president Wilson must not be sur
prised if, as far as the allies are con-

state of mind contrary to that at which
he aims. The allies will readily give
the president credit for the best of in
tentions, but they will be justified in
wondering whether, from their point
of view. the note Is not particularly ill
timed and i'll judged.
The presidents assurance that the
recent German overtures had no

it is. to say the least, somewhat NAL
adroit that we should be so appealed to
by the United States at a moment when
the allies are at the height of heir
power and Germany knows her own
apparently favorable position cannot
possibly be maintained.
"On the other hand. there is the pos

directed toward eliciting from Germany
concrete terms of peace which she
withheld in her extraordinary approach

have spent fine summer nights on oper

When Miss katydid does sing. sha
does it by rubbing her wings against

O'Brien, aged 80. whose chief posses.
sions are youth and beauty, was ON
again, off again this week.
According to the family of the
stay off. And that is probably so, be-
cause the Irish lass admitted tearfully
herself "there'll be no wedding, at least
for the present" To which testimony
may be added that of the authorities at
st. PatriclSs Cathedral, who said yes
terday afternoon: The wedding has
been postponed indefinitely"
But that probably won't be the M
or the affair. because there arrived in
town yesterday James S. O'Brien OF
Newport, r. L.. an outstanding brother
OF the bride-who-eXpected-to-be, and
he said he came here for the specific
purpose of showing anybody and
everybody that the family bearing his
good old name was not to be trifled
with.

Neither he nor his sister would say
anything last night about a breach OF
promise suit, but they made it quite
plain that an O'Brien couldn't be led
almost to the altar rail and then dis
missed by a mere phone call, which
nlngs will hear more of this.
The wedding was to have been eel
ebrated Wednesday morning by Card.

Washington. Dec. Outstanding i'm
the background OF the assertions in the
peace appeal of the president and what
Secretary Lansing has said, that con-
ditions for the neutral United States
are becoming intolerable, is the fact
that the administration apprehends
that if the present German peace over
lures fail, the central powers will con-
duct the war with less regard for hu-

tuate. the United States would be in
danger OF a break with Germany, il not
something more grave.
This apprehension. according to good
authority here, partly at least was re-
sponsible for the tone of what the
president and Secretary Lansing have
recently given out. 1t is felt here that
Secretary Lansing. though his Ian
guage may not have been fortunate, in
fact spoke what is in the administra-
tion's. mind as to the danger to the
United States in the wars continuance.
