AN INVITATION | Again the taxpayers of Casper are compelled to wade thru mud at the} expense of $12 shoe leather while the cr gs they paid for to keep the pedestrians out of the mud are covered with slime. On some streets, the grader piled even more dirt upon the crossings and the conditions are worse in some parts of the city than if there were no work done. Practically every crossing over the dirt streets and close to the business district in Casper is not fit to be termed by the name today because of the accumulation of mud from the wheeled ‘traffic that passed over them. In some cases the dirt has ac- cumulated until it has dammed up the water to form pools that render the passage of foot traffic impossible except at the expense of a ducking. It was noted recently that the mayor ordered immediate improve- ment of a street in which his automo- bile becamé stalled in the mud. If it were not beneath his dignity to go out for a walk, pedestrians might) | hope for relief. oo Ee OUR PEACE TERMS In view of ever-recurring peace) talk, reviewed by Hertling as a means of quieting internal disorder | and discontent that inevitably follows a defeat of the German. armies, it | is well to bear in mind the main con- ditions on which the United tSates is willing to make peace. Hertling| has said that he agrees to our presi-/ dent’s terms in principle, but he has as yet given no intimation that he agrees with them in fact. Roughly these terms are as follows: Independence and indeminification | of Belgium. Restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to France. Readjustment of Italy’s frontier, taking in “Italia Irredenta,” Evacuation of Roumania, and Montenegro. Evacuation of Russian territory. and abandonment of economic con- trol by Germany. Relinquishment of Turkish control | over non-Turkish populations. | An independent Polish state. Autonomous government for the! different Mee el of Austria- Hungary. A league of naiots to police the world guaranteeing political inde- pendence and territorial integrity to! all states. Freedom of the seas, guaranteed to all nations that obey the law, and} enforced against law-breakers by an | international naval police. Reduction of armaments. Removal of mischevious trade bar- riers. Adjustment of colonial claims ac-| cording to the welfare and Wishes of | the governed populations. | To accomplish these purposes, the | United States is determined to do whatever is necessary. The program probably involves the sweeping away of the present dynasties ruling Ger- many and Austria-Hungary, in order to eliminate two groups of datigerous | inals, and insure their cOuntries’ iescence in the new order. Serbia, | ———0. LOPPING OFF THE LIMBS The smashing allied victories in Macedonia and Palestine bring a new phase of the war. According to some well informed critics, they indicate ‘a policy which is calculated to leave Germany isolated, and which prom- ises early success. It is nothing less than the elimina- tion of Turkey and Bulgaria from the war. This looks like an ambi- tious project, when one remembers the prolonged and costly efforts made with that aim in the past. But the situation is changed. Turkey is reported to be near collapse, thru/ war losses, economic weakness and failing morale. This picture tells a graphic story not only of the two red blooded Yanks who are braving gas and shrapnel to keep their machine gun going, but also of other red blood- ed Americans at home who must form the other half of 2 id com- bination that can send 500 bullets a minute into the Hun ranks. The machine gunner has one of the most perilous jobs in the army, for one man left alive behind one of the deadly Browning or Lewis guns might easily break up a Hun attack. The Boche MUST get him if he can, and woe to the chine gun nest that runs out of ammu- nition in a hot place. It means a few names on the casualty list next day. The combination that keeps the gun going includes the man over here, who goes without a new suit, and buys a $50 Liberty bond in- stead. He keeps the gun firing at its fastest rate for two minutes. That two minutes may mean the turning point between life and death for the gunners. It may mean the annihilation of an ad- vancing Hun formation and the breaking up of a Hun attack. It may mean the clearing of a Boche parapet long enough for an ad- vancing American platoon to take a portion of a new sector of trench one more step toward Berlin. The partner over here whose dollars go to war in this Fourth Liberty Loan is important, indeed. A ringing sound is heard above the rattle of the gun, shrapnel glancing from the steel helmets. The money from a $50 Lib bond goes to war and buys “Car- negie derbies’ for 25 men. The proceeds from a 0 bond equip a whole company. A $50 bond supplies four fighting men with masks that make it possible for these guns to spit death from out of a Hun gas Cloud into the ranks of those who sent it, and last, but not least, $200 in bonds puts one more gun like it on the read into Germany. ee Have Allmetal Weatherstrips in- stalled at once.

The Bulgarian people are sick and |# tired of the war, ill fed and poorly} equipped. The Allies, as everybody knows, are stronger than ever. The time is opportune. All that is, necessary, say the optimists, is to fol- low up the successes of the Allied) armies on those two distant battle fronts, and demoralize the two minor| menibers of the Teutonic alliance be- fore iter settles down. There are still critics, like Colonel, Repington of England, who minimize | the value of such distant operations, | and insist that the war will be won| or lost in France, because victory on the western front means complete | viet everywhere. The ordinary ob r is not so sure. Whatever the strategic facts may | have, it would certainly con- tribute enormously to the moral #trength of the Allies and the despair of Central Europe, if those two limbs. of Greater Germany were lopped off. “Welt-macht oder Untergang”— world-dominion or downfall—has | been the notto of the robber band which rules Germany.

Council heads are instructed to secure the co-operation of architects, contractors, builders and others to meet the issue in a patriotic way and secure the deferment until after the war of building operations of every character not contributing directly or indirectly to the winning of the war, in order to release labor for more im- portant purposes. These non-war building projects include moving picture and other theaters, garages, hotels, clubs, churches, schools, hospitals, factories, warehouses, city improvements, farm buildings, silos, drainage, sewerage, water supplies, home apartment buildings and all other construction work not embraced oe five ex- empted classes. The classes of constructor for) which no special permits are required from the Council of National Defense follow: 1.
