KAISER'S PEACE AMBITIONS
Baltimore American)

With the fatuous indisposition Of
his family never to learn anything
and with a persistent clinging to the
frayed divine rights Ida, Kaiser
Wilhelm, who is credited with respon-
sibility for the war by vast majo.
rity sentiment of the mankind-in
that it is believed he held the key of
war prcvention-and who at best is
under the reserved verdict of history,
is reported from Berlin as being op.
posed to a peace the terms of which
he does not make himself. He is
said to hold peculiar bitterness against
the United States land thereby he
shows his littleness and the passion
and prejudice that goes along with
littlencss. He does not want this
country to be a factor in providing
peace. And this country is not parti-
cularly anxious to play the role except
in behest to the decent sentiment OF
mankind.
The ALLIES certainly will not be led
to the peace trough in halter to the
man to whose lack Of wisdom and
latent ambitions, rather than fell de-
sign, they attribute the unlimited
horrors of war that has afflicted his
own land even more than any other.
The same law that set aside David
from building the temple because he
was bloody man will set aside the
Kaiser, contaminated in the opinion
of considerable part Of the world,
from rebuilding the structure of
peace. If not The United States then
doubtless some other neutral power
or factor will be utilized when the
time for peace shall come.

times longed to disassociate hlmself
from the office and even to rent a
set of false whiskers so that he might
be freed from the attention that MS
official character attracts.
Centuries ago., when Bagdad, no"
in the war zone, was the capital OF
the Moslem Empire, the Caliph Ha-
roun Alrischid chafed under the pen
atty of greatness. According to the
rules of his faith, he was forced tc
wear whiskers, and was driven to
adopt other means of disguise. He
and his grand vizier were won't to APP
pear at night in the Arabian capt.
tai and walk through the streets in
cognito. Some of the most pleasing
of the Thousand and One Nights"
emanated from adventures of the
caliph and his grand vizier.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing might afford themselves, re-
lief by adopting the tactics of the
Commander of the Faithful and his
right bower. There is more to be
seen in Washington during the we
sma' hours than in Bagdad.

1HUMANENESS
OF THE FRENCH.

Between Chnauvoncourt and Les
Paroches, little incident happened
not long ago which shows you a
glimpse of French humaneness.
The French had exploded a mine
under German trench. The effect
was dreadful. After the explosion
four German bodies were lying on
the edge of the huge crater. A fifth
soldier had been buried alive up to
his shoulders. '::iS
This happened in the early hours
of the morning All day and through
out the, following night the French
Eoldiers; as we'll as the comrades OF
the unfortunate man, heard his cries
Of anguish and despair.
What could they do, however? Tic
man was lying twenty yards from
the French, ten yards, from the Ger
man position. The next day his cri:s
were so awful that the soldiers could
not bear listening to them. A French
captain shouted in German to the
buried man:
"Tell your comrades to come out
and pick you up, We will not fire at
them, and if they are still afraid, We
shall come out and rescue you"
Five inmates later, a German ser
geant, unarmed, came out of the Ger
man trench, followed by two soldiers.
They tore their comrade loose Zone
leg was crushed) and carried him
hack into the trench. The French
soldiers had followed the incident
brcathlcssly. Shortly afterwards they
noticed commotion in the German
trench. About 100 German soldiers
had gathered and, swinging their
gray caps, they shouted.
'Merci, comrades! Mcrci." (Thanks
comrades! Thanks.

AFTER THE
WAR is OVER.

In answer to letter suggesting
that the business interests OF the
United States should be preparing
for peace, that is, regulating indus
trialism upon the theory that peace
must come soon, Secretary OF Com
mcrcc Redfeld declares that the re-
lative Importance Of war business is
generally overcstimated. lie doesn't
believed that it represents per cent
of the commercial industry Of the
country and he thinks that the hig
producing plants that have been FL
ing war orders are available for
many forms Of manufacture. He be-
i;evcs that the enlarged plants Will
be great asset in producing peace
goods for export when the war IS
over. The mills that have been rol:i-
ing shrapnel shells and big guns, ran
Just as we'll be turning out p'cw
shares and other kinds of farm ma
chinery.
1t is something more than a rea-
sonable guess that there will be a
phenomenal constructive and recon-
structive activity Immediately fol-
lowing the close of the war. The re-
action from the fury of destruction
is going to be tremendous. The war
will not merely have awakened half
of Europe and Asia out of lethargy,
but one of it's results will be the
breaking up of old conventions and
methods that have operated as hand
leaps to enterprise and progress.
There is going to be an immense re-
adjustment in population dlstrlbu~
ton, which will mean the buii1ing
up of new regions. Instead of SIG
nation it is more likely that ther"
will 6e an increase in manufacturing
ustralism in this country.

FRANkNESS BEFORE PEACE

II is certainly to the discredit Of
none of the warning powers to frank
w express a wish to have ended the
horrible slaughter of human beings
that has made the strife the worst
exhibition of human barbarity that
modern civilization has ever witness
ed. Yet each of them appear to be
fearful of an admission that would
be wholly honorable and creditable.
They all know well enough that Meth
err side is going to win. 1t is case
of wear and not of win. And they
could argue unlimitedly as to which
side has suffered the most from wear
of war and not come to an agree
mcnt. To continue the war simply
to see which can wear the other out
is not to the credit of the intelligence
of any of the governments.
Germany is frank enough to say it
wants peace, But President Polncare
of France says it must ask and not
profrer peace terms. This appears to
be bit stiltcd and affected. England
is represented as wanting to try out
its new million-men army for drive
against the German line. Any such
desire is not crcdtable to the hu
manity of the English government.
There must be frankness before
peace. and is it not time for all the
warning powers frankly to declare
their wish for peace and go about tc
get it?

RUSSIAN MOVE ON BAGDAD.
Swift Advance Toward Mosul Brings
Them Near Germans Cherished
Railway Line

Railway Line
Petrograd, May IT,. The Russian
official statement, announcing that the
advance on Mosul continues, prob
ably wells important news.
The Russian communications arc
generally day or two late in an,
nouncing the actual attainments and
it is considered, not unlikely that the
Bagdad Railway, which runs along
the left bank of the Tigris and has
been for a couple of days within cav
airy ride of the Russian advance, al
ready is cut.
The Russian advance in this dircc,
ton has been swift and silent to-
ward an easy road which leads tc
Mosul, or ancient Nineveh, where the
German Bagdad Railway joins the
Tigris.
z Germany.,has <hu=riedly despatched
' forces, it is believed to the Turkish
centre at Erzingan, to try to stem
the Russian advance. But apparently
these efforts have come too late.

BRYAN AND
HIS PANACEA

', cWilliarn Jennings Bryan has be-
come famous as a specialist in the
invention of plausible and attractive
issues, warranted to cure the nation
and the world OF every i'll to which
civilization is heir, but as a coten-
porary suggests every issue that he
has evolved from his inner conscl-
BUSINESS has been loaded with disaster
for the Democratic party. He began
his career as a prominent figure in
national politics with his wonderful
silver panacca land each time that
he rcappcared as Presidential candl-
date he had wonderful winning is
sue that was sure to hypnotic the
people and to send the Republicans
to the scraphcap. And every time his
sure tip has led the Democratic party
into the miry ditch of humiliation and
defeat. When. therefore, he trium.
phantly produces another unfailins
political recipe for success "a chill
runs down the Democratic spine and
the Republicans opposition begins to
smile with renewed hope and con-
iidcnce. AS dreamer of beautiful
theories that sound well at Chaut-
auqua Mr. Bryan is at the head of
his class of loyal Missionaries; but his
political munitions plant is the most
dangerous from which the Democratic
party could draw its armament. He
manufactures mainly boomerangs
which always hit his friends and help
his enemies.
Mr. Bryan's only hope Of Democra-
sic success lies to Capturing" what
he calls the "pcacc element" in the
Republican, parLy--that is to say
German sympathizcrs with the Cen.
trail Powers, and Irish hatcrS of Eng.
land.
TO adopt a peace plank merely fol
political effect, merely to capture
German and Irish votes, would be ;
piece of false pretense that would re
ccivc it's just punishment. While thu
Democratic convention can very pro
perry record its solicitude for the re
turn Of peace and avow its desire tt
have the United States act as 4 peace
maker, it could adopt no peace planI
that would capture" Gcrman-Repuh
lican votes without an abandonment
Of the whole policy Of this Admins
tration and without the adoption o
ono inconsistent with national homo
and safety.
Mr.. Bryan who expects to act !;
a proxy. after having been defeated !,
a,,delegate, has virtually given nc
tices that he Will offer one of his pa
tent political rostrums at St. Louis
