I'We can say without exaggeration, without illusion and without vain optimism that we now see the end of this terrible war."

The utterance is to be taken of the utmost importance, indicating official cpinion with regard to the result of the.

(battle

of Verdun. "Whether peace is

01 not appreciably nearer, it is unquestionably that the tension in •^'France has relaxed and that men's ^thoughts are turned to the rapid development pf events favorable to the

/fyiles.

J, Reports of developments of imf^^portance in the other war fields are f^Cklng. There appears to be increasing military activity in the Balkans. however. Heavy troop movements In ^Bulgaria are reported from Bucharest, 'w the railroads being exclusively given over to this traffic. In Rumania, pas'/•sr^senger traffic on a line l'rom Bucharest .to the Hungarian frontier, has been tsuspended.

PAINTERS RECEIVE WARNING.

Literature warning the local union painters, paper hangers and decorating men not to come to St. Louis, Mo., was received Friday evening by Percy Head, secretary of the local painters' union. The paper came from Charles J. Lammert, secretary of the Painters' distriot council, at St. Louis.

T. N. Taylor, president of the local painters, said that the probable reason for this warning was that the district wage scale had not yet been signed by the master painters and that if it is not signed by April 1, the date on which it was to go into effect, there probably-would be a strike.

The district council will not accept any clearance cards, as they do not want any visiting painters on their hands at the time of trouble.

OCCUPYING NO CITIES.

WASHINGTON, March 18.—American troops pursuing Villa and his bandits have no intention and no orders to occupy any cities or towns during their march into Mexico.

This was stated at the white house and war department today after the receipt of a report that Gen. Gavira, the Carranza commander at Juarez had given notice that General Pershing's troops would not be allowed to occupy. Casas Grandes or other towns.

{enforcement of, the laws of peace—by forfce If necessary." -1 ".Does not that amount to a belief in full and adequate preparedness?" lie was asked.

"It would not be proper for me to talk about the policy of the war, department. Congress now has the matter of national defense under consideration.

Permission to the LadieB' Guild of the Eighth Avenue Baptist church, to occupy the kindergarten room of the Deming school for an Easter bazaar was refused by the trustees.

Local Contractors Ignored. A committee of three men, representing the builders' exchange, wept before the trustees and demanded that the trustees in the future favor Terre Haute architects and contractors instead of employing out of town men.

The men said the people of Terre Haute would ^rather have seen the contract for the new McLean school go to a Terre Haute contractor, even if his bid was J4.000 more than an out-of-town competitor. "That money you are spending was collected from the pfeople of Terre Haute. Why not put it back into their hands," the trustees were asked.

The school board aJso accepted the plans for the new McLean school and announced that bids would be received Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, on April-17.

tion of- the national guard would accomplish the same purpose. Senate Bill Up'»

The senate military bill, which probably will be taken up for debate Monday, proposed a total peace footing for the army of 194,586 enlisted men, aif8 10,726 officers. The figures are contained in the report on the bill, made public today, which was compiled by the army war college.

The war time strength wojild b& 226,000 enlisted men. The senate -bill would add the following organizations to tKe existing force besides reorganizing the army: Infantry, 34% regiments, cavalry 10 regiments, field artillery 15 regiments, Engineers five regiments, coast artillery 93 companies, mounted engineers two battalions steven aero squadrons.

The house bill proposed to add: Infantry, ten regiments field artillery, six regiments coast artillery, 52 companies engineers, 16 companies four, aero squadrons.

Another difference between the bills is in the minimum strength fixed for the national guard under the proposed federalization' provisions.

The senate bill prbvides for 280,000, while the hbuse bill calls for 426,000 in Ave years.

Third Force Proposed^

The report of the senate bill lays stress on its proposal for a third force to take in men who, for any reason, would, not be found in the ranks of the regulars or the national guard. This Is described as a purely federal volunteer'force and lri effect it is comparable to a continental army.' A total strength of 261,000 in this force is provided for.

The house bill aims at the sams force, through authorization of the training camp movement, which has been In progress for two years.

The full strength of the defensive armies provided under the senate bill, would be 777,000 men in Avar times, exclusive of reserves.

Clark Takes Stand.

Speaker Clark abanidohed the chair and took the floor of the house today to speak for the, administration's army bill. He declared it was as good as could be expected under the clrcumrstances, and predicted it would have the general/ Support oS the' country. Summing up^vhat he believed to be the viexy of the American people on the present suituation, he said "They want peace, but not 'peace at any price.' They Want 'peace with honor,' the sort of peace .that Disraeli—the most tirilliant Englishman sinde Lord Byron—boasted that, he took home with hijn from the congress of Berlin, 'peace with honor.' i "These hard headed Americans believe, profoundly in the philosophy that •*an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.' They are against a war of aggression but they will fly to arms any day in a war for defense. They do not covet tttfeir neighbors' lajids and they do not intend that a foreign foe shall set foot on the sacred sbil of the American republic. "In view of all these facts, beliefs, observations and desires the average American is in favor of reasonable and adequate preparation by land and sea, riot for. the purpose of attacking any nation on earth for he believes with* Thomas Jefferson, in 'Peace, commerce and honest, friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.'"

PAPER AND RAGS AND CHARITY.

NEW YORK, March 18.—Commander Evangeline Booth, of the salvation army, said today that Secretary Redfield's recent, advice that housewives should conserve rags and waste paper *ad -seriously interfered with an important branch of the work of'he,r organization.

tained the American soldiers should be in Vil^, territory before nightfall. Casas Grandes is 25 miles, from the border of the district of Guerrero, the bandit chief s native heath. There has been no reliable report as to the exact whereabouts of Villa, but' it is c?nsidfered fairly certain that he has taken refuge in. the fastnesses, of the Sierra Maares, one of the wildest and most inaccessible regions in all Mexico, The people of Guerrero are said to be fanatical followers of the fugitive and he can rely on them for food, recruits and information as to the. movements of his pursuers. The task of the United States forces will have really begun when they reach the foothills of the Sierras

Mormons Safe.

The arrival of the expeditionary troops in the vicinity of Casas brarides was greeted along the border with a sigh of relief, insofar as the fate of the 500 American Mormons at Colonia Dublan and Colonia Morales is concerned. The soldiers are already south of these settlements and consequently all fears for the »safety of the colonists have been removed.

While the expedition has passed peacefully thus far lAto Mexico and the Carranza officials have shown ©very indication of both their willingness.and ability to avpid friction, the tension, along the Rio Grande has by no means' relaxed. It is felt here that the real test will come when fighting with the Villista bandits /actually starts. The lengthening lines of communication of the Americans, it is pointed out, offer tempting baits for raids by guerrillas.

The refugees who throng the border towns are especially insistent that the first bloodshed will be the signal for serious trouble. However, thus far the border is very peaceful.

Americans Leaving.

WASHINGTON, March 18.—Navy •department reports today from Vera Cruz say about 200 Americans from Mexico City and other interior points have arrived there, most of them acting upon advices from friends and relatives in the United States urging them to leavfe Mexico.

DAYS OF GRACE EXPIRE.

Germany Says Too Lats to Ask for Peace Terms Now. BERLIN, March 17.—(via London, March 18.)—^Germany's enemies by not taking advantage of the announcement of Chancellor von BethmannHollweg, on December 9, that Germany would consider peace proposals whenever her foes are"1 willing to ask terms, have lost the days of grace.

This is the conclusion to be draWn' from a leading article in the semj-bf? ficial Lokal Anzei£er, in which it Is declared flatly the time hail now eomifc to carry out the chancellor's warning of December that the enemies of this, country did not ask for peace in a reasonable period, they would have to pay more dearly for it. The Lokal Anzeiger says: "According? to everything one hears, one must be convinced th£t our responsible statesmen in complete -agre^ ment with the military leaders, .now occupy a different attitude toward the general situation than .they occupied when the chancellor expressed,, our readiness to enter into peace negptla'-, tions under certain conditions. These remarks uttered with a feeling of power and a-certain superiority but. in no manner of weakness, found a fanatical echo among our enemies. "Hence, every one h&s to conclude that the leading men in the ehemy camp lack all vision of the attainable, all understanding of the hard immutable faots which already had developed: and have since that time only accumulated in greater extent. Even then the chancellor left no doubt that in so far as his honorable wish to avoid further senseless blood-letting should prove futile, we were determined to double our energies in order to open the blindest of our enemies' eyes."
