HERMAN R|DDER
ON PEACE PLAN
New York Editor Thinks Move
by American Press Would
Be Timely.

NEW YORK. Sept. 16.-Saying

makes an earnest plea for peace i'll
his editorial in English in this morn
ing's Staats-Zeitung. He says in
part:
No matter how our sympathies al
feet our judgment, we are united N
a desire for peace. The American
press has a great duty to perform,
and it will be false to the high ideals
of century of earnest effort if it
fails to start the machinery of
great peace movement.
If a cessation of hostilities is 10
come quickly it will require the earn
est cooperation of England. Ger
many never wanted this war. 1t was
forced on her from without. I feel
sure that a peace movement will not
be blocked by Germany.
Britain will find it difficult to resist
a strong appeal for peace incorpor-
ated in a unanimous demand from
the American people. There is
considerable peace party in Britain
today. The workmen and Socialists
viii have heavy influence In urg-
ing such a happy conclusion.
The victories have been fairly even
ly divided. There should be no Sc
we're stumbling block to a peace con-
ference which could settle once and
for all time the underlying causes Of
the war.
If it should become necessary, Ger
many would fight to the last ditch in
defense of the hard-won honor of
her national life. The sacrifices that
this great nation is ready to make
to hold the fruits of its great tri-
umphs of civilization would deluge
Europe in blood for a decade.
If may be permitted a word TO
the American press, | should say,
discard your bias, forget your sym
pathies, overlook your prejudice and
mine, and enter upon the campaign
of peace with the energy, the deter
mination, and the grit so character
istic of America.
Should Germany refuse an honor
able and lasting peace. then and
then only win the time have come to
heap abuse on its ruler and odium

September A. One was letter, 1t is
stated, inflicting punishment for not
replying Immediately to the mobill-

Another paper was a dispatch ad-
dressed to General Won Kluck during
the retreat, advising him that Gen

The report persists that General

Relief of Fort Troyon
May Prevent Frederick's

LONDON, Sept. 16.-Reuter's Paris
correspondent says:

to have an important bearing on the
fate of the German army. The Ger
mans were investing Fort Troyon and
the neighboring forts between Toul
and Verdun with the object of open
ing a way of retreat on their left

that the French are masters of the

IPEDD|E QUINTET IS
IN LINE FOR TITLE
st. Benedicts Only Other
School Five in Class With
HeightstOwners.
SCHOOL ATHLETIC GOSSIP

Peddie Institute appears to be
in line for the State scholastic bas-
ketban championship. The Nights
town quintet has been travelling at
the same rapid clip as last year. and
has defeated every opponent thus far
this season. Lawrenceville was elm
mated from the championship run
ming last Saturday, when Peddie de-
feated the Red and Black five at
Lawrenceville. The defeat was the
first sustained by Lawreneeville this
season.
Fred W. Maroney. in writing for
the official basketball guide, selected
Peddie and st. Benedict's College as
the leading school basketball teams
of the State last winter.
Such situation promises to arise
this winter, as st. Benedict's has had
a most successful season to date. The
Catholic school has yet to loose its
first game, it having beaten the fore
most of the schoolboy fives here
abouts. Should the st. Benedict five
succeed in coming out ahead in the
intraeity games with Central High
School, it is expected that the local
team will arrange a game with the
Hightstown quintet.
The only obstacle appears in the
fact that the Peddie team plays &C
cording TO intercollegiate rules, while
St. Benedict's is governed by the A.
L. L. style.
