PEACE BEING URGED
EMPEROR WILLIAM HAS HAD
TERMS OF WAR UNDER
CONSIDERATION.
THIS COUNTRY TAKES LEAD
II Germany's Reported Willingness tc
Talk Peace Is Based on Fact the
Worlds War Will Soon Come
To an End.

Washington. William has
had under consideration for several
days, it was learned Sunday, an in.
formal inquiry from the United States
government as to whether Germany
desires to discuss terms of peace with
her foes.
No reply has come, but on it's tenor
depends to some extent whether or not
the informal peace movement inaugu-
rated September 5 can be pursued fur
Their with Great Britain, France and
Russia.
The inquiry was not formal one,
such as President Wilson's original
tender of good offices, but was an eff.
fort of an official character to deter
mine whether Germany's reported
willingness to talk peace was based
on fact.
Await Emperor's Reply.
Notwithstanding the vigorously
phrased statements through official
channels last week that Great Britain,
France and Russia would not make
peace until they had decisively de-
feated Germany, it was admitted in
many quarters that favorable answer
from Emperor William to the Ameri
can governments inquiry may change
the entire aspect of the situation. Such
reply, it was agreed, would set the
machinery for peace-making in mo-
ton, even though hostilities did not
cease. the discussion of peace terms
beginning through the American gov
eminent in the hope that some COM
mon ground might be found for an ac-
ceptance by the belligerents of Pres
ident Wilson's original tender of good
offices looking toward mediation.
President Wilson's Influence Strong.
In this connection some prominent
diplomatists did not hesitate to say
that President Wilson's personal in
fluence in Great Britain and France
as a result of his outspoken and sue
cessful appeal to the American con-
gress to repeal an act which he be-
lieved in contravention to a treaty
would be an important factor for
peace.
No Reply Monday.
Washington. Although no reply
had been received Monday night from
the German government to the inquiry
of the United States concerning the
attitude of the former toward peace
were hopeful that from the informal
effort something tangible might soon
develop.

STRAIGHT THINKING ON WAR
Preparedness for War by the United
States in Several Aspects.

states IN several aspects.
1t is obvious straight thinking is
not assisted by talk of peace insur-
ance" There is no such thing IA
peace insurance. The article is not
in the market 1t cannot be bought.
Arbitration treaties do not bring a
guarantee of peace, as advocates of
preparedness easily establish. Nor
does preparedness guarantee peace.
An international agreement did not
save Belgium from the horrors of
war. Neither did preparedness save
France, or Great Britain. or Russia,
or Germany Speaking generally pre-
pared nations have the more wars.
Switzerland, the earliest of neutraliz-
| ed states has been the most success
full in avoiding war, not having heard
or fired hostile shot for 100 years
| though surrounded by fighting neigh
bors. But while non-bellicosity fur
nishes no insurance against war let
no one insult the general intelligence
| by saying preparedness furnishes
such insurance
Sensible and reasonable action will
also be made more difficult by exag-
| gerated statements of the country
danger. The likelihood of wanton at.
tack would be small though we had
not a ship or a soldier. During our
national history this country has been
party to three wars-against Great
Britain, against Mexico, and against
Spain We precipitated every war
we have had. We have never been
assailed. If an unarmed nation of a
few million was able to have such
immunity il is probable an unarmed
nation of 100,OOO.00O will continue to
be let alone. Speaking practically,
the existence of large military es-
adjustment would probably increase
rather than diminish the likelihood
| of our being party to war. We run
the risk of getting hothead as presi-
dent, and if he had too big an army
| and navy TO play with he might
| play.
Nor will it contribute to sensible
action not to recognize, so far as the
early future is concerned that there
is little, II any. danger. All the ma
tons that could do us harm are ex-
hausting their resources. A war of
aggression against us is almost incon-
! ceivable. Japan is showing herself

she will order no new battleships

A PLUM PUDDING EMPIRE
British Spirit That Enables England
to "Muddle Through.

The fact cannot be gainsaid that
England, who does not begin to be as
logical as Germany or as systematic
as France in matters OF government.
has nevertheless the knack OF max.
ing men step out of their own free
will TO die in he. defense She has
the gift of keeping alive, across tum-
bling seas. round half a world. the un
dying bond that unites the heart to
home She has shown herself indif-
ferent to the possession of the taxing
power over her colonies-but what
matters It? Those colonies willingly
tax themselves to send her warships
and thei- sons seize their rifles in
time of strife to go to her aid. She
has the wisdom so to train and guide
the swarthy children of alien races,
and even the foes of yesteryear. that
they put their living bodies between
England and England's enemies. She
has fearfully muddled theory Of
government. but her practice of gov
eminent lays hold on the deepest
things in the soul OF man.
As we contemplate this wonder of
an empire whose philosophy OF poll
tics is all wrong. but for which the
costliest things within the gift Of man
are poured out without stint. we are
moved to wonder whether this is a
prophecy OF the future. Will the
states OF the coming days make NOSE
OF the spirit and less Of the machine q?
Will they reckless of constitutions
and bills. OF rights and fabrics OF gov
eminent and more of the invisible
things which touch the soul?

The appearance OF a city and the i'm

In order that streets may have the

The point of view Of the average
American toward the streets Is largely
responsible for the bad conditions
which almost invariably prevail. The

He seems TO feel that as only one
