• The Pacific coast salmon canning industry has passed the half

I in fair position of stability despite recurrent predictions of ultimate extermination. The biggest salmon "pack on record was
in 1913, when there was an output of 8,063,000- cases. Last
year there was a drop to 6,064,-
000 cases, while two years hence

BERNE, Switzerland. — Peace manifestations
have occured not only in Berlin but at Dresden and
Leipzig, according to the (ierman correspondent of
the Tagwacht. The correspondent adds that the conviction prevails among the masses in Germany that

at Ave.   They are continuing their offensive.

Clear the ring for the civic
contestants. Away she goes in
a blaze of glory, with a little
vituperation, slander, verbal encounters galore and petty quarrels, to lend ginger to the affair
and make the game appear natural. Many good aldermanic candidates, and some not so good,
are in the field. The matter merits your best attention. Make
your choice only after weighing
all the evidence as to the qualifications of those who seek to
guide the affairs of this young
city during the coming year. We
are passing through an era of unprecedented depression. So far,
we have done well. It is up to
the voters to see that there is no
change in our attitude towards
civic betterment.

Iii the American civil war, men
like Ford and Bryan were shouting for peace, at one stage, on
the South's terms or on some
compromise. Lincoln paid no
attention to such hollow noise.
Though himself a great pacifist,
he saw no meaning in the word
"peace" if it, meant a peace of
slavery more cruel than war.
"No   living   man,"   he  said,
"loves peace more than 1 do, but
il may be necessary to put the
foot down (irmly.   The only call!
nf humanity now is to conquer'
peace through unrelenting warfare.   War, antl war alone, is the
duty of us all."   That is the way
any man with a spire in him andi
a conscience in him feels now in
this country.
Influential persons, especially!
as the civil war dragged on in |
1864, urged Lincoln to treat.   He'
was ready enough to treat, but
i,nly on his own terms, the terms,
that  had to be met sooner or
later, "the integrity of the whole1
Union and the abandonment of I
lavery."   Mr. Asquith similarly!
lias stated our terms—the end of j
1'i-ussianism and the  union   of |
I imanity in justice and national
freedom.   Then will be peace.
