Prince. All Germany has begun
to have faint conception Of the
task to which she set herself in
the beginning. She, with her
Austrian ally, cannot conquer all
Europe and although she has
fought them to a standstill she
has been weakened in vastly
greater ratio than her opponents,
and while her people have grown
weary of the war, her mistaken
policy of frightfulness and brutal
ity has awakened in her opponents
a spirit which will be appeased by
no halfway peace measures. Peace
will come to Europe when the AL

that Germany must pay the price.

NOT READY FOR PEACE

Efforts by certain societies in
America to induce the President
to volunteer his services as a
mediator between the warning
countries OF Europe, are, to say
the least. i'll advised. True5Ger-
many has given out tentative out
lines of the terms on which she
might consider peace proposals,
but the Allies have ignored all
such feelers and intimate that
they have not yet begun to fight.
From the beginning of the con-
flict they have been fighting on
the defensive, France, Belgium
and Russia against an invader,
and until these three nations ex-
press a willingness to consider
terms, hopes Of mediation are
vain. Germany is in the position
of the pugilist who having as
sumed the offensive and Knocked
down his opponent is ready to
''call il square. hut the Allies
evidently have a perfectly ration
al desire for some measure Of sat
isfaction and their present atti-
tude would indicate that it is their
intention to stay in the game until
they get that or something else.
Germany wants peace. OF that
there is very little doubt. She is
now at the point where she can
hope to gain but little at the best
and she may lose much. For a
long time she has failed to make
progress on any front. There

normal shortage Of freight equip
ment is indicated by reports Of spe-
cial agents Of the department of
justice and inspectors Of the inter

District Atty. George w. Anderson
said Tuesday. Mr. Anderson, who
Is conducting the federal govern
ment's inquiry into the high cost of
food and other necessaries asks the
cooperation Of railroads in report
ing 20 him all unnecessary deten-
tons Of freight cars.
In letters sent out Tuesday 10 the
New York. New Haven and Hart
ford. Boston and Maine. and Boston
and Albany railroads. Mr.. Anderson
wrote in part:
we find that coal cars have been
kept after reaching the delivery
point from two 10 five times the nor
NAL period for unloading. Such
facts are exceedingly suspicious.
They point TO probable combina-
tons in restraint Of trade, particu-
larly when we find them accOmpan-
led by greatly enhanced prices, out
of which extraordinary profits must
have accrued to some of the persons
apparently responsible for such de-
tention of cars"
Mr.. Anderson suggested that the
railroads should furnish him with
daily lists of cars held unloaded
more than As hours. He concluded:
1T is our view that such coopera-
ton between the railroads and this
department will not only prevent
many violations of the law, which
whereas il might be the duty of the
federal government 10 prosecute but
also TO assist the railroads"
