VOLUME ONE BE DETERMINED ON SPRING CAMPAIGN Belligerants Insist on Seeing Re- sults of Big Offensives Now Outlined Before Peace Steps Can Be Taken CAMPAIGN MAPPED OUT Officials in Washington of the Opinion That It May Be the Turni Point In the Manoeuvers For World Peace 3y the United Press WASHINGTON, January 25—Ofi- that the gantic offensive movements planned by the warring belligerants in the spring will prove to be the turning point in the maneuvers for world peace. President Wilson his will not disclose their opinions on the cials here believe a advisers matter but an opinien prevails here that the President himself that another great effort must be made before real peace steps can be taken. Diplomats in Washington agree to this and declare that news from the fronts shows that plans for such a drive are now progressing. w plans for the spring campaign will be completed, according to semi-official advice received a2re It is firmly believed that the En- tente allies will insist on awaiting the outcome of the spring movements be- fore peace will be possible on any scale of reckoning. With the situation at such a pitch it is difficult to initiate comprehensive peace overtures with both sides insist- ing on comsummating their spring plans, the results of which will have probable bearing on peace after the results of the spring campaign are determined.

The chdfus choir is lehrning new songs and is gaining in confidence and strength Mr. Wootton is an excellent leader and his winning manner and pleasant re- marks and pertinent stories gain and hold the good will of the audience.

To- morrow afternoon Mr. Eklund will speak at the library at three o'clock instead of at the church The theme yesterday afternoon was the “Motive of the Soul Winner,” based on John 19:9, “I pray for them, not for the world.” Jesus knew and appreciated the difference among his disciples. If He could make saints out of such material He can out of us. The Christian called® to dizzy heights of privilege and opportunity Christ has no other hands, feet, f or ears than those of his friends. “Ye are my witnesses,” He — said. If Christi fail Him He must fail. Men are and picnics but for The supreme joey of Chr y is in bringing some one else in Christ. The soul winner should be sensitive to the wrid’s need. “Do you suffer when you see the signs of sin? Are you sympatheticwith the sorrows of life? Are you partakers of the agony of Christ over the world’s evil?” Cour- age, assurance, gery faith are needed.

H. C. Spencer Special To The Tribune CHEY E, Wyo., Jan. 25— Scorching motorists, blinding head- lights, road hogs, unregistered auto- mobiles, ete., will be considerably less frequent in Wyoming than at present if House Bill 63, introduced in the legislature by Representative H. 8S, Spencer of Sheridan county, be- comes a law. This bill amends and re-enacts Chapter 95, Session Laws of Wygming, 1913, the amendment features of it being considerably more comprehensive than the re-enactment features, The main points of the present law, which is the law provid- ing for the registration of motor driven vehicles and prescribing regu- lations for the operation of such ve- jhicles, are retained in the Spenceeh bill, but the latter goes much further than the existing law. The present law, for instance, pro- vides that a motor-griven vehicle may not be driven upon a public highway at a speed “greater than is reazon- able.” The. Spencer bill- makes the same provision, but goes a step fur- ther and provides that “a rate of speed in excess of twenty-five miles an hour shall be presumptive evi- dence of driving at a rate of speed which is not careful and prudent,” The present law provides that motor-driven vehicles shall be equipp- ed with adequate lights when operated at night. The Spencer bill makes the same provision, but adds that the Spence, R. K. Scott, C. W.

The business man’s advertisement is his message to the people. He has a right to know whether he is talking to the people of Casper or to the people of some other town.
