Forced to Middle Course.

The Daily News. which warmly in
dorsed the recent letter of the Marquis
of Lansdowne and is regarded as being
tinged with pacifsm, contends that
Germany had to choose between her
extremists and her moderates. as no
peace formula could possibly satisfy
both Count Reventlow and Phillip
Scheidemann.
Nothing could be more i'll advised
it says, than a general denunciation of
the German offer by the press or poll
ticians of the entente alliance, as such
reception is precisely what German
diplomacy is playing for. That does
not mean that the German proposals
can be grasped at as a basis of imme-
diate negotiations-their defects are
self evident
After denouncing the terms as they
would affect Belgium and other mat
ters as being altogether unacceptable,
the Daily News adds:
These deficiencies might seem for a
moment to furnish sufficient ground for
ignoring or summarily dismissing the
German proposals Reasons regarding
that conclusion are shortsighted and
tmpolitic. as already has been sug-
geSt ed.

Meant for Allies at Large.

The Daily Chronicle says it is stfik-
ing fact that the central powers have
accented the formula of no anneXatIons
and no indemnities and continues
THE new peace offensive of the cen
trail powers is meant, not primarily foI
Russia but for the allies at large, aho
especially the United States. Coming at
the same time as threats and warnings
of tremendous German efforts on the
western front, it is no doubt merely the
forerunner of proposals more formal IN
character The terms of the cen
trail powers offer no security whatever
against a recurrence of the war when
ever the original disturbers of the peace
are strong enough to fight again with a
better prospect of victory"

M. M. CORNER.

At recent meeting where but two
member proposed that we adjourn for
the summer. This suggestion did not
meet with favor, however. We often
find it impossible to attend the regular
meetings but we would not wish to
have them discontinue ny any means.
A few will go and carry on the work
and many who can not, and perhaps
have never yet met with us, will be
glad to know that the good work is
still going on, the progress seems
slow. We often see how some chance
meeting opens door 10 opportunity.
This shows how by failing to meet
an appointment, we may miss some
grand accomplishment.
So we say to you. The mothers
meeting will be kept up during the
summer, also the little home Sunday
schools, where the mothers and little
ones cannot go from home. We have
plans also for the girls; younger
girls, and older girls, plans we hope
to carry out, for their diversion, edu-
cation and work, and We hope they
will hold themselves in readiness for
the call when it comes.
'Tis so sweet to live for others,
Sweet to scatter sunshine round.
Blessed to relieve the suffering,
That all round us can be found.
