PEACE MAY BE FASTENED
Poverty In 6eiIIeerent Countries May
Be Cause Of fastening Peace
Proposals.

London.-The censorship has been
relaxed, not only In the allied coun
tries, but In the central powers. For
the first time in months 1t is now pos
sible to write of many things.
Those who expect an early peace
have no reason to feel disheartened by
recent events. The old saying that the
darkest moment OF the storm precedes
the calm still holds. This is a period
of blundering and blowing, in high and
low quarters, a time when thoughts
are readjusted, and fortunately all the
belligerent governments seem to have
decided simultaneously that the mo-
ment has come to remove most Of the
censorship restrictions.
The allied war council at Rome,
where Lloyd-George, Miner and Bri
and are meeting with Boseld. ranks
with the important series Of consulta-
tions between the rulers and states
men Of the central powers. There is
not single belligerent unable to coz
tinue fighting because OF exhausted
manpower, and there is no immediate
prospect of any of the big powers ap
preaching such a crisis. On the other
hand, there is not a single belligerent
unaffected by the economical situation.
1t Is important to remember that.
after certain point, economic difficult
ties multiply like mosquitoes In a
swamp That point has been reached
In the central powers. Emperor Charles
ascended the throne with swarm Of
economic mosquitoes around his head.
They are now buzzing at such furi-
ous rate that he Is forced to make drae-
tic changes in the ministries Of the
dual empires.
The cry of peace is becoming louder
and of greater volume. Count Tisza,
the Hungarian premier, must go and
his successor probably will be Count
Andrassy, an open advocate Of peace
at practically any price.
