over the wires to us: "One seems to hear already an echo from the American newspapers that Germany shall first evacuate France and Belgium case the U--Boat warfare and place her fate in President Wilson's hands. That would be about the sort of proposal one would make to Negroes or Indians who occupy indefensible positions but whom one tries by fine praises to entice into one's power."
The strongly Germanophile, the Stockholm Dagbad amid a mass of talk about democracy which normally is to it what a red rag is to a bull says: "France now dreams that the enemy soon will be forced to evacuate all the French soil which he still occupies."
Hjalmar Branting, on the contrary, sees straight. He calls this "only Germany's first peace proposal" with the emphasis on the "first." He adds: "Taking up of peace negotations with Chancellor Maximilian's present limitations are obviously unthinkable. As concerns the military stipulations preparatory to the granting of an armistice it seems that besides the evacuation of foreign territory occupied by the Germans one demand is especially reasonable namely, the stoppage of the U--boat warfare."

TELLS GERMANS TO "GO TO HELL"
By JUNIUS B. WOOD.
Des Moines Capital-Chicago News Cable.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT THE FRONT, Oct.12.--It was a battalion of New York troops from the Seventy-seventh division that was surrounded in the Argonne forest and was rescued when it was facing annihilation.
The Germans sent the captured American private to the battalion asking it to surrender.
Lieut. Col. Whittlesey, who in civil life is a New York lawyer, sent back the reply: "Go to hell." The man who brought the message was held until the battalion was rescued.

LARGER PRODUCTION OF SHEEP IS URGED
Increased production of sheep in Iowa is vitally essential in these days of wool shortage the National Sheep and Wool bureau of America declares in a statement just issued. Iowa has not taken rank with the other states of the middle west in wool production. There is a big opportunity along this line the organization heads declare.

FIRST MAN THROUGH.
In Berlin there is a great stone arch of triumph called the Brandenburger Thor. In the middle of it is an archway reserved for the Hohenzollern family; none but royalty may pass through it. Ine of these days there is going to be a fine sight on Unter den Linden. It will be the spectacle of some little Alabama darky, with his army cap cocked down over one eye, a "dobe" cigarette in his mouth and an American Springfield over his should, walking in through the kaiser's reserved archway in the Brandenburger Thor.--Los Angeles Times.
