nevertheless the arbitrament of war being an arbitrament of violence re4a tive power is bound to tell in the re- sulting adjustment.
 Balancing the Scale.
 The equilibrium Of opposing claims: might be secured by balancing unjust acquisition against unjust acquisition: :: or by balancing magnanirnous conces- sion against magnanimous concession. A neutral mediator or mediating group acting in the interest of ciyfli- zation in general and of the future might, without throwing any weight into the scale of one or the other side. help them to find the equilibriurn on the higher rather than on the lower level.
 The settlement of "a war by. out operation-is something that has often occurred, exhibiting that curious mixture of the crassest brute force with the most ambitious idealism which characterizes the conduct of international dealings. The fruits of victory were refused to Russia by the Congress of Berlin in 1873 Europe forbade Japan the spells of her war with China, the results of the Balkan was were largely determined by those who had done none of the fighting
 A peace involving annexation of unwilling peoples could never be a lasting one. The widespread sense of irTttation at all talk of peace at pres ent seems to be due to a feeling that a settlement now would be a settle ment which would leave Belgium if not part of France in German hands. Such a settlement would be as. dis astrous to Germany to any other nation. It might put an end to niIi- tary operations but it certainly would not bring peace if we give any moral content to that much abused word. Europe was not. at peace before Au- gust, 1914, nor Ireland for long be- fore, nor Poland. nor A1sace, nor Fin land. Any community which, if it could, would fight to change it's political status, may be quiet under coercion but it is not at peace.

stratford, Oct. 5.-Stratfordi rang with shouts. cheers and general merry making last night when the news was heraaded broadcast that theePeck ring had been overthrown. ss "a xs
 The strongly intrenched machine which has been dominated by the shrewd and resourceful Judge of pro bate. has been smashed. Withsthe de feat of RoIlin S. Curtis for first select man, William .Stagg for second select man, and Clifford B. Kearney and c. Edwin Dufotr for board of relief and board of assessors respectively, the power Of Judge Peck has been broken
 For many years Judge Peck has ruled Stratford politics with an iron hand. He has not resorted to. the use Of the mailed fist in enforcing his wishes but year after year. by clever alliances with factions of opposition, he has managed to sway the political fortunes of the town at will
 Many. a deal that ultimately has played important roles lin Stratford town politics first was planned in the E probate office in the town hall. and still others were discussed in his Bridgeport law office. And year after failing regularity.
 But. now Judge Peck, while he re- mains judge of probate-for he was not a candidate in yesterdays cleo t1on-haS lost the mag1c charm that his name was wont to carry with the politicians of this old town.
 Undaunted by the defeatsof his tick l et[ Judge Peck today greeted visitors fwtth his usual cheery. sGood morn ing!'ss and he declared that he did not regard the defeat of his candidates yesterday as a personal loss. I'm only waiting to run again for Judge of probate,'s 2 saids he Then I'll show my friends that I'm stronger than ever. .
 That Judge Peck has retained the confidence of Stratford voters to a re- markab1e degree is evident from his reelection to the position of judge of probate last year. Before this election Judge Peek had become involved with the Fairfield County Bar association through his mani nipt1la.tion of the Perry estate. It was charged that he had assessed legal fees against the estate. to the amount of $750, for himself, while he was acting, also, as judge eof probate. He was disbarred as a result of charges brought by the grievance cofnmittee of the bar association.
 But he straightway announced that he wanted vindication at the hands of his asfeI1ow townsrnen and When-f the election time rolled around, he was a candidate for re-e1ections to the place of judge of probate. Though his oppo- nent was strong man in the Demo { cratic party, the judge. by the use of heroic methods, won out by 3. majority of S5.
 This year he was not running for office. His term as judge Of probate wdl not expire until next fall. But Curtis. who has been successiveIy a Republican and a. Progressive, sought his aid. and the judge consented to become his adviser

There is a. widespread feeling that this is not the moment to talk of 8 sEuEopean peace. On the contrary there is reason to believe that the psychological moment is very close mpon lis.
 me question Of peace is ques- htfon of terms. Every country desires peace at the earliest possible moment at which it can be had on terms sat 1sfactory to itself. Peace is possible the moment that each side would ac- cept what the other would grant, but from the international or human point of view a satisfactory peace is possible only vixen these claims and expressions are such as to forward and not to hinder human; progress.
 Two. Kinds of Peace.
 The making of peace involves not only questions of the character of the terms, or demands more or less ex- irene; 1t also involves the question of the principle according to which set dement's are to be made. There tare two conflicting conceptions.
 On the one hand is the assumption that military advantage must be rep resented quid pro quo in the terms so much victory, 50 much correspond- ing advantage in the settlement There is even the commercial conception of war as an investment and the idea that the fighter has a right to. iu- demnity for what he has spent.
 On the other hand it is assured that the war having thrown certain international adjustments into the melting pot, the problem is to create new adjustment such as shalf on the whole be as generally satisfac- tory and contain as much promise of stability as practicable.
 Even in settlemen nt based on such considerations the balance of physical force could not be merely ignored. Gains won By force create no claim that anyone is bound to respect and while the expenditure of blood and treasure give no right to reimburse xaent and it is to the general interest that such expenditure undertaken mere or less on speculation should @eYer prove a good investment,

It was evident, not only from the marked decline of business but by some other signs, that the speculative element was exercising re- straint, partly of an enforced charac- ter. Before midday, however, the market again became active with general improvement in virtually all lar. a.-'
