Before the tribunal Of humanity and

forced to seek peace.

taching Importance to any spcculations
and calculations emanating in the camp
OF the Allies with regard to the nature

allies have made conditional to making
peace.

willingness for peace by conciliation

The sort Of peace that has the destruc-

Even the most rabid allies OF the Al

The question OF immediate interest is
whether peace will really come from this
overture. The picture presented to the
view of the world should be attentively
studied The Chancellors speech yester-
day gives no dehuite information about
the terms proposed.
The note proves to be equally barren
OF definite proposals. There IL vainglo-
rious boasting of gigantic advantages

In announced to continue to a victorious
end. Beyond that we have nothing but
a request for good offices. The note sent

The most that can he hoped for is that
the Allies may mako use of the opportu-
nifty to propose counter terms. We may
be sure that they would be very different

New York World.

The most important thing about the
German peace proposals Is the fact that
they have been made.
II may be taken for granted that the
terms proposed by the Imperial Chan
cellor will not he accepted by the Allies.
Neither the British nor the French Gov
ernment could consent 10 any terms
which Germany would now make with
out the certainty OF revolution at home.
The sacrifices made by the British and
French peoples have been Zoo appalling
TO admit OF peace improvised in Berlin
to suit German cxigencies until at least
one more desperate effort has been made
to break the military power of the Tcu-
tonic empires.
All that can be reasonably expected
from the German peace proposals at this
time Is general discussion of terms
and the terms cannot he confined to ter
ritorial questions. The vital issue OF
miiitarism Is stiil to be considered. The
war is the product OF that issue. and
until Germany is prepared to consider
the matter OF armaments the Allies will
have a right to assume that what the
Imperial Government nas proposed is
not a peace but n truce.
