While the Teutonic armies are win
ming their way in Serbia and are pretty
well holding their own on the eastern
and western fronts, it is significant
that such tentative peace ''feelers" as
get into print emanate from Germany
and not from the entente allies. A
few days ago German Of rank sug-
gested in effect that the entente allies
should realize they are licked and
roll over like good little dogs and wag
their tails for the modification of the
daschhund. They are spiIling blood in
vain. he said. Now comes q news
story to the effect that the German
kaiser is seeking to negotiate sepa-
rate peace with Russia. Meanwhile
the entente allies are keeping silent
in all their several tongues. They
speak only from the cannon's mouth.
There is nothing to gainsay their grim
determination expressed at the outset
of the war to pursue it as one nation
until the Teutons are brought to their
knees. France Is apparently stronger
than ever; beaten back, Russia Is fight
ing grimly; England is disturbed and
anxious but resoIute, and while stilI
weak on land has made such good use
