Never before were a people more weary OF war
than the German people are to-day Of the struggle
with France, distinguished though it has been by
such an unparalleled series Of German successes
On every hand-deep, heartfelt unqualined-is
heard the aspiration for peace.
And yet the way to peace is not clear. The Prus

Paris No doubt it desires to the end OF the war;
but If The army goes home without the satisfaction
OF entering the French capital In triumph 1t will

before Paris can be taken what must be done9 Just
now 1t appears that the Army OF the Loire must be
beaten, and so decsively and Enthusiastically beaten
that it will be removed from the number OF things
that may encourage the hope and the resistance of
Paris. All the German power Is now, therefore, ad-
dressed to this grand object. Before Paris the Ger

things there just they are while Frederick Charles
and the Grand Duke OF Mecklenburg move eau.
