neutral countries,
“The United States has always,
taken the lead in any movement for
goood that comes out of this war. The |
United States today stands firmly for |
peace—but it must be a real peace, al
peace which will assure to all of the!
peoples of the world that there nev”f
agaln can be another war started|
through the whim of outrageous au-"
tocracies. Therefore, the Prestdent
is carefully weighing his words. I
“Far more depends on this reply |
than most péople realize. There must |
be no ‘made-in-Germany’ peace, of |
course. But the President may be de- |
pended on not to shut the door[
against the lasting peace that must
follow this war.”
Officials also commented on the
apparent effort of the Austro-Hunga
rian leaders to make it appear lhatl
the present peace move was not
forced by military necessity. The
Vienna version that the peace offer
was “the last link of the 1916 policy” !
caused much amusement hare, when‘
it was contrasted with the address of |
Count Tisza at the reform congress
at Budapest, when he boldly declared
that “Bulgaria’'s treachery and the
situation on the western front led us
to decide, together with Germany, to
\undeitake the peace step.” Officials
pointed out that this indicated rather
conclusively that the Austrian lead
\ers are badly divided at the present
time.
All Against Peace.
The one oufstanding feature of the
entire exchange has been the una
nimity with which the entire United
States accepted, from the moment it
was Known that a new peace offer
was coming, the view that it would
be rejected. One year ago, even six
months ago, there was always in evj
dence a healthy minority throughout
| the country who, when peace was
suggested, came to the front with
openly 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 leaders of official life and to the
White House and State Department.
All are couched in the same general
language. They demand that the war
econtinue until Germany's military
power is crushed, and the great ma
jority demand that the fighting con
tinue until Germany shall-surrender
unconditionally.
Many of tire messages received urge
the President to demand a change in
the governments 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
fered 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 Austria-Hungary,
inasmuch as the Sultan’s Government |
is reported to have joined in the peace
overtures

German prisoners, who, under
direction and supervision of the
United States Government, have
been at work for several months
paving the Sandtown road, between
the Campbellton and Cascade
roads, will complete this improve
ment within the next few days, it
was announced Tuesday by Chair
man Wz 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 job.
This 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
80 unsuccessful that the whole force
was “fired” by Chairman Poole.
Announcsment also was made
Tuesday that the county now has
but 307 convicts, and that the
force continues to steadily dwindle.

Farmers While ‘Flu’
The enforeed school vacation of
the Atlanta Boy Scouts will send a
lot of the youngsters into Georgia
cotton fields to relieve the shortage
of farm labor and contribute a
substantial aid in winning the war.
Scout Executive Jameson, after
diso}lssing the matter with the ex
ecitive committee, announced that
the services of the boys would be
available to any farmers who could
arrange to have them returned to
their homes at night.
“It is a matter of supreme im
portance that the Scouts be kept
busy while the schools are closed,”
gaid Colonel F. J. Paxon, chairman
of the executive committee. “This
is exactly in line with the general
policy of the Boy Scout movement,
anyway."
Farmers desiring to enlist the
services of the Scouts may commu
nicate with Mr. Jameson, Ne, 614
