Time May Be Ripe for Starting
Peace Propaganda In Europe

(By J. w. +. Mason, written f,r
the United Prcss) ..
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The pres
sure brought to bear upon the belli-
Gcrent nations to end the war and es-
tablish peace, has now reached its
maximum. Indications today are that
the rebuifs which queted the earlier
suggestions OF peace. are not as ef-
tective as formerly. Despite the open
refusal OF the warning nations to
hcarkcn to proposals of truce, the per-
sistcnt efforts of those who seek peace
are indeed encouraging The first
stage of vague compromise suggcs-
tions, is however, not yet passed. Con-
Trajectory plans for just peace
agreement have been made, but moth
ing really definite has been advanced.
Enormous potential power rests in
the opinions of the neutral nations.
But until some OF these nations not
involved in the war offer some defin-
ite proposal the influences of the
neutral nations are ineffective.
An electrifying effect would no
doubt follow declaration from any
OF the bclligercnts giving terms which
il is prepared to accept to establish
peace. The Teutons are better pre-

pared TO take the first step indsmuch
as 1t is quite improbable that the
Allies could agree in secret as to
reasonable terms. Each of the Allied
nations is unwilling to sacrifice any
interest. The Austro-Germans are
not in such an equivoCal position.
While 1t is true that they too. mus
abandon certain ambitions in the
higher interest of European harmony.
they could better formulate what colt
cessions the enemy must sacrifice in
return. OF course, any extravagant
demand on their part for loot, would
destroy all chances for peace and
would compel all OF the nations 10
fight to finish.
Prince Won Buelof, former German
ambassador at Rome. is reported lc
Lave declared Germany must have a
proud peace The surest way to
keep Europe fighting to the bitter
end is for Germanys officials to make
such statements. However, since Won
Buelow failed IN his attempts to per
suade Italy to keep out of the war.
he is no longer i'll public favor, 81
II is quite probable that he no longer
interprets correctly the spirit OF the
German statesmen.

TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN STUDIED

Our good old earth. which seems to
us so ~unchanging and stable is reall,
in a state OF incessant alteration.
Rains and rivers are constantly Q
ing away the rocks and sweeping the
debris into the ceans In places the
land is sinking beneath the sea, while
elsewhere the ocean floor is rising and
being added to the domains Of the land.
Fortunately for the inhabitants OF
the globe. these changes are taking
place so slowly that the alterations In
level which occur during the lifetime
of a man can usually be detected only
by the most careful measurements.
and the majority OF us are unaware
that they are going on and suffer no
Inconvenience therefrom unless an
earthquake brings the realization tina,
the terra firma" is not so very
stable after all.
Slight as are the changes which
have taken place within the memoir,
of man. the cumulative effect Of these
steady movements continued through
the ages of the past is enormou A,
one time or other nearly every part of
the continent has been beneath the
sea, and many places show evidences
of having undergone repeated oscilla
tons of level. All these incursions
and subsequent recessions Of the sea
have written upon the sands of tins
n plain and permanent record, to de-
cipher which is the problem OF the
geologist.
During those periods when the SEES
lay upon the land fishes sported In
the sunny waters or sought refuge
from their predatory foes within thu
sheltering recesses of the coral reefs
and shellfish innumerable burrowet
into the sand and mud or crawlet
about on the ocean floor. All thes,
multitudinous creatures, on dying, lef'
their bones or empty shells to be
buried within the accommodating mas,
of sediments brought In by the rivers
In short. all the processes Of life an,
death went on In those long-forgottel
ages just as they are taking place 10
day among the teeming population o
the sea.
The drama OF life proceeded unin
