PEACE ARTICLES BANNED
Articles in Frankfurter Zeitung Il
Which Censor Objected.

1t is not quite clear why the Ger
man censor banned, beginning June
%, political articles in the Frank
furter Zeitung. The embargo, which
is understood to have been already
raised, was imposed, as the Reich
stager Won Payer explained, on ac-
count of series of articles by Pro-
lessor Max Weber, of Heidelberg.
The Frankfurter's articles are IN
signed, but the following are some
recent extracts to which the censor
conceivably took exception. In one
an editorial writer said:
PRUSSIA wants peace without an
nexations OF indemnities. Germany
is willing to conclude peace on that
basis with Russia. Such peace
automatically would result in gen.
eral peace. Thus the idea of a sepa-
rate peace if examined more closely
vanishes more and more under pres
sure of necessity which must make
it a part of, or an Introductory to a
general peace
Another article was devoted /" the
German Socialists peace memorial
including these assertions:
"Desire for peace-stronger here,
less strong e,Sewhere-is .unmlstak-
able. It can only be satisfied by
peace becoming an accomplished TACT

Petrograd, Aug. 20.-Ihere was
every Indication today that the Rus-
sian troops that are now making a
new stand on the Galician frontier,
across the Zbrucfi river, maintain all
tie positions on the lower part OF the
river. They have pressed forward
tehi rattacks, entering villages on the
western side of. the river that had
been held by the Germans.
To the west of this district the Rus
slams have seized line of hills giving
them firm grip upon the region
bordering the Dnies.er. Thus o.
danger OF new offensive by the Ger
mans by the way of Khotine, in the
direction Of kamenet-Podolsk. Is
greatly diminished
North Of Tarnopoi, in the sector OF
Brody, and in the direction OF Vlad-
imir-Volynsky (Volhynia) the Rus
slams are tenaciously clinging to
their positions, obstructing every Ell

pRuSSIAN "KULTUR."

The following letter, written by

intendent of Architecture, shows the
result of the education given the
present generation in the Father

You are in a country rendered e.
Terminate by the influence Of old-taSn-
toned ideas Of liberty, a country
which is at least two centuries De-
hind ours. You arc in need of good
dose Of Prussian culture.
1t is evident that you, Swiss girl,
with your French sympathies, can
not understand how my heart, the
heart of young German girl, pas
sionately desired this war Speak

getting too small for rs; We shall
have to go to France again IN oraeF
IN find more room" Is it our fault
If France will not understand thai
more money and land are necessary
for us?
And YOU reprcach us that our sol
dicrs have been very cruel to the
Belgian rabb;e, and you speak also
of the destruction of Rheims and of
the burning of villages and towns.
Well, that is war. As in every other
undertaking, we are past masters in
the making of war. You have :.
great deal to learn before you can
come IN 10 our standard, and car
assure YOU that what has been done
so far is a mere bagatelle compared
with what will follow.
AS matter Of fact. there is but
one race worthy Of ruling the weird,

race is ours, the Prussians; Tor

THE PRESENT PEACE WAVE

While all the belligerenss are pos
inp in a defiant attitude persua!
of yesterdays papers should nave
convinced any one that the recent
nrnnosals of Pope Benedict looking
n paving a way upon which peace
terms may be considered will not be
treated lightly. The pontltf's sus-
,rastions have sent g pacific wave
around the globe-there is no doubt
Of stand there are many straWS
sailing through the air which snow
the quarter Of the compass from
which fresher breezes may be exI
pected.
There is no Disgusting the fact
that the world has become weary OF
present conditions, especially those
nations which have followed Germany
in her wild course, and as that n:'-
ton has failed to make good the
promises set forth by the Kaiser
three wears ago, some are disposed
to play the part of rats when snip
j. about to sink. This is especially SO
with Austria, that country having
,signified its desire to enter upon the
j discussion Of peace terms lmmedl-
ately.
The defeat OF Germany becomes
more apparent daily. Her war lerts
are aware of thxt fact, and before
the allies deal the coup de grace they
are anxious that hostilities cease. IL
is said in quarters where reliable
information emanates that the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Japan will soon bring about
Waterloo for the Kaiser and his CO.
horts. Germany will evade this, il
possible, and the world may no. ne
surprised to learn that tbs Father
land is ready to make concessions
that are calculated to bring ahou:
peace in the near future.
It is barely possible that the Gef-
man press has been instructed by
the Government to Yreat the rope 5
letter coldly. Germany does not wish
to appear anxious for peace. But It
has sought peace too often III the
past to make t worth while for i
TO try to jockey over the conditions,
Too much, also, is known Of the ST
uation, political and economic, IN
Germany to make that sort OF th:ng
worth while. All the belli%erents, ali
the world in fact. needs peace. huz
Germany is in very great need OF
peace, and its three allies are in des-
perate need. Germany might get
peace ON the basis of the Pope's lei
ter If it would take the necessary
steps, but any effort at 'bluffing' ny
the German Government would con-
firm the dlstrua5 Of the allies.
