ENERGY AND LEADERSHIP
BY H. ADDIN6ToN BRUCE

Sunday, magnetic men, leaders of men. Again you
find as outstanding characteristics. energy, abound
ing vitality, and ability to do vast amount OF
work.
And how have these men, how have the
magnetic leaders of all generations energzed them
selves:
They have set themselves certain tasks to &C
complish and they ,have attacked these tasks en-
Enthusiastically. They have not gone at them in any
half-hearted spirit.
Instead, they have been animated by a spiri: %
intense JOY. They have said to themselves Ia
effect:
MY work is the most important and the most
delightful thing in the world. want to do it just
well l possibly can"
And because they have worked in this spirit they
have found it possible not only to work well but to
do an amazing amount of work. Because they have
been enthusiasts they have drawn others to them
and have led others.
If you, in turn, would develop personal magnel-
ism and lead men, follow the example of these
famous ones. Cultivate belief in yourself, and Gull
tfvate intense interest in your work.
If you can't cultivate intense interest in your
work, find some work into which you really
throw yourself with enthusiasm. Only make sure
that it is work suited to YOGI 1atural aptitudes.
You must be an enthusiast you must truly love
your work, to become magnetic sand to become
leader.

Gum chewing, like potato and turkey and to-

from the day when the Mexican Santa Ana, then a

The Peace Proposals.

On second thought, it is not surprising that
Germany and her allies have proposed peace at
this juncture Several times heretofore Berlin has
broadly intimated that negotiations to end the war
would be welcome, but this Is the first explicit
statement to that purpose. Ii comes at a moment
of peculiar prestige for Teutonic arms. The Ru-
manian offensive. undertaken at a low ebb OF Aus
tro-German fortunes, has been carried to swift
REc ginning conclusion. few months ago peace
proposals from the Central Empires would have
struck the world as admission of defeat; but
now they are taken signs of adrorness and
strength.
Germany and her allies can speak now, not as
suppliants. but the conquerors of more than
two hundred thousand square miles of enemy ter
rtory There will hardly be time as far as the
war map is concerned, when they will be in bet
ter position for negotiations; can they be sure
that their present vantage ground will remain I'M
diminished. The Central Powers can we'll afford
TO make peace this juncture if in doing they
keep modicum of their winnings in the
Near East and get back their colonies. They have
gained all the ground they expect to gain, and
more than they desire to keep; thenceforEard, the
war will be all burdens and perils and no opportu-
mites to them.
Until the details of the peace proposals
known their merits and possibilities cannot be dis
cussed except in the most general way. From
present accounts it appears that the Central PoY-
ers are willing to restore Belgium and the occG-
pied portions of France in return for Germany's
captured colonies, and to submit the Balkan stua-
ton to peace conference; further, the territorial
boundaries obtaining before the war would be re-
established with the exception of Poland and Lith-
uania, which would be constituted separate king
doms' Nothing is said of indemnities other
stipulations which Germany insistent.
1t her original plan, official utterances
plainly showed to pay her entire debt with
indemnities like that wrung from France in 1872,
and to dominate if not actually annex Belgium.
Compared with her ambitions of 1914, Germany's
present proposals pattern of frugal content.
1t is evident that she looks to the Balkans for COM
pensation; and it always in the East that she
mainly interested.
The Allies, it may be assumed, are no reader
to entertain peace overtures now than they were d
year ago. unless the terms should be such miracle,
of generosity to satisfy Great Britain in East
Africa, Russia in the Bosporus, France in Aiace-
Lorraine and Italy in the Trentino and Trieste.
Each member of the Entente has its particular
claims and ambitions TO satisfy, and each is bound
to make peace which is not approved by the
others. 1t is hardly supposabe, moreover that the
Allies would accept peace terms which did not guar
anteed Belgium due indemnity for her tragic and
deserved suffering; certainly, they could not do so
honorably unless necessity forced them TO abandon
their cause.
