The Entente Reply Is
All Right But It's Tone
\ Is Most Unfortunate


The war in Europe will go on--for the
present, AZ least.
The prospects are fine for some more
and some much fercer fighting and some
more weeping.
Cermany's peace proposal has been
turned down BY the Entente powers IN
manner that amounts 10 scorn.
They tell Germany that they regard it
as military maneuver and a trick.
This European war it should at all
times be remembered, is family affair
That is, until it comes to fighting and
bleeding,
None of the immediate members Of the
family are disposed to get into that.
These 1--WE will keep on fighting dec
Iarations do not mean that the Gar Of
Russia, or the King Of England or the
Kaiser intend to take the field
None of the fellows in the trenches are
consulted, however. before these declara-
tons are made.
Being family matter. we doubt
whether suggestions from this side are
invited or whether they are welcome If
volunteered.
In their reply to the Central Powers
we would say. however. that the En-
tente nations are both right and wrong.
Germany has not named terms to
prompt an immediate entrance into peace
negotiations by her enemies.
The violation of Belgium was das-
tardly thing that Germany must expect
to answer for, both by an indemnity and
the positive assurance that these people
will not be exposed in the future to treat
ment such as they have suffered
In their position that this assurance
must be extended to all other countries,
the Entente powers are everlastingly
right.
They are wrong only in the tone OF
their reply.
That tone is not happy to the ears Of
the pacifst who had hoped that the En-
tente powers would sense duty to the
world and see the opening for the peace
Of the world, and pronounce TO the Cen
trail Powers basis upon which peace
might be proceeded to.
The reply generalizes.
1t was hoped that it would be specific. !
II was hoped that the absence Of terms I
in the German proposal would be met
with terms.
The tone of soon in the Entente reply
we regard as wrong, in view Of the fact
that war means LIVES. and LEGS and
ARMS and BLOOD and TEARS, and in
view of the fact that the Entente pow
ers have basis upon which to proceed TO /
peace that need not call for the sacri- 4
fee of honor.
What more honor could England ask
for, for instance, than the leadership for /
universal peace thru disarmament, which
Germany has indicated disposition to
discuss.
The trouble with the reply is, it does
not take account Of the poor devils in the
trenches-either in the Entente trenches
or the trenches of the Central powers.

their honeymoon became a success
1t was well along In their month that
this happened.
Rose had spent a maddening sort of
day, a day that had been all edges,
trying not to let herself feel hurt over
fantastic secondary meanings which II
was possible to attach to some of the
things Rodney had said, trying to be
cheerful and sensible, and to ignore
the patent fact that his c~heerfulness
was as forced and unnatural a thing
as hers. The children-as a rule the
best-behaved little things in the world
had been refractory. So, after their
supper, when they'd finally gone off to
sleep, and Rose had rejOined Rodney
in the sitting room, she was in a state
where it did not take much to set her
off.
It was not much that did nothing
more. indeed, than the fact that she
found her husband broOding in front
