Berlin has sent out whining peace
cry, just as every one expected. Abso-
lutte and complete surrender, with no
German allowed in the counsels, other
than as criminal at the bar. ought

Allies will halt fighting.
Boston (Mass.) Globe:
Prince Maximilian speaks like SIM
cerc man. 1t is good that Germany
can find such men to speak for her
but the question is not of peace with
Prince MaXimiian alone. When he
asks for belief in Germany he must
show how deep lies the foundation OF
which such belief can rest,

There is not the slightest evidence

nan Ambassador to Constsntinople,
Won Wangenheim, told Ambassador
g, Morgenthau that the war plans had
miscarried, and that the best. thing to

The Allies have no interest in this
sort of a bargain peace. The only
peace that will concern them is a peace
with a Germany that has learned by

The proposition cmanating from
