erance of Americans. President Will
son has also met universal approval
by his effort to get both sides to CON
slider peace. Whether peace can come
through arbitration or not is a question
open to grave doubts. All effort to
end the civil war by peace conferences
failed III our own country. If both
sides would agree to leave it to a
square contest between twenty, of the
best warships of the allies and twen-
ty OF the best warships of the central
powers in open sea with all crowned
heads on board, and no submarines
or zeppelins allowed, that would settle
the question of naval supremacy, or
who is mistress of the seas. But the
winner might have to be licked by the
same number of vessels from the Unit

whole European war debt.

east, and l came in contact with a
number of them, is that the war can
not be easily settled by arbitration or
peace conferences but will be fought
out to further conclusion That
seems horrible. But it is bigger
war than our civil war was and that
took five years. 1t is not easy to see
the end. 1t is not easy to see that our
country will suffer or easy to see how
we can get into it. At least that is
the opinion of some of the biggest and
brainiest business men in the United
States and their guess is as good as that
of politicians or lecturers.
81 was delighted to return to the
balmier Oregon climate. 1t was 200g
miles of snow and zero weather going
east and the same coming west. One
continuous snowstorm followed us for
three days from Omaha to The Dalles,
and we did not get into the land of
green grass and decent temperatures
until we had passed Hood River where
it melted into gentle mist. There
was heavy travel going and coming.
