FRUITLESS VOWS OF BOTH
SIDES.
Blackstone Courier.)


While giving but little credence to
the peace talk which has been going
on for sometime, it is very evident
that all the countries engaged would
be glad to make peace. Another
thing very evident is that the Ger
man Emperor will never dictate
peace in Paris, as he said he would
do before Christmas of last year, nor
will the Allies dictate the terms in
Berlin ut any time in the near future.
Nor perhaps ever, as they claimed
they would do some months ago.
Thus far ali the material successes
which have been won, have been on
the side of Germany, but the ques-
ton is, has this winning strengthened
or crippled the central Empires? For
the first year or two of the Civil War
the Confederates won almost contin-
uously, but each time they won, they
became that much weaker, while the
North grew stronger. Is the case
the same with Germany and Austria {?
1t is very evident tina the Allies
are not growing weaker, but stronger,
if anything.

CONTINUOUS RELIGION.
THE Virpinian.)

One of the smartest and most far
reaching utterances we have heard in
some time was the truism by Bishop
John c. Kilgo in his opening sermon
to the North Carolina Methodist con-
ference at Wilmington on Thursday.
The Bishop is quoted as saying that
he did not believe in spells of evan
gelism but II believe in that apos-
tolic zeal that will lay itself out day
after day and night after night in
the interest," Of the salvation of souls;

CABINET MEMBERS
may S|DESTEP BRYAN
Deemed Incredible Here That He
Can Fight President and
Hobnob With Them.

Growing out of the open break be-
tween William J. Bryan and the Presi.
dent on national defense. as made plain
ty the Bryan statement today. the
question arises whether Mr.. Bryan v III
continue In close personal and social
relations with Cabinet members while
warning on the White House legislative
program.
Point is given to the matter by rca-
son of the fact that Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels last night had Mr.. Bryan
as guest OF honor at n dinner at which
all the Cabinet members except Sec
retary Garrison were present.
While the dinner was on the Iresi-
dent was in New York declaring for
pf eparedness and appealing to the ma
ton for adequate defense, and Mr..
Bryan was getting ready to make his
appeal to the country to thwart the
Executive and head of the bills the
President wants passed.
II Is deemed incredible here that Mr..
Bryan can go ahead fighting the Nd
ministration and at the same time hob
mob with Cabinet members.
