OF the road that are laid down, both by
custom and by law. Time was when
the mandates of courtesy were enough
without legal experimentation, but
that was before the wide disparity in
the nature of vehicles developed a
class feeling that resulted in such an
alarming crop of hogs and grouches. 1t
was formerly the custom among those
passeiT tlk YNAgs8. Is to greet
6 =. other withEthe kindliest saluta-
tions, even though no formal introduc
ton had ever passed between them,
and it is discouraging to real of petty
animosities growing out of mere vehic-
ular differences. 1t might be a good
idea for both the man in the buggy and
the one in the motor car to take ac-
count of the fact that there is still a
third party whose travelling rights
Fave never been legally abrogated;
namely, the man afoot. Why do they
not reconcile their differences and de-
yelop an actual bond of sympathy by
assuming a sort of big-brother attitude
toward the pedestrian. making it their
first concern to see that he is not de-
MED his constitutional privileges?

THE UNPOPULAR
"ROAD HOG" NOW

The Savannah Morning News says:
The man who tries to hog things
can always be relied upon to excite the
disgust of his fellows who believe in
moderation, and when he comes in
contact with another whose demands
are as swinish as his own, friction is
generated to the blazing point The
human hog who is receiving most at
tention round about Georgia at this
writing is the one, who seems to be-
lieve that he has at least one divine
right, that being the right of way on
the public road under all circumstance.
Sometimes the token of this special en-
dOwment is an automobile, sometimes
it is a buggy. sometimes a wagon. In
any case, the one so favored holds that
his place in the sun is the exact mid
ole of the road The Millen News has
received several complaints from those
who have come in contact with the
road hog" and is led to discourse at
some length on highway etiquette. In
part it says:
The trouble usually is between
someone with an automobile and
the other on buggy or wagon.
Just who is to blame for
tba foaI;,,r. &c hord IN -o1, VIZ ,o4b
er believe that both are to blame
to a certain extent Some of the
youngsters when they get out into
the country seem to think that the
highway is built for their own es-
pecial benefit, and they open up
when they get out on a good piece
of road trying to see how near they
can come to mans buggy or
wagon without doing any real
damage. OF course that is pho
yoking. 1t sometimes causes
mans team to become frightened
and in some cases unmanageable.
On the other hand, there is a man
who, because he has grudge
against some other automobile
owner, refuses to give up an inch
Of the road to any of them. He is
also in the wrong, because
great majority of those who own
automobiles are always very care
full lest they brighten the stock of
their brother who is driving a
team.
There are certain fundamental rules

THE TERMS ~ PEACE.
~


The limitations of basis for peace u the press
when Germanys first peace note becs6e known that
the Teutons would consent to complete restoratl
the boundary lines of the nations as before the war
the establishment of the kingdoms of Poland and Lh
uania, not strong peace signs
Peace talk is in the air and must necessarily mean
greater chances for cessation of hosties than if bat
ties ragged, with of peace Germany and her
allies are ready for peace and United States through
President Wilson has signihed willingness to assist in
bringing the war to a close
What the Entente Allies would demand for peace is an
unknown quantity speculations are interesting. and
among these is outline an article in yesterdays
London Spectator. summary Of the Lodon papers
Articles of Peace" are:
The peace terms are to start from the status quo
before the war, thus including the evacuation of the
whole OF Northern France, Belgium and Luxembourg
and all of the lands taken from Serbia Rumapia
Russia and Montenegro
"Alsace and Lorraine to be restored to France
The Danish section of scheswig- Holsteip is to 90
to Denmark and Posen. Polish Prussia and Austrian
Poland are to be added to the new sub-kingdom of
Poland which the has pledged to create
The Slays of Bosnia Herzegovina, Dalmatia, Croa-
tia, etc. are to be created into new kingdom.
Bohemia to be an independent state
The Rumanan section of Pennsylvania to be add
ed to Rumania
The whole Austrian Tyro plus Trieste. Istria
and other portions of Austria which are Italian in
blood or feeling, to be added to Italy
Turkey to yield Constantinople and the straits
to Russia
The Armenians to be put under Russian tutelage.
THE Arabs to be free while Syria Asia Minor and
Mesopoamia to be under external protection
guaranteeing tranquility
The German colonies to remain in the hands of
the Entente. Moreover money indemnity for the
ruin Germany has done in Belgium. France. Serbia.
Montenegro etc.
AS regards shipping, Germany to make repara-
ton in kind for all ships of commerce DESTROYED.
ton for ton neutral shipping to be replaced only af
ter all demands of the Allies have been satisfied
The German navy to be handed over and dis
tributed among the Entente nations
AS guarantee against future war the Allies are
to insist upon the characterization of the German
government.
THE Kiel canal to be neutralized under an inter
national non-German commission including the En-
tente countries, the United States and other neu
trails"
The suggestions of The Spectator are nothing more thar
series of demands which the Allies would make upor
the Teutons if they victorious. These are tn,
spoils of victory rather than concessions for peace
We think peace will come only when the Entente AL
lies are able to enforce such measures as The Spectator
suggests.
