Neutral diplomats in Washington who
have been observing closely signs of
coming peace and have studied the utter
ances from the chanceliories of the bel
ligerent countries stated yesterday that
the United States has sufficient informa-
ton to warrant 1t in taking definite
step toward ending the European war.
These diplomats agree that Germany
has indicated the basis on which she
would consent 20 a discussion OF peace
terms. and that while some of its phases
are dictated from purely a national rather
than continental policy, the basis pro-
posed is reasonable enough to Justify the
allies in considering an armistice.
The terms Germany offers as a basis
for peace negotiations, according to neu-

ers Doing Well.

Special Correspo1denoe to The Washington Herald
London, May 27.-"Country life in
England will undergo and is undergo
ing a revolution such as England has
not witnessed since the Norman Con-
quest"
In these words Frank Hirst. editor
Of the Economist and one of the lead
ing authorities on economic subjects in
England, summed up one of the most
striking effects OF the war. What he
means is that the country gentlemen of
the old school are disappearing,
, squeezed out by the high taxation. the
| death duties, and killed off in many
instances in the service of their coun-
try. Their places are being taken by
goods that are needed by England's
immense armies, or who are making
tremendous profits out of the necessi-
ties of the people by taking advantage
of the conditions created by the war.
What will happen to the stately
! mansions of England after the war;"
Mr.. Hirst asked. He answered his
question as follows:
I'm individual cases the answer de-
pends on the investments of the own
ers. A man who has invested in Bra
zil or Mexico is in a specially sad way.
! while the man who has put his money
in ships or coal is very fortunate in
deed But on the whole the fate OF the
landed gentry and of the country seats
depends on taxes.
Taxes have already risen high
enough to make 1T certain that most
! large houses will be to let or for sale,
for most country people before the
war had places which fitted their in
come, with a comfortable margin for
savings or special expenditure. Most
of them will have to move into smaller
houses if they can find tenants or pur-
chasers. The doubling and trebling of
the income tax has swept away the
margin. and the higher the flood OF
| taxation rises the fewer country seats
| will remain unsubmerged."

COLOR IN ANIMALS

For summer Towering, ANNALS are
very satisfactory, blooming through
the entire season. while the cost OF
seed packet is but a trifle.
Good taste dictates the system of
planting large punches of single spe-
cies together rather than the old way
of mixing a dozen varieties in as many
square feet.
1t is the same plan that places a
dozen carnations or roses in vase
rather than the Heterogeneous collec-
ton in the old-fashioned bouquet.
Mass your flowers if you would secure
the best effects.
The old ealliopsis. "lady's breastpin

plant, its long, slender stems render

Some handsome forms of single
dahlia may be secured by planting a
packet of the seed in pots early in the
spring and transplanting the young
seedlings to the garden as soon as
danger from frost is over.
The colors of some is very fine and
to one liking the single flowers the
plan is a good one of getting a variety
at small cost
Unless started very early these
seedlings rarely mature tubers that
will keep through the winter, though
they commence towering almost as
soon as the plants are started from
the tubers.

Do not order mixed packets of seed.
1t is a great temptation to do so, but If
fine specimens are expected. the surer
