Europe for the purpose OF inspecting

different battle lines. II is but natura
that Mr.. Howard received many inter

American Peace Talk Not
AeeeptAble.
By reason of this state OF affairs II
il only logical that the American talk
Of peace 10 not listened TO kindly BY
any OF the foreign nations. In military
circles OF the allies We are accused OF
being pro-German, and In France and
England our well meant peace proposals
have been Indignantly repudlated.
'Do yon know continued Mr.. How
ard, ",hat certain people here in the
United States have made this country
the laughjngstock Of all Europe. This
eternal chatter about mediation and
other equally futile and premature
things have the effect Of lessening our
chances OF being selected a. mediator AZ
