SEES PEACE BID IN SPEECH.
British War Trade Minister Thinks
Offer is Made to England.

London, June 2S.-Discussing the
Reichstag speech of the German
foreign minister. DR.. Won kuehlmann,
Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war
trade, told foreign press representa-
tives here yesterday that he regarded
the speech as peace bid directed
specially to Great Britain. The terms
of this bid Lord Cecil characterized as
of an exceedingly vague nature, con-
forming, he said, wholly with the pan
German policy.
Regarding the freedom of the
seas" mentioned in kuehlmanns
speech, Lord Cecil said:
"Tf the phrase means anything, II
means the freedom of Germany to i'm
port raw materials"
i Lord Cecil Y said he disbelieved
Washington dispatches to the effect.
that apan had refused to intervene IN
Russia. "The subject" said he, sis
still a matter of negotiation between
tre allies" e y SNS

The Prussian Puppets.

1t is difficult to believe that Foreign
Minister Won Kuehlmann's recent adj
dress to the reichstag was made with
out official inspiration and indorse'
ment. In fact, we may be sure that
no official servant of Prussianism
makes a deliverance such as that of
Won Kuehlmann without consultation
with and the permission Of his mas
tiers. The kaiser is an adroit puppet
Snowman. And his puppets crate and
gesticulate with purpose. If the
audience does not like the performance
it is easy to pull them down with an
air of indignation and substitute
others. But we may be certain that
the puppets always speak by the card,
and that there is design even in
their apparently most inconsistent an
tics.
The comments of the British and
French press indicate that they re-
alize that it was the Prussian VEN
triloquist who was speaking through
Won Kuehlmann, and that, however
angry the Snowman may appear to be
with him, he spoke his piece as it was
written for him. A variety of mo-
tives may have dictated the perform
ance-a desire to make the German
people think that a genuine peace
suggestion had been made and spurn-
ed, and thus reconciled them to des-
perate defense; wish to test public
temper in Germany and abroad on
war aims and peace principles; a
possibly remote hope that the germ
of a war trade contained in the Rus
sian suggestion might find a lodg-
ment in Allied countries. It is diff
cult to follow the devious processes
OF the Prussian mind. They are as
complex, as involved, as curious as
one of those long and elaborate Ger
man sentences in which an English
student finds himself lost as in
maze.
Won Kuehlmann has succeeded in
one thing at least-in making every
bod talk about peace-in putting Gin
nocent" Germany once more in the at
tituie Of offering the olive branch.
He may be repudiated, but he leaves
his germs to hatch or not, as may
be. And all the same, the Imperial
Snowman made him do his song and
!ance act.-Baltimore Sun.

THE SARAJEvO MURDERS

Four years ago yesterday the Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the
Acknowledgements throne, was assas-
sinated by Serbian fanatics. In re-
venge for this crime Austria-Hungary
tried to make vassal state Of Serbia
and thus, gave to the German mill
tarists an opportunity to bring about
the world conflict which they had
long been planning for the time when
they could be sure Of the dual mon<
archy's support as an active and will
ing ally.
This was the caase Of the war. On
the fourth anniversary of Archduke
Ferdinand's murder the German mill
rarists are gathering together in anx-
ious conc!ave because the German
government has been, compelled TO de-
clare to the reichstag that peace can
snoti beSwon on the battlefield. It has
required three years and eleven
months Of fighting to extcrt his con-
fsssian from Germany IRE vast

THE CAMP LEE PAPER

We have received a copy of "The
Bayonet," published at Camp Lee. 1t
is fine publication from every stand
point, It's articles are we'll written,
and from a printers standpoint, it is
up to date. 1t contains matter of in
terest to the boys and their dear ones
at home.
While perusing "The Bayonet" our
mind went back to 1861, the first year
OF our civil war, when regiment of
Federal soldiers from Pennsylvania
seized The Gazette office and issued a
print which they called "The Penn
sy:vanian." Half of the paper was
IN English and the other half in Ger
man. "The Pennsylvania" was Short
lived, as it ceased publication when
the stock of blank paper seized in The
Gazette office ran out. The paper was
set up in our Office, but printed on the
press of the Virginia Sentinel.
"The Pennsylvania" was crude
affair, and contained nothing OF in
terest save to Pennsylvania Germans
who came down here during the war.
The Bayonet," on the contrary,
abounds in miscellaneous matter, each
article being readable. 1t also sends
out finely printed Illustrated supple.
ment containing pictures of scenes in
Richmond and other nearby places.

dreams Of PAN German ambitions that
made international outlaws of the;
Hohenzollern. warriors cannot be re-
allied by force of arms.
Germany's military machine, which
was ready for instant brigandage on
the assassination Of Franz Ferdinand,
is no longer able to keep up its bold
front of assured victory. The ma
chine has failed. Won Kuehlmann,
tLe third foreign minister whom Ger
many has called to subservient office
to the mil;tarists in the last four
years, has declined to conceal any
longer from the German people the
fatal defect of the machine which is
so relentless in its futile sacrifice of
German man power. The four years
from Franz Ferdinand to Won Kuehl-
mann mark the SCATTERING of the
Hohenzollern ambition to rule the
world by force OF arms. There prob
ably will be further painful efforts
by Won Hinderburg to rehabilitate the
reputation of the German army. They
will be in vain.
Won Kuehlmann's words are ringing
throughout Germany not to be for
gotten.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACE
MAKERS

The Angelus, which suggests that
every day at noon we turn our
thoughts to high heaven and earnest
ly beseech the Father 0: US all to
bring the present fearful war to a
close with victory for the champions
of right against might, appeals to
every lover of peace. The spirit of
the angelus is animating all, irrespec-
tive of ecclesiastical preferences.
At the outbreak o. hostilitics in Eu-
rope the congregation of the Jewish
synagogue in our own city offered up
prayers for speedy peace, in which
they deplored the fact that descen-
dants of Abraham were in each Of the
warning armies English, French,
German, Austrian, Italian and Jews
presenting the appalling picture OF
brethren battling against brethren.
They implored the God Of their faith
ers TO intervene ard not suffer the
suicide OF the civilized portion of the
planet.
For some reason, the heavens are
still silent, although the good peo-
pie of the world are still sending
up their appeals to the throne eternal
Honest prayers are sure Of fulfill
ment, though apparently long de-
ferred, and there should be no relaxa-
ticn in these opportunities.
Abraham Lincoln in his Inaugural
ton address in 1861 referred feeling

other things he said "thc dark clouds

MUST BEAR BURDENS OF LIFE

The world does not owe any man a
living, but every man owes the world
life.
How many there are who will have
to confess with. Grotius, as the shad-
ows deepen, 81 have spent my life
laboriously doing nothing!
There is just so much cross in the
world, and each man must bear his
own. Every man who shirks doubles
another mans cross. Let every man
take his share OF "hardness as good
soldier of Jesus Christ"
The Bible, which should be the rule
of life for every son of Adam, shows
us that the greatest individuals who
have ever appeared in this world
were working men.
Moses, we know, kept sheep on the
backside Of the desert forty years be-
fore he received his commission at
the burning bush, Elisha was blowing
when called upon to succeed Elijah,
Jesus Christ spent about thirty years
in a carpenters shop in Nazareth, and
Paul wrought at his trade, that of
tent-making. while preaching the
gospel to the Gentiles.
The Gazette this week published the
law proposed by the State Council of
Defense, which makes it obligatory
upon every man to work or show good
cause why he should be exempt. At
this critical juncture it behooves all
to do something toward winning the
war. There is work for all, and there
should be no slackers.

A large number of persons narrow
ly escaped being killed and traffic de-
layed several hours as the result of a
wreck yesterday in the Southern Rail
way yards at Danville. 80 cars load
ed with peaches crashed into the rear
of troop train, lifting the cab of the
freight train onto the roof of the
officers drawing room car partial
ly telescoping it. The accident was
caused by the brakes of the freight
train failing to work.
Three trains carried to
Camp Lee yesterday about 1900
drafted men from Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. Contingents from the
city of Roanoke and the counties of
Smythe and Wythe arrived late in the
evening. Yesterday hundreds of the
soldiers were engaged in clearing up
the grounds of the cantonment.
In order that an overall factory
may complete big government con-

would not accept, others said they
would tender it to the Red Cross.
Those who refused to accept the
money, are: Senators W. A. Rinehart,
Henry H. Downing, Fort Royal, and
Lucien Keith, of Fauquier. Delegates
