JEFFERSONVILLE AFFAIRS An injunction pr oc eed i g. i ch was made returnable February 20. yesterday was filed in. the Clark Circuit Court. Jeffe.rson.viUe, by John D.

Craninger against the Board of Commissioners of Clark count, Indiana, and Thomas F. O'Xeit to prevent the carrying out of a contract to improve what is known as the Logan Coombs road. Charlest-wn township. The proiHXsed road is miles in length and to connect at either end with a free pike. The estimated cost, as made by Paris Spurgeon, County Surveyor, is $13,590.

Bids for building the road were opened Tuesday, there being five, Graninger, Jll.8rtl.30; Fisher Cray, Thomas K. O'Xeil, William JM.ss. P. H. TVilke After tho bids were opened action was pns't-poned for sevei-al hours.

County Commissioner Holer Nachand, Dcmoci-at, voted to give the work to Craninger, while County Commissioners K. Kirk, and Marion Martin.

Craninger charges that O'Neal attempted to prevent plaintiff, or other bidders than himself securing tho contract and called up the agent of the London Lancashire Indemnity Company, offering tox pay $r0 if he would not furnish a bond.

The court is asked to perpetually enjoin O'Xeil from proceeding with the work, on the ground he ha.s violated his legal riphts in tendering the agent of the surety company STjO not to furnish a bond. It is asked tha.t the Board oi County Commissioners be perpetually enjoined from recognizing O'Xeil and that it be compelled to accept the bid of Craninger.

4. If the Entente reply to President Wilson's peace note fails to meet his proposal for an early occasion for an avowal of terms, the President will not let the negotiations drop, hut will make at least one more move. This became known definitely today, although it was indicated that no final decision on the nature of the next step had been reached. If n.notner communication is sent it is expected to make more clear the position of the. President, as it is felt that a a result of comment abroad and in the United States and the debate in the Senate, more or less confusion has arisen as to just what he intended.

Hope of Puture Peace. President Wilson's chief hope in the ultimate success of the negotia-tioni Is known to lie. in his suggestion that means lie found for maintaining peace in the- future. If an agreement nn that point can be reached, the President is said to feel It would constitute the "guarantees for the future" demanded by the Entente Allies and it might be possible then to return toward a settlement of the present conflict. It was generally indicated to-day that the President has no present intention of asking Col.

E. M. Mouse to go to Europe on peace mission, col 1-lnuse was uncommunicative almut his visit here and before coming arranged which kept him busy until the time of his departure this afternoon. While the President never has publicly indicated willingness to act as a medium for exchange of terms secretin- between the belligerents, and it is known that he would prefer that it be done publicly, American diplomats and other sources of confidential informa tion have beer, looking mio tnal point. The negotiations were described to- as being ot a hlgniy connaentiai character.

Not Partisan. President Wilson's friends say he is unconcerned over efforts to connect iiis note with the German peace proposals. Peeling that his sole object in sending tiie note was to learn just where each side stands, he is known to believe that in the end the entente Allies as well as the Central powers will realize that his move was not directed against either. Ambassador bnarp, at rarls. caniai to-day he had been notineu the tn-tente reply would be placed in his hands soon, but gave no date, and it was said be sent no forecast of its contents.

Ail officials are silent over tne reports that Ambassador Gerard as result ol bis lalK witn tne mer man Chancellor. Jir. von ueuimanii-Hollweg. probably transmitted a re port on details ot Liermany peaco terms to make them available to tho Entente Allies. They also refuse comment on the statements attribut ed to the former Hungarian Premici, Count Julius Andrassy.

that the En tente could learn Germany peace terms through the President. OFFICIAL TEXT RECETVED. German View That War Must Con tinue Strengthened. Berlin. Jan.

4 (via London). The ofneinl text of the Entente reply to the peace proposals has been finally rectuved by the American embassy by v4t roundabout route of Washington and Copenhagen. It will be presented by Ambassador Gerard to the Foreign office this afternoon. There is no urgency with respect to the presentation, as the- Swiss Minister presented the official text received from Italy cm Tuesday. Sober second thought in official circles cm firms' the impression expressed on the day the press version of the note was received here that the note puts an end for the present to all chances of peace, and Germany and her allies must buckle down to the task of continuing the struggle with all energy.

This undercurrent of opinion is largely supported by the opinion expressed in the neutral press. It is considered hi- some quarters that the reply of the Entente will not entirely close the door to the possibility of peace discussions. Those who hold Mint belief contend that this could le done cither in response to a further invita tion from President Wilson to both sides to state their terms simultaneously' and confidentially, or perhaps through an open declaration their terms by the Central Powers. SOME OPPOSITION. Members of Swiss Council Opposed Note Approval.

Geneva, Jan. I via Paris The Journal Democrat that President ychutthess and former Presidents Motta and be Coppet voted against, the recent Swiss note, supporting President Wilson's com-, munication to the belligerents, in the form that it wan edited and issued, but that they were in the minority in the Federal Council. There is much discussion in the Swiss newspapers of a statement cre liter! lo the Co log Gaze 1 1 concerning neutral nation. "that the Swiss Confederation has tho greatest interest to see peace concluded rapidly, because it is now impossible tn foresee the future fate of the nations which have remained neutral up to the present." The Geneva Tribune sarcastically asks the Cologne Gazette to explnhi the meaning- of "the future fate" of neutrals. The German Minister at Borne in an interview with the Bund is quoted as having said that Switzerland has nothing to fear from Germanv, which country will strictly respect and guard Switzerland's neutrality.

The rumors to the contrary published in Entente newspapers, the Minister added, were without foundation and were circulated to disrupt the traditional friendly relations between the two countries. La Suisse, commenting: on the interview, agrees with the Minister's statement, but asks "what about the neut.ra.lily of Luxemburg- and Belgium Small Eire Loss.
