THE TALK OF PEACE.

Germany wants peace and Austria Hungary wants peace; but they dc not desire peace more than any o1 the sixteen nations now arrayed against them.
 With all wanting peace why is not peace possible? Simply because the German idea that ruthlessness is 3 virtue must be made an end of The source of the wiekedness which has made this the most inhuman conflict waged in modern or ancient times has not been destroyed.
 The power to dictate still Is what the Central Empire is earnestly seek ing. The military organization which forced the nations to war and has re- duced the world to the verge of fam inc is what they are anxious to save There can be no lasting peace come from such a settlement.
 Germany regarding treaties as scraps of paper. and laws guarding the rights of nations as unworthy of re- spect, is not capable of making an enduring agreement. The worlds safety Is the important thing; and this makes Germany's defeat at any cost 8 necessity.
