British Ideas Formulated.

All parties and politicians Of i'm
portance now favor such an aSSocla-
ton and the government of Grea.
Britain in response to public demand
is ready not only to advise NJ. Will
son of it's readiness to include pro-
vision for a league of nations in the
peace treaty, but it has formulated it's
ideas for presentation at an early
date.
Lord Robert Cecil will be in charge
Of the special section of the British
peace delegation dealing with a league
of nations. He has long espoused this
principle and firmly believes in the
solemn obligation of the present gen.
Grafton to see that no war of the mag
nitude of the recent one shall recur.
The British do not believe that Ito
plan plans can be realized, nor that
nations can be expected to yield their
sovereignty. The British plan seems
rather to favor a step forward in the
world by insisting that disputes of all
kinds and over whatever causes should
be thoroughly canvassed before pub
lie opinion and before tribunals be-
fore there is recourse to hostilities.
1t would further require that every
nation submit its disputes to arbi-
tration or agree to a thorough ex-
animation of them during a given
refusing to present its case to world
tribunals be made subject to penalty
by the league of nations
Sponsored by Mr.. Bryan.
This is really an extension to the
whole world of the principle of in
vestigation of treaties sponsored by
Mr.. Bryan and concluded between the
United States and more than thirty
powers of the world, in fact. all ex-
cept Germany, Austria-Hungary and
Turkey. But England would go
further. and provide an international
organization which would compel the
submission of disputes to the public
opinion of mankind, s, that conceiv-
ably the league would have full op-
portunity of Cancellation. if not the
actual employment of threats of force,
to keep the peace.
Mr.. Wilson himself has never an
nounced his formula for league of
nations, but the object and principles
he seeks to attain are fundamentally
the same. 1t is a question how far
the President believes it necessary to
go in practical application. but this
much is certain. that England is
ready to go as far as America in
breaking tradition and precedent to
find means of making secure the
peace of the world.

THE EFFECT OF TAKING
PRISONERS

When Grant asked for a report
on bate his first question was:
How many prisoners taken by
each side? That was a real guide.
In the present war up to date
Russia leads in men lost as pris-
oners and Austria is next. 1t is
interesting to note in that con-
nection that those countries were
the first to raise the flag Of re-
volt.
The loss of man power is the
most difficult to replace. It exer-
cises the most powerful influence
on the minds of those who are
disposed to rebel against auto
cratic power feeding its children
to the cannon for the purpose Of
its own perpetuation.
OF the 2,87427t prisoners
taken by the central powers up
to January 1, 2,O8O,699 were
Russians, leaving only around
100000 prisoners of France,
Serbia, Italy, Rumania, England,
Belgium and Montenegro in the
hands of the Teutons.
There were German, Austrian
and Turkish prisoners in the
hands of the entente allies up to
January to the number of
I,2l2,26S, but more than 100000
of these had been taken by Russia
and since presumably released
Aside from Russia, England has
taken the most prisoners, 1884,
.776, and France the next highest
with 100000.

SHIFTING ?

Several men returning from
New York bring word that there
is a strong movement for peace
under way. 1t is a curious fact
that those who were formerly
most eager for war, and most
contemptuous in their attitude
towards what they supposed to be
the paciiicism and lack of patriot
ism in the west, should now be
thinking Of the possibility Of a
negotiated peace, whereas the
west has only begun to fight
and means to fight till a real de-
cisiOn is obtained.
1t is hard to imagine a greater
calamity than an inconclusive
peace would be. For what we and
our associates in this war have
to conquer is, not territory, but a
naughty and wicked spirit.
The Germans must be beaten,
and realize that they are beaten.
or else the world will not be safe
humanity will not be safe.
More important even than the
restoration and compensation of
Belgium, northern France, Serbia
and Poland is the forcing on
Germany of the bitter conscious
ness of failure in her great raid
on the world.
President Wilson has said, let
it be remembered, that there can
be no peace on the basis Of the
status quo ante. That would
mean a draw, and a draw would
be a German victory.
The people of the west will
never consent to such a peace.
In that we believe that they are
at one with the American people
as a whole. We are in this war
to crush, not simply an autocratic
political system, but an auto
cratic temper and habit of mind
Never before was there war
in which so much psychology
was involved. Never, either, was
there a war in which there were
so many wrongs to be righted
or so many infamous criminals
to be punished.

Both Rumania and Switzerland
may be Belgiumized. The only
salvation is consciousness on
the part of the kaiser that the
division of his forces necessary
to accomplish the outrage would
menace his whole line. Switzer-
land has remained more or less
confident on account of its treaty
with the central powers, but
whenever they decide to go in,
that treaty will be only another
"scrap of paper" A cold blooded
murderer knows nothing of
honor.
