I pany shares during the declining
i movement of the last two months.
! The Kennecott owned, before the cur
rent accumulation began, 600,000
shares, of which slightly more than
40,000 shares were acquired from the
Guggenheim Exploration company,
while approximately 200.000 shares
were bought oarly this year from J.
P. Morgan & company and other
large holders. In the absence of an
nouncement of the extent of recent
purchases, it was assumed that the
Kennecott management had taken
advantage of the drop in the stock
market in order to increase the hold
ings of Utah shares to a point where
the latter company would be control
i
led. The purchase of another block
as large as the one obtained last
March would give the Kennecott prac
tically half the outstanding Utah Cop-,
per shares. At the time of the pur
chase of the 200,000 shares it was
rumored that a merger of the Ken
fieieott, Utah, and Chile properties
was being contemplated, but later of
ficial statements were made that such
a plan was not being considered.

TALK OF PEACE
\
(By Associated Press)
BERNE, Dec. 13.—About the only
thing that Switzerland has too much
of is peace rumors. Travelers who
come from Germany, France, Aus
tria and Italy say those countries,
too, are full of talk about the con
ferences that are supposed to be go
ing on constantly here between “per
sonalities'* from the entente and the
central powers.
An American who because of his
prominence in local affairs must be
nameless sums up the'Tictual situa
tion. as the corespondent has found
it- also, when he points out that the
presence of notables from belligerent
countries must not be regarded as
significant because while they may
come here to "feel out" the sentiment
of the other side, they are not often
genuine peace envoys.
Any proposition which any govrn
ment is willing to advance, or to ac-J
cept, can be stated by any agent
whose presence here is not even not
ed and wrho is without authority to
do more than deliver or listen to a
proposal. No one has been compro
mised, particularly no one has exhib
ited “signs of weakness” by advanc
ing “terms.”
That such tentative "feelers” have
been put out repeatedly seems be
yond doubt, but it is not these that
have caused the ever-recurring peace
rumors to circulate, but rather the
presence from time to time of na j
tional characters from either side, j
The facts seem to indicate that, if1
peace negotiations actually are going
on, they are privately conducted, for
their respective governments, by un- J
pretentious and more or leas unoffi
cial persons.
One American aserts that he has
acted as a "peace emissary’ * for the
entente, and in this capacity met a
German of inconspicuous station,
who. the American was given to be- j
lieve, was prepared to make a peace
proposal. The two met, the German
explained that he understood he was
to receive; rather than submit, a
peace plan. Convinced that there
had been a misunderstanding, neither
would or could “talk business,” and
30 they shook hands and left.
Mathias Erzberger, the German
Centrist deputy one-time “uncrowned
king behind the Prussian throne,” is'
quoted as having said he had n?.d an j
interview with an English “peace ‘
agent.” But it is believed here that
Erzberger’s fellow conferee was one1
of the unofficial kind.
Something like three years of this !
diet of peace rumors has left the ma
jority of Sw’iss pessimistic. Mention |
peace and the average Swiss shakes
his head sadly. Roll a few big and
imposing names from your tongue and
he becomes positively gloomy, for he ’
is like the childi who h3s once been
burned by the fire—and has learned,
the utter futility of setting any store !
by the presence of various big char- j
acters from all nations w'ho, at one1
time or another, have been here—orl
have been said to be here.
That secret, unofficial peace discus-1
sions between representatives of both i
sides who-are not bound and have
no authority have taken place and
perhaps are taking place is generally
believed.
