We have just had a Bell Telephone put in and I couldn’t resist calling you by Long Distance. It’s marvel* ous that we can he^r each other as distinctly as though we were in thfe same room, and the Long Distance rates are so reasonable! “I really don’t see how we ever man aged without a Bell Telephone. All the merchants and every one we know uses the Bell. It has saved me thousands of steps and hours of worry already. “It’s worth the cost simply to be able i to sit at home and visit with friends hun dreds of miles away.” Every Bell Telephone is a Long Distance Station. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY P, E. WESTBROOK, Manager German Peace Offered by Kaiser Slowly Losing Its German Features Uoyd-George Says England Will Fight Until France Regains Alsace-Lorraine. General News Review of Past Week. By EDWARD W. PICKARD, i Kaiser Wilhelm reminds one of the old-fashioned Tiddler of notions who would keep adding packages of needles, watches, and even silver coins, to his little bundles of bargains until u sale was effected. With northern France and no indemnities already In Ids bargain offering, the emperor has udded Belgium—with conditions—and now It Is reported he and Emperor •Charles of Austrltt-Huugary are pre pared to throw in Alsace, the price being peace ond the return of Ger many's colonies. In a word, the Ger man peace for which the kaiser shows so consuming u desire is becoming less German every day, and If the allies Just say nothing and saw wouu—a% they probably will—it may finally take on an appearance that will warrant their consideration. To be sure, Chancellor Mlchaells says that peace Is impossible so long ns Germany's enemies demand any German soil or try to drive a wedge between the German emperor and his people, but the chancellor Is hard pressed to save his political fortunes. He and Vice Chancellor Helfferich are being bitterly attacked because of the policy of fostering pan-Germanism In the country and the array and at the same time making promises of mild ness in return for peace. Mlchaells was compelled to tell the relchstag that he did not stand for the extreme demands of the pan-Germanists, and for the time being his opponents were satisfied; hut his failure as chancellor is pronounced. Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann Is more yielding than the chancellor, for he told the relchstag that there now exists *'no impediment to peace, no questions that could not be settled by negotiations, except for the French demand for Alsace-Lorraine.” He ndded that Germuuy could muke no concessions with regard to those prov inces. Premier Lloyd George was quick to take up this challenge of Von Kuehl- minin’*. *T do not think that any statement is more calculated to pro long the war,” he said. ‘‘However long the war may last, Englnnd In tends to stand by France until she hag most encouraging slfens of the yeat and It was held that If such dissatis faction exists In the German naval forces, which have not been subjected to very severe hammering, the morale of the army must be breaking down. New Government For Russia. Premier Kerensky, having virtually defied the democratic congress, ap- polAted a new coalition cabinet pledged to restore order In the repub lic and suppress anarchy and to re new the fighting power of the army. Kerensky and several of bis colleagues went to the front to lay their plans be fore the soldiers, and seemed hopeful of gaining their support despite the opposition of the council of soldiers and workmen. The rail workers went on strike, but promised not to tie up the operation of the military railroads, and later were- partly appeased by an offer of Increased wages. The new government is determined to work hard for a universal peace, but shows no Intention of abandon ing Its alliances with the foes of Ger many. It Issued a declaration to that effect orf Wednesday, saying It “will extend Its whole strength in support of the common cause of the allies, to defend the country, to oppose every attempt at the conquest of territory other nations and every attempt to impose the will of others on Russia.” Allies 1 New Drive Jn Flanders. Another sledge hammer blow at the Germans In Belgium was struck on Tuesday by the British and French acting In conjunction. In the midst of a furious rainstorm Haig's men ad vanced on a wide front east and north east of Ypres, capturing Poelcapelle and the Gravenstafel ridge and other elevations that command the generally flat country and ure In valuable as ob servation ground. Crown Prince Blip* precht counter attacked In desperate attempts to regnln these dominating heights, but only south of the Ypres- Itoulers road was he able to push back the British for u slight distance, and that at great cost. At the same time the French on the left Hank of the British line made n most remarkable dush forward across the flooded bog land south of the for est of Houtholst, piercing the Germun Legal Advertisements redeemed her oppressed children from I to „ depth of one and one-quarter their foreign yoke." “ Reasons Many and Plain, The reason, foe. the kaiser’s In creasing moderation in demands are not far to seek. They arc found In the dally dlsputcbes recording the re peated successful thrusts of the allies In Flanders; the advances of the Brit ish In Mesopotamia and Africa; the shortage of German shells;.the grow ing unrest In the nrnled'forces of Ger many, reaching the stage of mutiny In the.fleet; the scarcity of food tn the central nations, and, perhaps most potent of all, the steady. Irresistible progress of tho United States toward full preparation for war to a victori ous conclusion. Then, too, the kaiser sees added to the list of his enemies more of the fust dwindling number of those not hitherto on that roll of honor. Though President Irlgoyen managed to stave off warlike action by-Argentina, Peru and Uruguay last week broke off dip lomatic relations with Gerntany and sent away Its ministers. The European nations that remain ueutrnl are suffering more and more, Uollnud pleads with America for feed especially, with the open threat that If It Is not sent, she will have to slaugh ter at least half her entile and, linv miles and regaining land which the foe had held for three years. While the French gubs sef up a terrific bar rage Are, the engineers rapidly spread great Islands of cork over the water, and erected miles of trestle work and Innumerable bridges, nnd over theso the troops rushed with snch Irresist ible spirit that they swppt everything before them. So swift was the attack that an entire German division which was Just relieving unother at the front wag caught by surprise nnd decimated. The entire ground over which the Brit- Commissioners' Sale.

Minister of Marine von Capelle, in forming the relchstag of the occur rence, accused three Independent so cialist deputies of foreknowledge and upprovul of the plot of the rebels, atpl said the plan of the Inlter was to re fuse to obey orders, paralyze the fleet and forge peace upon the country. The accused deputies dented nuy guilt, but Von Capelle said heliad documentary proof. The fact that Von Capelle did not ask the relchstag to authorize the prosecution of the deputies he mimed leads to tbe suspicion that he was try ing to use the Incident to weaken the Isilttlcnl power of tile Independent so cialists, but the nffatr bud the upper site effect and some of the majority socialists Joined the Independents.
