IT Is wonderful that many individuals

that peace does not come The Pope is for
peace and the Church. Catholic and Protes-
tsnt, prays for IT. The President is for peace
and so are his advisors and those who uphold
his hands. The financial world is for peace
nnlesa, perhaps, those OF this world who prey
on 1T sfortune must be excepted All sorts Of
makers OF things and those who sell them
are for peace. The owners OF ships are for
peace that will restore commerce to the sea
Every ruler in Europe is for peace provided
he can dictate the terms and il is impossible
10 believe that the soldiers in the ranks are
not for peace in face OF what they are getting
out Of war.
In fact, here is spectacle Of the whole
world standing for peace. when q single con

To the Editor or The Times Dispatch:
Sir.--in your editorial. The Slav Pcr" in

fact that at one time Germany and Austria
Hungary had an alliance with Russia weakened
greatly Gcrmany's plea against the Slav peril.
and YOU assert that the Slav menace was then
Just great
As the only alliance those countries ever had
with Russia was from 1914 1915, for the
purpose OF crushing Napoleon. YOU must refer
10 that time. but II was not then considered that
the SaN menace was great "A the peril from
Napolcon. and AN alliance with Russia might
we'll be excused under the circumstances az the
lesser of two evils. II is also true that Bis
lnarck favored at one time alliance with
Eussia, hut the purpose was different from that
OF the alliance which England has now formed
with Russia. bismarck, William H. was
anxious for strong alliance uphold ne
peace of Europe. England allied herself with
iussia FOR the express and sole purpose of
breaking M Gcrmapys shipping and forcic n
trade. which were making too serious inroads
into her own.
Don't YOU think that peace alliance with
Russia would have served the purpose of Cor
many. the purpose OF keeping the Slav peril in
