1 it is ready to advertise The summer | campaign, in which marked advantages are most likely, is nearly over, and 8 winter in the trenches will cost on all l sides money and suffering out of all pro- l portion to the advantages that can be | hoped for. It must be remembered, too that the advantages hitherto gained are l not all one one side, but that each has | something to concede. The British annexa- | tions of Egypt and Cyprus may be formal rather than substantial changes, but the | conquest of the German colonies, large
 and small-south West Africa, Togo Land, Samoa, New Pommern, Kaiser {, Wilhelmsland, the Solomon. Caroline and Marshall Islands, to say nothing of Kiau- chau-and probably Russian gains at the expense of Turkey in the near east-give bargaining power to the allies So also, even without success in the Dardanelles does their ability to thwart or forward German enterprise in Asia Minor and Mesopotamia.
 Friends of Finland and of Poland must see to 1t that the debatable lands of the eastern as we'll as the west ern frontier are kept in mind. From the
 point of view of Poland, the main
 thing to be desired is the union of the
 three dismembered parts-Russian, German and Austrian Poland-and their fusion in some sort of a buffer
 state, independent or at least essential ly autonomous. Something like this
 appears to be the purpose of both Ger many and Russia with the difference
 that this Polish state would be in the one case under the Teutonic in the
 other under Russian auspices No one knows which would be the choice as
 between the two of the majority of the Poles concerned Concessions to Ger many in Finland and Poland are at least conceivable and would make the concessions of complete withdrawal in the west easier for her to make.
 Still more important are the conces- sions In regard to naval control of the seas which Great Britain ought to be willing to make if the safety Of her commerce and intercolonial communi- cations can be adequately secured otherwise. and tNis would seem to be the natural counterpart of substantial steps toward disarmament on land.
 But all this Is speculation. The fact, obvious to those who look below the surface. is that every belligerent power is carrying on a war deadly to itself that bankruptcy looms ahead, that in- dustrial revolt threatens, not at the moment but in a none too distant fu- ture, that radical stocks are being ir- reparably depleted.
 Each power would best like peace on its own terms. Our common civ- i1ization would suffer by the imposi- tion of extreme terms by any power Each people would be thankful indeed, to secure an early peace without hu- initiation long way short of it's ex- treme demands.
 There is thus every reason to believe that vigorous initiative by represen- tatives of the neutral powers of the world could at this moment begin a move toward negotiations and lead the way to a settlement which shall be a step toward a nobler and more intelli- gent civilization than we have yet en- joyed.

German Element Is Held in Restraint by Popular
 Opinion
PARTY ADHERENTS
 SEEK TO ENTER WAR
Socialist Leader Thinks There Is a Remote Possibility of Nation Be- coming Involved in the Great
 European Struggle

Stockholm, September 20.-Corre- There is only one combination of cir cumstances kelly to draw Sweden into the war, in the opinion of Hjalmar Granting, leader of Sweden's socialist party, and generally admitted to be the most likely candidate for premier at the next election.
 If the English-Swedish trade nego- tlations fall through" said Granting to the Associated Press correspondent, and at the same time trouble should arise in Finland, the situation pro- duced by these two misfortunes would be alarming. It then would be impos- sible to restrain the pro-German ele- ment of this country from rushing to war This element is numerically small but it is powerful beyond it's numbers. We must not ignore the possibility of such a catastrophe and I cannot help viewing the situation with grave ap prehension.
 q still have hopes that the diff culty with England will be settled sat isfactorily and the possibility that the Germanophile interests in Finland will stir up throubl- there is. I think, a re- mote one. l do not therefore consider this prosp p,et of war particularly threatening at the present time, but it is distinctly within the range of pos abilities.
 Stands for Peace
 You know, of course, that my party in Sweden stands almost unanimously

The attitude of Greece apparently re- mains an unsolved problem. One report says Greece proposes to maintain an att utude of benevolent neutrality toward the allies, unless forced into the con- hict. The German government is re- ported to have lodged protest in Athens against the landing of entente troops on Greek territory. An Athens dispatch says the official news agency of the Greek government, has announced that there is no foundation for rumors that the new Greek cabinet intends to protest against the landing of the allied troops.
 In the western war theatre the allies have not renewed their recent offensive. The latest French official statement says that the Germans attempted a violent at tack against Loos, which was repulsed, the Germans suffering heavy losses. The French claim to have made new progress southeast of Tahure.
 In the east little gain is recorded by either side.
