Winter thunder is considered through
out Europe to be of very i'll omen, but
April thunder is considered to be very
beneficial. In Devonshire and other
cider counties of England there is a
saying that when it thunders in April
you must clean up the barrels"-in
readiness, that is, for plentiful crop
of apples. The French consider April
thunder to be indicative of a good
yield from vineyards and cornfields.

FOR LOVE OF PEACE

Future Security OF Europe Must BE

of Miiitarisn

London Nov. Elm order to as
certain the public opinion on the sub
iect of peace in the leading industrial
centers of Great Britain, your cores
pondent interviewed a number of men
of prominence in these centers,
w. II. Hargreaves. Lord Mayor of
Hull. said:
Concerning the rumors current
abroad that even an inconclusive peace
would be welcome to Great Britain.
my views are as fallows;
Hull is the third port of the Brit
ish Isles AS a consequence OF the
fact that 1t is entered from the North
Sea, ii naturally does n large ship
ping trade with Baltic and North sea-
ports of foreign countries.
british shipping is still sailing the
seas as heretofore. One consequence
Of this is that much information
reaches Hull with reference to the
as regards both combatant and neu-
trail countries, information which does
not appear in the newspapers.
Want No Halfway Victory.
II can say without fear of contra
diction that II would be difficult to
find a man or woman in this district
who wants war stopped before Ger
many is thoroughly beaten. We do
want peace, but not until we have 1t
complete and finally. I consider that
the only safe peace for the British
Empire is one which will come when
the power of the German army Is SO
far destroyed that it no longer will
menace Europe"
Jonathan North, Mayor of Leices-
ter as chairman OF probably the larg-
est business of its kind in the United
Kingdom. in addition to being Mayor,
said;
II have somewhat unique oppor-
tunity Of meeting with different prom
inent and representative men. ! can
not detect the slightest weakening In
regard to the ultimate aims Of this
country in prosecuting the war to a
successful termination. hear in every
direction nothing but the strongest
condemnation of anything suggestive
of an inconclusive peace, the general
opinion being that a patched-up set
Element would be disastrous to the
interests of this country, as well as
to the nations OF the world"
Must Settle Issue.
j. j.. Garvin, editor of the Observer
said.
I'VE, in this country, mean to make
thorough issue OF this struggle, not
because we love war. but because we
hate II. Except among the tnfinitesi-
NAL sect of pacificists there Is not the
remotest thought in this country OF
staying the conflict until the future
security of Europe and civilization
against the renewed danger of German
militarism Is absolutely achieved
There must be complete restitution of
territory, reparation for wrong, and
guarantees that International life shall
he dominated by faith in treaties, and
not by arbitrary force"
