The Kaiser's Telegram,

From the beginning of the war the
German press has been VIGOROUSLY IN

printing only such matters as the high
authorities desired, coloring the news in
a manner to hearten the people, sup
pressing the unfavorable facts and, as
to the circumstance of the wars out
break, giving publicity only to those
facts and contentious that served to in
dictate the responsibility of foreign
powers for the conflict The discipline
maintained has been remarkable. a dis
cipline understandable in the light Of
the absolute power possessed by the Der
I'm government over the liberties and
lives of the people themselves. But oc-
casionally there has been a slip in the
scheme of control. A few newspapers
have let things get into print that have
embarrassed the government Some of
them have been suppressed from time to
time, in consequence. Again, there has
been lack of teamwork occasionally.
The newspaper offices, being kept in
ignorance of the facts, have gone astray
in commenting upon disclosures A case
is in point in the matter of the kaiser's
telegram to President Wilson, recently
revealed by former Ambassador Gerard
Although it bore evidences of gen

We saw this at the meeting of the
Confederate veterans III this town in
June. assembled in comradeship and
good feeling They were old men, more
than half century distant from the
struggle in which they had staked ALL
and lost. But they delighted in one an

forms with pride quite youthful-that
defed the years. They marched with
relish The old time came over them
and made them young again for the oc-
casion.
We are about to witness the same
thing in Boston, where. in a few days,
the Grand Army of the Republic will
hold its ffty-frst annual encampment
The survivors Of the host that saved the
Union are old men. But they, too, de-
light in one another's company, and
wear their uniforms with pride that
defes time. The distance from the days
of their exploits does not affect them in
their desire TO show their continuing
love of country.
This appears in their decision TO hold
the usual parade. The suggestion that
they are now too old for such demon
stration was rejected. They will march,
and IN larger numbers than recently.
The occasion, as they think, calls for an
unusual display by them They hope
it will contribute toward rousing
stronger martial spirit in the country.

colors and are on the eve of going into

camp, the march, the battle will draw
them close to one another, and give them
experiences that will never fade out of

hence those fortunate enough to reach
that time will probably meet, as these
veterans of the civil war now are meet
ing, to recall old days and renew their
devotion to the country and its insti

War is hell, but not unmitigated hell.

forces that rule the world are sometimes

The Pope's Peace Proposal.

Pope Benedict's proposition for peace
comes as a surprise, as it was not known
that the Vatican was contemplating an
Immediate move in this direction, al
though since the beginning of the war
it has been expected that from this
quarter would eventually emanate ef-
forts to bring about an adjustment Of
issues According 10 the early state
ment of the matter from Rome the Pope
proposes peace on the basis of the res
toration of Belgium. Serbia and Ru-
mania, and a peaceful solution of the
problems of Alsace-Lorraine. Trent,
Trieste and Poland 1t is TO be noted
that no mention is made Of the Turkish
question, and this leads tc the sugges-
ton that in the eyes Of the Vatican the
future of the Moslem in Europe is not
to be determined by the peace settle
ment which he hopes 10 bring about by
his intervention. Nor is reference made
to indemnities or other reparations than
territorial of the case of occupied eoun-
tries
Is there a significance in this proposal
of peace just on the eve of the actual
entrance of America into the war; Ger
tainly the cause of the allies is stronger
today than it has been at any time in
the three years of conflict. as result
of the participation of the United States.

many will be beaten in the field in the
next year or two, beaten decisivelv.
Consequently, peace plans now are look
ed upon with doubt as to commences
save in a spirit of desire to save Ger
many from defeat. This is not to east
doubt upon the sincerity of the Vatican
or upon its absolute neutrality. But
the fact stands that Germany wants
peace today and is undoubtedly willing
to make peace on the basis of territorial
RESERVATIONS and some adjustments in the
ease of the disputed provinces and ma
tionaities claimed by other powers.
What Germany is trying to avoid by
continuing to wage a war in the hope
of exhausting her enemies more rapidly
that she is herself exhausted is the i'm
position of terms that will prevent her
from resuming the conflict at her own
good time in the future.
The United States has entered this
war, in the words of the President. "to
make the world safe for democracy
Removal of the immediate causes of
quarrel between European powers as to
disputed provinces will aid to that end.
The restoration of invaded and oc-
cupied countries is assumed as the
first essential to peace. But res
toration of these countries and
an adjustment of the disputed terri
torial problems will not safeguard the
world against a resumed German of

certain self-evident tester and he can
not accept an outlook upon life that
looks to a bag of dollars as the only
goal worth while
The business man now knows some

the children will not go to school
two months in summer, II is hard
" probable the teachers would want
TO teach these months in this climate,
where the heat and humidity is al
most unbearable for several days at

There are no two summer months
(of The three) that would compensate
az school for two winter months.
In summer children are duh, slug
gish, fretful, and not inclined TO work
or study. Those of us who have tried
to coach backward pupils in summer
know this TO be the case.
There is no reason to close the pub
tic schools for lack of coal Instead
Il would be better to close the clubs
in town, close the saloons and other
public places that require heat, and
commander that coal for the use Of
the city public school at least.
We cannot afford to let the children
OF our land suffer because OF this
war, and to grow up in Ignorance.
The public schools must not be clos
ed for two months or two weeks, and
the people of this community. the tax
payers whom Il costs to educate these
children, should resent this step and

The State cannot afford to have the
school children lose this time from

UNUSED LAND.

In these days when every bit of
land should be made to count in the
growing of things, it is disconcerting
TO realize that there is so much land
held out of use in our country.
Within so minutes ride of the New
York City Hall, for instance. there is
said 10 be sufficient unused land TO
supply sufficient vegetables and truck
produce for the entire metropolis. But
instead of that, Gotham gets part Of
its vegetables and garden truck from
California and Florida and other far
away places. This, of course, plunges
an unnecessary burden upon the rail-
roads.
This land near New York City, how
ever. is held by folks who value it al
from $500 to $4,000 an acre. and all the
truck il could grow wouldn't pay for
the interest on such calculations
which are artificial and arbitrary
To retail land out of use in per-
iod Of national crisis like the pres
ent is the exercise OF a legal privilege
not moral right.
