There is an old saying that beauty is
only skin deep, but that is far from the
truth. Beauty Is founded on good
health-without that there Ia no real
beauty. You can cover up muddy or
sallow complexion with face powder. but
it will not be beautiful. A homely wom-
an in good health is usually more in
teresting and more charming than
bilious dyspeptic beauty. Constipation
and a sluggish liver impair good looks.

Our First cempo.sr.

Americas first composer of any, note
was William Billings, who was born in
Eoston, Oct I. 1876. In his youth he
was d tanner but love for music led
him toibecome a teacher of singing and
a composer of psalm tunes. which
eventually found their way into every
church choir Of New England and be-
came great favorites with the people.
He published no fewer than. six cpl-
lections of tunes. all founded upon the
new school of religious music then
coming into vogue in England. Their
contrast to the dismal old tunes pre-
viously in use naturally gave them an
immense popularity; and in fact they
effected musical revolution in all the
English colonies of America. They
were far from being perfect in melody
and harmony. and would be considered
very crude today, butt the composer
displayed an originality approaching
genius, and had he enjoyed the edu-
cational advantages open to composers
CT today his compositions would doubt
less have possessed a permanent value.

permanent peace would be impossible with
the authors of these acts.
Americans must understand this emo
ton TO understand the war and the condi-
tions Of peace. 1t is equally true that
Russian ravages in East Prussia two
years ago have stirred German passion
1t is true that the mass of the German
people look upon the British blockade with
the same wrath that Britons regard the
Zeppelin and submarine episodes. We may
make our own choice between the two
cases, but what it is essential to recognize
once for all is that the question of peace
or war in Europe to-day is not a question
of provinces or colonies; before all else il
is question of the passions the war has
unclaimed.
We may conclude that both sides have
in their own minds conditions on which
they would make peace. But before we
turn to examine them it is worth while to
examine for a moment that interesting list
of conditions which have already been
eliminated from the reckoning. For it is
true that two years and half of war, and
we are approaching this mark, have re-
moved from the minds of the combatants
certain expectations held at the outset
There has been an end of some illusions
this is plain.
No Liberalization of Germany from Without
In the first place, It may be doubted if
there remains in London or Paris to-day
any considerable remnant of that pro-
gramme for the rescue of the German
people from their rulers and the deliver
ance of the small German states from
Prussia. Two years ago this was a ia
miliar faith. AS the soldiers of the Allied
sovereigns marched against Republican
rance W ItSJOit Nllt DOuiD OilS, iDiiNeiii
and France and Russia, with some degree
Of difference of conviction, set out to free
Germany from the Hohenzollerns and undo
the work of Bismarck.
This notion has persisted. Now it is
perceived that the German people, like the
French a century and a quarter ago, must
decide their own fate, their own inter
nal boundaries and all the questions
that belong ia a great people to decide.
Britons and Frenchmen may dream Of a
liberalization of Germany to come when
the war is over, and to come from within,
but they can no longer hope for any
change made by their hands which could
survive their withdrawal. Two years OF
war have demonstrated the unity of Ger
many; they have eliminated the POSSIBLE
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-10

domination can be attained in this war. On
the Allied side they dispose of any hope or
belief that Germany can be removed as
fact and probably as an enduring danger
in the years that are to come; certainly the
danger can only be removed by German
decision uninhuenced by external pressure
What, then, remains before peace can be
made? If Germany is prepared to evacu-
ate Belgium and Northern France, condi-
tons that even the German will recognize
are necessary antecedents to any settle
ment. what are the remaining obstacles?
The answer is simple. France will under
no circumstances make peace now without
the retrocession Of Alsace-L Lorraine. Rus
STA will not make peace without the return
of all of her occupied territory, without the
restoration of Serbia and without the pos
session of Constantinople. Italy will not
make peace without Trieste, The Trentino
and Dalmatia. Rumana has the guarantee
of all her allies that she shall have
PENNSYLVANIA and Bukovina, where nearly
100000 Rumanans dwell. AS for
Britain, we know that it would not be pos
sible for her, even if she desired it, as she
does not, to persuade Australia to sur
render the German colonies she has taken,
South Africa to retire from the German
provinces she has conquered, her ally
Japan to give up Kiau-chau.
The Conflicting Claims
There is no great value in analyzing
these various claims now; they are of un-
equal value; they will appeal to Americans
differently as American sympathy, knowl-
edge conviction varies in these several
great problems. But the main fact re-
mains that every one of the contestants
on the Allies side to-day prefers to con-
time the war rather than to surrender the
hone which a protraction of the war holds
out for them that they may acquire what
they believe to be theirs by moral right or
necessary to their safety in view of pres
ent or future peril coming from Germany.
And on what terms would Germany and
her allies make peace? We may fairly
dismiss from the reckoning the possibility
that Germany will now claim Belgium or
anv norton of French soil, because such
claims would close the question of peace
altogether. On the other hand, we may be
sure Germany will insist upon the per-
manence of that Polish state she has Gre
ated out of Russian Poland, state to be
under Austro-German protection and TO
serve as a barrier against Russia, buffer
state. not impossibly to be increased by
the addition of Austrian Poland when
Austria has been otherwise remunerated.
Conceivably Germany will also insist upon
the creation of a state Of Lithuania, also
under her protection, but this remains
doubtful. Probably her present pro-
gramme for Eastern expansion would be
fulfilled by the Polish concession.
As for Austria, she might consent to
give the Trentino south of Botzen to Italy,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-10

ity of a remodelling of Germany from
without
As to Austria the case is different, yet
who shall say now that it is as easy to
believe that the dissolution of the ancient
state is inevitable as it was two years
ago when Lemberg was recent event?
The weaknesses that were to be expected
have developed. They have brought defeats
and disasters, but Austria has survived.
The Slavs who fought badly against the
Russians have fought spendidly against
the Italians. The entrance Of Italy, with
her designs upon Dalmatia revealed, en-
listed the Southern Slavs; the coming Of
Rumania, with her aspirations in Transyl-
vania, removed the last question as to
Hungarian perseverance to the end. To-
day Austria Hungary does not look per-
manent in the same sense that Germany
seems substantially indivisible, but much
light chatter about the passing of the
Hapsburgs has become silent, and if
there remains a doubt it is whether Aus
tria and Hungary will pass under the
domination of Germany or Hungary will
assert its control over Austria and Buda
replace Vienna as world capital.
Turkish Vitality
Nor shall we deny to the Turk SINH
lar vitality. After two years his empire
holds despite defeats in Armenia. Con-
stantinople remains impregnable, there is
no outward evidence of internal decay and
German organization has given new force
to Turkish numbers. Turkish troops are
fighting in Galicia and in the Dobrudja,
and the Oriental Express still performs its
appointed journey from Hamburg to Siam
boul from the Elbe to the Golden Horn,
the sign and symbol of that Middle Eu-
rope which German arms have made a
fact.
Looking now on the other side of the
picture, we perceive equally plain German
miscalcuations. Above all, the German
conceptions of France and Great Britain
must strike even the German as ridiculous
to-day. The cardinal doctrine of all Ger
man patriotic faith less than two years
and a half ago was that France was de-
cadent and that she would fall to the first
vigorous blow of virile Germany. Germans
of every rank and condition believed it,
and German military policy was based
upon this belief France was to be abol-
ished as a military power in six weeks,
and now, when nearly five times six months
have passed, France remains unbroken and
the heaviest German defeats have come
