THE coLoNEL's PEACE MESSAGE. In the current number of the Metro p0litan Magazine ex-President Roose- welt outlines what America's peace terms should be, as follows:
 Let us strive

 For Justice ternational right and International Did they but know
 Rioht. it, the Germa Il
 people themselves would benefit by our victory, and es- pecially the people of south Germany and of Austria, who would be free from the tyranny of Prussia and would be guaranteed in all their rights-sure- ly more than an offset for not being allowed to wrong others. Belgium and France must have all that has been taken from them restored. The Turk must leave Europe. A democratic Rus sia at Constantinople will threaten no one. Armenia should be freed and au- ", but a knot of nationalities, of which two tyrannize over the others. Let the Hungarians keep Magyar Hungary and the Austrians German Austria. Let the Italians have the Trentino and Trieste. Let there be a great Servia, a great Bohemia, a great Roumania. Poland should once more be nation, which should include all the Polish lands, and have an outlet on the Baltic through old Polish Prussia, old West Prussia. East Prussia, which is Ger man, would be unavoidably separated from the other German lands, but it could be kept united with them polit- ically and also commercially by ar engagements for through railway traffic such as we have with Canada as re- gards our international railroads. The Germans would keep Germany, would lose nothing except the right to oppress others, would suffer no injustice. Ire land should have home rule. Seek jus tice for every one-the Dane of north Schleswig; the Finn, the Uniate, the Caucasian in Russia"
 The term "Uniate" refers to Chris tian communities often called United Greeks"-that is, former adherents of oriental churches who separated from the Greek church and united with the Roman Catholic. .

OUR FIRST MILITARY DICTATOR.
 In General Grants Memoirs" pages 122-123, we read:
 In my first interview with MT. Lincoln alone (after Grants elevation to chief com
 t;,oI pI..oI mand) he stated to
 oo" r'@Seo me that he never
 Supreme professed to be a Responsibility and military man or to
 ro"sr m 1ne paigns should be
 Hands or a conducted and never H.II oL:e wanted to interfere
 '' with them, but that procrastination on the part of command CTS and pressure from the people of the Eorth and of congress. tChich tcds dltcaDS Uih him, forced him into issuing his series of military erders-one. two, three, etc. He did not know but they were all wrong and did know that some of them were. iIl he wanted or ever had wanted was some one who would take the responsibility and act and call on him for all the assistance needed, pledging himself to use all the power of the government In rendering such assistance. * He brought out n map of Virginia on which he had evident ly marked every position occupied by the Federal and Confederate armies up to that time (March, 1S6D. He pointed out two streams which empty into the Potomac and suggested that the army CFederaD might be moved on boats and landed be- tween the mouths of these streams. We would then have the Potomac to bring our supplies, and the tributaries would pro- tect our Hanks while We moved out. Il lis tened respectfully, but did not suggo st that the same streams would protect Lee s Hanks while he was shutting (bottling) us up. I did not communicate my plans to the president or did I to the secretary of war or to General Halleck.
 Halleck was then chief of staff of the army. He had been for two years general in chief; but, being a major general, Grants new rank of lieuten- ant general necessitated a change, ana the office of chief of staff was created in order to retain Halleck's services at army headquarters. Here we have ia Grants own words the true inwardneSs and the beginning of the histor.e strong arm phase which gave new impulse to military movements, an i'm pulse which led to success.
 The new phase should have come earlier for the good of the army and the nation, but when one army com mander suggested it early in 1863 Lin coin had said, "You do thus and so, general, and I'll attend to the dicta- torship." A second year of sad and bitter experience followed and then the administration was in a mood to accept Grants terms. These terms gave the general in chief power to reverse the will of the commander in chief unless the president chose to coincide with or remove the subordinate.

That our rela- tions with Latin America are decidedly more propitious is demonstrated by the expressions of approval which, since our declaration of war on Germany, have come from Brazil, Bolivia, Pana- ma, Guatemala and Cuba. .
 "As regards the present moment again, is not a big part of the discon- tent due to the erroneous impression always prevalent just before change in season? Retailers always expect the spring to be unseasonably warm, as they expect the fall to be unseason- ably cold. If they don't sell raft of summer goods in April and May they begin to say the bottom is falling out of everythipg,' altogether forgetting that the current conditions are just about what they were at the core spending date in previous years.

Dictatorship In Price and Supply of Food What the Public Has
 Demanded.

ties should regulate food supply and price as they do pure food and weights and measures. But that means virtual dictatorship. Government is always dictatorial, as witness the United States postal regulations. But the ac- commodation is so great and so cheap that complaints are few. Little by lit tie the masses get accustomed to the presence of government overseers and look upon them rather as benefactors than tyrants. Anyway, stringent rules and harsh enforcement are aimed only at extremists. Good citizens seek to know the law and to obey it. Those who seek to know merely to be able to evade it give the trouble. Legitimate business activities" will soon be ana lyzed and listed and the extortionist singled out and punished. Average citizens will do their best to produce and purvey articles of necessity and utility in the greatest abundance at the lowest possible cost. The hardship in volved to individuals is simply the price of serving the great cause in which the United States has enlisted.
