The latest account of Spain's sentiments on
the subject of peace-making purports TO come
from the private secretary Of the spanish
Prime Minister, and Is published through the
medium Of lie Petit Bleu," Of Brussels. The
gist of it is that Spain wants peace, that she
would especially like to get II through French
or Austrian mediation and that she Is ready
"to accept any peace proposal submitted, on
1.-THE express condition that II does not emanate
from the enemy"
1t is natural that she should want peace, for
she must realize the hopelessness OF further
conflict with the Power she once despised and
threatened to crush. 1t Is natural that she
should desire the good offices Of either France
or Austria. for the ono is her next neghbor and
chief creditor and the other is Of close dynastc
kin Perhaps the final proviso is natural. too.
But II must be natural TO nothing but the most
purblind pride and ncorrigible infatuation.
For. whatever conditions of peace may or
NAV not be granted, that one assurcdly will
not be- No matter what mediator Spain may
or may not get the peace proposals she must
accept will be those that emanate from the
enemy Let that be unfangly borne in mind.
The United States and no other Power Is NJ war
with Spain. in war OF SPANS OWL seeking;
and the United States and no other Power Will
settle the terms of peace Some other Govern
ment may serve n go-between, 70 facilitate
negotiations but 1t will have no voice In de-
claring terms Of peace. II will merely report
TO Spain the proposals that "emanate from the
enemy" and report back TO the United States
her acceptance or rejection OF them.
1t has been SPANS misfortune to have other
experience and observation. She has had her
own affairs settled by conferences of the
Powers She has seen wars ended and peace
restored by concerted action of the Powers.
over the heads Of the bclligerents. And she
seems to have got the notion that all wars.
with whatever Power, may be settled In that
way. The sooner she gets rid Of that notion
the better for her. 1t Is erroneous and mis-
chievous The Power with which she has now
so madly and so wickedly provoked war is
one that joins no concerts and accepts no dicta-
ton, but fights out It's own quarrels, and at
the end makes its own terms Of peace.

296 to 246 votes. amid intense excitement and
uproar The house was crowded. as were the
public galleries, and all present eagerly dis

that he was engaged in an anti-democratio
policy. but he declared that the accession Of
Socialism to power would spell ruin for France.
Ex-Minister Bourgeois followed taunting NJ.
Meline with being unwilling to cut himself free
from the members Of the Right. and several
members Of the Extreme Left continued their
severe structures on the Premier's "undemo-

NJ Ribot then delivered warm euogy Of the
Premier and proposed a vote OF confidence In
the Government. It's terms elected loud pro-
tests from the members Of the Right and gen.
