The one outstanding feature of the
entire exchange has been the una
nimity with which the entire United
Staies accepted, from the moment it
{ was known that a new peace offer
| was coming, the view that it would
ibe rejected. One year ago, even six
i months ago, there was always in evi
| dence a healthy minority throughout
| the country who, when peace was
i suggested, came to the front with
ioponly expressed hopes that a way
out had been found. Today all this
is changed. For 72 hours telegrams
and letters have been pouring in on
the lead rs of official life and to the
White House and State Department.
All are couched in the same gencral
language. They demand that the war
| continue until Germany’'s military
power is crushed, and the great ma-
Jority demand that the fighting con
tinue until Germany shall surrender
1 unconditional'ly,
* Many of the messages received urge
the President to demand a change in
| the govirnments of Germany and
Austria-Hunga y. Others, many of
which reached the Senate and House
leaders, favored complete indemnifi
cations for all peoples who have suf—‘
sered from Germany's ruthless policy
f destruction. Not a single message!
received in official quarters carried
the slightest sentiment in favor of |
accepting the Teutonic suggestions. |
The reply will go to Turkey as well |
as to Germany and Anstria-i{unzury.;
inasmuch as the Sultan’s Government |
is reported to have joined in the peace
overtures

the Campbellton and -Cascade
roads, will complete th's improve
ment within the next few days, it
was announced Tuesday by Chair
man W. M. Poole., of the county
public works committee.
While the actual work of paving
is being done by the Government
through the Germans, the county
has furnished the mat rial, making
the paving a combined Government
county jot
his Likely will be the last work
done by German prisoners on coun
ty roads, for, although those on
the Sandtown road have shown
much improvement over the first
crowd tried out by the county,
Chairman Poole said the county
would not experiment further with
them. The first effort by the coun
ty to work German prisoners proved
s 0 unsuccessful that the whole force
was “fired” by Chairman Poole.
i Announciment also was made
Tuesday that the county now has
but 307 convicts, and that the
