THE WAR AT A GLANCE

The terms under which Germany will consider proposals for peace have been definitely stated by the imperial chan cellor. Dr. Von -Hollweg, to the Reichstag.
 Germany, the chancellor declared, does not desire a continuation of the war and is ready to give heed to any initiative for peace that her enemies may make which are compatible with Germany s dignity and safety.
 Germany, however, will not take the initiative in proposing terms because "so long as in the countries of our enem.es the guilt and ignorance of statesmen are entangled with confusion of public opinion it would be folly for Germany to make peace proposals which would not shorten, but would lengthen the war;
 The chancellor described the situation of Germany from the military standpoint as highly satisfactory and her stores of all supplies as sufficient for all needs and declared there was nothing to shat ter Germany's firm confidence in Nti- mate victory.
 Tt would be an insult to try to make us believe that we, strong from victory and standing far out in the eneny's coun- try should be inferior in endurance, &C., tivity and moral power to our enemies, who are still dreaming of victory" he said.
 That neither side of the great war Is disposed to make the first advance for peace also has been indicated in speeches by Count Tisza, the Hungarian premier, and Herbert H. Asquith, the British prime minister.
 When peace shall come, said Count Tisza, depends exclusively upon our en- emies, while Mfr. Asquith told the brit ish Parliament that Eff any proposals of a serious character for general peace are put forward by the enemy govern ments, either directly or through a neu- tral power they would be ignored by the entente allied governments
 No appreciable gains have been made by either of the belligerents on the Aus- tro-Italian front.

CONFIDENCE

A very important matter is to have the full confidence of an employe, and to be able to repose like confidence In him. Dealings with & person one does not trust are rarely desirable and this is partic- ularly true in the relations of employer and employe. When one finds that his employers do not have confidence in him, his usefulness is either impaired OF de stroyed. It is said that when a driver is afraid of horse, the horse knows it. and the driver Is in danger. The same principle applies in dealing with people.
 It may not be amiss here. to allude to precautions with reference to those who serve in fduciary capacities. The first requisite is to investigate each person be- fore employing him. The next is to se- cure an adequate bond The third Is to so safeguard his work as to reduce to a minimum the opportunity for defalca- tiops. The fourth is to have frequent and thorough audits made. Someone has said that the surest method of Keeping d man honest fig to audit his work frequent ly. The writer believes that the great majority of men are honest. in the com mon acceptance of that term, Neverthe- less. in the interest of all concerned every req asonable precaution should be taken.

An employe who watches the clock may hold a position and be valued by his em- ployers. but he cannot get the best re- suits for himself or for them. The writer once knew two persons, who will be called and B. They were probably equally endowed by nature, with little advan- tage, possibly, in favor of the former. A. watching the clock. rarely remained longer than was necessary, while B was willing to do all the work occasion re- quired. They continued with the concern. and the services of each was rated at it's value, in a few years As salary being Increase by 50 per cent while the salary of was doubled The moral is that these employees, and not the manage ment, fixed their status in the business, and the difference in pay, plus consider able promotion, was due, not to a diff ference in ability. but to the attitude of the two persons toward work When ability is the same. questions Of prefer ment and pay must be decided with refer ence to industry and faithfulness. there is no other way to decide them.
 In order to secure from employees, as as a whole, a proper observance of the hours of work and the carrying out of general policy of 8 concern, it is essential to have the active cooperation of a con- siderab ble number of employees. While no specific organiza ton for this purpose may De practlCa Die. 1t Is well to let II De understood among certain persons hold ing responsible places. and who have

Such employees should be especially careful to carry out the policy adopted, and should work long CT hours than the rank and file of the force may be expected to work, Their in- fiuence will be particularly helpful fin in- augurating new plans. and when in other ways it is desired to secure the co-opera- ton Of the entire organization. Needless all other respects. ought to be rewarded. THE VALUE OF EFFORT
 One may be excused for failure to do what he Is incapable of doing. but there can be little palliation for the neglect of duty which only requires effort. An excuse sometimes offered is that one had not time, during business hours. to perform some important task allotted to him, but that is not a reason, if the work could be done at night. Men who succeed beyond a mediocre degree cam not reckon with small difficulties. fnor with hard work. Solomon said: "Hefthat observeth the wind shall not SOW, and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap" Delay also destroys the value of many otherwise good plans; if a thing is worth doing at all, it ought to be done well and promptly. Such labor and personal sacrifice as may be involved are not to be considered and young men especially cannot afford to act on any other principle
