Even allowing for a lapse of forty-eight hours after the United States Government has received the communication, the text of the latter might still be made public by the end of the present week. Meanwhile reports from Switzerland, Hngland and Germany agree that the German Chancellor {s getting ready a now note dealing with the war aims of the Central Powers and the poace terms which they are willing to consider, If the latter reports are well founded, it seems clearer than ever . that Germany doos not mean, and probably from the first has not meant, to let her peace proposals drop or be dashed out of her hand. Whetever the Entente answer to the President turns out to be, the Geran Government can still frame another peace document with concessions enough to claim the attention of noutral nations and hold out further hopes of eventual compromise. Whether Germany has actually plotted out a scheme of progrossive yielding is, of course, im- pessible to say. There are signe which make it seem by no means unlikely. Imperial orations addressed to the German army or the German people need not be taken too literally. Prussianism has itself to think of. Through any series of negotiations that may ensue, remem- ber it is representatives and defenders of Prussianiem who will claim to epesk for the German nation. Between what they eay and what they do may develop subtle differences, Solf-preservation often means studying how to yield without surrendering. “This Wall Street game,” says a plunger who has returned to it, “is & psychological one. hi he fon't @ solid, tangible eafnod.

He is over six feet, and hasn't an ounce of waste flesh; is straight, graceful, springy in his mo- ons, quick as a cat, end has a handsome face and black, dan- Gling batr down to his shoulders, and 1s splendid to look at; and nobody is braver than be is and nobody is stronger than 4 myeelt. x i “Yes, @ person that doubts that he is fine to see should j eee him in the saddle, in bis beaded buckskins, on my back, end his rifle pee tracing @ hostile | traf, with me going like the wind, and his hair streaming out | Dehind from the shelter of his broad slouch. Yes, he is a sight to look at then—and I am part of it myself.” Change the flowing hair to white, and who of this generation asks a better picture of the gallant old figure than the one Mark Twain took down verbatim from the Colonel’s favorite horse? ‘That is the way it stuck and will continue to stick among the treasured mental images of millions of boys and girls, mon and women of America and Europe. No wonder London and Paris lionized him, no wonder Spain, Germany and Italy went wild over him, no wonder Verona gave him the mighty Amphitheatre of Diocletian for his show, no wonder the Pope invited him to the Vatican and blessed him. He was the superb embodiment of virile, out-of-door American Tomance and adventure. He was the ideal hunter, scout, slayer of Tadiane, frontiersman and hero of the border. For years his pic- turesque presence stood alone in recalling to men’s minds the great fighting days between white man and red man. And the horse was right in claiming half the picture. In this country, at least, Buffalo Bill was, romantically speaking, about the iast man on horseback of our time. ——_—-+ —___— i B. R. T. Officials Arrested for Running Cold Care,— j Headline.

MONG interesting motor car developments brought out by the A Automobile Show is the promise of a oar with a dotachable top, the latter so substantial that the owner oan have in the same vehicle all the advantages of a completely inolosed car for winter use and an open touring car in summer. We specially recommend this type of vehicle te the attention of taxicab companies. Several years before the war Berlin taxicab concerns put in operation a large size combination taxicab which in cold weather offered all the comfort of a tightly-closed limousine, pring a few hours’ work on these cars removed the tops and con- verted them into attractive open touring autos, equipped with Hght hoods which could be raised to keep off rain or sun. In warm weather these touring taxis proved immensely popular not only for city use but even more for short excursions to nearby parks and subur- ban resorts. On the approach of winter the tops were replaced and they became closed cabs again. Under New York’s new regime of popular taxicab service, taxicab companies are showing notable enterprise in improving the comfort and convenience of their vehicles. Why not try the combination touring taxi? Hits From Sharp Wits In the late} Evening World Daily Magazine By J. H. Cassel America’s O pportunity Greatest in History But to By James C.
