of subscribers who were readers of
the old Palmer Mountain Prospector,

we have exchanged correspondence
with them SO often, over such long
period, that we feel that we know them

in their well being. Among the number
are the Williamson Bros. successful
business men of New York city, who
have read the two papers mentioned
for upwards of twenty years. They pay
promptly every year, and the remit

of encouragement and cheer. Last week

Had Germany been truly sincere and
honest in its desire to hiring about ne
gotiations for peace the leaders would
have approached the subject in more
conciliatory spirit. Not necessarily
with the humiliating whine of the van
quished, neither with the arrogant and
bombastic dictatorial demands of the
conqueror, but with a straight forward
appeal based upon the grounds of a
humane desire to end the useless
slaughter. No one could justly charge
Germany with fear or weakness had
the proposal taken more pacific tone.
and it would have had far more
favorable effect with the entente
allies. and far greater chance of
reaching an satisfactory understand
ing. However, whatever may como of
the proposition, Germany has played a
very clever political game, for If the
proposals are ignored then the contin-
uation of the war will be charged up
against the allies.
