MASON SAYS ROAD
T0PEACE IS TESTED
By J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The hard and
intricate road to peace continues to be
tested In the belligerent countries. The
suggestion Of possible negotiations for
ending the war made this week by the
editor Of the London Economist. Is re-
produced by the Berlin Vossische Eel
t,,nR, and meets with no scorn. Com
ments Of a conditionless peace imposed
by a triumphant victory are no longer
heard.
The German government IN the OF
fcial North German Gazette has partly
assisted the tentative peace movement
by denying that Germany is fighting for
supremacy. Sir Edward Grey recently
declared there could be no peace as long
as Germany fought for supremacy and
tribute
Meaning of Supremacy.
Germany denies she Is seeking su-
premacy, and charges England with de-
string supremacy for herself. But.
what is meant by supremacy IL actual
military supremacy in Europe itself. A
power whose chief strength Is on the
set and not on the land can never at
tain military supremacy in the eense
feared by Europe.
Epgland's denial OF supremacy Tor
herself, therefore, Is an assured fact
and since Germany has repudiated a de-
sire for Teutonic supremacy, the first
essential basis for peace has been
reached.
But while the German government has
abandoned the idea Of supremacy, moth.

1t Is not possible to interpret this
declaration in any sense except as an
intimation that the Teutons expect to
levy tribute as the price of peace. But.
on the other hand, It is not difficult for
a government to repudiate the views OF
its minister Of finance and to attribute
them to excess Of professional zeal. To
the present, however. Germany has not
done this.
Not a word has been said by the i'm.

SUNDAYS TEMPLE
Is TO BE ERECTED
Judge Redick Refuses to Enjoin
Building of Big Structure for
Sunday Meetings.
HOLDS IT WITHIN THE LAW

Rev. BILLY" Sunday may come to
Omaha as soon as he is ready.
The big wooden tabernacle may
be built without infringing the fire
limit ordinance.
A temporary injunction to prevent
its construction at Fourteenth and
Capitol avenue has been refused by
District Judge Redick.
In an opinion read from the bench
the Judge declared Mrs. Margaret
Henry, proprietor of the Lord Lister
hospital, had failed to establish a
T. ght to enjoin the construction of
the tabernacle on grounds that 1t
would be fire hazard and a
nuisance.
Judge Redick held that the Billy Sun
day revival will be such a use of the
tabernacle as will be 'for street fair
or carnival or other similar purposes"
within the meaning OF clause OF the
Omaha fire ordinance. Temporary struc-
lures for those purposes are the only
frame buildings allowable within the
fire limits by the laws of the city. which
can not be suspended otherwise for any
particular person or purpose.
Redick's Statement.
Concerning the Issue whether the taber-
nacle is to be used for a carnival, street
fair, or other similar purposes, on
which the case in the main was decided,
