Beginning To Talk Peace

Again we are reading round OF conjecture regard
ing peace in EurOpe-conjecture, that is to say, re-
gardinR the state Of the public mind in the entente
nations There is no conjecture about the desires OF
the people in the central nations. They emphahcaly
want peace and want 1t but insist that II must
come with the honOrs of which they have earned
And despite the frequent statements of president
Poncare premier Asquith, and now Of foreign
secretary Grey well defined suspicion IS spreading
through the neutral nations that France and England
are almost as anxious for peace as Is Germany Ger
MANY is now mentioned particularly, because peace tas
has been coming out of AusIia-Hungary pretty steadily
for nearly year and Turkey and Bulgaria are reasg
for a settlement at any time.
There are several reasons Why Germany should no"
suggest peace First Germany and Austria Hungary
undoubtedly hold the military advantage matter o.
prime importance in any gathering to discuss terms OF
peace Second the people of the central empires have
lost tremendously in dead and manned for HE They
have been as much siekened by the continual blood
more than either Great Britain Russia. Third, the
euons have long been on slender ratons Fourth the
people are still united and the position Of the govern
ment is strong.
The central empires are now at the apex OF then
military achievements and realize 1t fully. With the
awful toll of death the battle line TO consider on the
one hand and the economic situation TO arouse uneasi
ness OF the other It is but natural Berlin and Vienna
should be sending out feelers for peace Another SIX
months year Of warfare may bring disaster NOW y
the time the Teutons discuss peace with the COP
fidence Of victors.
And the reasons why Germany IS now ready TO talb
peace the very Why the entente allies are
holding off From the point of view OF the statesmen
