THE CONDITIONS INSUPERABLE TERMB FOR AN IMMEDIATE AND GENERAL PEACE MADE KNOWN BY CZSRNIN. I From Entente Standpoint—No Annex ations' and No indemnities Accept able But Russis's Allies Must Gusr antee to Fulfill Terms. Terms under which the Teutonic allies will be willing to make "an im mediate and general peace" have been made known to the Russian delegates engaged In the peace pourparlers st Brest-Lltovsk. The terms have been set forth in an addresß by Count Czer nin, the Austro-Hungarlan foreign minister. As in previous Teutonic allied inti mations of what will be required from the Germanic viewpoint to bring about a cessation of hostilities and eventual peace, the latest terms are hedged abont by conditions which seemingly are Insuperable from the standpoint of the United States and the entente allies. The basic principles of the peace terms of the Russian revolutionary masses —no annexations and no in demnltles—Count Czernln said he be lieved could be made the basis' of a general peace, but that the Teutonic allies could not bind themselves to these conditions unless a guarantee were given that Russia's allies would recognize and fulfill them. Notable omissions In the statement of Count Czernln connected with the concrete demands of the United States, Great Britain and Prance, as already made known, are. the ques tions particularly of the rebuilding of Belgium and Serbia, the return of Alsace and Lorraine to Prance and the overthrow of the militarist gov ernment In Germany and the forma* tion in its place of a government that can be believed—the latter demand as set forth by President Wilson in his address to Congress calling for war with Austria-Hungary. Pending the placing of Count Czer nin's proposals before Russia's allies, the Russian delegates to the peace conference have asked for a 10 days' recess In the negotiations at Brest- Lltovsk. MISPLACING OF CARS I CAUBE COAL BHORTAOE v Washington. President Wilson's decision to take over the railroads Will 1 keep the senate coal Inquiry within narrower limits than originally plan ned. Members of the manufactory's committee, investigating both coal and sugar, are disinclined to go into the transportation difficulties, now that they believe improvement is In sight, and in the hearing touched only Railroad shares, especially those under greatest depression in the wide spread decline of recent months .re corded extreme gains of 5 to ten points in tbe representative group, 12 to 18 points in the lee* active divi dend Issues and S to 18 points hi nu merous non-dividend stocks.

It was a warm evening, so Uncle Dan went out to a lawn seat under the spreading branches of the great tree that suggested the farm's nsme of Oak Hill. BUlie and Jlmmie had been lay ing for blm, so Uncle Dan was cap tured by the boys on short order. "Say, Uncle Dan," Blilie began. "We had a red-hot argument at school yes terday with Carl Newman. Carl said that German schools were miles ahead of our schools snd that no one could come up to tbe educated German. Well, J Jlmmie got hot under the collar and handed it back to him good and plenty. Jlmmie Bald if their education taught i them to torpedo Lusltanlas, link hos pital ships, murder hundreds of wom en and children, make slaves of the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit trees snd commit all sorts of crimes, | then we did not want that kind of 1 education here. What do you think ! about It, Uncle DanT I told Jlmmie ' you spent a lot of time in Europe and knew all about schools, so give us your . - opinion." "Well," replied Uncle Dnn, deliber- j ately, "the German schools gtt t#i*r | ' thorough; they furnish exceedingly val uable and practical instruction. The industrial training given there is prob- ' 1 ably the best tobe found. The schools as a whole, hoWever, in my opinion, appeal to tbe head only, and never to the heart The aim and trend Is to make the Individual blindly submis sive to the Prussian plan of world do . minion; they teach that It is the des tiny of Germany to rule the world, and that to the glory and advance of Ger* ' many, In this plan, all things must glvS way; that the kaiser as head of the state, can do no wrong If he carried forward the plan of world controli Some of tbe greatest teachers and preachers even defend and Justify her heartless crushing of Belgians and the many other atrocious crimes she hat committed In this war. Thank God, 1 our American education reaches both the head and the heart. It is an edtf 1 cation with a soul, and we must main tain the high Ideals we have fixed. In ■ a word, in Germany, the people are i taught that they exist for the govern ! ment, while here the government ex -1 ists to serve the people." 1 "Just watt a minute," Interrupted ' Billie. Say that over again slowly, so ' I can write it down." I Uncle Dan, smilingly, compiled. Billie exclaimed: "Now, we will hand that nut out for Carl to crack. Carl, you know," continued Blllls, "has a very emart father who keeiM him posted on the German argument*. Carl said our government was only an experiment anyway; that it would not last twenty years, and that It might burst up any old time. Jlmmie asked him If Germany was so mighty good, why they did not go back there to live." ' "Our government will go on forever, 1 won't it. Uncle Dan?" 1 "Now," said Uncle Dan, "yon are 1 raising a big question, and one that • has troubled me for years. Our gov ! ernment Is still In the experimental ' stage; In fact. It is the greatest er -1 perlment ever undertaken, and if pop ular government is to be successful, a I • few things mast be done, otherwise, to I paraphrase the great Lincoln, the gov- | i ernment of the people, by the people I j and for the people, will perish. It Is • my firm conviction," said Uncle Dan, In a very impressive manner, "that if our country is to go on, as we hope and pray, we must very quickly do | at least three things, and I will natbe , them In the order of Importance as It appears to me: "First, adopt compulsory universal military training of all young men physically fit before they reach the age of twenty years. "Next, require that every foreigner who comes here to live must, within a reasonable time, say a year, declare his intention of becoming an American citizen and take the necessary steps to do so, thereby, from that moment, as suming all the obligations of cltlzefp ship of our country, and that means he must defend our flag upon equal terma with our native born, and if he Is not willing to do this, he should be sent back from whence be came." "That's the stuff," exclaimed Binie. "And, finally, enact such leglslstlon as will make voting compulsory. Pop ular government I* based upon the participation of all and tbe rule of the majority, and democracy cannot continue and be successful unless we live up to tbe spirit of the institu tion. "The first step, however, is tbe pass ing of tbe Chamberlain bill for univer sal military training. If yon will get I the leading dttsen. and especially tbe editor of your paper, to write personal letters to your congressman and both senators, urging their support, ft win help enormously. , "I see by the morning papers," said Uncle Dan, "that the Rotary dobs of tbe entire country, tbe llvest. most effi cient organisation to he found, have unanimously decided to get bach of the Chamberlain bill and give It loyal and enthusiastic support. They will work with tbe Universal Military Training lesgae to accomplish this im portant piece of legislation, which will do more than anything else to make us a real nation with a common view point bring ns back to ssne living, and teach us the patriotism of service."

He who ailds one line or tint of beauty to the city beautiful I* It* friend, while he who through Ig norance, avarice or neglect take* from It one line or tint of beauty is it* en emy. The builder who goes into a residence section of detached house*, with neat lawn* and pretty flower bed* in front and at "the Hide* and there erect* a block of *mnll, cheap houses, standing flush with the build ing line, with no room for grass plota or flowers, cannot be regarded as a friend by those who have good taste and love the beautiful. The owner or tenant of a house with space In front or at the side* for grass plots and flower bed* who neglects to utilise thl* space to make It an adorn ment to the house and the atreet, la an enemy, and so I* he who own* a va cant lot and allow* nothing but weeds, Instead of keeping It green, neat and wholesome. How few there are who do not think of the flower garden n* an unfailing source of pleasure to the eye and cheer to the heart and what precious memo ries linger around hours there spent. In the happy day* of childhood, the romantic episode* of youth, the rest ing periods of middle age, or the di version-seeking time* of elderly ma turity! Yet there are many who do not think of repaying a part of the debt they owe for such pleasures by contributing to the support of the charm of flowers, through the cultiva tion of a few, at least. In their front parkings, or their back yarda in the city. A street with modest and Inexpen sive bouses, neatly kept, tastefully dec orated and painted, with pretty parking*,' beautified by green lawns and blooming flowers, Is much more pleasing to the eye and satisfying to the mind than rows of more ambitious and expensive houses, built close to the sidewalks snd with no strips of gre«yi or brightness of flowers to re lieve the monotony of walls of wood, brick or stone and concrete walks and pavements. TERRACED GARDEN IN CITY Ona Man Shows What Can Be AustM pllshed by the Owners of Slop ing Plots of Qround.

HOME-OWNING AIDS THRIFT Being Tied to On* Place la Mora Pref- Itabls Than Being Foot-Free and Homeless. The owning of * home, s fortune greatly desired by every man, Is achievable by most men. And yet the proportion of American* who live In rented quarter* grows Isrger year by year. One of the prime reason* for thl* lncrea*ing tenancy I* that an Increas ing proportion of earners are em ployees. and being employees they wish to hold themselves free to move a* better employment may offer Itself. To this hope of better employment the hope of * home i* easily sacrificed. The fear of being tied to a home is not uncommon In those who ure not employers, *ny* the Minneapolis Jour nal. Home are not content to settle down permanently, being lured by the enchantment of the beyond—that be yond being the other *lde of the con tinent or the other side of the street. Moving becomes s habit, made easy by those whose business Is tr*aspor tation. Hut In the end the habit Is ex penal ve. As a mstter of everydsy demonstra tion, two facta stand forth: First, being tied to a home is vastly more profitable than being foot-free and homeless; and, second, the home-owner need never be tied to hi* home In an undesirable way. Few inen ever accumulate enough to carry them through life without first being caught snd tied up. Kvery well establlahed business I* a financial hitching po*t.
