THE PIPINGS OF PEACE

7PHE complete report of the English premer's peace
terms published in Saturdays Capital News, and
made the subject Of teegraphic review and COM
ment in yesterday mornings issue, turned the reader for
the moment away from and toward peace. There is
question that Lloyd Georges speech to aims
intended opening for cessation of hostes 1t
puts squarey up to the Prussans 1t supplements their
meaningless peace chatter with something tangible and
just. 1t calls their bluff
We may know whether the kaiser really wants
peace of nature that will insure world tranquility or
whether his clustering through representations mis-
guided and partially German-c controlled Russian group
a continuance of his program of deception.
The world will welcome peace, and in country will
it be acceptable than in the United States just
terng upon the serious phases of the But the
world does not want German peace. IT DOES NOT
WANT A PEACE THAT MERELY GIVES A
BREATHING SPELL TO A HATEFUL CRAFTY
MURDEROUs AUTOCRACY DURING WHICH IT
MAY PREPARE FOR FURTHER OUTRAGES UPON
CIVILIZATION
In fact it is doubtful if any peace pact with the ohen
zolens would be acceptable. The conclusion is unavod
able in the light of the inscriptions upon the scroll of his
tory during the past four years. that such peace
tract would give greater promise than attached in the
German mind to the Belgium treaty of neutrality and
other ''scraps of paper
The United States should emphasize it's position that
it is done forever with the kaiser with the Bernsorfs
with the BoyEds
Any peace should be concluded with those agencies in
Germany that will respect binding agreement and that
will punish any official however high who undertakes to
violate it.
Under all the conditions this country will undoubtedly
continue its preparations to actively and effectively enter

that great crowd had gathered on
the village green by the time Jimmy
Rabbit who had thought himself un-
seen returned.
That's u splendid, ideal" exclaimed
Mr.. Gray Rabbit, the mayor of Rabbit
vile, "and I'm glad to see you have
the nerve to stick to your convictions
regardless of what folks might say"
At first Jimmy Rabbit was at a loss
to know what his friend was talking
about, then it dawned upon him that
they were all praising his short tail.
Il just figured this way, you can
hop much better with a short tail than
long one replied Jimmy Rabbit
proudly. "and you don't have to worry
about your long tail being seen when
you're try ing - hide"
Certainly n clever Ideal" cried Mr.
Gray Rabbit. "Of course, it looks
strange at first, but when we get used
to it I'm sure We'll agree with Jimmy
Rabbit that short tails are much bet
ter than long ones"
And, what do you think? Before
night every rabbit in the village had
clipped off his tail.
Jimmy Rabbit ran home and told
Mamma Rabbit, and she was quite
proud of him.
So Jimmy Rabbit, through an accl-
dent started a fashion that has been
handed down through one generation
to another, and now you never see i

tails are the rabbit style. Next time

through the dead leaves with several
of his cousins when the game was in
terrupted by the bark of wolf, and
the happy party suddenly came to an
end.

"Oh, how strange You do look with

she'd gotten over the first shock, foe
In those days all rabbits wore their
tails long and fuzzy and Mamma Rab-
bits family was the envy of Rabbit
vile, because of their beautiful long
tails that curled up over their backs.
Jimmy Rabbit looked at himself In
a shiny tin can Mamma Rabbit had
propped up for looking glass, and
then he began to laugh.
Il certainly do look queer, but what
shall l do? ! can't help it,
You never can go around without n
tail, and yours was the prettiest in all
Rabbitville," and Mamma Rabbit be-
gan to cry, and all the little Bunnies,
seeing their mamma weeping, began to
cry, too.
What will the neighbors say? You
will have to stay indoors until it grows
again!" sobbed Mamma Rabbit.
Jimmy Rabbit hoped up and down
the floor and he looked so very funny
that all his little brothers and sisters
stopped crying and began laughing.

termined to join the local ambulance
class. When one of their mates hap
pened to cut his finger or sprain his
wrist there was q general rush for the
wounded man by the ambulance corps,
and by the time they had finished with
him he usually looked like a cross be-

tient at hospital.
All this, of course. was valuable
practice, and after many months of
hard work in the class an examination
was held.
