VARYING VIEWS OF PEACE

powers cannot consider peace terms
on the line suggested by Pope Bon
odlct. He says there can be no per-
manent peace until czarism 10 abao-
lutely crushed.
Col. W. ]. Bryan believes that the
pope's suggestion Is worthy Of con-
slderatIon and may possibly open a
way to negotiations looking to a sat
isfactory settlement.
Col. Roosevelt warns against III
timed peace. In his characteristic
way he says:-"If we have peace
now as proposed by the paclnsts, SOC
lallsts. l. W. W. and the whole raft
OF sexless creatures. we would have
war after war; we would be trampl-

China was"

tonight In a speech at the Harvard
Club. where he addressed 600 Har-
ward men. the majority ofthem In

plauded wildly for his solid rec
