CUT OUT PEACE TALK.

A dlsplcting incident in the
United States senate The other
day was a national peace plan
outlined by Senator Owen of
Oklahoma to effect the cessation
Of war and future peace through
a proposal of league Of all ma
tons. This is in line with the
recent efforts of Lord l.ansdowne
to bring the war to an end, and
must, of course, be very pleasing
Ito Germany.
We do not know of anything
that will dampen the spirit of om
men abroad more than a continu-
alton Of this peace talk. What
would be the result if the plan OF
Senator Owen We're immediatel,
|put into effect? 1t would mean
that Germany would enter into
Ipeace negotiations at the precis,
Iperiod of the war when she is il
possession of the most cOnqucrc,
territory. Is it reasonable to be
lieve that peace, could be arrange
with her on terms other thai
those permitting her to retain
large part of Russia, if she is will
ing to back out of France an
, , Belgium?
To put it another way, it
like talking peace with ma
when he is more than confidel
! of winning than at any other tim
= in the fight.
Let us discard this peace stu
until America has had an oppo
itunity to show the Germans Il
quality of our mettle as a figh
ing race.

The usefulness of the tank, most
spectacular invention of the war. may
not end with the signing of peace. The
great work has been suggested for 1t
OF making productive once more the
shell-torn fields of Belgium and
France.
In the farming regions where hard
fighting has taken place. the land has
been blasted and ripped open by high
explosive shells. and drenched with
poisonous chemicals A number of
scientists expressed the gloomy view
that the topsoil had been SO scattered
and so much of the lower and unpro-
ductive strata brought to the surface
that, added to the poisoning. many
years must pass before fertility could
be restored. These opinions had a
serious effect; generous sums were
pledged. many in America, to restore
towns and villages, but few cared to

Maryland Had First
American Legislature

The first colonial assembly to enjoy
the right of initiating legislation was
the Maryland assembly, which con-
yened in 1886 and was composed OF
representatives of the whole people
n purely democratic legislature. In the
beginning every adult male citizen was
permitted to sit in the assembly. but
with the increase in population IL
was found necessary to limit the num-
Der, although there was still no legal
restriction on the number of delegates
the people might send.
Under the charter Lord Baltimore
had the power of enacting all neces-
sarys laws for the colony, with the
advice. consent and appreciation OF
the freemen of the province" The
assembly demanded the right of init
atiny legislation, however. and this
was granted by Lord Baltimore In
1888, and the following year the As
semh!y met and enacted the first stat
utes of Maryland. In their law making
the pioneer Marylapders were entirely
independent OF the British Parliament
and enjoyed a greater degree of au-
tonomy than any other English col
ieny.

With his waning strength he .flosged

General A. 7. Hill of the confederacy
makes this report of another union

A Yankee color bearer floated his
standard in the field, and his regiment
fought around it. When the regiment
was obliged to retreat, the color bearer
went last of all, turning around now
and then to shake his first at the pur-
suing enemy was sorry when l saw
him meet his DOOM
Nathan Hale, a 2l-year- boy, left
the comparative safety of his regiment
in t776 and came to New York in dis
guise to gain information for Washing
ton. This was a far more courageous
deed than he could have accomplished
in amy battle. For discovery meant
not only death, but the shameful death
of the rope. This he risked. And this
befell him. Uncomplaining, he died

QUEER DOINGS AT HaVRE.

One Of the triiling problems of
the community's editor is to
please everybody. He is asked
why he does not print all the
news of all the doings in his town,
and then he is criticized for print
ing the news that is nobody'S
business. II is q Tough job, from
any angle, as YOU may guess from
the following letter to the editor
of our esteemed trouble maker,
the Hayre Promoter:
"Why don't the Promoter priat

THE KAIsER's LAST THROW.

Tine followers Ol tie MdI4uiS VI
Oueensbury will discover an anal
cgy between the kaiscr's mad
rush and the ring fighter who,
at the critical stage OF a losing
contest, attempts what IS known
technically in pngi'ism rs the
pivot blow. This blow, barred
from the rules for some years, IS
wonderfully effective when It
lands successfully, which is one
chance in hundred. The fighter,
worn down after many grue'lns
rounds, facing all but certain de-
feat at the hands Of a strong and
confident opponent, gathers
every last ounce Of strength for
q wild rush, backs, stops, swings
his right fist in a circle with a
rapid turn of his body on the
chance of catching his opponents
Jaw at precisely the right angle.
il must be timed to the fraction
of a second and the opponent IS
at a disadvantage in that he has
no means of guarding against a
blow that is wildly aimed and
may strike anywhere. If it
lands precisely right, all is over.
If it fails, the result is the other
way, because the aggressor is
then open to attack from every
quarter.
II was expected that the great
German offensive, SO carefully
prepared, would advance, indeed,
II could hardly have been other
wise, because it was obviously
impossible for the allies to MAIN
tain q line for three hundred
miles against such forces as the
Germans could gather at one or
more particular points.
We are witnessing the German
attempt at the pivot blow. 1t can
only win if the allies armies are
crushed and the possibility of
that, as it occurs to us, is SO re-
mote as to be negligible. Prob
ably the Germans have taken
many thousands OF prisoners and
very many guns, but even if they
took the channel ports and Paris,
entirely outside of the range OF
possibility, there must be taken
somewhere in France" six mil
lion British, French and Ameri-
can soldiers. Unless the man
power Of Germany is vastly more
than has been counted at any
time or stage Of the war, Ger
man yietefs, final and complete
is beyond the bounds of reason
able belief.
It is Germany's last throw Of
the dice to win. When it is over
she must be reduced to defeat by
q process Of attrition, which may
be slow, but is as certain as thu
rising of the sun. The creates
