Thinks new YEAR WILL
FIND PEACE UNDER WAY
S. w. Sirius. Chicago, Part
Owner of Oliver Hotel, Re-
turns From Europe.

Peace negotiations between the bel
ligerent powers OF Europe viii be un-
der way by Jan and there will be
little. II any lighting after that date.
according TO ihe opinion OF S. W
Straus. president Of S. w. Straus &
Co. and one OF the owners OF the
oliver hotel here. who has just re-
turned 10 Chicago from the seat Of
war.
Mr.. Straus. as a student Of Euro
pean conditions, spent six months on
the continent prior to the opening Of
hOstilitias. He was in America when
the war broke out. but Immediately
returned TO Europe and visited all Of
the countries now at war excepting
Servia and Russia.
The allies and the Germans are
now engaged in a battle IN the west
ern theater OF war, which could run
on almost indefinitely without de-
cision," declared Mr.. Straus
Unless you have been in Europe
talked with soldiers who have been
in battle, you can have no conception
OF the horror Of the present war. Just
at the moment IL would be impossible
for a peace movement TO gain head
way. But the battle OF the four riv-
ers is going to result in such a loss of
life and the combatants are going to
bruise and batter each other so ter
ribly that by Jan / or before. peace
proposals Will not fall on deaf ears.
COT course, the matter OF peace
will be In the hands OF the United
States and the movement will start in
Washington. The representatives
there OF France. Great Britain and
Germany will signify unofhcially
their willingness for the American
government TO make overtures TO the
nations at war. These diplomatic
presentations will advance step by

embassies at Washington. until they
reach the ruling powers of the nations
at war.
