NEW PEACE PROPOSALS.

George Bernhard. editor of the Nossische Zeitung, a Berlin newspa- per which at one time was considered a power in Germany, has published the following conditions for peace:
 France and Italy to discuss
 with Germany and Austria their
 future frontiers without the in
 tervention of third parties;
 All the German colonies to be
 returned;
 Belgium to be restored com
 pIete1y as an Independent state;
 All merchants of the Central
 Powers who have been deprived
 of their property overseas to be
 restored to their former rights
 of possesaion;
 Great Britain to evacuate un-
 conditionally all parts of the Turkish Empire and Persia;
 The situation before the war to
 be restored in Egypt;
 The Dardanelles, on the basis
 of a treaty applying to the states
 bordering the Black Sea, to be
 free for the passage Of Russian
 ships.
 That is not half bad, for a German, Only Bernhard forgets, in his first condition, that any "discusslng' Italy and France may have to do about their frontiers, will be done with their Allies after the German voice has been siienced by might of arms Again, in the fourth paragraph, he neglected, with the usual Teuton1c short sightedness, to state whether the property of merchants of Entente countries, confiscated in Germany, will be restored. And finally, he says nothing about the future of Poland. The Allies, following the declaration of President Wilson, have asserted that before peace can be concluded, the independence and restoration Of Poland must be guaranteed. -
 However, we must not expect too much at one time. The fact that the editor of a prominent German news paper agrees that Belgium must be ficted upon that unfortunate country, is indeed encouraging. It looks as though thinking men in Germany were coming to a realization of the truth of Hollweg's state ment when the latter announced on August 4. 1914, in his first fam nOus war speech, that "Germany did wrong in violating Belgium's neutrality and that this wrong must be righted".

 Washington seems to be under the impression that legislation is required in order to give to Vice Admiral Sims the promotion to the grade of admiral which he so well deserves, and which the responsibilities he now shoulders so well warrant. We do not so under stand if. Under the law the secretary of the navy is permitted to designate three officers to hold the grade of admiral at sea. At present the com manders- inc chief of tht Atlantic and Pacific fleets and the chief of the bureau of operations are the three officers thus designated. 1t should be simple enough for the department to designate Vice Admiral Sims au ad- miral in the place of one of the three officers named
 As our Washington correspondent in a recent letter emphasized Slime is today doing the work which for the army is performed by two Generals Pershing and Bliss. He is not only supreme in command of all our naval forces in European waters, but he represents us on the Allied Naval Conference. Nothing could be better than the way he is performing his every duty. He has proved himself not only a great commander but a most effective cO-ordInatOr. and the British and French share the admira- tOn of his abilities which is strong throughout the navy and strongest of all among the officers and men of his own command. Congress could we'll afford to promote him directly to the grade of admiral, but for him to reach that grade all that is required is an order of the secretary of the navy so designat ting him Has Secretary Daniels any good reason for delay In issuing such an order?

Election of .Tud geS.
(From the Fall River Hera1d.)

fFrom the Fall River Herald.)
 The constitutional convention has met up with the proposition to elect judges by popular vote It was inevit- able that soon or late it would have to tackle this proposition, because thorc have been frequent demands for q change from life tenure hv ap- potntmont by the governor. which de- ma ndS have been based upon a vari- oty of motives The most significant of these is djssatlsfa ction at the in terpretatiOn of the laws by the courts This means that the persons who thus feel themselves aggrjoved hope to gain an advantage by upsetting the bench and putting upon 1t men of their own choosing who will interpret the laws more to their liking. This does not mean absolute justice. such as the courts of all states should guar antee. It means the influencing of the courts to shape their judgments to popular favor. That is not what Massachusetts should have.
 One of the delegates, in debating the proposed change, observed that Massachusetts stood too much on pre- Cedcnt Massachusetts courts have a reputation for soun1ness of judgment and fairness to 1itigants second to none in the United States. Much of this reputation has been due to the kind of men appointed to the court benches. It is superior to that of many other states in which judges are elected. and the precedent is worth standing on No convincing argu- ment for a change has yet been ad- Nanced. 1t is not convincing to say that in 42 other states the judges are chosen by popular vote unless it can be added that the judicial system is improved thereby.
