No wonder the Eentente Allies re-
sent all suggestions of negotiating
peace, en- the basis Of "the war maps
as proposed in recent interview Ds
Won Bethmann Holweg, German
chancellor. According to war maps
Germany and her allies hold Serbia
ssontenegro, most of Albania, all 0!
Poland. part of Russia, part OF Italy
all of Belgium, and large part, the
chief industrial part of France; vhl!t
all The territory held by the adver-
saries of Germany though large IN
area is undeveloped territory m
Africa the islands of the seas, some
forts in China taken from Germany
and some territory in Asia taken from
Turkey, nothing touching the vital
existence of any one of the countries
affected unless it be Turkey and in
present valuation but a fraction COM
pared with the holdings of Germany
taken from her enemies. The En-
tente Powers must fight to recover
this territory or exhaust ever:s re-
source in trying to recover it. They
could never explain their course sat
isfactorily to themselves if they con-
scnted at this time to lay down their
arms, even if thereby they secured
the surrende.. Of all the territory
taG'en from them; they mus have
something more, or they must con-
tinuc to fight. They are not "hip-
ped; they see no prospect OF being
whipped; they are courageous AID
they mean to stand out to the end
and run the risk of having Germany
cover The whole map rather than
show weakness now.
Belgium and Poland are the prob
lens foremost in the German mind
that thinks of peace.
The German declares that he will
not under any circumstances evacuate
Belgium until he is given sufficient
guarantees that Belgium is not to be-
come vassal state to England, OF
IN active or passive ally of England.
He also declares that he will never
give up Poland until it is made sure
that Poland is absolutely independent
Or governed in some manner by Ger
many or Austria to insure it's position
as an effective buffer state between
Germany and Russia.
iss1;sia, the Gc"man believes, is di.
] Getty responsible for war which Wa.
indirectly brought about by England's
passive acquiescence in what Russia
was doing. Also the German affirm
he does not propose to longer serve
himself as buffer between Englan ]
and Russia.
Of course there are other peace;
problems besides Belgium and Poland
but about the rest the German knows
he cannot have the last word. In tire
Balkans, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey are more directly affected
than Germany, and they will not COR
sent to sit quietly by and leave the
Dnlkans to be bargained for by Eng
land and Germany.

DOVE OF PEACE
NOT In THE OFFlNG

The. fearful battle between ships OF
the greatest navies Of the world
which was fought few days ago IN
the North Sea in which some of the
largest and most powerful men-of-war
ever constructed were destroyed is
horrifying the world. Not since the
engagement off Cape Trafalgar, when
Nelson was killed, has the English
people been so distressed. Great
Britain won that battle, but at ter
rible cost. The remains Of the intrepid
Nelson, lay stiff and stark in death:
the realization Of which cast ter
rible gloom, no matter how many OF
the enemy's ships had struck their
colors.
This great engagement in the
North sea will go down in his
tory side by side with the destruc-
ton of the Spanish Armada, the an
initiation of the Spanish fleet at
Manila and that at Santiago. There
was some tangible advantage realiz-
ed from these great sea tragedies,
but in the last clash about nine thou
sand men have persisted and probably
twenty German and British vessels
sunk without adding advantage to
either side in this great war. Great
Britain is still ruling the waves and
Germany's navy is where it was at
the beginning, in hiding. The battle
has made both belligerents more de-
termined than ever and the sickly
CLEANS of probable peace recently
discerned have passed away as a
dream in the night.
We shall have to have more facts
before we can Judge accurately as tc
the result of this latest great naval
battle. That both sides suffered heavl-
" is evident. That the Germans show
ed themselves worthy to- be c'assed
with the British as sea fighters IS ap-
parent. But whether the battle is tc
be classed assuredly as defeat fol-
the British or the Germans does moi
appear at present. The former seem
certain to have suffered the most.
On the other hand, the return OF the
German fleet to its base might md
cate that it is in no condition for al
Immediate further offensive.
The location of the conflict suggests
that the Germans chose the battle
ground. with consequent advantage:

SHAKES Drunkenness a Crime

The legislature of South Carolina
has passed law making it misde-
meanor to get drunk in this state, and
anyone being drunk on public high
way of the state will be subject to a
fine. We think this is a very poor law.
Drunkenness will never be decreased
by any such law. and it will benefit no
one, but work hardships on many.
In the first place, habitual drunken
ness is disease and it would be just as
sensible to pass law prohibiting in
sanity, epilepsy and paralysis as one
prohibiting drunkenness.
And who is to be the Judge as to
when man is drunk? Shall a man be
considered not drunk until he is in the
gutter and unable to rise, or shall the
legislature create another "board" to
decide this question. or shall the arrest
ing officer be the Judge? Reader, when
do you consider man drunk? Ask
several Of your neighbors this question
and you will readily see how different
the views are. Then who is to say
whether or not a man is guilty under
this law?
Then the money collected under this
law will entirely come from the poorer
l.,
