NE need be no great prophet tn predict that the kaiser will launch a new peaee offer before Chrititmas. Jle will be only following the great and frequently stupid game of inter national diplomacy. It's a game very much like poker. The kaiser discarded the Russian card, so to speak, and drew Italy That he will bluff that he filled his royal flush is a foregone conclusion. What Von Mackensen has done to the Italian forces is noth ing to be very cheerful about. Within less than a week he threw v.. e.. . i ... 1- . 1 . . I. . r. I- .! . his lorces, irenienuousiy ouiuuinoenng me. Italians, inirty miles forward, forced them out of the mountains and onto the plains, where he is Rtill hammering thein. lie has taken Udine, about seventy-five miles northeast of Venice, and has so isolated some units of the Italian army that, according to dispatches from Rome, they had to communicate with the main forces yesterday by usinp carrier pigeons. General Cadorna is preparing to make a stand on the Tagliomento river. Outnumbered and in desperate need of munitions, this southern ally of our will have to fight super latively to halt the invader, and it is exceedingly doubtful if Britain and France can be of material assistance for the present. Before good news comes again from the southern front we will hear of another defeat. And we can be certain that this temporary victory of Teuton arms will be magnified many fold "back home" in Austria and Germany. So, with his grip on Riga, on great parts of Belgium and the Balkans and a small section of Italy quite disregarding the splendid victories of the French and British on the western front and pointing only to his own advantages, the kaiser will very likely say something as preposterous as this: "I am a man of peace; I did not wish this war. The people of the earth are weary of war. Hade strong by my faith in Almighty God, I am ready to lead the way to peace. will be magnanimous; I will withdraw from my conquests." Germany wants one thing above everything else that is peace. But so do the peoples of France and Kngland and Italy, not so desperately, still they are war-weary, and how could they be else! The whole world is weary of this gigantic, stupid, endless wate of men and treasure. And that is exactly the reason the allies will scorn the disengenuoiis advances of the war lord. To grant him peace would be to grant him the open door to new and more terrible conquests. This war must not breed another war. The job of ending it must be done well so well that peace terms cannot be dictated from Potsdam. MUIllMMlH WATER 13 SOUGHT FOR. THAT conservation haR become the watchword of the country is evidenced by the keen search after available water in ibis state. Every running brook and every stream is being pre empted, particularly in the southern portion of the state, where agriculture was at one time deemed a joke and where cattle r.lising was an unproved industry; but where now there are ear. l'ads after carloads of undressed beef and muttons going to the abattoirs, and tin; .potato crop alone is far above the demand of this section. This paper would suggest that there be more nativity evidenced in the development of subterranean flows. The solar engine should prove an economical method of providing power. Gasoline is always available. The hills are covered with 1'u. leu wood, which serves no useful purpose, and it could be used us fuel for developing steam for the boring and pumping processes. Let somebody with an atom of foresight get busy on this proposition and help provide the world with the products of the soil that are so neeessary, whether we are at peace or war. It is .noney as well and as safely invested as though it had been put in Liberty Bonds. KiaikutakakaMM THERE'S A REASON. NE-IIALF billion dollars a vein- is being contributed to Uncle Sam bv the liquor interests under the new war taxes. lie tote October 4th whisky was taxed $1.10 a gallon; today the ta is ifilO more, making $3.20 a gallon. Beer is taxed &1.00 barr.'l instead of $1.50; wine from 10 cents to 25 cents a gallon And besides all that not to speak of the increased cost of labor ootil ng, cooperabe, etc. the distilling of whisky has been pro hibit -d d u riu i! the war. The stock of it in the bonded ware hoiisig w the smallest in many years. .Naturally those who own it are asking full prices. Don't berate the liquor man because he raises his prices. It is rather obvious that he has to, if he wants to stay in business. M ta H M M I) M h LONDON'S RECOGNITION OF SILVER. A 'i-LIM dispatch from London the other day said that there aa the world's greatest silver market, silver has become eurrei.t unit of exchange. The same dispatch told of the jump to !0 5-8. It is not unlikely that London will go further ii establishing silver as a standard money metal. Like this country England has heretofore persistently refused to accept silver as f medium of exchange. It is perhaps too early to definitely guage the significance of her change in attitude, but it is distinctly step in the right direction. 4KaBakaKia GERMAN "DEMOCRACY." '() THOSE optimists who professed to see a tendency to wards democracy and sanity in the kaiser's government, the Mpointment of Count Von Mertling to succeed Miehaelis as chancellor must have been a wholesome shock. Von Ilertling is a junk jr of junkers, a Bavarian aristocrat who believes in the divine right of kings and all the rest of the vicious bunkem of reaction. His appointment is sufficient comment on the sincerity of German officialdom's protestations of new liberalism. I My Aaauelnted 1'rc.a.l LONDON, Nov. 1.

Substitutes for textiles and foodstuffs constitut ed an important feature of the recent autumn fair at Leipzig, Germany, uc cording to the Schleslsche Zeltung. "The foodstuff industry shown at the fair which might be better de scribed as a 'substitutes industry' still is in the development singe," says the paper, "but.it already 1ms given such strong proofs of the justification of its existence that it deserves the greatest encouragement on the part of the authorities. The true value of ;the substitutes for tea. coffee, oil, uiiacco, soup flavorings, meat extracts ami vegetable soups will only .be Realized after the war if the too numerous regulations are nii cir.ded andt good raw material ife available. i "In, the paper section there were exhibited manufactured articles which had attained a surprising de gree of success. To a certain extent it was difficult to distinguish table cloths, napkins, aprons, hat ribbons and even petjicoats, for the manu facture of which paper had been chiefly employed, from similar articles made bf the real material. "The general characteristic of the seventh war fair was the want of goods. This was due to dearth of raw materials and shortage of labor.'' OXFORD HIT BY WAR. (Ilr Aaawlateallprraa.)
