 ON THE ENEMY
Republican A. p. Leased wire1


 AMSTERDAM, Dec. S.-A dispatch received here from Budapest con- tains an outline of a speech made by Count Tisza, the Hungarian premier, in the diet on the subject or peace.
 "The conclusion of peace" said Count Tisza. depends exclusively on our enemies. The longer it takes to convince them that further prose cution of the war is nothing but use less and criminal carnage. the great CT will be our victory. The greater the sacrifice which the war entails, the more severe will be the terms of peace for our enemies
 Count Tisza expressed regret that the policy of Rumania seemed to be fluctuating. although he said her natural place was on the side of the central powers. He was unable to deal with the question of Greece, he added, and he was confronted by difficulties which any declaration by his government could only aggra- vate.
 "On the other hand,' Count TIsza continued. we must take such q course as will enable Greece to oc- cupy in time of peace the position which is naturally hers
 Former Premier J. Andrassy, ad- dressing the Hungarian chamber O. deputies dealt mainly with the pos sibility of peace says a Budapest dis patch filed today He expressed con ridence in the ability of Germany and Austria to continue the war until "our adversaries are forced to beg for peace"
 Andrassy added Ut would be a blessing if it were possible to con clude peace before the last moment comesr He also said that it is a humane duty to make peace at the earliest possible moment.

Other 'EadS Than Ours
THEY LOVE FLOWERS

Raymond Swing in an interesting
account of an interview with Mehmed
w., sultan of Turkey, says:
when he is listening his face is
grave, and then as the answer comes
to his lips his features radiate smile
of such goodness and gentleness that
one is Immediately won thereby"
One is won? All of us are won. Won
Hindenburg loves geraniums and
Joffre likes kittens; Kitchener has a
passion for pansies and Nicholas
pensively waters the begonias. We
predicted that when the portrait of
Enver Bey was added to the war cor
respondents collection he would love
waterlillies Enver is still missing,
but Mehmed fills the gap.
1t is but human, we presume, to
expect that when a war lord consents
to expose his personality his first step
in graciousness will be to bounce a
mace off the head of the interviewer
as "salve" and kick him down stair
as vale" War is rude; why should
the lords be polite? The unexpected
discovery that the man of blood and
iron takes tea and smiles, radiating
goodness and gentleness, and is good
to his folks, upsets all calculations.
What Turk is this that did not,
in the course of the interview, have a
couple of-wives sewed up in sacks and
tossed into the Bosporus? A tame
Turk and nothing in our lives. There's
too much horticulture in the world
