PEACE AND THE KAISER.

Now that Germany has made the
first offer to end the war speculation
is rife in all quarters as TO the real,
underlying cause that prompted the
move
On the face OF things It would seem
that the Kaiser was taking a furtive
squirt in more than one direction.
There IL no doubt that he would be
glad to see the war end; SO would Mel;
and Vic and George and Poincaire.
They would each and all be glad,
very glad indeed. for an excuse to drop
the curtain on the scene OF horror they
fastened on history which has nau.
seated the civilized world, They are
all sick Of the business and all the
world is sick of 1t, too.
So 1t is likely that most any kind Of
excuse not entirely blind, though 1t
might come limping TO the front,
would be looked upon with favor by
the .higher-ups' In the European crime
II is very certain the Kaiser was sin
cere when he laid his sacrifice offering
of bull-con on the altar Of peace. He
hoped it would be accepted but knew
it wouldn't be.
His astute mind was able to foretel
that in casting his bread upon the wat
ers he was forcing an expression from
the enemy by which he would be abl
to gauge with some degree of accurac,
the sentiment of adhesion among
them. And he would at the same tim
create also a situation that would b.
fertile with possibilities. II might cS
pose or create possible dissentiOn;
might be a bait they would first nibbl
and finally swallow. This latter cor
tingency was perhaps uppermost il
the German mind, and such a result /
neither impossible nor improbabl,
Germany lost no lustre by the oyel
ture.
