It is unlikely that the proposals Of the
Pope can accomplish these ends
The war musut go on, in all probable
ity for months to come, before Germany
can be brought TO a state Of mind which
will make possible the realization Of
peace along such lines.
But taken in connection with other
signs of the times it gives promise that
the time when peace can be seriously
discussed is not far away.
Already German newspapers are freely
expressing views which only a few
months ago have insured their editors
long terms in Jail.
Macmillan Harden's revived Die Zun-
kuft," in its first issue after the lifting
of the suspension enforced against it by
the German authorities, went so far as TO
advocate the return Of Alsace-Lorraine
to France. If that would insure durable
peace.
1t may be that the reply Of the
Entente Allies to the Pope viii prove the
entering wedge which shall open the
way to broader German concessions. I'M
ill little by little the path to a lasting
peace shall be made straight.

This Darkest Hour of
War Gives Promise That
Dawn Is At Hand

One great consideration should guide
The governments Of the entente allies
IN passing judgment upon the peace pro
posals Of Pope Benedict
The question which must be satisfac-
torily answered before any plan for end
inc the war can be accorded a serious
hearing Is: Does it offer a sufficient
guarantee that civilization will not again
be subject to such an attack as that
launched by the Kaiser in 1914?
Reparation for wrongs done. insofar
as reparation is possible, is matter Of
dollars and cents and, therefore, Of minor
Importance
Retribution might be left TO the judg-
ment of history.
But it is absolutely imperative that
the free peoples Of the world must not
again be called upon to defend them
selves against a ruthless war Of con
quest.
The blood OF thousands of soldiers
must not have been shed in vain.
The world must be made safe for
democracy.
In this question Of adequate guarantee
are bound up the issues Of territorial
reimbursement. national and racial ambi-
tons and the myriad social and economic
problems which afflict the states Of
Europe.

It Is obvious that something more
than mere German promises IS required
to make such a guarantee effective.
The world has no faith in the pledged
word of the German autocracy.
The memory of Belgium and Won
Bethmann Hollweg's scrap Of paper IS
fresh in the minds of all.
Treaties and agreements are empty
words, so long as the German military
power remains intact
The men who violated the neutrality
of Belgium in the face of their solemn
oath, would not hesitate to Go so again
should the occasion present itself.
Either a government responsible d.
rectly to the people must be set up in
Germany, or Germany must be bound
hand and foot If the shadow Of the war
Is to be lifted from the world.
The Detroit times., 1917-08-16

No agreement, however binding, no
program of national disarmament will
bring peace so long as there are in the
world racial groups held in unwilling sub
lection to an alien government.
Until these people are allowed their
full measure of freedom there will be
plottings, revolutions and wars.
The establishment turnout the world
Of the principle that all governments de-
rive their just powers from the consent
of the governed Is vitality essential to the
establishment of future world peace.
This brings up the question of Alsace-
Lorraine, Poland, Trieste and the other
disputed territories now wholly or il
part under the domination Of the Ger
man empire.
Germany must be willing to submit
their problems for settlement with ref
erence to the welfare of the people in
volved, rather than the furtherance o.
imperial ambitions.
